I uploaded "Overload" by Lyal about 8 months ago, which surprised me by its quality from a creator that I had not heard about. With that in mind, I was excited to try their first 2.2 level, "Lucy", and it did not disappoint. This features the clean design style I've seen from them before, with good implementation of 2.2 features on top. Some examples are the subtle shader effects and camera controls at 1:05. I will say that I like the visuals later into the level a bit more than the start, as Lyal starts mixing in some background art and more colors. The part at 1:43 is the best example of this, featuring a really nice city background with several colors mixed nicely on top.
"Overload" was an Insane Demon, making it a bit tricky for myself to beat. However, "Lucy" is noticeably easier, and it will probably be Medium Demon due to the length. Lyal once again releases a level that is around 2 minutes long, which is awesome to see; with the high consistency in quality in mind, it just makes for even more to enjoy. Since the shader effects are implemented subtly, such as distoring the screen slightly or during transitions, the gameplay doesn't suffer. The camera controls are also used smoothly, making for a nice playing experience. There are the aforementioned repeating parts at 1:05, where you get enough time to react to the different directions. The swing part at 0:25 is also quite interesting gameplay-wise, but it plays nicely too. This is definitely worth trying out for yourself in-game.
