Hello guys, I recently beat the doom gauntlet and had a very fun time doing so
I got to beat some really fun demons and I now have 2 more hard demons under my belt. All of the hard demons I have beat are: Nine circles, Lost legends, Nowise, Astro agent, and Darkness keeper, and the great thing is that I only consider 1 of those levels hard demon difficulty (Nine circles), so I just racked up 4 free hard demons. Anyway, in this post I will he talking about each level of the doom gauntlet and I will be reviewing them.
Hope you enjoy

I'm sorry about having the link there instead of the video playing, but for some reason amino won't let me insert the video here and it just comes up with an error. Amino lets me Insert other videos but it won't let me do it with some of my videos. If you dont know what I mean, then there is a video playing below this text. Also, sub to me if you want.
This is what I mean, amino wont let me put some of my videos in a playing video format, so I have to instead paste the link.

This level was very fun to play, and even though it was the first level in the gauntlet, it took me the 2nd most amount of attempts out of the levels in the gauntlet. The predrop was annoying at first but after I got consistent at it it was very fun to play. The drop is also fun to play, although the wave at 31% is fucking stupid and it took me way too long to get consistent at, it's not even hard, it's just easy to die to. The 45% wave also sucks, I kept on forgetting to spam right away so I would just die at the transition. The 2nd part of the drop at about 50% is also fun, but the ship at 50 sucks ass, it took me so many attempts to find a consistent way to do it so that I get enough height but dont go too far up at the upside down portal. The rest of 50 to 70 is fun to play. The 70 ship gave me electrodynamix vibes, and I'm not sure if I loved that ship or hated it because of the fact it reminded me of electrodynamix. After that ship the level is free. Overall, it's a fun level but I was a bit frustrated with the level because I suck at the game. I think this shiuld have been the 2nd level in the gauntlet and the 1st should have been buried angels. I didn't bother to get any coins in this level so I will not talk about them.

This level is very satisfying to play and it has amazing sync, just like most of f3lixsram's levels. This level has a great balance of great gameplay and great visuals. The ending of the level made me lag (even with ldm) but that could have easily been fixed if I turned off smooth fix. I had a mostly fun time with this level as the difficulty is consistent, I was only frustrated at the level when I was trying to beat it after my 96 fail, because then I just wanted to get it over with. The first ship is the hardest part of the level, and even then I'm not sure if the beginning is easy demon difficulty. 50% of ny deaths were at the first ship so I grew to dislike the beginning ship, but the rest of the level us great. This level should have been the first level in the gauntlet as it is the easiest, and it should have been rated 9 stars, but I'm not complaining, I'll take my extra 1 star.

I had a surprisingly easy time with this level. At first I was scared of this level because I it being hated for its annoying gameplay, but the level has been updated to be more enjoyable (and its nerfed). I there used to be a cube part where the hide and show player triggers are slammed, but the hide and show player trigger spam has been removed from the level. As well as this, the last part of the level has been changed so that some of the pave parts have been replaced with a ship part. Overall, this level was pretty easy, and it was just a matter of getting to 70%. I fluked my way past the cube and spider part, so I did the rest of the novel pretty easily. I also got all e couns in the level since they were pretty easy to get. The first coin was the hardest and I died there a few times in normal mode where I got past it once (and beat the level). The 2nd coin in the spider part was very easy to get and I struggled more on the 2nd half of the spider part. I could not find the last coin so I had to look it up, but it's at the last wave in the level and it's pretty easy to collect. I only collected it in practice mode once, so I could have easily died to the last coin in normal mode but I didn't. I dont usually collect coins but in this level I decided to because they were easy to collect and they went really complex. NY favourite part of the level, is the first wave it's very fun to play and it gave me mechanical showdown wave part vibes, I didnt like mechanical showdown when I beat it but I loved the wave part in it. My least favourite part was the first ship because the first coin was a little annoying to get, but I loved the rest of the level.

At first I wasn't sure if i would be able to beat this level at all because of the lag this level, even with ldm. But then... I did something magical... I turned off smooth fix. It made the level actually playable. After I turned off smooth fix I had a relatively easy time with the level. The beginning 25% of the level is easy, but also easy to die to. The wave at 25 was hard at first, especially the 3x part, but I got consistent at it pretty quickly. The shop part right after was also hard for me but I got consistent at it very quickly. The robot part was probably the most annoying part of the level for me, and it took me a while to get consistent at.some of the robot jumps have to be very small in order to survive. The 2nd fight with the boss was tough at first, and I couldn't do the spider consistently, but I got consistent at the spider part and I just want to say, it is really fun to play and it has to be my be ny favourite part if the level. The UFO part is pretty easy, however the ball part was really annoying. I never died at the ball part in normal mode but it was really annoying to play in the copyables, and it is a lot harder than it looks. The last ship is also tricky and I died there once in normal mode, but you just need to make sure you need to stay in the middle, and then stay on the bottom half of the screen at the very end of the level. The level ends off with the monster eating the player. I thought it would have been great to have this level at the end of the gauntlet instead of darkness keeper, because it would be really cool to see the player beat the bosses in the first four levels, but the be rated by the nowise boss at the end of the gauntlet and therefore, be defeated. Overall, this level was very fun to play and I think this is the best level in the doom gauntlet.

This level was fun to play and I was a lot easier than I thought it would be. I dreaded this level and thought it would take me 3000+ attempts but it took me only 589. The gameplay was fun and I enjoyed most of it. One part I hated was 20 - 25% as 90% of my deaths were there. The coin was really frustrating to get, and I only got it because I couldn't do the non coin path either. The black hole part was really cool and the gameplay was so fun. The robot part was very annoying to learn, but after I got consistent at it, it was pretty fun. The 2nd boss fight is also fun. The 2nd boss fight looked really hard at first but it's actually pretty easy and very fun to play after you learn it. The last cube is... well... it's there, it's easy and you actually have to try to die there in order to actually die (yes ik I died there I suck). Overall, pretty cool level. One thing that really surprised me is the levels really low object count. I would have expected this level to have just under 80k objects and for it to lag my phone to oblivion without ldm, but it only has 30k objects, and it still looks great.

Overall, I had a fun time beating the doom gauntlet, and a surprisingly easy time as well. The demon gauntlet is harder in my opinion and it doesnt contain any hard demons, just a hard medium demon, whereas the doom gauntlet has 2 hard demon, but neither of them are worthy if that title.

Only reason I played this level is because I saw Brandon Larkin play this and it looked really easy for a hard demon, turns out, it was. The only hard part of the level was the UFO at 50, cuz i cant spam with my thumb, and i was too inconsistent with 2 fingers. All you had to do was learn the tricks in the level and you are set. I knew most if the tricks in the level because I from the video. The only part I had to learn was the ball part near the end, and it took me a good amount of attempts to learn, but its pretty easy after you what to do. The level was mostly fun to play, but I HATED the UFO part, and there were a few other annoying things about the level that I won't go into detail about, but the level was decent. I would recommend anyone who wants to beat their first hard demon, but arent actually skilled enough to beat a hard demon. This is a free demon so the fact that it is a hard demon is beyond me. The only explanation I can think of is that it didn't get enough votes from players to change the difficulty, so it just stayed as a hard demon (levels are rated hard demon by default if they are rated demon).
