Attempts: 13060 Thoughts: Bro, there is so much to unpack with this level, it's almost hilarious. Now initially, when I picked this level - I figured it would take a few days at most, considering well... I beat Moment, known for its fast-paced, flow style gameplay, I figured beating a gameplay equivalent level that's objectively easier should be a walk in the park. But man was I wrong. To be honest, the first few days of playing was looking up. I had already achieved a 56% run on my second day of playing, and 2 more days later, I fluked from 58% to 84% on my ~6000 attempt. The rate at which I was progressing deluded me into thinking I'd have it done within the week, and in general cases, that would be true. However... I died at 84% again, and again. And again. The reason? Nerves. After dying at 84% twice, it seemed that my brain immediately shut down, and became an absolute ship-wreck whenever I passed 43% simply because I thought that any attempt past 43% would be an ending attempt. My nerves continued to get worse the more I died there, and before I knew it, my hands would physically shake past 58%. It was just terrible, and quite possibly the biggest mental block I've ever experienced in any game ever. Two weeks after my 84% attempt, I finally broke past and got 90 percent. After that, I knew I had the level in the bag and beat it only 14 minutes later. Literally, the only thing holding me back was myself, and my stupid nerves. I knew I had the ability to do it, I just had to past that 84% wall that continued to haunt me until then. Anyways, enough about my feelings - let's talk about the level. (Pre-drop) 0 - 10: Learny, with a tricky late click to start us off, and awkward ship manoeuvre at 4% - but not too bad as its some good sync gameplay, with relatively tame gaps. Difficulty: 3/10 10 - 20: Probably the easiest part of the level, with sync gameplay that doesn't care about the precision of your clicks whatsoever as long as you click along with the beat. Difficulty: 1/10 (Drop) 20 - 31: Ok, this is where it starts getting stupid. So it starts off with sync gameplay for the first few clicks, however, there's an awkward two orb click, followed by a spider click which is rather difficult - then an awkward ship which leads to one of the first hard wave gaps that is very learny, and relies solely on click pattern with almost zero sight readability. Especially that spider at 29%. Difficulty: 6/10 31 - 43: Isn't too bad once you get the hang of it, and can become consistent, but there are some very terrible timings to consider for robot and ball. Then the double wave click is pretty learny, and quite tricky. Definitely a chokepoint of the level, with the same difficulty as 20 - 31 in my opinion. Difficulty: 6/10 43 - 58: ABSOLUTELY WORST PART OF THE LEVEL. First, 43 - 49 is doable, however, click late on the ufo please, before entering the ship. It forces the ship to be click sync. Second, 50 - 53, not too bad, though the wave is pretty difficulty but doable. But then, 54 - 58, THIS TAKES THE CAKE FOR BEING THE AHH-EST PART YET. Look, 54-55, there a ball click with such a terrible timing that expect dying to the saw a lot, then 56%... oh my days. you can literally die to two bugs that occur in this single percent. First, the green orb click - there's a small chance you turn into a ball, which changes your physics and shoots you into a saw, and even if you get past that - THERE'S A CHANCE the robot won't jump despite clicking wherever you land. like c'mon bro. then 57-58 is doable, just don't be stupid like me and die there heaps. Difficulty: 9/10 or 10/10 58 - 100: free. literally free. Even though I've died in this segment over 25 times, its free if you don't have a mental block or whatever. Difficulty: 5/10 (biased for me cause of 84%) Anyways, thanks for reading my rant - and yeah DUB. All hardest imo: 1. Moment 100% (Extreme Demon) (Top 635 on AREDL as of completion) • NEW HARDEST!
