Took me long enough to get to this. Having built a 1.9 GDPS level directly inspired by this all those years ago, having beaten Balengu Vortex back in 2021, it felt inevitable that I would need to do this at some point. I do suppose though that I'm not that surprised that I stalled on it for so long, since to be honest, I don't find it all that enjoyable to play. There were a couple of times years ago that I would learn about half of it and then give up and move on to something else. Returning to it recently was actually decent for the first couple of hours. I got 38-100% very quickly, but not long after that it became much worse to play. The predrop on its own is generally fine, though it has its moments where it can get annoying. The first wave, however, was what ruined it for me. It isn't the hardest part of the level, but for whatever reason, I just wouldn't get very consistent at it. Nothing in particular stood out as too hard about it but everything was just chokeable enough to where I would die all over the place and it got so annoying. Following that, the first part of the second wave had far and away the worst chokepoints of the level. I loathed 47%, 50%, and especially 61%. These parts are just so much harder than the rest of the level, and I died so many times elsewhere in the 50s that it made my experience much worse. After 61%, the level becomes very reasonable to fluke, but again, I didn't have a good time with it from 0. Each death I had this far in was pretty spread out from the others, and to make matters worse so much of it could've been avoided if I just didn't choke at 87%. So, not a very good experience for me, and all I can really take away from it is just, go play Balengu Vortex instead.
also pay no mind to my other saved levels lol
