Well, surprise! It’s been a hot minute since I’ve done a level this hard. Deep down I’ve been wanting to beat something really difficult again, but I just couldn’t find the will to grind a level.
I’ve been playing other games a lot more (mainly dark souls, hollow knight, and the new deltarune chapters). On top of that, my main motivation for this game was grinding the memory demon list, especially insane demons, but since I’ve been beating a ton of those, the only options I have left are mostly either really hard or really bad.
But this level just clicked with me, I do have some issues with it, but I was able to pick it up and beat this so much faster than I expected.
This level is so cool, I love how it looks, how it feels to play, and how goofy the gameplay is. It is definitely for a small portion of players, since this level is undeniably extremely jank, but learning how to avoid it and get consistent with every part was… weirdly fun.
I have my issues with a couple parts, mainly the whole 35-45% section (cube and dual ball), and the dual spider. The 39% jump before the blue orb was pretty inconsistent for me, if you don’t time it right you just miss the next block, it was also hard to use a visual indicator since the screen is moving so fast.
The dual ball doesn’t feel like it works properly all the time, kind of like how I died in the video, and I still don’t know how to make it fully consistent. It definitely wasn’t awful, but still an issue.
Finally the last spider. It’s actually really fun once you know how to do it, but the problem is, it just doesn’t work if you try to do it properly. I think doing the dual spider without any skips would bump up the difficulty by at least 2 NLW tiers, maybe I’m exaggerating but it really felt that bad. And because of that, I was basically forced to cheese the hell out of it, which I don’t like doing, but I’d rather do that than deal with what felt like a borderline unplayable part.
There’s also a basically luck based jump at 85%, I only took 1 death to it though so I’m not complaining too much.
Issues aside, I still really enjoyed this level, I would give it an 8/10 or 9/10, because most parts are really fun and satisfying, I really only have 39% and the dual ball to dislike, the dual spider is totally fine if you know the route to take, but it does kinda feel like cheating and I wish it wasn’t as inconsistent without it.
In the end, this took me 6019 attempts, which is so much less than I ever could’ve expected. I don’t know how my attempt count is that low since this level still feels super hard, I’d consider it a 2nd hardest, and it’s probably gonna place in either very hard or insane tier on the NLW spreadsheet.
Thanks to the memory demon list and SMR for the motivation. IDK if anyone will read this whole description but if you do thanks! Very happy to have this done.
NLW tier: pending
Personal NLW tier: Low? Very Hard
