✦ Significance
I started this level as a non-serious project in October last year, trying my hand at 1.9 for the first time.. little did I know that this would become my most ambitious project I have ever taken on, and is by far the most amount of work, effort, time, and soul that I have ever put into ANY project of mine, even including non-gd projects.

✦ Creative Direction
I really leaned into the experimentation and “brainstorming” aspect of the level’s theme. Early on as I built this level I was very new to the 1.9 editor- I found 1.9’s limitations to be an enticing challenge, and one that felt even more rewarding to overcome than building on main GD. So I tried many techniques and styles throughout the production of this level, representative of a “brainstorm”. I further refined and followed this theme into the idea of “brain” and “storm”, fleshy parts and techy or stormy ideas etc. I hope that these ideas are something people can see in the final version of the level :3

✦ Gameplay
I’m sure that as usual, the gameplay and difficulty will be hit or miss for most people. The level has been described by some as mostly second half heavy (even though I only died like 3 times past 40), but I hope if some people decide to play it that it is somewhat enjoyable.

[1.9] my part in Lunaphobia by Jakalope

EliseCat 2026-07-31 | This part features the star signs of all the creators of the level :)

This was actually finished about 6 months ago, however Jakalope asked me not to showcase it as he wanted it to be a surprise for when the level releases (which had like, 5% left to be decorated, but hey people get busy what can you say).
Now that the level is done, I can upload it to my channel :3

// DESC:
Built this level over the course of a week, fueled by pure spite and hatred at the current rating system. I had planned to make full use of the drop and make the level longer than it is, but I also noticed that medium-length levels get rated super easily these days so it would probably be best for me to cut it short.

Updated and added a lot of visual elements, more click indicators, and some slight tuning of gameplay/fixes throughout the level.

I had planned to release this update at the same time as an announcement of a new NoNG song made specifically for the level, but the first artist got busy with real life stuff and a backup was unable to as well at this time unfortunately.

[1.9] my part in Curare by royen

EliseCat 2026-03-25 | 11.9k objects

one of my most intricate decorations to date, and some of my best work on 1.9 so far

the sync in the video might be slightly off, my headphones are a bit whack.

disclaimer: decoration in this video is still subject to further changes, the final version that will be seen in the full level might have a few adjustments made to it if necessary

HYPER PARADOX 100% // (new hardest sorta?)

Level: Reverence
Creator: Woom (and more)
Attempts: like 2k to 5k idk
ID: 63433024
Difficulty: Insane or extreme demon, I can't really tell because of how fast I beat it so I might be biased towards insane but many people would say its extreme.

RAGNAROK // 60%

EliseCat 2022-05-04 | Not much progress from last time LOL but I'm getting back into it again and trust me I'm getting REALLY consistent now

Expect more progress soon, although school assignments are at a high so updates will probably be irregular

TRAVERSE THE VOID // showcase

EliseCat 2022-01-19 | My solo memory extreme demon, Traverse the Void, is done. I know I could have done a lot more to it in the past month, but I decided for the sake of my sanity and how often I was failing to make something I couldn't that I was happy with this result as my first full solo level (ignoring the fact that The Exodus exists).
