MaxxoRMeN is a creator that caught my attention in recent times, with some really cool works like "NO CONNECT" and "lost myself". Both of those were uploaded on the channel, and I commented on the unique ideas in both the gameplay and visuals that were executed very nicely. The same can be said about "CITYFADE", but on a much larger scale, as this level is nearly 6 minutes long. With a length like this, it's harder to keep the quality consistently high throughout. However, I'd say MaxxoRMeN managed just that.

Every part in this has a city theme, which suits the level name and song choice well. However, it's not your typical city, with a lot of the art, structures, and other surroundings being a bit wacky. One example is the buildings and their windows at 1:11, but any part, especially towards the end as it gets more intense, showcases this. With the careful color combinations on top, it works to create a really unique theme. At the same time, the execution is there with all of the designs and decorations looking really good. The part at 2:05 is probably my personal favorite, showcasing both the skillful detail in the background and foreground art, but also great synchronization to the song. This part is also a great example of the aforementioned unique gameplay that I've seen from MaxxoRMeN. My only minor complaint would be that some parts drag on a bit in length, but in such a long level it works nonetheless since there are so many different parts. Longer parts also make sense with the song's structure.

All in all, this is definitely MaxxoRMeN's best level thus far. The unique theming is executed really well for nearly 6 minutes. Such a length does make it harder to complete, though. According to ImMaxX1, who verified this, it will be an Insane Demon. (Special thanks to him for recording and asking me about showcasing this masterpiece too!) Aside from just the length, some parts can be tricky just because of their unique gameplay, such as the sideways part. There's also 3:34, which has randomized orbs with a massive amount of combinations. It's definitely a challenge, but a sick one if you try it out. Unfortunately, the song isn't on Newgrounds. However, a fitting remix is available. Overall, I think this should get a Legendary rating.
