I've seen a lot of people miss the point regarding this level, and I'd like to take the opportunity to correct it.

"Space I guess" is not about the theme of Space itself, nor is it about Philosophy. Rather, this is themed around the study of space, ie, Astronomy. Once this critical difference is understood, one can then finally understand what the level is really about.

With this distinction in mind, where this level really shines is its incredible planning and execution of its creative choices and its attention to detail to adhere to the theme it chose to represent.

Take for example, the vertical stairs section, where the apple orchard tree progressively goes from the flower stage to the fruit stage, ending with the apple falling from the tree in a clear reference to Isaac Newton, or the ground bending from the apple referencing Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity, to the orbit referencing Kepler's second law, and so on. Even the entire text, which people also didn't quite get, is verbatim sourced from Carl Sagan's famous book "Cosmos", which is the where the level gets its majority of its inspiration from.

Gameplay wise it's nothing too difficult (It is just an 8 star after all) and the jumps are well indicated. Do give "Space I guess" a try, it's an excellent example of what having a clear vision for your level and planning can take you, and it certainly has my backing for being one of the winners of the Space Gauntlet contest.
