"Necropolis" 100% [Insane Demon] by IIINePtunEIII

I thought this would be a fitting successor to Acropolis, but my goodness, this level is so unfun. I wanted to beat it in one day (under 12 hours), so yes, I stupidly put over 600 attempts in a single 3-hour session. First, this level looks pretty ugly for today's standards. I can't hate on the decoration too much since this level is indeed pretty old, but nonetheless, the decoration makes the level somewhat boring. Second, and more importantly, the gameplay is quite janky. This is not a very well-balanced level, with the main chokepoint coming at 66-73%; and, I hate chokepoint levels (see Poltergeist). (1) The ship section from 5-8% isn't really that hard, but for some reason, the hitboxes of the blocks feel kind of random. For example, I would fly into the first pillar expecting the hitboxes to fix my position in place, but I would often clip into the pillar and die halfway inside the block. (2) The ball section from 15-19% is easily the hardest ball section for me. I died so many times to the half spike from 17-18%, and nothing I tried on the three orbs right before the spike helped me get consistent. (3) I'm going to bundle the memory cube sections from 19-30% and 37-48% into one bullet point. WHAT IS THIS GAMEPLAY? It's not hard – in fact, these sections are quite easy and consistent – but what is the point of this? This is not what I would call "fun gameplay". (4) The ship section from 30-37% is honestly the most fun and consistent part of the level. No notes. (5) The ball and mini-cube section from 48-55% is also quite fun, but I died an embarrassingly high amount of times to the double spikes at 53%. (6) The chokepoint from 66-73% honestly gets pretty consistent, but the timings are still so unforgiving. The first ship-into-ball snippet is especially challenging. (7) The final ship and ball sections from 87-94% are not difficult per se, but it was definitely challenging for me under pressure. I had deaths at 74x2, 76, 78, 82, 83x2, 88, 91, and 92%. TL;DR: This was not a very fun level for me (mostly since I suck at chokepoints), but I am very happy to have beaten it. I do not regret playing this level in the slightest. "Necropolis" complete, 2435 attempts.
