this level doesn’t give a flying fuck about what you want out of a level while still being well versed in community expectations. it comes off as extremely fun and unhinged in a way thats really hard to find anywhere else. not even the fan-remake super probably level could reach this level of insanity in my opinion.

like... who the hell comes up with the distractions in the robot part at the first drop? a ship part where you have to collect like a billion potions?? spelling out the name of the song in the level???

the creator of the level streamed himself building the level, and its pretty clear he really enjoyed the making of it. if you can find it i recommend watching it (i dont know if its up anywhere anymore though)

a very meditative level.

wless has always been a very interesting creator to me in what he brings to the table; his stance on levels as an art form has plagued the twitter discourse for years. with im god, he created something here that went against the grain of what people expect out of a level, almost comparable to a layout. even with such a bare-bones aesthetic, it's fleshed out with minor flourishes like a light haze and reflected structures, making it come off as having been genuinely thought out. it's not really like other levels that quite literally are just overdecorated layouts (though aleph 0 is a very notable exception).

the light decoration lends itself into an almost dreamlike level that is such a smooth watch. really the only nitpick i have is the ship camera controls which are obviously very janky thanks to it being made in 2.1. this level says all that it really needs to, and nothing else. and i think that’s kind of special.
