Rating Curve

this level just ignores the game's stylistic or technical limitations and just executes whatever it wants to and i love it so much for that

i don't know if any level manages to effortly juggle really smart and fun gimmicks as well as this one

what i appreciate most about this level is how it breathes so much new meaning to the song than i think any other level in the game, really. i wouldn't even call this level's strongest element to be song representation as it more fully realizes so much more than the song could've possibly intended to represent

i respect the dedication to the bit but you have to admit this level would have absolutely no value if not for the context surrounding it

it's been so many years now since this level has released and yet somehow noone's been able to make something that competes with how well it executes every part of its design for the entire runtime. i guess that just goes to show how utterly genius it is

adorable yet so utterly beautiful. there's charm tucked away under every detail xfuture put into this level

maybe it's due to my game design background but i absolutely adore how cleverly designed this thing is. sure, i can admit it's awkward at times, but can you really blame it when its the first level to ever attempt something like this

maybe a very easy or basic pick for one of my favorite levels but i just can't resist loving a level with this much polish and care put into every tiny detail. its impressive for nearly its entire runtime which is incredibly hard to achieve

while the storytelling this does is definitely corny and covered in very thinly veiled metaphors, it's still powerful nonetheless and i think maybe even works best with that over anything significantly deeper than that. i deeply respect the dedication to telling it too, to the point of prioritising it over raw decoration quality for a significant portion of the level
