I think bussin is kinda funny, charming and technically impressive with creative obstacles, but also putting a level built entirely around stupid memes that will realistically stop being funny and be forgotten anywhere between a week to a year from now in an official piece of content from the game that will stay in the game forever is kinda dumb and will almost definitely age really badly
I think BER ZER KER won just because that's what the NCS level would look like. There is a reference to the monster from the song monster and this level looks like the most similar NCS level and that's good.
As a person who has beaten the top 10 winners, I can say some gp opinions on them all. 10: Everything about The Incinerator is fun except the dual at the end 9: Neozenith LOOKS good, but the beat surfer part is actually not very good gp wise since you have to make sudden movements with reversing gp right before and since it's very hard to tell whether you are upside down or not, the transitions between gravities can throw you off very easily. 8: Quebrantar is very fun once you learn it, however some transitions can throw you off a lot so it's not perfect, but it is pretty good. 7: Bussin' is actually the most fun level in the gauntlet and you can't tell me otherwise (I love synced gp lol) 6: Slasher is very fun apart from the sideways part, which you can just tilt your head (which is what I did, lol) and it should be fine, although there are two green orbs in the ship after the sideways part that killed me 3 times for some reason, so that was meh, but other than that it was perfectly average. 5: I See Stars. The music gets off sync towards the end. It feels like a part is missing and ended where it did because they ran out of time. It just feels unfinished. 4: Wannacry is actually really fun once you learn what to do and where. The first part is, for some reason, really simple to learn and it got consistent pretty quickly. The only really weird part is the swing part after mini cube in the beginning, but you can just triple click to make it more consistent and make it easier to set up to go upwards to the next turn around point. 3: Magistro is actually not fun to play. Like at all. The camera effects make it completely unsightreadable in any way shape or form. The only way to play this level is to use the ULDM which wouldn't have to be required to see where you are going. 2: Next Cab Soon's gameplay is very weird in the beginning, however just a little practice and it is very good and fun to play. 1: Ber Zer Ker is actually the most "feels like it was rushed" level ever. Some parts are barely a 2 star, while others would fit right into an easy or even medium demon with how unsightreadable and unnecessarily hard they are because of that. Every part after the big city ncs monster part until the last ship part is completely impossible to sightread and the fact that it's a 9 star makes dying far into the level not feel like it's your fault since every part before is INCREDIBLY easy. The difficulty goes from 2/10 to 8/10 back down to a 1/10 which is not very fun to play. Anyway, rant over lol.
Everyone tends to forget one think about Ber Zer Ker It almost does not blend gameplay and deco As if it's just a random unrelated generic on top of an auto level Levels like Magistro, Metamorphosis, Next Cab Soon, wannacry, they do blend gameplay and deco This level doesn't even try except for maybe two segments (asteroids and the building)
I agree with most of the points that you've made. I personally think that MAGISTRO is a lot better off than a lot of the levels in top 10 (Certainly better than Ber Zer Ker, geez). It is pretty learny, but you can get consistent with it. Sight-readability is in the gutter though, but why would you want to sightread a medium demon?
i beat the ncs 1 gauntelt and i agree with all your points (for the ncs 1 levels, idk about ncs 2 cuz im not good enough to beat them), the synced gp in bussin made it so fun and satisfying to beat, ber zer ker was cool, but it was super unbalanced, quebrantar seems hard but gets consistent, similar to next cab soon , and the incinerators gameplay is probably one of the best in all of the top 10
sightreading slasher is actually pretty easy tbh, the vertical part is pretty much all buffers except for that 1 ufo click after the blue orb which has to be a little delayed i see stars ship part isn't too bad either since orbs have a very large hitbox, still can really screw you without practice
My top 10 of the contest(imo): 10. Incinerator 9. Bussin 8. Slasher 7. Quebrentrar (if thats how you spell it) 6. Next Cab Soon 5. I See Stars 3. Magistro 2. Metamorphosis 1. Wannacry I dont think that Neozenith shouldve been in the gauntlet since it has pretty unbalanced gameplay, and i like all of these levels better. I would probably put it at 11.
Also, a lot of people hate Wannacry because it has bad gameplay, but in my opinion, the gameplay is really good. Once you learn the level, it becomes really fun.
@@user-yt7dq6zo9l The only thing i don't like about the lvl is the effects all over the screen (talking mostly about the wave part) other then that, i don't mind the gp at all and it feels consistent to play. Im just not fan of things making the gp hard to see.
Imo i definitely think levels like exotic soul and metamorphosis shouls have drastically made it higher than they did kirila's style is so unique to anything ive seen in gd im suprised he didnt get into the top 10, and metamorphosis speaks for itself i think, the incinirator is good, but i feel exotic soul is more original, i think it shouldve took the 10th spot at least
guys stop confusing metamorphosis as in top it lost to its gameplay sight readabilty, its not all about decoration but gameplay, sightreadability, flow, and based how fun it is 😭
@@cat666wang in terms of flow of the level is great and decoration based on ncs the most, sightreadability is pretty good how fun it is some may vary on what type of person you are but mostly the gameplay is pretty fun
Metamorphosis should've placed imo. The gameplay isn't even that bad, and I personally had a fun time playing it. I obviously can't speak for everyone, but it absolutely was robbed.
@xenon9717 there's literally no proper criteria in the ncs contest. The only level that deserves its placing is Next cab soon which has both good gameplay and deco.
I guess everyone is writing opinions now... I've beaten all the levels in top 20, so I think my input is probably valid. 10th: Incinerator is fun, duals are pretty cool, solid level. Agree, I don't think it should've placed top 10, other levels seem better to me. 9th: Neozenith is a pretty cool level and the visuals are great. However, don't think it should've placed due to the gameplay being really unbalanced, up to the point where it needed a nerf. 8th: Gameplay in Quebrantar is decent, visuals are pretty good, transitions go crazy. I think it's good as is. 7th: BUSSIN is frickin hilarious, but it does in fact look amazing visually. I think it's good as is, but I wouldn't argue if it was placed lower. 6th: Slasher is pretty good, the gameplay is good, the visuals are amazing. I've actually sightread the vertical part, it's not as hard as it seems since each click is a buffer. Theming is amazing, you're literally going through the nine circles (haha) of hell. I think it should've been higher. 5th: I See Stars iss a pretty good level. It's definitely a lot more cleaner than Incinerator and Ber Zer Ker. The 3 minutes length is crazy, but it should've been higher. 4th: WANNACRY is a very intimidating level, but it gets REALLY consistent. Visuals go absolutely crazy. I think it's good as is. 3rd: MAGISTRO is astonishing, it is absolutely amazing, the gameplay and the visuals are breathtaking (literally pause any point and it would probably be a fire background). It ABSOLUTELY should've placed higher if not first. 2nd: I don't get the hype with Next Cab Soon (in fact, I don't even think it should be Mythic rated). It's a good level, don't get me wrong, but I think it's a bit overrated. It should be placed lower. 1st: Ber Zer Ker is...a level. The first half of the level is amazing, but it falls off HARD. Pretty rushed, should've be placed WAY lower. Some other opinions while I'm here: 11th: Metamorphosis was absolutely robbed. This should've placed top 5 if not top 3 imo (It's not even that laggy). 13th: Exotic Soul should've probably placed. The gameplay is pretty wonky, and the visuals are equally wacky, but it's VERY unique. 14th: Own Display is an absolute fire level. I love how the level constantly switches between 2d and 3d visuals, it feels a lot like Bli's Rage Quit. 17th: Wonderbop is such a good level. I think it's good where it is, but I absolutely loved playing it. 18th: Electric Algal Bloom probably has some of the best gameplay in the entire gauntlet. The visuals aren't good enough to make the level top 10 unfortunately.
ill testify as someone who beat wanna cry as her 2nd medium demon in my many years of playing the game WANNACRY is so fun its just a little learny, and there's one annoying click in the ufo. it took me 2 days to beat
My ranking of these 10 levels (I've beat all of them) 10. Slasher by Whirl is a fairly fun expirience and definetly one of Whirl's best works, but I feel like its visual style is alot more generic and lacks as much creativity as the others. (7.5/10) 9. Quebrantar by Debihan is a very clean and visually stunning level, though I do believe most of the others visual style is nicer or more creative. This level can get a bit boring at times, and some of the gameplay is weird, but all in all its a pretty good level and deservant of legendary. (7.5/10) 8. Neozenith by F5night has some of the most creative camera controls and object design in the entire contest, along with it's own custom minigame which gets fairly consistent to play. Some of the designs are a little samey though, and it is pretty unbalanced. (8/10) 7. The Incinerator by Vegtam sets up an incredibly cool story with stunning visuals and pretty fun gameplay. There's really not much to say other than that. (8/10) 6. Bussin' by Connot has a unique display of some incredibly creative designs that are showcased throughout the level, along with having some pretty solid gameplay. There are other levels on the list that are much better, though. (8.5/10) 5. Next Cab Soon by Geogamer 12 is probably the cleanest and sleekest looking level in the competition. The gameplay is consistent and fun to learn, but I do think the modern design lacks some atmosphere, knocking it down a bit. (9/10) 4. I See Stars is personally my favorite level in the competition with it's sleek, cosmic atmosphere and super fun gameplay, but I do believe there are levels that deserve to be higher. (10/10) 3. Magistro is in my opinion the best looking level in the competition with a crazy good atmosphere, but it does lack some decent gameplay. (9.5/10) 2. WANNACRY has possibly the coolest atmosphere in this list, along with gameplay that is incredibly fun to learn (if yall actually took the time to learn it) (9.5/10) 1. i think the fact that ppl hated this level so much just caus it got first made me actually start to like it even more, leading to my placement of this level staying in first. Ber Zer Ker by Grax 100% deserved 1st place as it probably has the best unique style along with an atmosphere and design that relates directly to NCS. A lot of people say the level starts off strong but gets worse as it goes on, and while I can see what they mean I personally think the background details in the second half have qualities that make up for the foreground's design absence. honestly i just think this level is so cool and its funny to me how mad ppl got that a genuinely good level got first lmao. Incredible work by grax, 10/10 level deserved the win fs
Shouldve been top 10: 10. Bussin (It's brainrot but it's still good) 9. I see Stars (It's clean but thats it, some parts had a cheap design tbh) 8. Quebrantar 7. Own Display (Underrated) 6. Osiris (Why was this not rated) 5. Wannacry 4. Berzerker (Represents NCS very well, it probably won because of that) 3. Next Cab Soon (Not a big fan of the artstyle) 2. Metamorphosis (interchangeable with magistro tbh) 1. Magistro Removed: The Incenerator = Good but doesnt do anything new Slasher = Nothing really caught my eye in this level except that goofy scream at the end 😭 Neozenith = It's good but the surf part kinda goes on for too long + not enjoyable Nice video btw hope your channel gets bigger!!
Ah, someone that agrees that Own Display should've placed, noice. Also, I've never heard of Osiris until I read this, damn it looks great. The gameplay isn't that good, but Top 10 is definitely feasible.
10:43 the goats’ part 🔥🔥🔥 btw, no matter the placements of the lvls tho, i think this contest was rlly great for the game’s creating scene and i’m glad to have been a part of it :) there were some questionable decisions ofc but i’m glad this rounded what the community had to offer in a big event like this. very fun to see the discussion around stuff like this. also i’m getting mone 🤑
Enjoy your mone, king, don't listen to this Magistro supremacist........... (After the reactions we both argued about Magistro vs Next Cab Soon for the rest of the stream and then we started calling others slurs like Maggie and Cabbie it was awesome)
Honestly, i liked alot of these levels, some more from a visual standpoint some more from a GP standpoint, Wannacry is by far my favourite tho, even tho the beginning part looks weird since depth perception is a little off, the level plays incredibly fun and you can quickly get consistent at the first part. It also feels like it deserves its mythic rating for a very cool and unique style and ofc its one of the few medium demons here that feels like it deserves this difficulty rating For magistro i am ngl, i loved the level visually when i saw it on nexus channel, but the gameplay starting at the UFO is partially so ass, you have to memorise what to do because your cube is so far on the right that you can NEVER tell whats going on. I like the dragon chase sequence tho especially the ship part which looks crazy but is actually very consistent. Its fine I am personally not a big fan of the style of next cab soon, but its so clearly the best level here that its laughable that anything beat it tbh. But besides next cab soon not winning, i feel like metamorphosis was just so much better than most of the levels here that its also laughable. Metamorphosis was honestly completely robbed. Its another medium Demon, its probably on the easy side of medium demons (or should just be easy demon) but it has great synch, super fun gameplay, very unique style with the norse(?) mythology stuff and it gets mega consistent. I am not on low end devices on mobile so i cant talk much about performance, but i heard its more optimised than magistro too. Not only do i think this could have been a mythic if Ber zer ker deserves a mythic, but it definitely should have been top 3 seeing how other levels made it into the top 10. (also i really like Bussin fuck you guys its super fun to play!)
I mean everyone just focus on how beautiful the level is to rank but forgot that this is “NCS theme gauntlet”. Sometimes it needs to feel like you listening to NCS song and BER ZER KER made me feel like that. So I have no argument for no.1 spot but Metamorphis in 11 tho….
@@ianteberovira8097 i never said berserker should also be top 3 I just said these 3 all shouldnt be either 🤷 Plus for metamorphosis you need a nasa computer to play it with more then 22 fps
Magistro's 3rd spot (instead of 1st) is deserved in my opinion because it plays horribly. Sometimes because of the camera controls your icon is on the right side of the screen and you can't see anything. Wannacry for exemple is more learny but more fair i believe (wannacry was a blast to play i freaking love this level).
@@lebenet548 Yea just saw the whole level and I'm extremely surprised that it didn't even get top 3. Easily one of the best looking levels out the contest
Here's my opinion on each level... The Incinerator: I'm a sucker for Xender Game bossfight levels, and this one is also quite fun with an actually interesting dual, by Easy Demon standards, so I'm a massive fan of this. Neozenith: This level is cool, but it doesn't really play the best. Probably shouldn't have made it in, imo, although I do like F5Night levels. Quebrantar: I don’t feel anything towards this level personally, it looks cool, I guess, and plays perfectly fine. It also seems others really like it, so I'm not gonna step on that. Bussin: Funny level, but I'm not the biggest fan of the gameplay and it can be a bit too flashy in some parts. Not bad, but probably my least favorite of the first NCS gauntlet. Slasher: The gameplay is awful, and the deco is fine. Not a fan of this one. I See Stars: Same opinion as Quebeantar. Doesn't speak to me, but it does play well. WannaCry: Please for the love of god add some sort of photo epilepsy mode to this. I'm not even epileptic, and this hurt my eyes. I'm mixed on the gameplay, because of how flashy some parts are it's really hard to see the gameplay. The actual gameplay is fine, and kinda fun. However, there are some parts where it is unclear what to do or what happens. I honestly found the level very frustrating, but it's not that bad. Overall, should not be in the gauntlets until something is done about the flashiness, if there was though, then completely deserved and it looks really sick. Magistro: Worst one of the gauntlet. Looks really cool, I can't deny that. However, it plays so awfully. I genuinely don’t care if the decoration is suoer cool, the level is meant to be played first. Get this level out, it's so awful. I should mention, if the gameplay was even remotely good, I would like this level. My least favorite one. Next Cab Soon: This level is just cool and I like the idea behind the coin even if it could've been executed better. Ber Zer Ker: I'm also a Grax enjoyer. I think TRANSTELLAR looks sick, and the gameplay is serviceable. EXG is my third favorite Insane Demon. Broken Signal is also cool, maybe I'll get to play some day. This level is also really sick. I enjoy how it looks and the spectacle of the level too. I also found the level quite fun too. Maybe not derserving of first place, but still awesome.

Pin of shame

True there is no way bro is saying broken signal is better then berserker

@@SageGolem nah, Magistro is optimised far worse than Metamorphosis
ULDM in Magistro was added far later

The duality of man:
"Bussin is a banger level"
"Bussin shouldn't have even been 20th"
Both can be true at once, there were so many banger levels in this contest it was always going to generate controversy
I think bussin is kinda funny, charming and technically impressive with creative obstacles, but also putting a level built entirely around stupid memes that will realistically stop being funny and be forgotten anywhere between a week to a year from now in an official piece of content from the game that will stay in the game forever is kinda dumb and will almost definitely age really badly

I didn't mention in the video but my opinions did not change after playing the levels, if it did I would've mentioned it
Bro berserker is so good how could you say broken signal is better@@itsthezimmy
I think BER ZER KER won just because that's what the NCS level would look like. There is a reference to the monster from the song monster and this level looks like the most similar NCS level and that's good.
but the lvl itself kinda sucks (to be top 1) and the gp... is not that fun tbh

I 1000% agree with you. For me your opinions are like exactly how I think. Great video btw!
AMAZING EDITING! also magistro's gameplay is the best on the list once you practice it, definitely the best level.
Best song as well.
As a person who has beaten the top 10 winners, I can say some gp opinions on them all.
10: Everything about The Incinerator is fun except the dual at the end
9: Neozenith LOOKS good, but the beat surfer part is actually not very good gp wise since you have to make sudden movements with reversing gp right before and since it's very hard to tell whether you are upside down or not, the transitions between gravities can throw you off very easily.

6. Bussin' by Connot has a unique display of some incredibly creative designs that are showcased throughout the level, along with having some pretty solid gameplay. There are other levels on the list that are much better, though. (8.5/10)
5. Next Cab Soon by Geogamer 12 is probably the cleanest and sleekest looking level in the competition. The gameplay is consistent and fun to learn, but I do think the modern design lacks some atmosphere, knocking it down a bit. (9/10)
4. I See Stars is personally my favorite level in the competition with it's sleek, cosmic atmosphere and super fun gameplay, but I do believe there are levels that deserve to be higher. (10/10)
3. Magistro is in my opinion the best looking level in the competition with a crazy good atmosphere, but it does lack some decent gameplay. (9.5/10)
2. WANNACRY has possibly the coolest atmosphere in this list, along with gameplay that is incredibly fun to learn (if yall actually took the time to learn it) (9.5/10)
1. i think the fact that ppl hated this level so much just caus it got first made me actually start to like it even more, leading to my placement of this level staying in first. Ber Zer Ker by Grax 100% deserved 1st place as it probably has the best unique style along with an atmosphere and design that relates directly to NCS. A lot of people say the level starts off strong but gets worse as it goes on, and while I can see what they mean I personally think the background details in the second half have qualities that make up for the foreground's design absence. honestly i just think this level is so cool and its funny to me how mad ppl got that a genuinely good level got first lmao. Incredible work by grax, 10/10 level deserved the win fs
Shouldve been top 10:
10. Bussin (It's brainrot but it's still good)
9. I see Stars (It's clean but thats it, some parts had a cheap design tbh)
8. Quebrantar
7. Own Display (Underrated)
6. Osiris (Why was this not rated)
5. Wannacry
4. Berzerker (Represents NCS very well, it probably won because of that)
3. Next Cab Soon (Not a big fan of the artstyle)
2. Metamorphosis (interchangeable with magistro tbh)
1. Magistro
Removed:
The Incenerator = Good but doesnt do anything new
Slasher = Nothing really caught my eye in this level except that goofy scream at the end 😭
Neozenith = It's good but the surf part kinda goes on for too long + not enjoyable
Nice video btw hope your channel gets bigger!!
I think the reason Own Display didn't get into the gauntlet is because on iOS it has the filter glitch that covers the whole screen.
@@OrangeAsh ohh that makes sense
@@karane.4423 If you're curious, Rage Quit by Bli has it too.
Ah, someone that agrees that Own Display should've placed, noice.
Also, I've never heard of Osiris until I read this, damn it looks great. The gameplay isn't that good, but Top 10 is definitely feasible.
yo i actually love this editing so much and the video was really enjoyable keep it up, really well made video!
10:43 the goats’ part 🔥🔥🔥
btw, no matter the placements of the lvls tho, i think this contest was rlly great for the game’s creating scene and i’m glad to have been a part of it :)
there were some questionable decisions ofc but i’m glad this rounded what the community had to offer in a big event like this. very fun to see the discussion around stuff like this. also i’m getting mone 🤑
Enjoy your mone, king, don't listen to this Magistro supremacist...........
(After the reactions we both argued about Magistro vs Next Cab Soon for the rest of the stream and then we started calling others slurs like Maggie and Cabbie it was awesome)
@@asri3l maggies quaking in their boots rn
@@kazeykazey yesssssss CABBIES WILL TRIUMPH OVER THE MAGGIES !!!
Own display is underrated tbh
another incredible video
Honestly, i liked alot of these levels, some more from a visual standpoint some more from a GP standpoint, Wannacry is by far my favourite tho, even tho the beginning part looks weird since depth perception is a little off, the level plays incredibly fun and you can quickly get consistent at the first part.
It also feels like it deserves its mythic rating for a very cool and unique style and ofc its one of the few medium demons here that feels like it deserves this difficulty rating
For magistro i am ngl, i loved the level visually when i saw it on nexus channel, but the gameplay starting at the UFO is partially so ass, you have to memorise what to do because your cube is so far on the right that you can NEVER tell whats going on. I like the dragon chase sequence tho especially the ship part which looks crazy but is actually very consistent. Its fine
I am personally not a big fan of the style of next cab soon, but its so clearly the best level here that its laughable that anything beat it tbh. But besides next cab soon not winning, i feel like metamorphosis was just so much better than most of the levels here that its also laughable.
Metamorphosis was honestly completely robbed. Its another medium Demon, its probably on the easy side of medium demons (or should just be easy demon) but it has great synch, super fun gameplay, very unique style with the norse(?) mythology stuff and it gets mega consistent. I am not on low end devices on mobile so i cant talk much about performance, but i heard its more optimised than magistro too. Not only do i think this could have been a mythic if Ber zer ker deserves a mythic, but it definitely should have been top 3 seeing how other levels made it into the top 10.
(also i really like Bussin fuck you guys its super fun to play!)
Your underrated 🎉
I love small GD youtubers
lets goo rentahitman is here 🗣️🗣️
Great vid
I mean everyone just focus on how beautiful the level is to rank but forgot that this is “NCS theme gauntlet”. Sometimes it needs to feel like you listening to NCS song and BER ZER KER made me feel like that. So I have no argument for no.1 spot but Metamorphis in 11 tho….
11:29 lutetia gameplay is great tho, just learny
1st: Metamorphosis
2nd: Magistro
3rd: Quebrantar
imo
Theyre great to watch but they sadly all play like shit so i think thats why theyre not top 3, gameplay is really important
@romaingrenier3424 yeah sure so ber zer ker has better gp? cuz i dont think so
@@ianteberovira8097 i never said berserker should also be top 3
I just said these 3 all shouldnt be either 🤷
Plus for metamorphosis you need a nasa computer to play it with more then 22 fps
really underrated channel lol
HOW DID I GET A HEART ALREADY ITS BEEN LIKE 5 SECONDS IM NOT EVEN 4 MINS INTO THE VID AAA
I am always watching or listening, or both
yeah there actually is a storty for 10th place
MAGISTRO 1 id die to play it better than siblings
yipie i got hearted
why do you not have more subscribers yet wtf
magistro NUMBER 11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111
i meant number 1 I just wanted to put more emphisis on 1
Magistro's 3rd spot (instead of 1st) is deserved in my opinion because it plays horribly. Sometimes because of the camera controls your icon is on the right side of the screen and you can't see anything. Wannacry for exemple is more learny but more fair i believe (wannacry was a blast to play i freaking love this level).
Petition to make levels gameplay focused and not effects (Looking at you Ber Zer Ker, Wannacry, Etc)
I LIKE GRAX TOO BUT IT'S JUST SO EHH
I think I see stars shouldn’t even be top 15, meta should be top 4, wannacry in 5 because crappy first part and overall gp.
Im gonna hire a hitman because you like Bussin/jk
AAI2 MUSIC AAI2 MUSIC
I'm happy someone noticed
Uprising imo jut doesn’t deserve to be in the top 20
Il be honest dawg , ur only good rates are Quebrantar and I see stars
Mans liked bussin and i see stars, all opinions invalidated
his opinions make you question if free will was a mistake
Tbh, bussin winning was hype. Even though i thought some other levels deserved its spot imagine playing it in like 2 years and remembering old memes.
@@mc_idol idk what you’re talkin about man, I don’t want to remember it ever existing so I don’t think we’re on the same page here lmao
@therealyojames im not saying it's a positive memory, just a fun one ig.
Im ur 900th subscriber🎉
watch metamorphosis
I did react to all the top 20s but its not included in the video
@@itsthezimmy oh alright i hope you liked it 👀
now read metamorphosis.
@@lebenet548 Yea just saw the whole level and I'm extremely surprised that it didn't even get top 3. Easily one of the best looking levels out the contest
Here's my opinion on each level...
The Incinerator: I'm a sucker for Xender Game bossfight levels, and this one is also quite fun with an actually interesting dual, by Easy Demon standards, so I'm a massive fan of this.
Neozenith: This level is cool, but it doesn't really play the best. Probably shouldn't have made it in, imo, although I do like F5Night levels.
Quebrantar: I don’t feel anything towards this level personally, it looks cool, I guess, and plays perfectly fine. It also seems others really like it, so I'm not gonna step on that.
Bussin: Funny level, but I'm not the biggest fan of the gameplay and it can be a bit too flashy in some parts. Not bad, but probably my least favorite of the first NCS gauntlet.
Slasher: The gameplay is awful, and the deco is fine. Not a fan of this one.
I See Stars: Same opinion as Quebeantar. Doesn't speak to me, but it does play well.
WannaCry: Please for the love of god add some sort of photo epilepsy mode to this. I'm not even epileptic, and this hurt my eyes. I'm mixed on the gameplay, because of how flashy some parts are it's really hard to see the gameplay. The actual gameplay is fine, and kinda fun. However, there are some parts where it is unclear what to do or what happens. I honestly found the level very frustrating, but it's not that bad. Overall, should not be in the gauntlets until something is done about the flashiness, if there was though, then completely deserved and it looks really sick.
Magistro: Worst one of the gauntlet. Looks really cool, I can't deny that. However, it plays so awfully. I genuinely don’t care if the decoration is suoer cool, the level is meant to be played first. Get this level out, it's so awful. I should mention, if the gameplay was even remotely good, I would like this level. My least favorite one.
Next Cab Soon: This level is just cool and I like the idea behind the coin even if it could've been executed better.
Ber Zer Ker: I'm also a Grax enjoyer. I think TRANSTELLAR looks sick, and the gameplay is serviceable. EXG is my third favorite Insane Demon. Broken Signal is also cool, maybe I'll get to play some day. This level is also really sick. I enjoy how it looks and the spectacle of the level too. I also found the level quite fun too. Maybe not derserving of first place, but still awesome.
i agree with ur point on magistro but compared to wannacry its better
also the uldm isnt that good
Magistro has horrible gameplay
Don't trust the opinions of this Maggie™.
