Well, this has been a long time coming. 11 months of creating/verifying, over 240 hours in the editor, and over 80,000 attempts across all my copies, Collapse has finally been verified.
This has sort of been a dream level of mine, I've wanted to make a level using this song for years and now that I've finished it I think I'm fairly happy with how it turned out. It isn't perfect, but I'm proud of what I've made. Basically everything about this level from the deco to the gameplay was designed around representing to intensity of the song, and I think I did well in that regard. Though I had a completely awful experience dying past 58% a total of 123 times as well as 24 times past 80%, I still think this level plays well and I hope it can be an enjoyable level for anyone who may try it. I have no sense of the difficulty or balancing and it was insanely hard to make playable given how difficult the older copies of the level were, but I think I did a good job with it. To anyone who may see this and think that the level doesn't play good, know i at least tried my very best.
I talk more about my thoughts about every part as well as the design process of the level in general in the link below (it's too long for a youtube description)

Overall I really am quite proud of how this level turned out. Again, I tried my best to make the level play well and if anyone in the future who may play it and doesn't think it does I'm sorry for that. It was super difficult to properly balance considering I made all the gameplay and how hard it used to be. This level has been a genuine passion project of mine, and I really want it to be enjoyable for people. If you're curious I've uploaded the unnerfed copy from when I first finished the level (113258381) and the oldest copy I still have saved (113258444)
Attempts: 26,965 or 81,020 including attempts from before I finished building the level
List Placement: N/A
Personal Placement: Genuinely have no clue, it could be top 20 or not top 50 and either way I wouldn't really be surprised. I built the level and my old copies were far harder, but at the same time I got incredibly unlucky and verifying a level this hard was really stressful and mentally challenging for me. I'll say harder than arcturus easier than Midnight, but take that with a MASSIVE grain of salt.
Worst Fails: (keep in mind many percentages I have a lot of deaths to ended up getting nerfed, such as 91)

![[New Hardest] Snowbound by Amplitron (Extreme Demon)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/RqRPrriC-8I/mqdefault.jpg "[New Hardest] Snowbound by Amplitron (Extreme Demon)
New hardest and first main list in over 3 months! Super happy to have beaten this, it feels really good to beat something hard again. This level is really good, though it was occasionally frustrating to not get anywhere at all. I wish the section from 15% to 30% was a little easier as that was definitely the hardest part of the level and served as a huge wall for quite some time, though I did eventually get consistent at it. I got kind of unlucky with over 30 deaths in the second half which is the far easier half but I still enjoyed this quite a lot. Id definitely recommend this level if you have the cps and youre okay with long levels, I feel like this was a perfect level to do for my hardest.
Attempts: 10,669
Playtime: 21h 2m (switched to playtime tracker since death tracker is very inaccurate)
List Placement: 33
Personal Placement: feels closer to deimos/firework than saul but i havent beaten either so im not very reliable

grinded this pretty hard over the past 2 weeks or so and i was finally able to beat it today, very happy to have finally completed this. this level felt absolutely impossible and i never felt like i was anywhere close to beating it up until last night when i got 98%. i initially started playing this level around 5 months ago and spent about 21k attempts getting only 45 and 48-100 before dropping it. i certainly feel like i improved a ton at the game since then and im very proud of my performance on this level.
this level is very very good and satisfying but occasionally quite frustrating from 0 as well. not only is section between 30-48 the hardest part by quite a bit, but 2.2 also made a ton of cube timings harder which especially buffed the 39 cube. i still think this is a great level and i recommend it to people who want to improve but be warned that sometimes its very easy to just get stuck in the first half.
