[@karmah_star8986]

This level is such a hit or miss on normal. Neither you struggled a lot or you breezed through it. Hardcore is hard no matter how u put it, even with the cheese at the beginning

[@heckloaf]

@mattmonste which part are you talking about exactly?

[@goldenpawstrikes4832]

This just HAS to be my favorite song not just on this album, but on the WHOLE JSAB SOUNDTRACK. So many things right with this song, I love it, and this will be played at my funeral. (jk, that would be weird, but that's how much I love this!) keep up the great work, BGC. Can't wait to see(or hear) what you come up with next!

[@pancakeloo123]

I honestly think this level is perfect for jsab at 1:36 I really get the feeling that the pink or whatever you call it truly wants to hurt and kill you and thank you biggiantcircles for making this song and to berserk for having a great taste in music

[@ultraxenith]

Easter eggs: 1:26 - Super Mario jump sound. 1:31 - Super Mario collecting a key. 1:35 - Nether Portal teleportation sound in Minecraft. 1:36 - Super Mario entering a Warp Pipe. 3:16 - Super Mario death sound. 3:20 - Nether Portal teleportation sound in Minecraft. And the final one: The whole music - *JUST SHAPES & BEATS*

[@BigGiantCircles]

Indeed! Though actually there aren't any references to the nether portals. Those are just reversed explosion sfx which happen to sound similar-ish to the ones that C418 used for the portals.

[@ultraxenith]
