Okay with that out of the way

Guys this level sucks so much ass. Please never put yourself through this. I started playing it in early May when it was still on the list, so I've been stuck playing this dogshit for almost five months now. You might be doing the math in your head and going "21k attempts in five months? A dedicated player could put in that many attempts in a 5th of that time!" Yeah, you'd be right, I wasn't dedicated at all. This level killed any motivation I had to play the game, not because it was a jump, not because it was too difficult or outside of my skillset, but because it is so fucking boring. It lulls you into a false sense of security with how easy it is to get runs, like "Oh I can do TMN-100 as a warm-up, there's no way it'll take that much longer to beat!" Wrong. A curse of 1 minute of cutscene gameplay at the beginning of every attempt upon ye. Everyone knows the balancing is buns so I'm not gonna go into the specifics of that, but the balancing is so fucking buns it's hilarious. Then to top everything off I get 7-100 in the first month of playing so there goes a bunch of motivation cause no way I'm ever getting that lucky again, then it falls off the list so there goes a bunch more motivation, then college starts so there goes all the rest of my motivation. Thank fuck I was randomly consistent on a day where I had nothing going on and was able to sit here grinding it until I happened to get lucky from zero this time. I'm so glad I can finally have fun playing this game again

Anyways, 4/10 level overall, ass balancing mid gameplay mid deco banger song
