Dolphy's newest community post shows a screenshot of the verified level!
Mad props to him for sticking to it despite his painful 98% fail, and good luck to Mullsy, who can hopefully beat it by the time the level gets rated.

Gonna be straight here, the obsession with unoriginal levels just for being difficult is killing the quality of levels.
But congrats to him gg

Pretty crazy. We’ll see if it gets rated. Hopefully it doesn’t end up like Thinking Space and just sits unrated in spite of the work that went into verifying something that obscenely difficult.

But congrats to him gg I personally find this level really ugly and bad so yeah I’m really only happy for Dolphy pulling through with it and verifying it for the achievement, not because I found the level good in any way.

A rate would be all that it’d deserve, if only to reward the player skill required to beat such an insanely inconsistent level. The thing would still place well within the top 10, even after all the new list demons like Cognition and Calculator Core get placed. Plus with dumpsterfires like Killbot getting rated and XO and Dear Nostalgists are similarly underdecorated while still being rated/featured. I don’t doubt that Tartarus will get rated since it was one of Riot’s old projects so a new Viprin level would have about as much of a shot of staying unrated as Tartarus does, but it’d still be nice to see credit given to other similarly massively difficult levels that don’t look particularly good. A star rating (and by extension, list points) also gives people more of an incentive to try the level. Would suck to see the level end up like unnerfed Planet Circles and be another hard recertification of Atomic’s that gets relatively little attention from the wider community and that next to no one even attempts thanks to the lack of rewards beyond bragging rights.

Just because a level is insanely hard and a person put a lot of work, doesn't mean it deserves to be rated. Thinking Space seems more like an extremely hard challenge, not an actual rateworthy level, at least in my opinion. I disagree with some levels having a rating, but personally I can't see much redeeming value in this level. At least XO and Dear Nostalgists have small sprinkles of uniqueness (DN was something new back then, even if it's not that amazing). Thinking Space just looks really old and it just doesn't hold up at all. If someone actually wants it to get rated, they'd probably need to get someone to redecorate it.

Conical depression is basically an extended challenge level, and SW is a generic old NC level. Both are rated but not featured. Why can't the same be done for thinking space? I get that that TS is definitely not feature worthy, but at least give it a rating, that would do it some justice in my opinion. It also doesn't look thaaat terrible, because the screenshot above is basically the worst part of the level.

Sorry your 4500th post was replying to a useless comment Some of those are highly subjective. I personally find Killbot pretty underrated in terms of its quality. It's not great but it's not as bad as people say. Phobos is also okay besides the abortion that is the first 2.0 part. Never seen any of the others but I've heard they suck so those probably shouldn't be rated either. My main point is that just because a bad level gets rated every now and then doesn't mean we should rate every bad level out there, and Thinking Space is a prime example of what I find to be a bad level. Tartarus also falls under this line of being bad and unrateworthy. I'm not saying the achievements aren't impressive (because they most certainly are), but a level's rateworthiness should be determined by the overall quality of the level, not by how hard it is.
