space i guess by HipVillain might be one of the cleanest entries i've seen for Space Gauntlet Contest, a level that instead of just representing space theme with simple ideas like planets, stars, black holes or other really common ideas, uses some astrology references as well as some famous theories which i found really unique, reminding me a bit of other entry called Planispheres by Flash.

I love how well animated this level is although it's not that detailed as other entries or levels in general, but it is the kind of style i would love to see more often, arts with clean modern designs, not intrusive at all with effects or overlays and overall a really good gameplay, which although i do not find unique i feel it extremely well done and executed even if not comparing to other entries. Not only being easy to read along the level but also really well structured.

You might feel some parts empty but i think it's more about effects, arts or backgrounds than structuration or something else more, the part before apple transition is the example of this, i felt it empty but as well i feel it's a good balance comparing other parts, pretty consistent and also uses song really well, song which although it's chill HipVillain managed to use it in a good way.

Gameplay as i said is well executed and understandable and this is one of the entries i feel that doesn't needs a gimmick or minigame to stand out, all due to its simplicity. I've never seen a HipVillain level before this one, but the potential this creator haves is just crazy and i hope to see more from him in the future! This is the style i would love to see more often in Gauntlets and or in Daily Levels, i think these look sick and are really unique for awarding.

I would place this one in the 6th spot in the Contest, being also one of my favorite levels in the game! Great job. 💘

Out Of Place by Djudjeit is an entry level made for Space Gauntlet Contest and personally one of my favorites in the Contest, and in the whole game! Contains a really chill atmosphere throught the whole level, and a really interesting and clean artistic design varied on each part but pretty consistent.

Visually the color palette feels really alive and fits really well with the designs and previous mentioned arts. And as visuals like effects, this level focuses on a low particle amount but also well balanced and used. As i said, it's clean about designs but also about how the level plays.

It doesn't feels exaggerated and fits also with the song, which tho not being my style of music does a good work with the level itself.

And about the gameplay, i do not consider it that interesting but i really stand out how understandable it is and i can easily consider it between all the entries i've seen in the Contest, one of the easiest and fun levels made. I could rate the gameplay as a 10 but i feel it lacks of something to make it more interesting.

Overall i see a level that focuses more on visuals, arts & designs than in gameplay. But that doesn't means gameplay is bad, i personally loved this one so much and it's pretty fun to play. Also really well balanced between all these aspects. I've never seen a Djudjeito level before, i'm impressed about how unique this one is.

About the contest, i would place this in 3d place. Unique, but lacks from a gimmick or something interesting to try in more than a lineal gameplay. 🙌
