Rating Curve

probably the platonic ideal of a 6/10 level. shows some prowess with the editor, but is very clearly made in the early era of its respective update. made by three super talented creators, but not in a particularly strong phase for any of them. fun and dynamic gameplay, but some chokepoints in the first half make for minor annoyances and there are a few ways to break it (i beat this with a swag route in that first mini ship where you just go over the gameplay and land on the yellow pads anyway when you transition to cube. that one is fun but there are some that just break the level). the earthquake theming is good, but the shake is generally pretty annoying. for every bad thing there's a smidge more good. not an unpleasant experience beating it however.

First 12% is excruciatingly boring, next 9% is excruciatingly obnoxious. Then it gets fun! But most of the experience is spent dying over and over to the first wave and drudging through a piss easy and dull cube section. The ending is masterful, a perfect exercise in nerve control (i fluked it though :3c). Deco is overrated as well tbh.
