Higher Higher has everything you would want from a pixel style level, the art is on point, the atmosphere is chill yet it has a bit of intensity to it, and most importantly, the effects are unique, very well made and fit into the aesthetic perfectly.
The colors are bright and cheerful the entire way through, using satisfying color palettes, including some rainbow sections that add variety without going overboard, and there's some shading here and there to add a bit more detail.
The effects are the strongest point by far, both in the foreground and background, found in small details like the health bar in the very beginning, or in a bigger scale, like some of the transitions, or my favorite, the 3D effect that shows up at 0:23, which looks so much more different than the rest of the level, but looks fantastic.
