Creativity: This level shows ingenuity in every aspect of the word. I got a "Trophy" for being new to the game after I died more than once on the first obstacle, makes great use of the effects in the background where things sway and move and make me feel immersed in the level. the game play by itself is engaging and requires some quick timing and maneuvering to get through. While platforming some little things are noticeable such as some rocks falling after grabbing onto an object

Dimensions: This is the first level where I have seen great use of the glitched background layers where the creator can use more than just the first 3 layers in the game. besides that the author uses only one layer for all of his platforming, but that isn't a problem because the game is so involving as it is it doesn't need more than 1 layer to play on.

Lighting: the background lighting consists of orange and yellow and the platforms due to the lighting are black. As the title indicates the level is played in silhouettes, but that isn't a problem, because the background makes this game seem somewhat like locoroco for the psp which if you haven't played yet I suggest looking into.

Sounds: Sound effects are tied to the objects and pulleys. as you grab onto something it may creak and groan adding to the feeling of being in a forest. The music is the adds to the jungle theme with percussion instruments from the Savannah levels in the main story.

Re-playability there are many hidden objects and paths to be discovered, and there is more than just that one Trophy/challenge at the beginning mentioned earlier but you will have to play to find them all. I found this level to be somewhat on the challenging side, especially when I grabbed onto something and it fell (fortunately at those parts there is an infinite life spawn point), but I was still engaged to keep playing to the end.

Because of its creativity and difficulty I am giving this level a 10 out of 10
