"BWOMP" by MaxiKD, wiktord, Cdpre & more | Geometry Dash 2.11
It's not too often we see good modern style megacollabs, or even megacollabs that aren't Demon difficulty. This is both of those, which is nice to see because it's accessible to a lot more players. Aside from this, the most noteworthy part of this level is that it's a modern remake of Blast Processing. That's of course partly due to the song, but most importantly because of the level's general structure. The game modes for each part of the song, and how these respective parts play out, is very similar to Blast Processing. I haven't compared to see just how similar these levels are in terms of gameplay, but if anybody has insane memory and knows or if anybody wants to check, feel free to let me know in the comment section. This correlation means that the gameplay is very easy to read on your first try, and the fact that it's heavily based on the main levels' gameplay, which is generally good, makes this fun to play.
The level is not only similar to Blast Processing in gameplay, but also in smaller details of the visuals. There is, for example, the structures shaped as icons at 1:06. However, most parts don't rely too much on the original's visuals and do their own thing with similar gameplay as mentioned earlier. I think every part looks very good, featuring clean but cool block designs and decorations as you'd expect from experienced modern creators. Every part also has great color mixing and movement, and some include neat effects synchronized to the song, which makes the level dynamic.
Overall, this is probably one of the most consistent modern megacollabs I've seen, so it may just be my favorite one overall. The fact that it's inspired by Blast Processing makes it stand out a bit more too. Sometimes I find that remakes and similar projects take too much from the original. However, that's not the case here; this does it in a perfect way in my opinion. The song and gameplay is similar, and there are a few visual references, but it's very original aside from that. With the gameplay being nice too, this will most certainly get an Epic rating. In terms of difficulty, it'll probably be 7 Stars.
Edit: The gameplay is exactly the same, which is crazy to me. When playing, it felt different, but I have to admit that it's been a while since I played Blast Processing. Still, this goes to show how much different visuals affect the playing experience, and I'd say they did a good job in that sense. Despite this clarification, I stand by this being a very good remake because the visuals are so different but still very good. You need to change the gameplay and/or visuals enough but still keep the essence of the original, and "BWOMP" does that well in my opinion.
