- "A dev-kit level. I'll steal it! NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW!"
- ―Dan Backslide, ACESpark's Judge Comment for this level
Overview
This level became infamous when shown due to it just being Pharaoh Man's stage with a few new enemies and extremely minimal changes to the layout. Pharaoh Man's level was even included with the devkit participants used to create levels, furthering the laziness of the level (though, bafflingly, this level does not include Pharaoh Man himself despite being in the original devkit level). It has been often wondered by players and the judges themselves, looking back on it, how the level didn't get disqualified for plagiarism.
Strategy
It's basically Pharaoh Man's level, but with a few differences and a new enemy or two. With no boss. Just blast through everything with Triple Blade.

It's a blatant edit of Pharaoh Man's stage. The beginning part is kind of different and honestly I kinda like it more than the original level because original was just flat and lots of annoying scorpions but here there's some variety. After that the level doesn't even try to hide the fact that it's a blatant edit where there's literally just the original section but with like one random out of place enemy added. There's just a miniboss fight with Tama out of nowhere. There's like one random Rembakun added in the final stretch and that's all the changes. Um. Uhh. Yeah.

This was basically Pharaoh Man's stage with a few more enemies, nothing else. The fact that there was no Pharaoh Man boss at the end only made it more disappointing. Come on man, that boss was even in the devkit! Also, one of the Hovers failed to spawn and I had to use Rush Jet, but I'm not sure that's your fault or the game's.

While this stage is fun to play, I don't believe that much of it was actually original, since... it's basically a less interesting version of Pharaoh Man's stage. I don't really have anything to add here, to be honest. That basically sums it up.

| Meh. Level design seems okay, there's not really that much bullshit elements. Enemies aren't placed too badly, but most of them are either not threatening at all or are hard to avoid. There are two subsections that annoyed me, but it's no big deal. I don't know what else to say tbh.
|
Eh… I'm not sure how much fun it is to go through a stage that's basically Pharaoh Man. I enjoyed it, but for me it just feels like I was playing Pharaoh Man's stage itself. I almost kept forgetting that this was modified and I wasn't even certain if the original was like this. Other than that it was enjoyable I guess.
|
Do I have to say anything? This level is straight-up a rip-off of Pharaoh Man. No creativity was used, and while it could have been an interesting edit, is just a boring rip-off.
|
Didn't stand out to me too much. Once again it's so similar to Pharaoh Man it's hard to enjoy the graphics. But the music is kick-ass.
|
Works just fine.
|
When I play a level, I'm expecting something new and original, not a blatant duplicate of an existing devkit stage. So I'm refusing to judge this level. Enjoy the 0 points.
