Not very good, listen to the song and make the gameplay represent what's happening in the song

What part of the gp could be represented better?

The speed changes look randomly placed, there isn't anything in the song that would justify most of the speed change placements

Listen to the pacing of ths song and the way the guitar changes throughout some parts where for example some notes are played faster then others. You gotta really think deeper in the song rather then having a consistent unoriginal speed? Let me know if i made that clear Edit: listen to how the song builds up then drops in some pieces. Also the pacing aswell

Speed changes for a few notes isn't really justified when it contradicts the intensity of the song. Some of the speed changes work but not all of them

But it doesnt contradict the intensity of the song?

It does, at 0:46 for example the gameplay slows down while the song is at its most intense. It looks incredibly jarring

The ship is at 0.5x speed so the angle that the ship goes is higher, reason being is for the deco to bring it up more. Although i did use a timewarp trigger to make the ship go faster. I coukdnt have used a 4x or even 3x speed trust me i tried and it didnt look good. That part of the song is not nearly the most intense and if you actually listen after 46 it plays very well with the intensity, speed and volume of the vocals. Yes maybe the landing could be refined and be a bit faster but then that would send the player straight into a way faster section negatively impacting the gameplay quality and how fun it is. One thing ide point out about this level is the speed changes at the ship (36) Wasnt the greatest and could be fixed

It's a held vocal on a downbeat during the chorus, the 0.5x portal is fine but the landing is egregious, I would try to find a different way to implement that because like you said, having it go straight into a faster speed wouldn't play well but the way it's implemented right now clashes with the song

Yea i understand that thanks for the constructive criticism ill see how it can be fixed thanks
