As we are getting closer to Halloween, HotGarbage64 and Pncsr have worked together to make something silly and scary! Since it's a collab, I will split this feedback into sections, each one talking about a different part.

The first part is a great introduction to the level. The TV screen vibe here and the color scheme work with the song. There is a lot of variety as well, thanks to the creatures that are also present in the structures. This makes the part feel less copy-pasted and empty despite the simplicity of some aspects. The only nitpick I can think of is the background, which feels a bit bland in comparison to everything else.

The next part is a nice shift from the previous one with the song slowly building up. I don't know if I had too high of an expectation, but it feels underdeveloped. I'm not saying that the part looks bad, there seems to be a lack of energy though. For example, the pulses and the movement are too gentle in comparison to the song's intensity and there could have been more done in terms of details.

The section that follows feels off for a few reasons. It seems as if the ideas were there, but they just did not work together in the end. Although I can appreciate the experimental approach and the creatures, it lacks cohesion.

The last part of the predrop is pretty interesting, and it somewhat reminded me of the one castle part in Skeletal Shenanigans with the parallax and moon background. The copy-paste is a bit too obvious here, but it serves as a good transition into the drop.

Now, at first I was quite excited to see what the drop part had to offer, but sadly I felt underwhelmed mainly because of how short it was. The cut was so abrupt that I thought it was going to switch again, but it did not. What I really like about this part, though, is the usage of previous backgrounds, including the moon and the spiral. The switch between black and orange with the icon was a nice touch as well, and the creature clubstep monster is neatly done. Again, though, there could have been done more in terms of movement and effects to make the intensity better.

I know that the feedback I had given may sound harsh, but I felt a bit of a disappointment knowing what these two creators are capable of doing. It is still a solid level overall. I just wish the potential that was there was fully discovered. An in-game feature rating is deserved nonetheless, and I hope to see more of this duo with even bigger projects!
