My first post of what is going to be my absolute definitive experience of this game, since I first started to play roughly a decade ago. Despite having been worked on for so long, I was one that only first heard of this level when the full showcase dropped (PLEASE go see that, if you haven't already). It immediately became one of my favorite levels I've ever seen, and before long, @lcb79 graciously invited me to help with playtesting, which has already been so much fun for me, as well as being a great experience internally. As incredible as it would've been to see LCB verify, this level turned out to be a **LOT** harder than what almost anybody anticipated, so much so that it even became a primary motivator that led me to beating Sinister Silence last month. Putting it more simply, not everything has went exactly according to plan with this, but it has turned into an opportunity greater than I could ever have imagined as a player, and I couldn't be more grateful about it.
Now, more about the run itself. What's so crazy about it is I'm not convinced at the moment that it's even as hard as the first 35%, but this took a ton of grinding over the last two days to pull this off. The last 40% is built intentionally around being much easier than the rest, but some of the harder parts are still covered in this run (specifically the Apogee section, starting at 50%). With how difficult this is for my skill level, it's unlikely that I will post progress videos too frequently, but I'm prepared to grind this out as much as possible, and hopefully get it out reasonably soon.
Of course, you can contact me on Discord (dementeddd) if you want more frequent updates regarding progress or anything else. :)
34,415 attempts and ~66 hours, 56 minutes of playtime as of this run (Mostly spent on much harder versions).
