Aperture by Chunlv1 & more is an entry level for Space Gauntlet Contest which i personally find out extremely well done even if it's not the style i think would fit for a space theme, but aside this it has some things that can be improved.
Visually, i consider this level the most polished one between all entries i've seen for this contest. Every single art or design has something unique, like a 3D effect or something else to avoid making it feel senseless and or empty. Transitions personally are my favorite part of this one. The observatory part transition is the sickest one this level has for me. I love how this one uses parallax effect along the level, i really stand out these details that makes this level feel really unique and not plain at all.
But there's something, even tho visually this one has a really amazing look. It also may feel intrusive at some points, and the beggining gameplay is a bit confusing due of this. Not the only part that i consider confusing but the most, it starts in a unexpected way. Also next part feels intrusive about overlayed things, something that kinda calms down through the level.
And the 3D part after the observatory one, the Drop part. Surprised me a lot to be honest, i've seen some gameplays like this before like in WANNACRY by Kira9999 but not in this way exactly. Looks really clean, not that intuitive tho about the gameplay. Might be confusing at the first time you reach it, but it will definitely make you feel you're not playing another design level. It's a nice experience if you ask to me.
Overall, everyone did a great job here but i would have loved to see this less intrusive at some points as i mentioned. Because gameplay is okay, it's not annoying at all but you might need to practice the level at least 1 time to beat it.
I would place this in the 2nd spot on the contest, a level like this would be nice to be in the Gauntlets. But as i said, visuals might cause complains at some points feeling that intrusive.
Planispheres by Flash is an entry level for the Space Gauntlet Contest, a kind of level i would love to see more in Geometry Dash talking about some aspects like arts and designs.
Which tho it's kind of simple compared to other entries, i perfectly see this one as a solid and interesting space themed level that's not about black holes, planets or simple space arts like most entries were, this contains these things in a very unique way. Has also some astronomy references/details i loved to see in that i haven't seen in other levels and makes this one stand out a lot.
Although all of this and besides how interesting visually and clean this level is, i feel it lacks of something about gameplay terms through it. Like a gimmick or minigame for example would have fit really well with this theme because of how easy it is to understand the level. It has a good gameplay tho, decent but a bit boring.
Overall i see a level that focuses more on visual work than in gameplay, not meaning it's a bad gameplay tho. I see this kind of levels perfect for Gauntlets or even Daily levels, which i would love to see more as i said before. Flash has a pretty unique style and i stand out how this one despite being a "simple" level, has a lot of things better done than others inside the contest and generally. š
About the contest i would personally place this in the 7th spot. Fair enough for the quality of it!
