Recently, a new Geode mod has been in production called GD Champions, in which you and 3 other random people can queue into a 15 minute match to see who can get highest % on a randomly selected level. I was offered to playtest an Alpha build of this mod, and this level was given to me in 2 different matches. I got 56% on it from these matches, and figured I might as well finish it off.
I found this to be much better than what I had heard about the level, but I really did not like how overly done the shaders were. I do understand the theming of the level, but the shaders (especially in the last dual) were so flashy and obstructive it got a bit irritating at times. The last dual was so harsh with the shader usage you can barely see your icon, and this is the case to a slightly lesser degree earlier in the level too. I had so many unnecessary deaths to the last dual simply because I couldn't see anything at all, which wasn't very fair in my opinion.
That aside, I did quite like the base gameplay and I did overall enjoy my experience with it. That being said, I'm not sure if I could recommend this to others, especially if they don't deal well with flashes.

I love 2.0 levels. They give me the most nostalgia out of any time period as I got the full version of GD around 2 weeks after the update released, so all of my oldest memories are those of the entirety of that version of the game. As a demongrinder, I often find that 2.0 levels are the most tedious and frustrating to play out of any time period of the game, and when playing a couple of them recently I suddenly felt really motivated to try making something that looks like it came straight out of that time period, with the difference being what I hope is fun gameplay without a lot of the unfair nature that 2.0 levels contain. I found this song after a few hours of searching through various recently uploaded Dubstep songs to Newgrounds, and while the vocal chops in the song are very goofy I think it represents the time period really well. This took me close to 2 weeks to build and it is undoubtedly a huge step up from the quality of my first level, Reptile.
Some parts in this level are very out of place and unfitting but that was intentional due to the nature of levels at the time, along with other various quirks such as incorrect 3D, random text, etc. In my and playtesters opinions this seems to be a high end insane demon, so I think itd be really cool if this ends up on the IDL if rated. I really hope people find this fun to play :3
