Hey fellas, while y'all are just getting a little excited over this I'm going to once again over-explain every minute detail of what this level is and how it came to be, whether you like it or not.
It all started when I was building The Sulphur Sea, and while making the abyss part of the level I had to change the water color to be very dark because.. y'know, abyss. And while it was dark I scrolled back to the first part of the level to see the ocean being a nearly pitch black liquid spread across the horizon. Well pitch black was a good word to describe it because it immediately gave me the idea to make a level themed on pitch, or rather tar. The level begins with the occasional tar pit posing a threat to the player but slowly transforms into a decaying wasteland under an ocean of tar.
But I'm sure you're wondering about that creature you're seeing, and yes, this will be an actual boss fight level, the first real one since Beatdemon. This is the beast of tar that embodies the life-sucking nature of tar pits, almost an embodiment of death itself. Upon seeing the player it begins collecting the remnants of its past victims with its amorphous limbs to construct a skeletal host to possess and harass you with, but as you will see later bones aren't the only thing that can serve as a host for it.
TAR SPIT will be a 1 minute 12 second long Easy demon, another level meant to be more accessible to the general public. However I plan for this level to have 3 coins that are exceedingly difficult, each requiring its own path to get independently of each other. One coin will be collected by beating the level normally, except while playing entirely in mini form, boosting the difficulty closer to a hard demon. The other two are complete and very difficult alternate paths that split from the main path halfway through the level, you can see the papyrus chart and runestones there at 0:34, those indicate if you have completed the requirements for going to the alternate paths.
Finally, the song, it was difficult to find a song that matched the theme of death and decay of tar really well, even one by Dunderpatrullen or Bossfight. Then I remembered LukHash, and realized they might have uploaded new songs last time I checked. And sure enough this bop came out earlier this year and it fits perfectly, here it is: newgrounds.com/audio/listen/1132147
