i wanna start this off by saying that this level visually is one of my favourite levels in the game. i adore the progression and song. this level kind of just feels magical in a way and i love it. the base gameplay is very good and every part is very satisfying to do. the mirror part was very hard to learn at first but once i knew how to play it the part was unbelievably satisfying to pull off. the first part was weird at first but i thought it was quite cool to learn how it works.
the problem with this level is the balancing. this level has some of the absolute worst balancing of any level i have played. if 16-44 was easier, this level would not even be top 100 worthy. instead i found this to be harder than cognition. this part entirely carried the level and as a result made the level incredibly frustrating to play from 0. a lot of parts just straight up felt luck based. this overall combined with my overall not very good luck made every session from 0 just feel very hopeless, like i was just playing with my mind turned off hoping for something to happen. overall i just wish this level was playtested better, it was so close to being perfect, but the horrible balancing as well as a few bugs and inconsistencies made this very unfun to play after a while.
