DISCORD: https://discord.gg/K8CEmAw
Ive played most of XdMaNIaCs levels, and from what Ive seen, Get Real is definitely their best work. Get Real utilizes many different styles throughout, ranging from realistic art to more abstract designs. I really appreciate the specific designs for each section. For instance, the first part with all of the doors is very cleanly made, and the way the section fades in and out gives a dreamy atmosphere to the level. This dreamy and vast atmosphere is also carried throughout the entire level, which helps bring every part together. I also like the attention to music sync. Not only does the gameplay sync well with the music, but designs throughout the level also follow along such as the clock in the second part which pulses and turns to the music. Another detail I really like is how the clock moves clockwise in the first spider section, but once the player moves through the mirror portal, the clock moves counterclockwise. While there is quite a bit of attention to detail, the level does feel quite disjointed at times. For example, the realistic-looking first parts transition to the more design-based second part is quite jarring, and there is not much attaching them together. Perhaps a different transition could be used signifying the change of style rather than just a black and white transition. Nonetheless, this level was very enjoyable to play, and I am looking forward to seeing XdMaNIaCs work continue to improve in future levels.

DISCORD: https://discord.gg/K8CEmAw
Vector By Cirtrax is a level that brings out some old Atari arcade classics and mashes them together in a both nostalgic and simplistic compilation. Throughout the level, there are unique design elements that really bring out character, and I was surprised at how well these designs were done. For example, the ship from the Atari game Asteroids at the beginning breaking the rocks in front of the player to allow the player to get through was a really neat touch. Other references to Atari games are present in nearly every single design in the level, and the amount of these that are presented are quite astounding. It is notable to mention that all of these designs were done in an extremely simplistic fashion: most of the blocks were done completely in a wireframe design. While Im not a huge fan of simplistic designs, I must admit that the designs throughout the level - despite being simple - were still able to create an interesting and captivating atmosphere. While I believe the overall level is excellent, I believe its downside is its length, which is only 52 seconds. I believe the level was definitely enjoyable for the length that it was, but it certainly could have been expanded with more ideas and references to other Atari games. Overall, Vector By Cirtrax is an enjoyable and clean level, but it does suffer from its extremely short length.

DISCORD: https://discord.gg/K8CEmAw
Powder is a fairly typical modernistic/glow hybrid level made by Xatz and Vitrial within a time span of 20 hours. Although it is mostly typical, it does have some respectable unique aspects. For example, starting at 38%, the level includes a section of reasonably simple block designs with a spectacular leaf/vine effect surrounding the blocks, which really gives the level character. Furthermore, this section also has massive gears in the transitions which both are very clean and work very well with the song. After this part, the level begins to present more ordinary designs than the previous part offers. Despite this, these parts are executed quite well and are very clean and smooth. For example, the square background animation done at 72% both fits with the surrounding designs and pulses to the song. In regards to the song, there are notably bright colors that are used throughout the level, which makes an interesting combination with the dreamy song choice of Slow Down by Creo. While the entire level is bright and clean, I believe the biggest downside to this level is the lack of theming that the level presents. While some individual designs in each part are often amazing, each part doesnt really fit well together with other parts. Overall, I believe this is a well-made level with some excellent designs, but it suffers from a lack of theme that ties the entire level together.
