I really enjoyed this level. The unique-memory gameplay got extremely consistent and satisfying, even though learning was pretty hard. Since the first 40% is pretty easy compared to the rest, you always get far which made it incredibly enjoyable and not boring at all. The hardest part, for me, used to be the dual wave right before the robot, but I found a way to avoid the spam which makes this part almost completely free, so, now, I think the hardest part is the robot: it features some very precise jumps, and ESPECIALLY the jump at 69% which is absolutely insane. I died about 10 times at this robot part. The following ball part wasn’t too bad although a bit stressful, I died there twice, at the first timing. This timing is not that bad in comparison to the 69% jump; it used to be the reason this level was so hard but since it got nerfed a few months ago it’s way more consistent. I also think it’s easier on 60hz than on higher refresh rates but I’m not sure. Overall, this level was way better than expected and definitely one of the best experiences I’ve had with an insane demon. I don’t agree at all with it being the worst insane demon. That spot goes, in my opinion, to Galatic Fragility.

xo is one of my favorite extreme demons and it is easily KrmaL’s best level in my eyes. I have always loved the song and how well the level represents it, through interesting structuring (the dual at 32% being the prime example) and creative decoration (the air deco at 18% and 49% for instance, as well as the sync parts at 33% and 78%). KrmaL never fails to come up with innovative gameplay, and I feel like xo demonstrates that beautifully; I especially like 61-78%, as it features gameplay you’d never expect to see in your average extreme demon while being exceptionally fun. I firmly believe that all a level needs to be amazing is a good song, great song representation, and decent execution. This level checks all three boxes, and I do not think the simplistic decoration makes it any worse.
I’ve always been scared to play this level because of how intimidating the first third is. That being said, I decided to give it a solid go over three weeks ago, and progress was very slow: I was having a really hard time getting 61-100%, which is the easiest part of the level by a long shot, and things didn’t get any better afterwards. It took me an unbelievably long time to do 41-100% for the first time, a run I’d end up doing 35 times before beating the level. Basically, 41-100% gets all of its difficulty from the unorthodox gameplay (which you get used to over time) and a few chokepoints: the cube portal at 45%, the straight fly at 48%, the jump at 58%, the straight fly at 73% and the dash orb release at 76%. Since most of these get very consistent, 41-100% naturally gets extremely consistent as well, but it requires a lot of practice to say the least.
0-32% however is a completely different story. No matter how much you practice this part, it does not get consistent — I would usually get past it 3 or 4 times per hour at best. The first 10% is honestly not very difficult; the dash orb at 3% is hard at first, but it is actually much easier if you enter the cube portal with downwards momentum. 10-18% is by far the hardest part of the level, and it is one of the brutal and inconsistent parts I’ve encountered in an extreme demon. I could spend hours explaining how ridiculously difficult the ship gap at 13% is, but I think you have to play this level for yourself to truly understand how hard it is. Not only is the gap itself absurdly tight, but the transition into the ship portal being ever so slightly different each time is the cherry on top. Do not expect to ever get consistent at 13% as it is by far biggest chokepoint in the level, and when you miraculously get past it, you still have to go through a very difficult ship part: 17-18% is much harder than it looks. After that, you get to enjoy a small break: 18-29% is relatively easy although you can definitely die at the wave if you’re not careful. Unfortunately, this section is immediately followed by an incredibly hard and unintuitive ship part. There are many ways to enter the ship portal at 30% depending on when you jumped as the cube, and you have very little time to change your click pattern accordingly, which makes this little ship corridor extremely inconsistent and frustrating. The dual at 32% is perhaps even worse: you have to suffer through dual ship physics, it is incredibly easy to accidentally hit a block, and the click pattern as a whole is insanely unintuitive and easy to mess up. Of course, once you somehow get past the first 32% of this level, you have to deal with nerves because of how rare drop attempts are, and that makes 32-100 significantly harder from 0%.
Overall, this is one of the most stressful and mentally draining levels I’ve ever played. That being said, it was still a lot more enjoyable than expected and I had tons of fun practicing 41-100%, which is absolutely fantastic in terms of gameplay. I’m not sure I can recommend this level, but if you’re mentally prepared and truly love the level like I do, go for it.

Finally. This level took me 4813 attempts, and I can safely say it is one of if not the worst experience I’ve had with a level. It was also way harder than expected, and I would consider it harder than Acu, Thanatophobia and Incipient. Here are my thoughts on every part, ranked from easiest to hardest:
Serponge: By far the easiest part, a bit hard to get used to at first but once you understand how it works you should basically never die there. Pretty fun to play.
Dudex: First part of the level, so it was obviously going to get consistent pretty fast. It’s also pretty easy, there aren’t any hard timings. Good part.
Viprin: By far, but I mean BY FAR the best part in this level. It is extremely satisfying to play, there’s not a single bug or annoying timing. I absolutely love this part.
Rustam: Very easy part, but the skull is quite easy to die at. Nothing much to say about it, good part.
Evasium: This part plays very weird because of the speed changes, but it isn’t very hard at all. Died there a few times because of nerves.
Vlacc: At first, the wave at 23% was extremely annoying, but it gets very consistent, so I basically never died there after a while. The transition to rustam as well as the quadruple spike can be very annoying though.
Pan: This parts seems impossible at first. It took me an unbelievable amount of time to get consistent at it, but once I did, it was not that bad. Still died 25 times there from 0, mostly at the wave and at the cube. Overall a fun part.
Etzer: I do not understand how I died 11 times there. Nerves can make parts so much harder. The ship was pretty annoying and the transition into the part is one of the worst in any level because of how ridiculously buggy it is, but otherwise, this was a good part.
Terron: Extremely stressful and hard considering it’s the last part of the level. Unsurprisingly, I died there twice, at 91% and 93%.
Manix: This part is only hard because of the spider at 16%, which I died to way way WAY too much. Almost felt luck based. Otherwise a decent part.
Now you might be wondering how this can be one of the levels I hate the most. Well, let’s comment on the 2 hardest parts...
Nasgubb: I absolutely despise this part. It literally felt random, and every death seemed out of my control. It just feels so unfair. Absolutely hated every single timing, and I was not consistent at all. Horrible part.
ZenthicAlpha: If you thought I hated Nasgubb’s part the most in this level, you are very wrong. This part is quite possibly the worst part I have ever played. The dual is annoying as hell because of two bugs: sometimes, your wave just randomly dies despite the presence of D blocks everywhere, and secondly, you sometimes don’t reach the blue portal and your big robot dies. This dual is already horrible, and it’s not even the worst thing. Following that, we have a ship part, which is the part that has made me the angriest I’ve ever been playing this game. I died there about 95% of the time, it is so incredibly awkward and unfun. I can’t put into words how much I hate it. After a very annoying robot, we get to a completely luck-based spider spam, which is even more random than nasgubb’s part. Without this part, I would’ve beaten this level way faster and I would consider it an insane demon. Sadly, this part exists.
I would not recommend this level. Also my 5th extreme demon :)

And that’s why this level is an extreme demon. This wave is incredibly hard.
I now have two connected runs, (59% and 57-100%), so I know I can beat it.")

Here are two really cool insane demons I beat recently!
Gotts:
What I really like about this level is the drop, in terms of decoration AND gameplay. I absolutely love how DreamTide used move triggers here — not only are the movements extremely smooth, but they really make the level feel alive, which is perfect for this part of the song. I’m also quite a fan of the color combinations as they are very unique while still looking good. As I said, 45-100% is also fantastic in terms of gameplay, everything flows marvelously well. I especially like 66-89% because of how satisfying it is to pull off. The drop does have an annoying difficulty spike though, between 75% and 82%.
Even though I think it’s pretty cool, I can’t say I like the predrop as much. In terms of decoration, I think it lacks a lot of cohesion and I’m not really a fan of the colors. I found the gameplay to be quite frustrating: the orbs at 3% are very inconsistent, the double click at 9% is too hard, the blue orb at 11% feels a bit unfair, the UFO at 17% is incredibly inconsistent and awkward to play and the blue orb at 39% is too hard. Moreover, the second coin (which I took) requires you to do a ridiculously difficult jump at 40%. From what I’ve played, this jump is actually very easy on 60hz while it is by far the hardest timing in the level on 144hz. It felt completely luck based and I died there about 70% of the times I got there from 0% which got incredibly annoying after a while.
Overall, this is an amazing level but I think the predrop could definitely be better. Moreover, I unfortunately got very unlucky, dying many times past 75%, with a fail at 98%.

Fast Forward:
This level uses 2.0 limitations and I honestly find that quite impressive considering how clean and modern it looks, while still capturing the 2.0 vibe. It is pretty obviously inspired by Hinds, but you can definitely tell it was made by Sley because of the color combinations (which are amazing, by the way). My favorite thing about this level has to be the gameplay though, it flows incredibly well and features some pretty unique sections (47-49% for instance). I have very few issues with this level gameplay-wise: the robot jumps at 4% are a bit annoying, the transition at 35% is too sudden and 40% is kind of frustrating since you have to do a decently hard timing right after a dual wave spam, making things a lot harder.
Overall, this is one of the most fun insane demons I’ve ever played and I love the decoration as well.

I don’t have much to say about the decoration here, nothing very interesting. The last part is pretty cool without the LDM (which I used) though!
However, the gameplay is FANTASTIC. I loved playing this, I think it’s extremely satisfying overall and very well built. The last ship is probably the hardest part but it’s very easy to avoid dying there if you focus. No complaints, I definitely recommend this level. Probably shouldn’t be insane demon, this is the least attempts one has ever taken me.

This level is awesome. The decoration is absolutely incredible, from the colors to the theming, it’s executed incredibly well (note that this video uses the LDM). While the gameplay may seem annoying at first, it does get incredibly fun over time; it features unique mechanics and fast paced gameplay. Leyak will probably fall to insane demon relatively soon, so try it out if you haven’t already! (it did get rerated to insane demon a day after I uploaded this lol) edit: it got extreme again for some reason? edit: please stop switching its insane again

I absolutely love this level. Visually, it is incredibly well made and the colors are some of the best I’ve seen in an extreme demon. I also love how varied it is and how alive it feels. In my opinion, this level is simply perfect in terms of decoration, I love everything about it.
The gameplay is also incredible. Almost every single part is incredibly fun, fair and consistent. The predrop is definitely the hardest part of the level, especially the jump at 1%, the pink orb at 6%, and the yellow orb at 13%. The wave at 15% is insanely fun and consistent, definitely one of my favorite parts. The part at 22% features some of the best ship gameplay I’ve ever seen; I usually hate how inconsistent and awkward ship sections are, but this is the exact opposite. Just like the wave part, I found it to be extremely consistent and satisfying to play. The level gets a bit easier at 29%, with the ball part being a small break other than the pink orb at 30% which is quite difficult. The part at 34% is incredibly easy to die to since the jump at 34%, the blue orb at 37% and the ship section at 38% are all really hard. The UFO at 42% is significantly harder than it looks, the first few timings are surprisingly difficult because of the moving objects. After that, the level gets a lot easier until 57%. This ship part is very challenging, especially the gap at 61% which I died to many times. At 62%, the level gets even easier, with 62-72% being the easiest part of the level in my opinion. The robot section at 72% is really difficult at first but it gets quite consistent after a while. Finally, the last 20% of this level is extremely hard, but pretty much everything gets consistent, excluding the beginning of the ship part at 81% and the transition at 93%.
Overall, this is a fantastic level. I really enjoyed playing it even though I got a bit unlucky. I definitely recommend it!

Sadly had to beat this with the LDM, but there are lots of other videos showcasing this level’s awesomeness!
One of the best insane demons I have played. My experience with this was awesome, this level is incredibly fun to learn and to play from 0. It took me just under an hour, which is way less than usual for a level of this difficulty. I surprisingly only died twice past 40% before beating it, which is something I definitely didn’t expect considering how stressful the ending is.
First, the decoration. I think this is a visual masterpiece, this level truly is one of the best cartoony-art levels I have played. The colors work extremely well together, and I am more than happy that Scorch decided to not only use red for a magma themed level, but also purple, yellow, orange...The black and white outlines which define Scorch’s style couldn’t have been done any better in my opinion, and they do an amazing job at giving this level a very cartoony look. The structuring is also incredibly well executed, with all those rocks and custom objects making it look really unique. Scorch really knows how to give his level a theme; because theming is not just about a background of a few custom objects here and there, a themed level is about the block design, the colors the background - pretty much everything there is. I also need to talk about how alive this level feels: everything is moving, pulsing, shaking, in a way that perfectly fits the song. Sadly, I forgot to enable shake effects, but whatever. I also found the part at 44% to be incredibly cool, and it is such a great example of Scorch’s ability to make unique and well themed parts. Overall, you understand that I think this level is close to perfection. I still have some minor things I don’t like about the decoration, especially the part at 60% which looks really underwhelming considering how good the rest is. I get that it really is a good part to suit the calm part of the song, but I think Scorch could’ve done way more with it. Also, the endscreen looks quite rushed - but whatever, It’s an endscreen.
The gameplay in this level is quite good, although a bit unbalanced. I actually think the first cube which goes from 0% to 14% is the hardest part of the level, as the timings are surprisingly tricky and hard to learn - I think this is only insane demon part. The following part, the spider part, is also pretty hard to learn, but the timings themselves aren’t hard at all, so it’s very consistent from 0. The robot, starting at 32% is a really fun and easy part. The transition into it however is quite annoying, and even though the jump syncs almost perfectly with the song, it really feels unfair to die there because you have next to no time to react. The following part features some of the best gameplay I’ve seen. It flows ridiculously well - especially the cube part at 52%, which is extremely well synced and fun to play. Furthermore, the UFO is also very satisfying - I honestly love orbs UFO gameplay, I really think it’s underrated. My only problem with this whole part is 46%, but even then I don’t think that’s the level’s fault. I died a lot there when practicing and also once from 0, the transition from UFO to ship feels a bit awkward, but I don’t exactly know why, so I assume I wasn’t doing it correctly. Let’s move on to the next part, which is a mini cube starting at 61%. This part is by far the easiest one - I think it’s a nice break. It’s also quite satisfying to do and - like all the other parts - syncs very well. Now, let’s talk about the second and most intense drop. This level is so stressful after 70%, it requires all your attention - mostly because of the x4 speed and the very fast inputs required. The spider at 70% is actually quite easy after some practice, but it is also quite easy to die there. The robot part is unfortunately a bit awkward to play, especially 82% which I died to once from 0, I really do not think fast robot gameplay works very well - it’s incredibly unreadable and overall quite annoying, although it’s not too bad in this level. The level then ends with a very easy and fun slow cube part, which I don’t really have anything to say about.
Overall, this masterpiece was a blast to play and I definitely recommend it. It’s awesome both in terms of visuals and in terms of gameplay. Good luck if you haven’t beaten it yet!

This is a level I’ve wanted to do for a while now, very happy to have it done. When I started playing it, I was having tons of fun playing the drop and progress was going well. Once I got consistent enough at 39-100%, I started practicing the first 39% and realized that it was absurdly difficult. The ship at 32% eventually got extremely consistent, but the first cube never did. I don’t think I’ve ever struggled this much on a part, I basically had to rely on luck to get past it once in a while from 0%.
Here are the hardest things about this level for me:
- The red orb at 9% is the hardest timing in the level by a long shot in my opinion. You have to hit the green and pink orbs in such a specific way for it to even be possible.
- The blind timings at 11% are quite difficult but they somehow got extremely consistent.
- 14% is incredibly difficult and inconsistent, died there all the time.
- The release at 15% is possibly the most unintuitive timing I’ve ever encountered.
- 16-19% is not that hard but I kept messing up the black orb timings for some reason.
- The blind timings at 21% are very difficult, but they feel really intuitive and the black orb timings are slightly nerfed so this section got consistent after a while.
- 25% is not hard at all but I kept dying there because of nerves.
- The yellow orb at 35% is definitely the hardest timing past 32%, hitting it as early as possible is very difficult.
- The robot staircase at 56% is way harder than it looks, died there a few times from 0%.
- 58-66% is the last hard part of the level in my opinion, especially the wave spam at 66%.
Overall, I had a pretty good time with this level, even though going from 0% was quite frustrating at times. I definitely recommend this level!
