this level is an absolute masterpiece from start to finish. learning and playing was an absolute blast even if there were times of sheer frustration. i thought at first that this was going to be like 22 trials of pain levels of annoying when i saw there were no checkpoints, but it's not like that at all. it's consistently fun to play, looks great throughout, and every section is super unique and interesting in their own ways. thoughts on each section:

- The Ascend - genuinely great starting part, it's quick, easy, and straight to the point. i also love that purple orb thing at the end it's super satisfying. 9/10
- Woodways - step up in difficulty, mainly just spike jumps but also oddly satisfying to do. 8/10
- The Ruins - might be a hot take, but this is the hardest part of the level for me. the corner spike jumps in this part felt much harder than any of the other ones, even the garden, and it took me a long time to get them down. most of this section is those kind of jumps though, so this one is gonna be lower than the others. 6.5/10
- Downtown - probably my favorite section in the level, there's so many good strategies to use and i always found this part fun. 10/10
- The Cliffside - not much to say here, but the boulder thing is pretty neat. the spam at the end is kinda annoying but it's not too bad. 8/10
- Garden - what people consider the hardest part to be, this part suffers the same as the ruins, but i don't mind this one as much as the ruins for some reason. 7/10
- Coral Climb - this part looked impossible to me when i first played it, but it actually turned out to be pretty consistent, fun, and i ended up fluking it. 8.5/10

in conclusion, this level is so great and if you have the skill for it, definitely give it a go. probably the best top 1 we're ever gonna have.

now that this is done, it would be cool to have the entire top 10 rated platformers done so i'll try that in due time. for now i'm probably gonna relax and do some easier levels to bump my moon count since it's kinda lacking rn, i've only been doing extremes and insanes lol.
