Yggdrasil
Yggdrasil
Lore
A location based Norse Cosmology that connects the nine worlds. It is also called the Tree of Life in some interpretations.
Being an Eldritch locale, there is only a vague interpretation what is up there. The three characters encountered in this level are from Zatsupachi's 'Cutezome Mythos' works. Crator, Cream and, Kichona visit this area(and made apparent that it's not their first time) to study it. Kichona's intentions were to make stable transdimensional travel in space-time to ease their travels. Once confirmed stable, she will open this project up with her superiors to make travelling to different parts the universe easier for their race. According to her research, this stability is achieved if a constant frequency matrix can be transmitted in this borderworld of sorts.
The nature of Yggdrasil, as with the myth, is that it provides a sort-of shortcut to different parts of the universe(and time), similar to a wormhole. The property noted with this location was that it was safer to travel across(despite its potentially hostile inhabitants).
The Contest Level
The level was poorly received(a score of 15.2/50) and got a least favorite from 2 judges(Enjl and ACESpark). Mainly it was because of its poorly-introduced and inconsistent "non-Euclid" screen-warping gimmick. It was also infamous for it's unforgiving difficulty, overpowered enemies and, the superbosses in the end. It is one of the larger levels in the contest running at 92(?) screens.
