This level is super fun and consistent once you get it down. The predrop can be annoying before it gets consistent, but after a while you pass it every attempt, and from there on out its pure bliss. The entire drop section and everything else is such a blast to play, it's always consistent (except for that one part) and the gameplay itself is incredibly satisfying and makes you feel like you're good at the game for doing it well. My experience was slightly soured due to me having to beat it twice (fluking the last wave and then proceeding to die at 89% twice while trying to rebeat) but I still love the level regardless. The song is mostly fun to listen to while you're playing especially 55-100, and I haven't even mentioned the deco yet, which is why I say best NC level. To me, this looks like what Sonic Wave Infinity should have been. It feels way more refined and generally looks twice as good all around. It also has a super nice endscreen that's just as good as SWI's, and of course, its WAY more accessible. I got frustrated at times but it was rarely the level itself that was upsetting me. My own decision to absolutely throw every second wave attempt is what set me off the most, which is completely a skill issue. There are hard clicks, but I was consistently passing all of them and dying to the easy ones. I think the first wave is miles harder than the second wave, which is actually easier than the last wave in my opinion. The last wave has the added bonus of nerves, but overall just has harder gameplay. The last wave is composed of a few really hard clicks, whereas the second wave stays fairly balanced the whole way through. And of course, the first wave is the longest and also has the rooftop headhitting concussing spam that every sonic wave variant needs to have, coupled with the entire second half of that wave. But like I said, all of it gets consistent, especially when you're nearing your second completion. This might sound cliche but I was SHOCKED at how fast I beat this. In only a few hours, I was able to get 72% and 63-100, achieving two crossing runs on my first day playing. This was about 3,000 attempts in. The next day, I got 75% and then proceeded to fluke the entire last wave with crazy nerves, with my "final" attempt count being 4,192. Mind you, this level is in my top 10. Let's see how my other attempt counts compare in my top 10
1 - The Golden: 22,154
2 - Promethean: 13,500
3 - Cold Sweat: 23,938
4 - Crimson Planet: 24,681
5 - Cognition: 58,888
6 - Cosmic Cyclone: 4,192
7 - RUST: 13,105
8 - The Rupture: 13,672
9 - Bloodlust: if i had to guess probably like 40 or 50K
10 - Kowareta: 14,523
Yeah so you can kinda understand why I'm a little perplexed seeing as how Cosmic Cyclone is the only level in my Top 10 that took under 13,000 attempts, let alone 5K. With the rebeat, I did cross the 5K threshold, but even so, it's still a very low attempt count by my standards. Regardless, another extreme done, and I had a lot of fun with this one. I would totally recommend this to someone trying to improve their wave skill. It's fair in a way that you don't see with a whole lot of wave levels nowadays.
