Alright, let me just play this leve- HOLY GOODNESS GRACIOUS WHAT IS THIS MUSIC?!?!?!?!?!
I never expected someone to use music from Kid Icarus Uprising, especially the Lightning Battle theme. To be honest, I hope nobody uses it again. It didn't really fit the level that much, and it was considerably louder than the other themes you used in this level. I'm not saying I hated it, but it wasn't that pleasing to me.
This level can be described as pseudo-Kaizo, if that's even a thing (it is now because I just invented it). It was incredibly hard to run through, and it was pretty enjoyable to be honest with you. I get that this is a stormy-themed level, but the rain BGOs lagged my game for some reason (and it has on other levels using those BGOs, I don't understand this phenomena yet).
There isn't much to say about the switch block part, it was pretty straightforward and fun, and I died a crap ton of times trying to get past the Bullet Bill launchers. I was rather confused when there was no mid-point marker, it irked me, to be quite honest.
The boss of the level was exceptionally hard, the amount of enemies onscreen at once combined with the confusing (and lag inducing) rain made him one hell of a fight, but I managed to pull through. I did enjoy this level, but the difficulty was something that almost drove me away from playing it a second time. I'm going to be truly honest with you here, I actually cheated in a mushroom just to beat the boss, and I apologize for that a bit, but he was just insanely hard due to the seemingly spammed amount of enemies and small fighting arena.
Also, the music didn't fit well in the first section, but the boss battle theme was great!
