By far the most satisfying completion that I've ever managed to pull off.
I went into this level expecting it to be difficult, but manageable. Holy fucking SHIT was I wrong. I seriously do not understand at all how this level has been out for OVER a year and it is STILL underrated. This is MILES harder than Catalyze, unnerfed WOW, and Wasureta. This genuinely felt like I was beating a new hardest through and through, and it genuinely frustrates me that this level is so low, especially because it even felt on par with Plasma Pulse Finale at points. Now, could I be biased due to my shit luck? Absolutely, but even if I am I feel like this level could go up a few spots, at the very least above Catalyze. About my luck, I had 34 total deaths past 60%, of which I had 6 in the 90% range, being 94%, 95%, 96% x2, 97%, and even a 98% death which is beyond embarrassing. I wouldn't say that's the unluckiest I could have gotten considering how absurdly difficult the ending of this level is, but I for sure wouldn't say I got lucky. I'm very glad I was able to stick through with this, but god did it drag my confidence through the mud as I was playing it.
About the level itself, I do think that it is very well made, and that anyone with a decent amount of skill would be able to enjoy it. For me, it took a LOT of overpracticing to even marginally get consistent at some parts, especially the ending. The ending of this level is fucking JACKED, though as is every other part as well. This level as a whole is very well balanced, and I legitimately have a difficult time coming to a conclusion as what the "hardest part" actually is. The level is split up into 4 parts, being 0-8%, 9-48%, 49-60%, and 61-100%. The predrop is for sure the easiest part, though it can still provide a challenge at the beginning of going from zero, as some clicks in the spider are a little awkward, and I'd even go as far as to say off sync at times. 9-48% is one of the harder sections of the level, though when I say "harder" when comparing two parts, at most it's a marginal difference. Certain parts of 9-48%, such as all of the wave parts, are absolutely BRUTAL to gain consistency, and both dual parts have certain clicks that can be a bit of a mystery as to why you die to them. 49-60% is a bit "easier" compared to the other parts, though some timings in this section caught me off guard a few times from zero, and it's always annoying to die here. 61-100% may genuinely be the hardest part of the level, but I believe this is where my bias is in full effect considering the amounts of times I died here. It's at this point in the level where it transitions from a "click-sync" level to a full on timing level. Timings in this part are so incredulously tight, it genuinely felt like the most non-luck based dice roll whenever I got here. The ending ship is also brutal as well, and it doesn't take itself lightly at all, even for a level that's back end heavy. The difficulty of the level is what brings down my enjoyment quite a fair bit, but I think it's for sure a welcome challenge to those who are willing to withstand some deaths in the latter half. There are numerous things that I am willing to compliment this level on, though. For starters, I think it looks absolutely FANTASTIC, and I firmly believe that Cirtrax is one of the better decorators that this game has seen. The effects are incredibly well executed, and though I couldn't beat it on high detail, just watching a video of this level on an LDM is still a treat to watch. The high detail is even better, too. The song is also absolutely fantastic, and though I don't listen to his music outside of this game too often anymore, this track is tied with Dark Tides as my favorite track of Creo's. I also think that, while this level is incredibly difficult, every single death is relatively fair. The only times I had questions as to why I was dying at a certain parts is when I experienced a death in the second dual (44-48%). When I died in any other part though, I would always be able to instantly identify what my cause of death was, and I find that super admirable in gameplay. Overall, the level itself is fantastic, though my personal experience was brought down by subpar luck and mindblocking.
