Holy shit, this level is awesome. Thank you so much to @Willdrid for recommending this level to me. Unfortunately, my experience got pretty bad towards the end, but this is still such a great level. I somehow managed to beat this in 3 days.....how the fuck?! (istg the pc buff is real). Anyway, fun level with some minor chokepoints, but overall really good. I would 100% recommend this.
Level breakdown:
0-11: Pretty good intro to the level. Nothing really stands out, and it doesn't get super boring. 7/10
11-30: Again, pretty good part. The wave at 16% is a little jank, but it's really satisfying to pull off. The UFO click at 23% kinda pissed me off because if you release too early, the slope will bug out and kill you, but it's nothing too bad. The pixelated spider break is also annoying because of the double orbs that can kill you, so clicking the dash orb really late was always really sketchy. Nothing else really to say about this part, pretty solid overall. 7/10
30-48: Holy shit this is some of the greatest gameplay I've ever played. Honestly probably my favorite part of the level. It's really solid all the way through, but a few things are kinda stupid. The dash orb wave at 35% actually works surprisingly well, but the timings are a little finicky. The UFO and spider dual at the start of the part is pretty decent as well. Again, just a really solid part. 9/10
48-63: This is when the nerves would kick in. This robot is full of weird mini clicks and timings that honestly didn't make much sense. It still works though (somehow), but the constant reminder that one click could fuck up the next one is really stressing. The rest of the part is pretty decent, but those 4 orbs before the dual can die in a hole. They never really got consistent and were really annoying to die to. 6/10
63-79: Okay, I'm just gonna say it. The black orb at the start of the dual is bad. The dash orbs after are also really stupid and they can set you up really badly for the pink orb after. The rest of the dual is actually really fun and functions super well. The wave after is okay honestly. But then you get to the 70 cube and it all goes to shit. Holy fucking shit this part is so high cps and being at 70% definitely wasn't the greatest choice. Huge shoutouts to @Willdrid again for showing me a few skips to make it more tolerable, but god damn that cube and spider was such an ass clencher. The robot after is mid as fuck, but the red orb after the dash orb click is really stupid. 5/10 part.
80-100: Surprisingly good ending. Nothing really stands out as bad, aside from the ship at 88%. The wave at 82% is really well made and surprisingly consistent. The ball at 85% is okay. Sucks that I died at 86% and 90% though. 86 was due to a game stutter, and 90 was the last click so.....lol. 7/10
