This has to one of the craziest completions I've ever had. Getting to the dual ships at the end and botching it as hard as I did, and managing to save it somehow. It's unfortunate that I got a recording bug at 3:56, much like my Ocular Miracle completion, but it is what it is.
Also, similarly to Ocular Miracle, this level is unbelievable. I feel like I'm going crazy by having my favorite level change several times in the past 9 months or so, but when creators master the 2.2 editor, the results that come from it are astonishing. It might seem intimidating to go for due to the 7 minute runtime, but it's borderline flawless the whole way through. I never had a dull moment playing it, even with the slower sections it has. The gameplay is so well paced throughout, and utilizes some interesting ideas. Each good attempt I had, whether practicing or from 0, had a feeling of intensity to it that I've never felt on another level, in the best way possible. The peaks this level reaches to about halfway through and at the ending section was such a joy to experience, and it never got old to me. The level's visuals masterfully walk the line between a sense of realism and detail while also feeling like a GD level and not going overboard. Its thematic progression is so well done, it felt like I was ascending out of this world playing it and reaching the end. There's just so many things about the level I couldn't stop singing praises about, and though there are a couple of nitpicks I have with it, that won't stop this from being one of my favorite levels ever.
Speaking of those nitpicks, it is important to note when going for this that the level's difficulty is heavily concentrated towards the middle, with the 50s (3:42-4:22) being far and away the hardest part of the level. It wasn't a major problem for me with enough practice, but for anyone considering beating this as a new hardest, it might be different. The very first part of the level also has a handful of auto blue pads in it, which it's somewhat common to fall out of them or have one launch you into a spike which is unfortunate, but it's easy to adapt to them and sometimes they won't kill you anyway. Last thing I could mention is the orb at 65% (4:44). It randomizes between a black orb and a red orb, which threw me off a lot, including once from 0%. Neither scenario is hard enough to where it felt like a real issue, but just a creative choice that I don't think makes the level any better to play. But still, these things were super minor for my experience, and just something I thought I should bring up regardless.
So to wrap it up, this level deserves every bit of attention it's getting, and I look forward to when it's inevitably rated very soon. It's a stunning level in all aspects, and an experience that will stick with me for whatever time left that I spend playing this game. Whether it's to casually play through for the fun of it, or to go for a new completion, I could not recommend this enough to anybody. It's a masterpiece.
