gameplay that perfectly suits doing a 2p level solo. there's lots of little nitpicks i have with the execution but as far as solo-intended 2p levels go, this is the best there is

the natural upgrade from BER ZER KER in my mind. definitely gets over some of the incoherence and flashiness that level struggled with but to me still has very similar flaws

grax's usage of 2.2 is definitely very rough around the edges, flashy and at times add nothing of value to the level. but i entirely understand what he's trying to do with them and trust him to figure it out a year or two further into the update, and what he manages anyway is plenty impressive to me

it sucks that people chalk this level up to just mindless impressionable slop because it's very clearly so much more than that if you take a minute to look past its faults

it's really hard to explain why i like this level as much as i do but something about it to me sticks out a lot. i can see the vision and the vision is awesome as fuck

awkwardly designed at times, but the charm really shines through. there's something really neat to me about how self-contained this level is, just taking an idea, letting the player learn it and doing whatever it can with it to the fullest extent. it's the kind of design style i really hope more platformer levels do in the future

at times incoherent but the sum of its parts is still amazing and i have insane amounts of respect for any level that uses an original song composed for it

maybe it's nostalgia but this level really is the peak of 2.0 deco and energy to me
