5 Hard Levels I’ve Beaten Recently

  Haven’t been posting nearly as many level completions as I used to, so I thought why not do 5 hard ones I’ve beaten as recently as yesterday! All of these were done on my iPhone 8, and they’re all Hard Demons or harder.

Starting from easiest to hardest, we begin with...

Blitz Vortex, by Wolfkami

An Insane Demon collab with Wolfkami and Lazerblitz. Despite this being ranked as an Insane Demon, it’s really more of a Medium/Hard, at least for most people. I had a pretty tricky time with it, but it was mostly that first 16%. After that, everything up to the dual is basically free.

The coins are easy and while there are the occasional timings, the only difficult section are those first ships and ufo’s. They’re incredibly annoying and ate up my attempts like crazy, which is why I had so many. The design of the level isn’t too bad, it’s actually pretty solid for early 2.0, but in of gameplay... it’s just bad. Idk who made the first 16% but whoever did it I despise. Wolfkami’s part after that isn’t too bad, just some slight ufo skill and memorization with a wave spam. Lazerblitz’s part after that until the drop is definitely the best part of the level. It’s actually fun, and not very difficult either.

I’d recommend this as a good starting Insane Demon however. Once you practice the parts that ARE difficult, you should not have much trouble. As for players who are more skilled and want to beat this, basically a free insane demon at Hard Medium Demon difficulty. Main reason I included this really was to show people an easier Insane.

In game rating: Insane Demon

Worst death: 92% but, you likely saw the first minute of the video if you watched it.

Hardest part: first 16% and the dual drop

Easiest part: 50% cube, 69% ship, 60% ball (but that first timing can be tricky)

And the second least hard one is...

Theory of OverTime, by OverZero

Okay now we’re getting into levels that I consider actually challenging. This is a Mid-Early 1.9 Demon that has a fair bit of memory, some timings, and a whole lotta luck. This level is made my OverZero, same person who’s made Ethereal Circles, which is a medium length 1.9 Hard Demon you may have heard of. I had a harder time with this more than I did with BlitzVortex, and that’s for two reasons.

Bruh this level inconsistent as hell. For the most part at least. The first cube is by far the hardest part, as it’s annoying to learn and the chain of orbs there are are very annoying to time. Although, once you DO know how to do it, it’s actually very fun and easy to get consistent with. The dual ship and cube following though, while technically easy, are very buggy and, well, inconsistent. The wave part is fairly easy, and the last ufo and ship require some memory but that’s really it.

No coins, just memory and timings and luck as I said. The song is banned sadly, as it’s pretty good for a GD level. Once you get consistent it’s pretty enjoyable, but I wouldn’t recommend it too much. If you’re looking for a fun level with some timings, stay away. If you don’t mind memory, annoying timings, and a whole lotta luck, this is just up your alley!

Honestly, any of the middle 3 can be swapped around a lot, since I had a similar amount of trouble with all of them. When I first beat ToO, I found that harder than this, but my opinion has changed since then. But the one right in the middle is...

Ice Hell Escape, by MineMario

THIS right here is one of those early update bullcrap memory demons we all know and hate.

Well... most of us do at least. I’ll be honest, I enjoyed almost every minute of playing this. It has a lot of memory in the first half, which is definitely a turn off for many people, but once you learn it, it’s just timings (which is the same for most memory levels tbh). Has some straight fly, tricky ball and ufo timings, cube sections that require learning, and surprisingly little bugs. This was updated in 1.9 for a new song and a couple visual effects, but that’s all I could see. I don’t know what the old song was.

Design is pretty standard for an old school demon, although I’m not sure what update it was released in. 1.6 or 1.7 i’d assume, because the secret way has a speed change.

Yes you heard me right, this level has a secret way around 40%. Here’s the video for it:

Only reason I don’t have video of the secret way, is because I actually haven’t been able to pull it off. The timing needed to enter the ship portal is VERY difficult for me, plus I beat it before the secret way was found out. Overall though, this level isn’t AS bad as it looks. Memory, timings, and I overall really enjoyed it.

This one was just bullsh*t

Mystic Impact, by Rabbitical

This level’s been on my radar for a little while now. I knew it was a 1.9 demon but I didn’t know much else about it. Then, I set myself a goal last week or so. I’m currently working on trying to beat every demon on iFresternoch’s early 1.9 demons list, and it’s going well. Have 3 finished on the main list and 14 on the honorable mentions list. Mystic Impact is one of those, and was the one I completed most recently.

What I did NOT expect, was for this to be as annoying as it was. The first cube is mostly memory and timing based, and the wave is mostly skill, but is also pretty blind at some points too. The UFO following, you have to know where to press and it only works half the time. The 50% ship will just have the slopes not cooperate half the time, and the final ship was hell. The duals however, were pretty fun. I didn’t expect this to take nearly as long as it did, almost 900 attempts for me. And if you saw the video, I got very unlucky.

The design still holds up well I think. It looked great in 1.9 and still looks good in my eyes today. The gameplay is alright on paper but in execution is infuriating. No parts are that too hard really, but it was just SO annoying! I don’t recommend this level for any reason. However, the final level is the exact opposite...

In game rating: Hard Demon

Personal rating: Hard Demon

Difficulty Rating: 4.5/10. Memory, timings, bugs, bullcrap hitboxes, wave and ship skill, luck, muscle memory, extremely annoying.

Enjoyment: 3/10

Level ID: 4897287

World Rank: 78th

Attempts: 894, but a couple hundred are fairly old and most were spent at the beginning

Worst death: 94% and many times right behind that

Hardest part: last ship and wave

Easiest part: duals

Favorite part: duals

Least favorite: all the mine cube sections and ship parts

One of my favorite levels of all time, as well as what is likely my biggest achievement to date.

Game Time, by SimilarAMZ

This, HOW, and Snow V2 are probably my favorite levels in the game. Game Time is fun, looks AMAZING, the gameplay is unique, and it’s really difficult! The waves and ship sections in particular gave me lots of trouble. It’s also my first 2-player demon (excluding Mastergame) that I have completed. I didn’t encounter any bugs, and the gameplay alternates between fairly easy and very difficult at times.

First cube is easy, and then from the first 2 player part until the light bot part is pretty difficult. After that, the next hard part is Last Egg Alive, since it has a few tricky timings that killed me a fair few times. Click Drag Type is free, it’s also really fun. Pwong is the hardest part of the level for me, and it didn’t help that my 2-player controls were mirrored. So holding left meant it went right, which took me a while to get used to. Spewer is all about managing how much you float and the I in It is another difficult wave section with an unconventional icon used. That last jump is insanely easy to mess up too.

My worst death though was at 69% though! Albeit twice. Nearly a minute long fluke, and I was over the moon about it. This level is difficult for 3 main reasons. The memory is insane, the level once learned still is difficult, and it’s an endurance test. Not as much of one as say Phases for example, but 3 minutes is nothing to sneeze at. But overall, I would HIGHLY recommend this level! In my opinion it’s hands down one of the best in the entire game. You just need skill, patience, and the willpower to learn and endure the whole thing.

•Hardest part: last wave, first mini ship, impossible game, p w o n g

•Easiest part: click drag type

•Favorite part: click drag type, exit path, spikes tend to kill you, light bot, crazy traker, heart star

And that’s all for today! Some honorable mentions that I considered showing were

•Ditched Machine

•Torrential

•Jawbreaker

•Dry Fake

•The Colour Factory

Didn’t choose any of those cuz A.) They were a little too easy like for Colour Factory, and B.) I just thought they weren’t as interesting. Dry Fake is a buffed memory version of Dry Out, you all know Jawbreaker and Ditched Machine, Torrential is an old memory and timing demon by the creator of PG Clubstep, and Colour Factory is an early 2.0 level that while not bad, isn’t very interesting. I felt like I had a fair bit to say about the 5 I presented in this post, and hopefully some of you will try a few of them out.

See y’all next time, and have a good day!
