This level is quite awkward. Because of that it's harder than nine circles, in my opinion. The actual wave sections are a little bit tighter but the fact the attempts are more is because of the awkward moments. The lack of an ending makes the level feel a lot less nerve racking to complete, as I almost choked at the end of nine circles, no joke. The predrop is very easy. The only complaint I have is the complaint of every 1.9 level, which is if you do X then you die and that's unfair. Well, it's not that unfair. The level has more fakes than nine circles, which is another point that makes it harder. Again, I do think it's a little harder. Not that much harder though, but definitely deserved of the Hard Demon rating. I felt relieved when I beat it. Since the microphone was not working, I have to recount what I said, which was "Oh my gosh, don't play this level. GGs." Don't take it seriously, though, despite its shortcomings this is a solid level.
