This level is absolutely amazing, definitely one of the most enjoyable extreme demons Iāve played. The gameplay is straightforward and incredibly easy to learn which I really like.
The predrop is quite difficult because of the ship part at 6% but it gets somewhat consistent after a while so it isnāt a major issue. The first drop is incredibly consistent, although it is pretty easy to die at the cube (21%) and Speedās part (31%). The part at 36% is incredibly satisfying to play and the timings are very fair and consistent. The second drop is probably my favorite part of the level, the ship at 51% was really hard at first but it eventually got consistent. Breaktime is actually decently hard, triple spikes are quite difficult with nerves. The ending (71-100%) is probably the least consistent part of the level but it is fun nonetheless. Finally, the last ship part is extremely easy to mess up, Iām surprised I only died there once.
Overall, this level is fantastic. It seems like many people find it boring to play, which is definitely not the case for me. You get far very often because of how consistent this level is and I love that. Finally, I think this level is balanced incredibly well, I cannot tell which half is harder and I donāt even know what the easiest part is. I definitely recommend it!

Upbeat Universe is a modern megacollab, which is set apart by itās fantastic execution and consistency. While the level doesnāt seem to follow a specific theme, itās tied together by the clean modernistic style every part uses. Furthermore, the smooth transitions help linking all the parts very well, although that unfortunately impacts the gameplay rather negatively. I mentioned this levelās great consistency, however some parts manage to outshine the rest, mainly Rekiās and TheCdPreās parts in my opinion, both featuring incredible colors and remarkably well polished decoration. That being said, I find a few parts to lack a bit of depth, mostly abstortās and CYT0ās parts. Overall, Upbeat Universe definitely lives up to its song in terms of quality and suits it very well, with aedrās part being built around a darker color scheme, which the song seems to suggest. It being the only dark part in the level also makes it feel sort of out of place and I do wish some other parts expanded on said color scheme. This level is definitely one of the best modern megacollabs out there in my opinion, note that I used the LDM to avoid lag.
In terms of gameplay, I believe this level is pretty decent; for the most part, it is pretty satisfying to play, with everything past abstortās part being absolutely fantastic in that regard. Unfortunately, as mentioned before, several transitions feel very unfair. For example, RNBWās parts begins with two - rather precise - robot timings which get thrown at the player, not leaving much time to react. That being said, most transitions get consistent so it isnāt that big of an issue. My main problem is this levelās balancing: DevinCoyoteās part is way, way harder than the rest, the timings at 29% and 34% in particular feeling unnecessarily hard. Furthermore, abstortās ship part is incredibly difficult, especially on 60hz. I donāt think it would be a particularly hard part with a higher refresh rate. Those two parts bump up this levelās difficulty significantly and I personally constantly died to them which eventually made the level quite boring despite the fast-paced gameplay. Overall, I would still recommend this level, especially if youād like to improve your ship skills. Lastly, the last jump is pretty evil, as you can see in the thumbnail...

Visually, I think this is one of the best extreme demons in the game. The decoration looks absolutely phenomenal throughout the entire level, the second drop in particular looks insanely good. Every single part captures the songās intensity extremely well and that is mostly why I love this level so much. I recommend checking out this level in full detail as I had to use the LDM: https://youtu.be/qXEGWphrfxg
In terms of gameplay, this level is relatively good but it definitely isnāt perfect. First of all, the balancing is quite weird; 40-100% is incredibly consistent and easy after learning it while the first 40% is quite difficult and inconsistent ā I only got past 40% 3 times from 0% and fluked the level from 57%. Moreover, the duals are unimaginably hard to learn and they never get 100% consistent which can get annoying from 0%. The predrop is also full of awkward and inconsistent timings that get a bit frustrating after a while. Lastly, Iād like to mention how learny this level is: I spent about 5 hours learning the whole thing, it honestly felt like I was playing memory demon and thatās where most of the difficulty comes from. This isnāt necessarily a bad thing but it isnāt the type of gameplay I enjoy the most personally. I still had a good time playing this level and I definitely recommend it.

This level features some strange parts gameplay-wise but the sync is crazy good. Definitely the most consistent insane demon Iāve ever played, making it very fun since getting far all the time is really satisfying. Not a lot to say, the gameplay here is just pretty amazing. Definitely check out this level if you havenāt, a great low end insane demon!

In terms of decoration, this has been my favorite insane demon ever since it came out. The atmosphere is simply brilliant and unlike anything Iāve seen before. It matches the song incredibly well, a song which is awesome in itself. I like the odd design and color choices as well as the structuring, those really contribute to giving this level its charm. I feel like the UFO and ball parts couldāve been more interesting, especially compared the first few parts, but this is nonetheless my favorite insane demon by a long shot in terms of decoration and atmosphere.
Also, I had to use the LDM so make sure to check out this level in full detail: https://youtu.be/CbGzD-GEAJU
The gameplay is also pretty fun. I admit that itās very unbalanced, with 16-26% and 31-32% being miles harder than the rest of the level, but unbalanced doesnāt always mean bad. It was quite satisfying getting to 16% every single attempt and I had some windows of consistency where I would get past 32% very often. The gameplay itself in those parts is insanely hard while still being fun. The other parts are also amazing gameplay-wise, although there were some strange spots here and there; overall, I love the uniqueness of the gameplay.
I would say this is a high end insane demon, it definitely doesnāt reach extreme demon difficulty, but itās very challenging and skill based even though it looks like it would be more reliant on memory.
