I really didn't think I'd beat this as quick as I have beaten it, I'm truly in disbelief. After 54 days of grinding this it finally plays off...

There wasn't a single moment during my time with this level where I disliked it for even a second, if there was such a thing as a perfect level, Nightshade comes extremely close to it. Sure the level has it's flaws but I honestly don't see the issue in it, they're so small and insignificant that it can easily be overlooked without any issue being caused

How do I begin... The gameplay, the gameplay of this level is IMMACULATE. Every part feels really really good to play and is incredibly satisfying to pull off in runs, I found myself early on simply grinding runs for the hell of it due to how fun some parts are! The gameplay is incredibly well balanced, although the wave at 48% - 52% can be very daunting and is most definitely the hardest part of Nightshade, other than that though the gameplay is pristine, I wouldn't ask for anything more out of it

The decoration really links this song to the level, the whole team behind Nightshade just absolutely popped off when making this. Each part uses the chaotic nature of the song and amplifies it to the maximum, I mean just look at Toughfeys part for example, the song ramps up in it's bass slightly and the visuals just go through the roof to really add to the intensity of the level! Or how in the middle of iNubbles part it syncs with the pulsing noises, there's so many examples of tiny details cared for in this level that makes it in my opinion, the best level in the game. I could go on for hours about the polish this level has in quite literally every single part, there is not a single part that looks less good than the other and if you were to ask what my favourite is I don't think I would have an answer for you, every part is just simply astounding in it's own way and doesn't outdo or take away from any other part, it's perfection in terms of decoration in my opinion

The song makes the level what it is, this gameplay and decoration perfectly fit with the song chosen for the level, the chaos, the energy, it just makes Nightshade what it is, the creators did such a good job with this level and I'm honestly overjoyed to say this is my hardest level!

I want to personally thank Yakob and some other members of the Nightshade team for supporting me in my journey, such as Loltad, Sley, and especially OliSW, he was there for a majority of the streams and always bullied me when I died at his part, bless him LOL! But yeah, that's all I really have to say about this, I don't see myself beating anything harder than this for awhile, I simply just want to let this sit atop it's throne as my hardest for a good bit before I decide it's time to do something more difficult.

Thank you for everyone who attended my streams of this and thank you to all those who believed in me, I can't put into words how uplifting this experience was for me, I'll see you all next time something cool happens :)
