Probably one of my new all-time favorites from this game, it's inspired in one of my hyperfixations and has a REALLY fitting Lapse song, almost like it was made purely for this level only.

The gameplay in the first part lets you take two paths, one underwater which turns you into a ship, and one on land which turns you into a cube. I think on paper this mechanic is very fun, and it is, but it's a little troublesome when not every part is balanced correctly. Still, I think the first part is beautifully done, even though I found some underwater parts a little tough.

The third part and everything that follows take a different path from the first two parts, where the player goes through an abandoned city above the clouds (with an amazing color palette by the way), then goes off to space jumping across (what seems to be) asteroids and satellites, until they pick up a gem inside a space station. Admittedly, it took a path I was definitely not expecting to see. Considering the first three parts don't really have anything related to space, I was expecting the player to go through a really windy place and then go underground, like a cave or somewhere dark, so seeing it go up to space really surprised me, but I still found it very fitting with the futuristic look on the first three parts.

It's also good to point out this level has a little lore which you can see in the description of Ludvigg's upload of this level in their YouTube channel, and I definitely recommend giving it a read.

One of the most creative and beautiful 1.9 design levels from last year, I never get tired of looking back at this and seeing every little detail that was added in this level. This, paired with the fun easy demon gameplay, makes the perfect level to come back to every often.
