Alkaio 100% (finally) + some story behind this level

Finally, after fixing and nerf (first ship, mini wave, one spot on ufo that totally annoying (that red orb) and one piller that totally buggy (most asked and requested to fix by other player)) the level. I finally beat this level legitimately, becoming my 4th legit beated demon (The Nightmare, Verve, Affix and now Alkaio)

Okay you might think I’m cheating by nerfing the level, but it still the same difficulty as Darker Drop (or maybe harder than that) from now. The unerf version was really hard and buggy (after I play it quiet a lot) especially the mini wave and that UFO red orb spot (yeah that didn’t give us a chance to react and ruin that gameplay).

Plus.. this is legit one, the latest version on the server right now (Version 5 atm).

So I just want to have some history about this level.

ALKAIO

Little Scoty

Name Orgin

The name was inspired by Alkareize after I saw his logo quiet a lot. I had no idea but ended up making a level called Alkaio, but it just became one of my scrapped and abandoned level since I don’t have any idea to continue it.

Gameplay Inspiration

So when we talk about the gameplay, I made this gameplay after saw and play Supercalifragilistic by Jayuff. Which one of the most epic demon that don’t get epic. I was totally stunning and just literally follow the actual level gameplay until the first wave part.

However the drop one (Bossfight part with Charlie the Blob) was entirely made by me. I went crazy with the speed portal and UFO timing, I want a demon where the ufo wasn’t tooo much effected by gravity portals. I hate when there is tooo many gravity portals in ufo parts... it’s just totally crazy and annoying. So I went to use green org instead as timing gameplay and make it sync.

A demon can be bored with one game mode entirely, so I add with other game mode like spider and cube. Because that time I was think about demon level must be difficult plus I want a fun bouncy gameplay.

But now this demon was nerf a bit. There is no gameplay changes except for one transition part between mini wave to ship. Aka second mini wave after you enter the a ship part where there 2 green orb... I had to do that since there is no way react time to press that both, so don’t ask why it looks slide in that part. And one part with a red orb on ufo drop part..

Both part were added some safety blocks

Design Inspiration

So now can with design. First ball part was inspired from Deliquescence by Elistone (formerly known as CX Random) while the first cube + robot part were using some simple Chargeless effects (same effect that I did on my part in Arrival Century)

First ship part was randomly make, up into the rest of the level. There are some inspiration from LKH2001’s style like the last part.

The effect that I use in this level was Chargeless and Glyph Effect. There are some from Dew by Optical too.

Aw and the pinwheel effect... I know some people will triggered but that pinwheel was used in unique way, like it follow the player but with delay and it spin according to the beat as well as the block moving. All saw blade and the orb spinning stuff were also follow the same beat too (only for the bossfight part)

And now for the final part play my favourite one too :3

Charlie Da Blob

Charlie Da Blob was designed by me and with other some controversy with other amazing creator like... (can’t , but I know there some famous creator were commenting about it too) this is his final design.

I don’t what the purpose of me making this funny name but cute boss, maybe it have somewhat related to one of Optical’s level called Main.

Aw and the name, it was suggested by one of my friends in telegram. Originally I called it Glitz Blitz (one of my old friends furry character). But I’m afraid that he will mad about it so I ended up asking some of us to suggest it. So here the conversation (and I censored their name for safety and privacy)

Ps : Don’t mind about the Background....

Verification

At the moment where I finish this level, I couldn’t beat it, so I ask someone on discord if they could help me to it. The only person who dm me was CreatorWhril. They beat it when I was asleep, and that totally quicker than I thought. Like that night I ask them and next morning it’s already verified

After CreatorWhril it, I started to notice that there some visual bugs and many other. So I had to fix it in my computer and use no clip hack to do it until the 5th version. But then I tried to beat it :3

So that all what I can told the story about Alkaio, my first demon level ever I made. And honestly... I kept diying on the the ship part... like a lot...
