really charming, very good precedent to set for the start of 2.0

my favorite robtop level by far. imposing and unforgiving, it truly matches the energy it had at the time of the "boss level" of the game. it truly just takes everything the game teaches you and turns it up to 11 in a final trial

i think past this point, robtop levels lose a sense of charm and self-reliance; it ends up being that the levels just kind of expect you to know how to work with the mechanics and comprehend the designs right away mostly just due to how huge custom levels became past 1.9 and how huge the scale of updates became past it. and i guess that's fair, but it does lose the traditional game design evolution the game had over its levels. i truly do miss it a lot, and the closest we've gotten since then even including custom levels is the robtop platformer levels, but those have their own faults...

awesome as fuck introduction to 1.9 features

unmatched aura. relies on nothing but its own elegance to make a level that's both SO fair feeling and challenging in a traditional rage game sense at the same time
