Frankly, I had much more fun with your level much more than a good chunk of levels.

That background was pretty nauseating though.

Pretty much the effect of Procrastination, this level is. I like how it was utilizing horizontal wrap-around to ascend the tower, though this level is filled with just weird design decisions like, are you just meant to tank the hit from the Rex with the first mushroom? And the second bit might as well kill you immediately for losing the mushroom since you need to get rid of some turn-blocks. The rest of the level was just climbing the stairs. Then it's over. Sad.

The intro and outro screens of this level are pretty, and the song's nice. The moving background is also pretty trippy, although it's weird how it cuts off suddenly. Beyond that, we have a short tower-type stage with some minor uses of screen-warp and some very awkward Rex shenanigans, typically based around forcing the playing to creep through ultra-cramped passages or make uncomfortable bounces across spikes. Also notably shorter than the majestic name might suggest. The level itself admits it's a one-day rush job, and that's not too hard to see.

+ Nice first and final screens

+ Trippy background

- Corridors not built to fire code

- Rushed as a Canadian prog rock band

Other: JFK? I thought this structure was supposed to *Pierce* the sky!
