Level Review: Deception Dive

Oh boy it's been a while since I made a good post. The last time was like, what, July 16th?

Anyways I'll be reviewing a level that I'm trying.

D E C E P T I O N D I V E

(Thanks Illu nwn)

1) Rustam

Rustam's part is "understandable" (that was terrible word choice). It's not too easy, which is pretty unfair because is in the beginning of the level. But at least it's not later in the level so you don't rage as much. The two parts with that one-block wide straight fly are the only point where you'd die after you've practiced for a bit.

2) Zober

Zober's part is odd. I don't think Zober got the memo that they're making a demon. It has the difficulty of a three star level. I've only died there five times but that was when my mouse was slippery with S W E A T.

3) Zenthic

Zenthic's part is pretty easy too. The only part where I die is the transition from the wave to the ufo (as shown in the picture). You have to skim the bottom of the slope you you don't die instantly as the ufo. I don't know if that was intentional or just terrible gameplay.

4) AmorAMC

This is where it gets a bit fast. The ship movements are pretty tight which causes a few deaths here and there. The ufo requires a specific rhythm but when you get it it's pretty simple.

Fun Fact: As the mini ship you can fly over the spider portal and make it to the next part as the ship:

4) Platnuu

Oh. My. God. I'm not even gonna write this part because it's just so awful. I have around 4,000 attempts in total and about 1,500 were just from practicing this part. And still I've only past Platnuu's part 4 times. I've died there around 200 times already.

5) Sharks

If you somehow haven't ripped your head off and set your fingers on fire after Platnuu's part then you are greeted with the magical gift of Sharks's part. It's always a major relief for me when I reach his part. It's easy but it's still a fun way to transition to the drop.

6) Berke

Yay I've only made it here like three times. I've died at the wave twice. It requires the focus that's impossible to have after recovering from Platnuu's Hell Hole. The slopes themselves aren't the problem but the spikes are. They stick out and leave only half of the space left. The cube is somewhere you should never die. Then you get to the ship. It's a bit weird to transition to with all the gravity portals and such. If you make just one extra click, you'll die at 44% (which is my current record). Just make it through the straight fly at the end and now you're good.

7) LucasYecla99

Now we're in territory that I haven't yet reached in normal mode. This part is my favorite part of the level. Probably because it's the only fun part. It took me barely any attempts to master. I fly through this part every time (from start position of course). The only thing you have to focus on is the black orb in the cube dual. HIT IT AS LATE AS POSSIBLE!

8) Ryder

This part is pretty canc- *gets B E A N E D*. The spider is really awkward to play. The speed changes are in the worst places they could be, even being oF by a split second causes you to die. It's like jitterclicking why timing each click, ugh... The cube and the ship afterwards are pretty much like the spider except the deco changes for some reason. Btw the black orb after the three green orb barely works. You can click on it multiple times but it won't work!

9) Mazl

This part is pretty fun. The orbs aren't buggy, the sync is great, it's a decent part. The gameplay for the mini cube dual is copied straight out of The Caverns II. The wave is a bit tight and it requires consistency.

10) Krampux

Oh god. If you thought that I was mad at Platnuu, you have no idea what's coming up. This part is IMPOSSIBLE! The ball is buggy as hell and you can't even click half the time on the slope. The mini wave is tighter than Sonic Wave and the ship is too curvy. The robot is understandable but the ufo is weird. The main path doesn't even work half the time. I had to end up making my own pattern which only requires half the clicks and less effort. The small wave spam after can occasionally kill you.

11) Disp

Ok at this point your blood is pumping through your veins faster than the speed of light. The ball and spider segment is easy as balls. You don't even have to time your clicks. Just don't land on certain blocks as the ball. The robot is pretty simple. Just do three little taps and let the jump pad take you away. Just finish the last jump and make it to the end. DON'T FUCK IT UP.

Now you've made it.

Congratulations, you've just beaten one of the most inconsistent demons in history.

I have to end this post short because I'm starting to lose power.

Bye

P.S. I'm not going to have connection or power for weeks so I guess this is my last goodbye for now. The lights are flickering as I'm typing this last sentence.
