Deco has some cool ideas and makes a decent attempt at matching the intensity of the song with its pulses. Unfortunately the structuring needs some work. It leaves a lot of empty space between structures and the bg and pulses can't do enough to make up for it.
Playing this you can immediately tell the gp is super skewed towards wave, but it also has a chain of orb heavy cube gp at 40% that I found to be the hardest part. Apart from the less than ideal balancing, it is pretty fun to play.
If you've already beaten plenty of levels harder than this, give it a shot, but don't do it as a hardest like I did.
Where this level kind of falls flat in deco, it decently makes up for in the atmosphere. The energy matches the song pretty well, but I wish there was a little more detail and variation to look at.
Playing wise this is a little rough around the edges, but very enjoyable and nerve racking.
Generally pretty unpolished, but still very enjoyable.
Honestly coming back to this level made me realize I don't actually like the look of this a lot. It leaves a bit too much empty space, the colors clash a bit much for most of the level and it looks a bit muddy at points. I will say the predrop has some slight highlights though, such as the spider .In terms of deco I do still prefer most of ImMax's other stuff.
That won't take away from the amazing time I had playing this though. Apart from the spider in the predrop which gets a tad too spammy for my liking, the rest of the gp is near perfect. It's super satisfying to pull off, intense and the wave where you slide over the slopes is awesome to go through. The gimmicks this level utilizes are very well executed in general, ImMax has always been good at that style of gp.
For sure a recommendation if you want something fun and high energy to play, but it's not a visual masterpiece by any stretch.
I don't think the update did this level much good, but I will always respect the nice usage of pulsing and design especially in a level as old as this. The gp isn't amazing by any stretch, but the song sets the atmosphere pretty nicely and the gp isn't too ambitious apart from the obviously skewed balancing. Still a solid level to this day. I wouldn't recommend it as a hardest though.
