Happy Extreme Demon!
Plasma Pulse III is a level that I've known about ever since I joined this community back in 2017, and as a result it's one of those levels that I've always wanted to get around to at some point. I finally got that chance right when I got back home from my vacation in early June, since I wanted to use it as a warmup level for Bloodlust (which I have since started playing again!).
To be fully honest, this level was pretty disappointing. One of the first things I noticed about the level the moment I started playing it was that it is extremely janky, which is something that usually causes me to dislike levels that I play. While learning the level, though, I was having a decent time! It wasn't the most fun level of all time or anything but I was enjoying myself.
It all kinda fell apart when I started going from 0% though. The predrop at first was such a drag. The first ball is one of the harder parts of the level, and it took a good while for me to begin to pass it consistently. It's followed by a ship and a wave that could fit well into a hard demon, and which made the first 25% of the level incredibly boring to play, especially when I died anywhere past the ball and before the drop. Luckily towards the end of my time playing this level I was able to pass the predrop pretty consistently, so I really don't dislike it, but it definitely did sour my experience overall.
The sections from 27%-67% are where most of my complaints lie. The mini ball starting at 27% was so oddly inconsistent. The part isn't even hard, it just killed me like half the time from 0% for what felt like no reason, which made deaths there feel incredibly frustrating. The cube/wave parts following the ball were also incredibly infuriating for the same reasons, with each part feeling super awkward and oddly inconsistent. The buffers that you have to pull off in the mini cube parts never really felt good to play either, like they were so weird man. The blue ball at 46% is basically the 27% ball on steroids, with me disliking it for pretty much the exact same reasons as the 27% ball, except I would die to this one way more than the 27% ball. The pink UFO/Wave section following this ball was definitely the worst part of the level, mainly because of how bad the wave is. The transition into the wave itself was bad, but it's also filled with invisible hitboxes that are way too easy to hit and die to, and believe me I died there plenty of times from 0%, which again made the level much more frustrating than it needed to be.
The ending of the level, or 67-100%, is the hardest part of the level by a decent margin, and somehow it was actually the most consistent part of the level for me towards the end. I was able to do 67%-80% literally every attempt when I finished off the level today, and I actually only ended up dying to that section a singular time, despite that one section carrying a majority of this level's difficulty for me. 80-100% I found super awkward, especially the robot which I heavily disliked, but I only died to 83% twice so honestly I feel like I got pretty lucky with this level for how tough the ending of the level is, which is definitely welcome. With how frustrated I was getting at this level towards the end of my experience, I don't wanna imagine how rough things could have gotten if I got unlucky.
Overall, Plasma Pulse III is a pretty cool level, but also an incredibly janky and unbalanced one. I can't really call it a bad level though, it's really just not for me. If you're interested in it, give it a shot! I know plenty of people who love this level so there's definitely a solid chance you'd like it too. If you dislike janky levels like me, however, maybe skip out on this one if it isn't on your bucket list.

![[200% Speed] Clubstep 100%](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/w2IkzHruMlY/mqdefault.jpg "[200% Speed] Clubstep 100%
This was SO much harder than I thought it was going to be. This took me all weekend to pull off. It started off when I decided to do 1.5x speed on Friday night and managed to pull it off rather quickly, so I proceeded to do 1.6x, 1.7x, 1.8x, 1.9x and finally 2.0x speed earlier today. And Im not even kidding when I say that this is probably list worthy in difficulty. Its definitely harder than Bloodbath and Blade of Justice. Also, Im pretty sure Im the second person to do this only behind Meatius, and I can see why no one else wanted to do it. It hurts the wrist a looot, but Im still glad I did it

Woogi literally cannot miss.
Retention by Woogi is an absolute classic. Its a level that Ive been meaning to beat for years at this point, but I never got around to it because I was too scared to learn it. Right after I beat N0, however, I decided to try this out as my first 60hz Extreme Demon completion since its extremely 60hz friendly, and what ensued is one of the most fun experiences I have ever had with any level in GD.
This level is absolutely perfect. Its on par with Ocular Miracle and Quaoar as one of my new favorite levels of all time. The gameplay is fair, fun, and is unbelievably consistent after you learn it. The song, while being an absolute banger, gives the level an upbeat vibe, one that almost motivates you to keep playing, even if you get unlucky with it (like I did). The decoration is Woogi decoration, so obviously it looks great, and holds up really well in my opinion to todays standards. There really isnt a single complaint that I have about Retention. Its literally just that good.
I cannot recommend this level enough. Its a perfect first Extreme for literally anyone who wants to get into them, and its 60hz friendly, so theres no reason not to give it a shot!
Also, this is my first 60hz Extreme! :D

Attempts: 2447 (I also had around 5.5k on mobile if you wanna count those, since I originally tried to beat this on mobile)
My Difficulty Rank: Entry Extreme Demon (Slightly harder than Acu)
Enjoyment: 100/100 (i love you woogi)
