Rating Curve

no level has or will probably ever reach the pure intensity of this level . the harsh effects , the blinding pulses , everything feels like it’s collapsing in on itself . the level being in 4x speed makes you feel like you’re running away from something as fast you can but you have no idea what it even is . for all intents and purposes this may be one of the best representations of hell in this game: the world around you is tearing itself apart while you run as far away as you can , until the only thing that stops you is the deep black void of nothingness at the end of it all . blairswipe is someone i really admire for always creating a unique atmosphere in their levels , and this one is no different . there are plenty of hell levels in gd , but i’d only say a few actually feel like an actual HELL level . its actual block designs are relatively simple , but everything surround those designs adds up to make an extremely intimidating level, with an example being the gameplay. blairswipes gameplay in this has aged beautifully- it’s as simplistic as the block designs are in the best way possible. there’s not really a good way to describe what makes fairy knife hell’s gameplay (on a visual level) so good , but i do think the way it combines with the levels effects and designs does wonders .

i think fairy knife hell is the last of a dying type of level . more than anything, it strives to be as intimidating as possible . and i adore that .
