Wow I'm so incredibly happy to finally have a new hardest. The previous level that stood at the top of my list for the longest amount of time was Macabre, which was for 9 months. Promethean has been my hardest for 2 and a half years so this completion is very long overdue. This is like the 5th new hardest I've tried to beat since promethean and all the rest have failed miserably. Zodiac, Verdant Landscape, Climax (honestly probably harder than promethean) and fucking Limbo (which honestly might never happen) all crumbled as I lost motivation to play hard levels. Especially since Limbo is the least optimized hunk of objects I've ever played, complete with the shit balancing and scattered chokepoints all over the level. I realized I was falling off a long time ago but with the release of 2.2 I gained motivation to start playing hard stuff again after I gained 1000 moons. I had a lot of fun just playing a bunch of featured levels and I'm still kinda doing it but a little less now. But I played The Golden in silence a bit after I dropped Limbo (this was in like october) but I got 80% and dropped it soon after, due to me not only losing motivation to play GD but also thinking that 2.2 was going to come out soon which was going to ruin my chances of beating it partially because of the physics and because of the distractions which were all the new features. I can confirm that the physics are a hell of a lot better in 2.2 and every hard level (that fucking works) feels way better to play now. I realized this a little late, because by then I'd already done my platformer/random featured level spree, beating i wanna be the guy and The Tower XXII. This brings me to 3 days ago, when I randomly did 26-74 and then 26-76 on the golden after literally not playing it since october save for one practice run. I quickly realized that wave was in fact free on this update so I saw the opportunity and took it. In these last three days I got to the robot I think like 7 times which was including 82% twice, 84% and 85% and some other NPC deaths. I also decided to be a dumbass and do 13-100 randomly yesterday and drop to 100 a few more times after that so there was no way i was dropping this again. In the last few hours I was consistent as hell but damn it was a grind. trying to stay motivated to keep playing from 0 after dying to the 50 ship every attempt no matter what the fuck you do is kinda crazy and even if i pass it i die at the 60 wave and then right back to playing in a copy. 4 attempts later i do drop to 100 then rinse and repeat the whole thing. that hurts so much because this level is so fucking fun that it hurts to feel like im stuck between 50-70 because im so good at everything else. anyway i know this is a weird spot to end the description at but i dont know how much more I can type honestly and its 3 am im tired as fuck so I may update this later (probably not lmfao)

editing here, after rebeat i can confirm this level is fucking awesome maybe all i needed last night was the sleep buff but yea after the bugfix update dropped this level is kinda peak
i found this level in the awarded tab a few days ago and even after a practice run i thought itd be around maybe top 700. i have NEVER been so wrong about how hard a level is in my life. the more i played, the harder i thought it was but i also became less and less sure that it wasnt just a skill issue and that it was actually like top 300 and easier than edge of the world. then i saw the verifiers opinion which is that it was harder than bloodlust. i dont actually know. the easiest i can see it being is about spectrum cyclone difficulty or a bit easier, and the hardest i can see is around the rupture. i wouldnt be surprised if someone thought it was harder than that but i also wouldnt be surprised if someone thought it was on that lower end of that difficulty spectrum (ha) maybe its my horrible horrible luck talking but its gotta be harder than bloodlust imo. i also beat this while riding an exercise bike
onto the actual level its very good theres one crazy ass click at 80 but the gameplay is genuinely very good i just had a bad experience because i kept dying at the end over and over again because i suck. learning this level was such a difficult process i felt powerless against the predrop for a good while and then still powerless against the first half of the drop but then the difficulty kinda falls off a bit after that. i kinda wish it was a little more evenly balanced instead of the first 50 being like 85% of the difficulty and then 69 being 5% of the difficulty and then 80-86 being 10% of the difficulty idk i dont like the balancing and its by far the biggest drawback but with the bugs fixed everyone can have a good experience with this level just be patient, it was super fun to play the whole time i just got demotivated every time i died at the end so i wont lie about the enjoyment here ðŸ˜
