Seokso is a generational creator, and this level is perfect example of why I say that.

This level's storytelling is second to none, the decoration is absolutely absurd and the gameplay feeds into said storytelling very nicely. Its one of the absolute best levels this game has to offer, and not many creators are capable of accomplishing what Seokso has with Behold.

The effect work, transitions, art, just about everything is so polished, down to the smallest details - the amount of care that he put into this project is evident in just about every aspect of Behold, however, the gameplay is just a little off at times, but it does happen more often than not that gameplay is typically sacrificed in order to make the decoration better - that's not to say that Behold's gameplay is bad though, as its still incredibly enjoyable from start to finish.

Overall, Behold is a one of the best examples of how far Geometry Dash has come as an art form, and there isn't many other levels like it.

Out of every level I've had the pleasure of playing in this game, none come close to commatose.

Rply's unique presentation and gameplay help elevate this level beyond the rest - with intuitive gameplay that keeps you on your toes at every moment, and decoration that just keeps changing in unique ways with each passing part, this doesn't feel like an average XXL level; this feels like a journey. The usage of colour to portray the different movements and emotions throughout keeps the near-10 minute run time fresh and exciting at every moment, and the designs change just as consistently, while retaining a visual style that still feels deeply rooted in Geometry Dash.

The song does an amazing job of making runs deeper into commatose feel that much more special, Glass Beach's unique vocal and instrumental performance give this level a sort of otherworldly vibe, and the progression between the calmer, more sombre parts relative to the loud, cathartic parts is really something special.

Speaking from personal experience, beating commatose is one of the purest adrenaline rushes I have felt playing this game, I think I got more nervous when I reached the closing couple of minutes of commatose than I did with any of my extreme demon completions, which might either be because I haven't played an extreme demon longer than a minute and a half, or because the sheer emotional catharsis the ending of this level offers is second to none.

If you're a fan of XXL levels, please, please, PLEASE play this level. Its an experience unlike anything else.
