One of the best levels in the game, straight up. Atmosphere is unmatched by any other level, gameplay is a little bit jank but I think that this adds more than what it takes away from the level and it is so immersive. The first part of the level is a very nice way to start; it feels like a proper break after dying and it gets really consistent so you can just focus on the pretty backgrounds and otherworldly looking structures. The buildup to the drop stands out a lot because it is really hard and this is the jank I am talking about in this level. The waves parts especially are really awkward but other than that it is still a really immersive part. It might be awkward but that's part of the charm of this level honestly. The drop part is a fantastic middle point for the level, it hits even harder in normal mode simply because of the buildup. It is nerve wracking in the best way possible. Learning it is rough but it is very rewarding because it is such a satisfying part to pull off. Holding that last dash orb from 0% is probably the scariest thing in the game, and I love it for that. Such fantastic conclusion to an already great level.

Super immersive, and super intense too, especially towards the end. It feels intense in the way DIRECTIONS does while it not having the extreme difficulty associated with it. It gives this classic ryli style that is fantastic and that makes the levels also interesting to play, despite the gameplay itself not being very polished. Fantastic level.
