I initially beat this with Gecko on his account at the end of May, but due to an unexplainably lucky completion, the level being unrated, and little time before I had to go home, I didn't feel like rebeating this on my account. However, the level recently received a rerate after being unrated for many years due to being hacked, and I had no real reason to put off playing it. I did not enjoy playing it at all during a brief attempt at rebeating in May, but the level was a lot more enjoyable today, likely due to the lack of time pressure.
That being said, this level has a lot of very apparent gameplay flaws that you would only ever discover in a hacked verification. The predrop does have its chokepoints, but they are nothing too crazy. The issues come from a very poorly designed set of orb timings at 50% on Gecko's side, and a very awkward ship manoeuvre at 77% on my side. Both of these raise the difficulty of the level immensely, and really don't do the level any favours in terms of how fair it is to play. Everything else is totally fine but its a real shame that two things drag it down as much as they do.
Those issues aside, I did enjoy this a lot more coming back to it. That being said, I would recommend staying away from this level unless you have a lot of patience and are way above its skill level, as this would get really frustrating. This was definitely the only 2 player extreme demon that at no point during playtime did it feel like a completion was close.
Also the mic audio kinda bugs out near the end of the completion due to Shadowplay being stupid, sorry ðŸ˜
Song: Armageddon by Shtriga
Attempts: 1,471, plus 826 from the initial completion
Worst Fail: 87% on both completions
Enjoyment: 7/10
