In hindsight this is less of a review and more of a rant and/or a long compilation of text about my personal experience with this level
So recently I beat acu by neigefeu. I have been attempting this level for about a month now and I just beat it recently. I would like to point out a few things from my experience with the level that may or may not make you want to pick up or stay away from this level.
Part 1: the decoration
The decoration in acu is interesting to say the least. It seems very nice and colorful to look at and is very inviting and seems friendly when practicing the level. But in reality it's quite the opposite- because of the difficulty of the level you will definitely spend more than a few attempts playing this level and after 2k att or so not only will the decoration and color be bland and boring to you, but it may end up hurting your eyes just looking at it. From my personal experience at around the 5k mark I was experiencing eye pain that only let me play for around 30 minutes a day or 100 att or so before the pain was making it unplayable. I'm not saying this will happen to everyone, maybe I'm just a special case but this is just my experience. I also was grinding this level a lot and I was on my computer 24/7 because of the quarantine which also may have caused this issue.
Nonetheless I recommend playing this level if you are sure your eyes are healthy and you know you can beat this level relatively quickly.
Part 2: the gameplay
The gameplay was.... unique, which made for some mixed opinions on my end. Some of the experimental gameplay led to awkward timings and some led to cool level design. The slower parts (namely the beginning section 0-26) were frustrating to master and even more frustrating to att the level from 0 on. While there are good qualities in the gameplay like the uniqueness and sync to the level, the gameplay in practice was a nightmare to complete. While I did find some parts of the drop enjoyable there were some parts that were frustratingly inconsistent, for example the wave part at 27% isnt very intuitive and is 1quite frustrating to play. While it can feel satisfying to actually beat that part, all the times you fail on it dont feel so good and it feels as if you were robbed of an attempt
Part 3: The Conclusion
While beating the level I was very frustrated, probably because the level was a bit out of my skill range and my hardest by far, but overall the level isnt that bad. I wouldn't suggest beating this as a first or even 10th extreme demon, but I definitely would recommend this to a higher skill level player. The concept and the execution of the level is very cool and different and honestly I have very mixed feelings about this level
P.s. forgot to mention I couldnt find any bugs or glitches in the level which is cool, yeah ig
My statistical verdict:
Enjoyabilty: mixed feelings/10
Difficulty: 6/10 (10 being like zodiac level or smth idk)
Design: 5/10
Attempts: 10,049
Video proof is in my previous post
