Viprin | "NUCLEO" (Demon) by CASTILLO DASHERO | Geometry Dash 2.2 @viprin | Uploaded 4 months ago | Updated 5 hours ago
This is a really nice, new megacollab by the team CASTILLO DASHERO. It's uploaded by iIMiXXdUpIi in-game, and the full creator list of this level can be found below. I've uploaded works by many of them in the past, so I went into this expecting it to be quite good. It definitely delivered visually. I like how every part plays around with color combinations, as well as small effects to synchronize nicely to the song. 0:31 is probably the best example of this, but it can be said for most of the level. Another thing to appreciate about this level is the transitions. While the change in block design and other decorations make it obvious that the creator changes, there are no annoying black flashes or anything like that; the different parts' designs flow very nicely and smoothly into each other, which I'm sure is appreciated when playing. This will most likely be a Hard Demon once rated. Special thanks to ImMaxX1 for asking me about uploading this and recording the video!

This is another entry to Waboos contest that Rage Quit was made for, meaning that its also a remake of Stereo Madness. That is probably even harder to tell in this case, compared to blis level, as none of the parts show the original look. Its an entirely custom art level, with a kind of Wild West theme to it, which is a really interesting direction. This is the case until a simulated crash at 0:43, after which it gets snowy. These two parts make for an interesting combination, all while fitting relatively well together due to similar rock structures, cloudy skies, and LifeCheck0s general style. In each of the sections, you go up against a bossfight, first some bandits in a car and then a helicopter, both of which shoot rockets at you.
With all of the aforementioned visuals in mind, its no surprise this ended up being rated 6 Stars (5 higher than Stereo Madness and 4 higher than Rage Quit). Theres just so much detail and a lot going on, especially at the bossfights, for it to be rated lower. Im sure a lot of people arent able to tell that the gameplay is from the first level either. Thats not a problem overall, though, but more of a side effect of giving the original such a big overhaul. It has already been rated Epic, which I think works well. There are a few points that leave some things to be desired, such as the audio transitions at 0:33 and 0:56. Additionally, at 1:25 there is text saying, No coin (yet), giving the impression of it being released unfinished. They only had about 1 month to build this, so that makes sense. All in all, this is still a really cool remake, and Im excited to see what LifeCheck0 does in the future. If he doesnt have to follow an object or time limit, Im sure he can make something even better!
*COIN RATING*
Bronze. 1/4. Only one of the coins from the original remain, and its completely unchanged. That makes it completely unoriginal, all while being basically free, so it gets a Bronze rating.
- 1st Coin: Bronze. At 1:12, you come up on the same structuring for the 2nd coin of Stereo Madness. Even if you dont recognize that this is a remake of that level, the gameplay is so slow here that you can sightread and jump up for the coin, making it completely free. All it requires is one extra jump with no special timing. It doesnt do anything different visually either. I understand that LifeCheck0 wanted to keep the original coin here, but that doesnt mean we will go easy on the coin rating. Its still too easy to find and get with no originality as its copied from another level.

Note that I beat the level twice in this video, as its required for the coin. You can watch me get the collectables to unlock the coin from the start of the video, unlocking the cutscene at 1:34, or playing the normal path from 3:48. This megacollab is an entry for the NCS Gauntlet Contest, so I will not be reviewing it here as usual. However, I will still be reviewing the coin below this as it doesnt affect the contest placement. Also, please let me know what you think about this entry in the comment section!
*COIN RATING*
Overall: Viprin Certified. 4/4. The level only has one coin, which ties into the levels theme in a really unique way. It includes various collectables that are both hard to find and get. Afterwards, you have to beat the whole level again, this time from the normal path, adding an additional challenge.
- 1st Coin: Viprin Certified. Shown from the start, you have to get 11 collectables throughout the level, all of which spell out a number. These are found at 0:12, 0:23, 0:25, 0:36, 0:42, 0:49, 0:59, 1:07, 1:09, 1:22, and 1:26 respectively. There are too many to explain them all, but you can quickly see that they all have unique designs that fit well with the theme, while also being somewhat hard to notice and reach. When beating this, I accidentally skipped 1 or 2 several times, so the amount makes it pretty hard. Still, just collectables doesnt really qualify a level for Viprin Certified in terms of originality. The cutscene at the end is what does it, as the numbers from the collectables spell out the phone number to the cab called at 1:34. If you miss a single one, the girl will not call the cab. Before this, you have to watch her play and fail at Stereo Madness, Cataclysm, and Astralith for a few minutes, which is a fun touch. After this, the coin is unlocked in the endscreen through a persistent item, so rebeating it normally does the trick. This is shown from 3:48 in the video. All in all, the coin has lots of added difficulty while also being original in how well it ties into the theming of the level with lots of thought and effort put into the execution. I dont know how many people will get it, but itll be a cool challenge for those who do.
