This is probably my favorite level of all time. No other level does it quite like this

The decoration and gameplay being simple is what makes this level so perfect to me I think. They combine with eachother to create in my opinion the perfect atmosphere (2.0 bias might also be why i love this level so much)

I love the interface series a lot. Platnuu's style of levels is definitely one of my favorites.

This level would probably be like a 9/10 if not for some things that I really find annoying with the gameplay.

The beginning to like 25 was so much harder (at least for me) than the rest of the level and made it a drag from 0. The gameplay is also really inconsistent in some parts & theres also a fair few chokepoints which caused a lot of frustrating deaths pretty far into the level.

Overall I do like this level it's just frustrating sometimes

This level is honestly pretty cool to me even though it's just a 2.0 level. I'm probably biased since I love 2.0 style levels but who Gaf. I don't really have much I can say about this level since it's way too easy for me to accurately say how it plays

This level (in my opinion) is very overrated. Many people have hyped this up as the best level ever, which I can understand but there are a few things that really ruined the experience of beating this level.

The decoration is all-around just very polished. Not much else to say.

The gameplay is honestly just good, nothing really special about it aside from a few chokepoints (the pink dash orb + pink orb part at the beginning of the ending is really inconsistent though)

This is THE worst experience I've had with any level ever, and I hope it stays that way. Not only did I have horrible luck, but it's also both chokepoint heavy AND buggy. This level took me ~9.6k attempts with over 70 deaths in the 2nd half.

The decoration is honestly not that bad, but it does NOT make up for the gameplay.

Overall, I wouldn't recommend playing this level unless you're well above the skill level for it, otherwise you probably won't have the greatest experience.

My deaths: (the level ends at 82% by the way)

78% x3, 77%, 76%, 75% x4, 72%, 70% x2, 66% x11, 65% x14, 61% x2, 60% x36

This was my first extreme demon before it got demoted, and for that it will always hold a special place in my heart.

After playing through it again today, I can say the core gameplay is very satisfying but just like Every glow level, the wave parts are so much more difficult than anything else which definitely affects the enjoyability of playing it.

What really makes me love this level though is the theming. It feels (at least for me) like you're stranded in a desert before the "Swarm" of bugs reaches you (you can see the bugs approaching before the drop). The level is also the most difficult during the drop, which makes sense because having a swarm of bugs attacking you doesn't usually make surviving in the desert easier.

Overall, I love the theming of Swarm, and it's still fun despite how badly it's balanced in the wave parts.
