This song really threw me off from its vastly different instrumentation (I found the electric guitars and rock style of music jarring to the rest of the game's techno OST) + the weird (somewhat disgusting) aesthetic of the stage... It was only when I found out that the original creator of Platypus I had no involvement with the sequel's development, that I realised why. Totally didn't capture the essence of the game. Felt thrown off and nauseated at the final stage. Really did the game injustice as a final stage. Felt too abrupt and out of place with no context. (The screaming eyeballs didn't help either). Tasteless creation of a final stage. (I'm not usually this harsh in comments but I felt I needed to express what my kid self felt in that encounter.)
7:08 beginning of the Platypus 2 Level 5 song.

Those screaming eyeballs really freaked me out as a kid
