I started this level as a race between myself and 6 others back around the time when I got 87% on Spectrum Cyclone. Finally came back to this last night and finished in 3rd place. GG to zMarc (Winner) and Pushenka (2nd Place) on beating this before me!
Now about my experience with the level; it was not very good. Once the race started I played this for about 12 hours on the first day and 3 hours the next before deciding to stop playing it since I stopped finding it fun and I wanted to focus on Spectrum Cyclone. Once I came back to it, it only took me a couple more hours of playtime to beat it which I'm really thankful for.
Learning the level was quite fun; for the most part the 2nd half is pretty fun and was pretty easy to get down. Although the first half was mostly okay to learn, it was miserable playing from 0. It took a really long time to start gaining consistency at the predrop or 32-52%. Then it was at a point where sometimes I would get to the drop frequently or I would just never pass the first 25% and it was infuriating. It didn't help at all that whenever I would get to the drop I would usually die within the first second because the drop waves just felt like walls from 0. I have very different opinions for each part gameplay wise so I'll give each individual part my opinion.
Isane (0-3%) Actually a fine part. Really short and after you learn it you don't have any real problems passing it. B
PotatoBaby (3-10%) Really damn annoying. It was by far the worst part when it came to learning it and it took a while for it to start becoming more bearable. D-
Tob24 (12-21%) - First half of this part is fine but the straight fly in the ship is HORRIBLE, dying to the gear afterwards was always super annoying and the 2 green orbs in the cube are quite bad as well. D-
Duffz (21-32%) - Probably my least favorite part. The straight fly at the start is too tight for the level's sake and dying anywhere in it in general drove me insane, even more so whenever it would be at the pink and red orbs right before the drop. F
Escetity (33-41%) - The wave part felt like a wall from 0. Dying there was so common and so annoying to deal with. The rest of the part is fun but if you die to it anywhere past the wave it's one of the worst feelings in the world. C-
Reunomi (42-46%) - Again one of my least favorite parts. This too felt like a wall, but was a lot more annoying than Escetity. Wave transition deaths were so common and robot deaths made me lose my mind. F
Zafkiel (47-51%) - Completely fine part. If you're unlucky enough to die to it it sucks ass but it almost never happens. A-
Escetity (51-59%) 51-52% is garbage, but the rest of the part is fine. C
Unigeny (60-66%) - Really easy part and pretty fun as long as you don't die to it from 0. B+
Enixy (67-69%) - Can be annoying at times but usually it's fine. B-
Lieb (69-76%) - First 2 clicks are awful as well as the robot jumps. The rest of it is alright but it can be very annoying. C-
Majkomar (76-83%) - Easy part and very fun as well. A-
Helpegasus (83-91%) - This part always felt random. It doesn't feel like you should die to it much but deaths are oddly common at times which can make it very annoying. Otherwise it's okay. C
Spectex (91-98%) - The hardest part of the 2nd half for last and is very stupid for an ending. The ship shouldn't be as tight as it is and the 94 wave is bullshit. After 94 though it's fine and easy. D+
So yeah. All in all this wasn't very enjoyable for me in the end and I can't recommend it despite getting very lucky and only dying 5 times at the 2nd half (51%, 52%, 69%, 84%, 86%), which makes me sad because the deco in most parts is really cool and the song is nice as well. Despite my large attempt count, this is quite overrated in my opinion and should be a little bit above Bloodbath.
