Ooooooh baby! Here's my completion of Light Travel, a 9 minute extreme demon and a new hardest for me
I really love this level, there's so much I could say about it. I think it taps very deeply into the fundamental beauty of a game like GD, the simple appeal of jumping and flying through a landscape of abstract shapes. It's a rather stripped back level, in that sense. The song is more or less just an average trance thing, but I think the spacious, monochrome visuals suit it perfectly, and the style of the gameplay too. I love the the way that the gameplay concepts are given so much time to develop compared to most levels, and the variety between all the different parts. Not every single part in Light Travel is especially good-looking or fun, but that feels somewhat inevitable in a level that makes so many bold design choices. The gameplay balancing is astonishly good for a level of this length and variety too. Really great level, some of the most fun I've ever had going for a completion.
This level is arguably not extreme demon difficulty, and I think one of the main reasons its rated that in-game is because, for a very good player, its length and memory aspects make it much more time-consuming to learn and beat than insane demons or even some other extremes. It loads more on your endurance and ability to focus under pressure than your raw skill. For someone like me, its probably easier than e.g. Acu or Frightful Melody, but I really have no ability to judge, as my only other completion that comes close is Night Terrors, which I played casually over the course of years, and that plus the stark difference in skills it tests makes it totally uncomparable, so I'm just gonna take it and say I beat an extreme demon!!! Anyway, if you like this level and have beaten at least a couple insane demons before, I highly recommend it!
Played on my 60hz laptop screen, bypassed to 120fps, with Zero Delay in Megahack v7 turned on. Beaten in 1183 attempts. Around 20 deaths past 60%, the latest of which was at 91. My clicks usually aren't audible because I set the noise gate too high and also my mouse is kinda just like that
