PLEASE WATCH IN 4K FOR BETTER BITRATE!

SONG: https://www.mediafire.com/file/mcyr9f... (The song has been sped up to 1.5x speed on purpose; I felt that it sounds much better at that speed, and is the only way to fit within 30s.)

This is a level that I have wanted to see decorated for a looooong while. I initially made the most of the gameplay over a year ago, with zX making the UFO part. I tried to find someone to help with decorating it, since I didn't think I had the means to myself, but no one was interested. Eventually after chatting with Renn (thank you btw renn) and getting permission from zX, I decided to do the decoration entirely by myself, with the use of assets from other levels such as Anodyne and BLEED.

I do apologise if the decoration is a little too boring or reminiscent to those levels due to this, but I don't think I would have ever finished this off otherwise. In the end, I am extremely proud of how this turned out, and it perfectly fits the vision I had for it ever since the start. I found this song from osu, and I incorporated many different aspects of the original banner and especially the music video for this song, which is amazing and can be found here:    • 零式  

I pushed through to finish this primarily because this is likely the last big project I will ever create in GD. My interest from both a playing and creating standpoint has been nonexistent for a long while now, and it was just this level that stayed in the back of my mind.

The level is completely open for anyone to try to verify, but admittedly I am very doubtful that anyone will be able to do so. This level is WAY harder than the current hardest challenges, and if it wasn't obvious, there is no locked frame rate for this. For anyone that wishes to give this a try, I wish you very good luck.
