Image of the Magic Gauntlet button next to the Doom Gauntlet button. Since there really isn't anything to say, I'll just post my thoughts on each of the levels. Level 1 - Schade by BranSilver
I personally really like the slope gameplay used here, although towards the end the gameplay dips down in quality with the bad transitions. The decoration is also something considering improvement, as it's really empty, which surprises me considering Alkali participated in this level. More air decoration would be recommended to fix the empty decoration. The music sync is alright, although the block design could be utilized more to sync to the music. Overall a mediocre level. Level 2 - Aquarius by Skitten
I actually really like this level. The gameplay is really good, the decoration and art somewhat match the theme of magic with the great blending of colours (well at least a lot more than Schade did) and the music sync is phenomenal. I liked how the block design pulsed when you landed on it in some parts. Other than that, I really have no other thoughts about this level. Level 3 - Kalaxian by Thomartin and JerkRatEh. This level is good in some areas and bad at others, the gameplay is consistent although rather slow and boring for the most part. The decoration and general theme are what irk me however, why did RobTop choose this level for the Magic Gauntlet? It definitely deserves to go into the Crystal Gauntlet more than something like Crystal Essence by Chase. The UFO part is a bit inconsistent and annoying too. Level 4 - Empyrean by Unknown Creators
Level 5 - Odyssey by Famous CreatorsPS. Mods, if you think that this isn't thread worthy then please lock. |

I died at the end of the first level like a billion times. Other than that, this is pretty good.

The gauntlet quality as a whole is really subpar thanks to the first two levels. Aquarius really isn't awful but Schade is probably one of the worst levels I've ever seen in my life. It's basically a layout level with colors and 1.4 styled blocks. And really the one thing I like about Aquarius is the coin routes and most (if not all) the art. The rest of the level is really subpar. Empyrean and Kalaxian are alright levels, they're not incredible, but I like them. Thomartin's part in Kalaxian is pretty mediocre but I like JerkRat's part, he finally made something non-generic after forever. Empyrean has several bad parts. KoolTrix's part looks horrible (yes, I know what I said the first time, but I changed my mind) and Chase's gameplay is extremely cancerous. Darwin's part looks way too simple. I like Nicki's part though. I really like Odyssey, but I don't like the song.  |

I've seen a load of people complain about lag in the comment section of Odyssey.
I thought people would have learnt to make working LDMs after the hassle with the Crystal Gauntlet.
It's not hard to make a low detail mode. No matter how shitty it makes your part look, JUST DO IT.

I don’t really know how the magic theme was supposed to be interpreted thanks to Schade. Apparently Robtop was looking for a layout level with some blocks put on it. I honestly saw nothing in Schade to make it “magical.”
Honestly, Odyssey is the best level, which is bad since it’s not supposed to be the best level. The known creators collab is supposed to be better but it just...isn’t.
Glad this is out, but I really would have wanted some better levels.

Schade and Kalaxian are fucking shit. Kalaxian especially. The gameplay is so agonisingly slow that every time you die you have to go through 1 minute of boring bullshit gameplay just to get to the hard parts.
The other levels are fine.

It's not hard to make a low detail mode. No matter how shitty it makes your part look, JUST DO IT. So, a while ago, you make the claim that: I agree. Guys, did you know that Dark Travel is a terrible level because Jonathan hacked the object limit? Smh. Yes because the creator didn't know how to live by limits, and made a level some people CANNOT EVEN OPEN. And now, when creators live by limits and make a level with under 80k objects, you still decide to complain. Like seriously, all you do is complain. Oh no! I can’t play the levels because of “BAD LDM!1!1!1!!1!1!1!1!1!!1’qnqnnnasjkaoa”. So congratulations, you’re a hypocrite. No matter whether the creators “live by limits” you still complain. Maybe if the creators have made their levels within the limits of the editor, and YOU still can’t play it, maybe it’s therefore YOUR fault for owning a shitty device? Just because multiple people in the comments section are bitching like two year olds do not make them right. There should be no reason for creators to feel obliged to keel down to players with shitty low-end devices just so that they can enjoy the game. If someone hacks the editor to make a level with 500k objects, there’s a valid reason to be upset. But the fact that the levels in the MG don’t exceed the limit of 80k thus means that you are EXPECTED to have a device capable of playing the level. If you don’t, it’s your fault and no one else’s. |

I find the results pretty decent tbh. I like Aquarius (especially the gameplay of it) however i don't think Schade looks magical in the slightest and i found the gameplay kind of medoicre. Kalaxian has good visuals however the gameplay (at least imo) is not very good but still tolerable. I haven't reached the collabs, so i'm not going to judge them.
Edit: So i finished Kalaxian and moved onto Odyssey. I've got to say that it looks really good and the gameplay is great but it's practically unplayable. Why, you may ask?
BECAUSE CX'S PART LAGS SO BAD EVEN WITH LOW DETAIL MODE that i can't even see what's going on. And i'm playing on a decent computer so it's not like my computer sucks.
Empyrean is.... well, i haven't seen the full level because i suck and Chase's part is too hard for a 7 star level.
