Okay so normally levels like this I am really not a fan of, one's that are entirely visuals being the same theme of either space or nature it gets really old really fast and I never really liked them in the first place, this level differs from those, the theming is genuinely engaging and the artwork and design is so impressive to where I can't ignore it, unfortunately it follows the trend of sacrificing gameplay for the sake of decoration but i'll honestly give it some points for being able to incorporate any gameplay seamlessly into the designs and decoration, the entire section between 45 to 71 is insane and I have to show appreciation for that work of art.
Level's pretty overhated to me but it's definitely not perfect, I like the atmosphere, song, deco and a good portion of the gameplay, honestly my only issues lie in the fact that some parts are much better than others, i'll admit the first ship does suck, the first drop part isn't always too fun to play and playing from 0 can feel somewhat lacklustre, I do still enjoy it though.
I really do like this level but after trying to play it properly and do runs on it I do have a couple issues with the gameplay, i'm not really a fan of the first drop section and also have some issues with the spider/ball dual, then there's the ufo that speaks for itself really, other than that I do think the gameplay is really fun to pull off and flows really well together, the deco is obviously very fitting for the level and is very original for the time, setting a new standard for memory levels within the game, not completely perfect to me but still seriously well made.
It is definitely a serious improvement on bloodbath with some part changes making it actually fun in areas it wasn't before, the extension is even really fun too, however it still carries a large amount of what bloodbath offers so there's only so much fun I can have with it, the deco is also interesting being one of the first iterations of that style but it's nothing "stellar" to me, also nikro's part is pure peam.
My main interest in the gameplay of this level is 64-100, I think it's genuinely fire and the rest is okay but my god the first 14% is genuinely abysmal like my god, playing that every single attempt would just suck, the deco is pretty decent for being a glow level as it steps out of the generic feel a good few times.
It has so much potential to be perfect, but because of certain timings and clicks and how they're made the gameplay falls short on being so close to a 10/10 and hence makes it an agonising experience at times, I really wanted to love it but it can only go so far in it's state.
