Rating Curve

if i were to remake this, i'd make the ending more unique. in the successor i'm making i will make it more varied and interesting throughout - thank you for the kind ratings though everyone

The decoration of Ascension Tower is very clean and pleasant to look at, if repetitive, but if you're playing a level of this difficulty you won't care about the pretty visuals after thousands of attempts. Especially if 95% of those attempts take place on the final room, since it takes up by far most of the challenge of this level, taking me three days to complete when I first played it. I appreciate the attempt at trying varied gameplay through gamemode switches, but most of them fall short because of how little space there is. Now that the final room has been nerfed however, I can recommend this level if you think you're skilled enough for it.

The theming of ElatedBlossomLTD is incredibly unique, and very hard to put into words - a weird blend of old 2000s Windows aesthetics, combined with a very specific Mahjong desktop app. While the theming and decoration takes massive inspiration from the (brilliant) song's music video, I think it still executes its own ideas perfectly. Notably, the mini ship section where you must memorise the path through the invisible saws is very fun and different, which I think well describes much of the gameplay in the level. My only complaint is that the gameplay can feel very spammy in the early sections, though this is hardly a downside as it syncs very well to the music.

Such unorthodox use of 2.2 features and objects to create decoration that is unseen in literally every other level in the game. There is nothing like commatose, and there will most likely be nothing ever like commatose. While the 9 minutes should become grating to sit through if you die to the level's ever-increasing difficulty throughout, the amazing song by glass beach and nigh-perfect visuals means you never get bored. Really a triumph to make a level this long THIS unique and consistently captivating, which is why I believe commatose by rply is one of the best levels ever made. (no glaze)
