If you told me that I would ever get to 10 of ToER any time before I started regrinding this, I would have genuinely laughed at you.
So here we are, the final stretch of the grind. Honestly I can say this has kinda been fun so far and I'm excited to finish it off. I saw that long flick strat used on someone's video and I was able to get it in practice pretty consistently but I guess I cracked under the stress in a real run and messed it up lol.
Hopefully I beat it sometime this week that would be pretty cool.
Past experience time: 40+ hours
Time during regrind: 5 hours practice, 6 hours real runs

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 its not like that at all. its 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, its quick, easy, and straight to the point. i also love that purple orb thing at the end its 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, theres 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 its not too bad. 8/10
- Garden - what people consider the hardest part to be, this part suffers the same as the ruins, but i dont 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 were ever gonna have.
now that this is done, it would be cool to have the entire top 10 rated platformers done so ill try that in due time. for now im probably gonna relax and do some easier levels to bump my moon count since its kinda lacking rn, ive only been doing extremes and insanes lol.

not gonna write much but this is probably one of the most frustrating towers ive ever beaten. the gameplay itself is not bad at all but the balancing makes this such a horrible grinding experience. floor 3 is one of the biggest difficulty spikes ive ever seen in my time playing towers, its such a roadblock and caused me so much trouble. theres also that one jump on 5 (4:47) thats like stupidly hard without lodging and lodging is kinda inconsistent. the later floors are pretty hard but theyre all hard so i was less annoyed by them. overall not a fun tower, i dont recommend this unless youre like mid horrific skill or higher and the difficulty spikes dont phase you. also raise this bro this is NOT tocr diff at all its way closer to tocp than it is to tocr.
i recorded a bunch of catas in this game and have yet to upload them, but they probably wont be public. i wanted this one to be public cuz i think its hard enough to warrant it. ill upload the other ones unlisted and put them in a playlist sometime.
enjoyment: 0/10
personal difficulty: high-peak cata at the least bro (11.85 but i could see higher)

absolute loss for words, the 2nd half is leagues easier than the first but not fluke worthy at all. i didnt have my clipping software on 5 minutes due to not expecting this fluke whatsoever so i have 0 proof that it was a fluke from 58 and as much as i hate the whole trust me bro thing thats all i really got. ill probably never get this lucky ever again lol.
regarding the level, its mid. there are 3 parts that are impossible and the rest is borderline free. i got much better at michi than i ever did at crack and then somehow fluked etzer so idfk. id recommend the level since youll definitely improve from it, but just be aware that its nowhere near one of the greatest levels despite its legacy.
new hardest since i did unearthed back in 2019, been going for omicron and made some progress but its really hard so i doubt im beating it anytime soon ðŸ˜
