Level that definitely deserves feature.

Found a video of this level for anyone who wants to approve this review or just to make it easier if you want to provide a second opinion, I still recommend pllaying this level to get the best idea of how it plays: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GGu8i72keI

Gameplay (7.5/10) - Is your gameplay balanced, fun and interesting?

This level has a bit of cancerous memory bits in the first part that throw of the difficulty balance of the rest of the level. it took myself ~10 attempts to learn the first area, and then when I got through that I passed all the way through to 50% as the ship & wave were very easy compared to the start! The robot transition is also a bit fast which lead to me dieing a few times as you basically immediately have to hold after going through a teleport portal. Try to give the player a bit of warning before a memory bit or after a transition (especially in easier levels). Lastly the end wave messes with the pace of the level as it is too slow for this level & the song, as the rest is mainly double speed.



Design (8/10) - How well does your level flow? this includes sync too!

This levels sync is pretty good, although there are a few off beats in the end cube & robot areas. Most of the transitions are perfectly synced with the music & overall the sync was pretty good with not just the use of gameplay sync but also good effect sync.



Decoration (9/10) - How pretty does your level look? this includes effects!

The custom bg's and effects this level has are just wow. Not only are they original, but they are all colorful & different throughout the level. The best ones in my opinion were the ones at 0:32 & 0:52 as the moving glow effects look amazing. The only areas that fell down are the robot & wave which seemed lacking in deco, leaving large black gaps with nothing in them which looked empty. The deco sync in this level is also a strong point with most of the background (especially the one at 0:32) moving with the beat or pulsing with the song. My last point in this category is just a little thing i noticed in the start section, the bg doesn't fill the screen. I recommend just adding a few more of those cube custom bg objects a bit higher up because the grey on its own looks bland.


Originality (Multiplier x1.15)
The 3d effects around the tube are original, along with most of the other bgs except for the first area, robot area & end wave. The reason for not the full 1.2x multiplier is the end wave being really slow with a custom bg is not very original.

Total (28/36)
