Head in the Clouds, by nin10dorox [Youtube] {3-4 stars}

Hm, this level surprised me! The start is quite boring, but then... 

Gameplay: All in all I think the gameplay is really neat. The start is maybe the worst part of the gameplay. It's veeeery slow-paced which more or less fits to the song, but it's quite boring to play. The robot part is very neat in terms of design, but gameplay-wise it's kinda boring as well, and basically nothing happens between 0:26 and 0:33. That's almost seven seconds. The ship part is kinda boring to play, but it fits to the buildup more or less. The arcade wave part is buggy, but it's somewhat original so it doesn't really matter. Plus it syncs nicely to the song. The cube part afterwards is a bit buggy, but it's REALLY fun to play! It syncs really nicely to the music! My only complaint is that pink orb at 0:51 which makes the gameplay a bit buggy. The UFO part which comes after is bad in terms of gameplay. The platforms come too fast for the player to react, and it doesn't really fit that much to the song either. The rest of the gameplay is flawless for an easy level! It's very fun to play, syncs really good to the song, and even though some obstacles is a bit hard to react, the amazing effect at 1:04 and 1:13 and the sync makes up for it! All in all the gameplay is good.

Design: Hmm, there are some flaws, but the design is generally really good. I really like the aesthetics and the theme of this level, it's really cute! The start is somewhat underdecorated and empty, and could need some more decorations. The Robot part is amazing! I love the little balloons, and the cloudy theme is fantastic. The ship part is giving me a Lonely Travel feeling and isn't that good to be honest, it's kinda underdecorated as well. But then... 0:40 HAPPENS. Amazing effects! Love that it synced to the song. The wave part is somewhat original, but kinda underdecorated and boring. It's still kinda neat though, and I love the death effects xD The cube part right after syncs SO GOOD to the music, and even though it's somewhat empty and you could've added some foregrounds, I really love how you made the clouds move in this part. The rest of the level is really nice, but at times it gets a little empty, for example at the first UFO part. I liked the theme and the little valley though And I LOVED the rainbow rotation effect! So original and cool!

Originality: This level is actually really original! Especially the rainbow rotation effect was amazing I also thought the robot part was kinda original, I lvoed the color combinations at that part for example. The balloons dropping the blocks was also kinda creative. Good job here! Props to you for making an original 2.1 level xD

Music Sync: Amazing throughout the entirety of the level. Transitions are synced, the effects are synced, and the gameplay is fairly synced as well. Good job.
