Nostalgic comeback to my old hardest demons!

When you look at my previous posts, you could easily see that they are mostly about beating demons and with every post, it all gets more repetitive. Most of them are almost no different than the others. They all are basically: level>attempts>opinion. So I wanted to change something in this post at least a tiny little bit.

A really long time ago, some more than a year I made my first ever post on this amino which was about my hardest demon. At the time I wasn't much experienced in writing something in such a large community and I was pretty nervous while posting it. The poll had four candidates for my proudest achievement:

Supersonic

Dark Travel

CraZy

The Furious

For me, They seemed pretty same in of difficulty, but in the end, supersonic won with almost 50% votes. I was a bit surprised by this, I personally thought Dark Travel was harder. It was much longer and some of the parts were hard for me at the time while beating it. Even after the hard time that all of the levels gave me, I kept being motivated. No matter how many times I died, I was still trying. In the end, I finally ended it with getting to the end in every single level.

So now, what I'm gonna do is:

I'm gonna tell how it felt like beating it for the first time, what do I think about the level overall and how much easier it got after all the time I got better at the game. I rebeated every single one of them, three recently and one some time ago, but not too long ago. I have a video of all of them.

So without more unnecessary talking, let's start.

#1 Supersonic

In-game rating: insane demon

Personal rating: hard demon

Decoration: 4/10

Gameplay: 6/10

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here we go, one of my first demons beaten with the mouse, at the time it was rated as a hard demon and me having already beaten some hard demons thought that this won't be much of a problem. Damn, I was wrong. This level contains a lot of hard ship parts and me being awful at the ship, made this level much worse. The non-ship parts of the level weren't too bad, I actually fluked this from gboy's ship to the end, it was a good reward for dying at that ship countless times.

For me, there isn't anything special in this level neither in deco nor gameplay, there's not much to say about it, except for that most of the gameplay is quite fun and after long playing this level, my vision gets a little bit blurry, because of the flashes.

I had this level in the to-do list for some time, but I just didn't want to bother doing it again. And then, when the coin update came I finally did what had to be done, I beat it again.

#2 Dark travel

In-game rating: hard demon

Personal rating: hard demon/easy insane demon

Decoration: 8/10

                    10/10 on high detail

Gameplay: 7/10

Definitely my favorite of all four here. That was my longest demon for a really long time, it's about 6.5 min so when you get to the very end your heart is probably beating so fast. Before this, my longest was lonely travel. This was my second travel level, because I didn't want to complete easier ones before for some reason. This took less time than expected, I didn't think that I would actually be able to complete it. I had a really hard time with dual mini-wave spam and few jumps in the robot part after. But thankfully in the end I died only three times after 69% before a successful attempt.

I just gotta say that this level is a real masterpiece, it's one of the few that actually feels like a travel and by that, I mean that every part in this level seems like an actual place. The look of the whole thing is awesome. Now about gameplay. I personally think Jonathan is an awesome decorator, but his gameplays are mostly not fun, just like in this level.

This was kinda like supersonic but for a longer period of time. I was playing this level from time to time and I just got bored after one good attempt, but now I actually tried it for real. I had much easier time now than a long time ago, obviously. I was getting through dual pretty consistently and the only problem were the coins, especially the ship part where you have to get 15 mini coins to get the skull. I probably am the only one here mad and greedy enough to die ON PURPOSE at 98% only because I missed the third coin. It was worth it tho lel

Another one!

#3 CraZy

Personal rating: easy insane demon

I first trying this level, it was mostly about dying at first timing parts, wave spam and that weird dash orbs part. At least the good thing while playing it was the fact that I fluked the heck out of the last part of the level, I didn't die there once. I don't even know how that happened, I probably just got lucky. Even when this took quite a lot of time to beat, I had much more trouble with CraZy II. Hopefully CraZy III won't take that much time, if I even will be able to do it.

You can see that this demon looks like some kind of a cartoon. The decoration of the level is meh for me. Also, I don't know why it got an epic feature when magma bound didn't. I don't think it's good enough, at least for me. Sometimes I don't understand rating. Even though it's deco is decent, the gameplay of it is mostly trash like real trash. That's the thing I don't like about this and the second CraZy level. I wonder how fun will gameplay in CraZy III be, hopefully good.

I had more fun beating it now. But I still didn't like some parts of the level that I was not too consistent at. This time I didn't get lucky enough to do the last part first try, I died there a few times, but it didn't change anything. I still beat it.

The Last one!

#4 The furious

In-game rating: hard demon

Personal rating: easy hard demon/hard medium demon

Decoration: 7/10

Gameplay: 9/10

This level, this is where my first 99% fail happened. I that I wasn't even sad when that happened, I was happy that I actually got there. But that changed very quickly, I was getting really tired of this level, and after some time it was really frustrating. I guess the good thing about it was that every time I got past the first ship I automatically got to the second part of the level.

I like how the level looks, all the colors work together very well and a block design is great. I like knobbelboy's style, with all rainbow colors. I'm surprised he didn't build a knobbelboy wave in it. The best thing about this level is definitely level sync with the music, it made the timings easier. Whole gameplay in the first half is awesome, sad that I can't say it about the second half. It was close to being terrible, the transition from ufo to cube was buggy as hell and I couldn't find any way to do it consistently.

This is the level that I rebeated quite some time ago, but I still how it was to do it. So obviously I had less hard time than a year ago and I was even more consistent with the first ship in the level, the second half was still stupid after all this time. The most important thing is that I had much more fun playing this level again. Also, because of all the stupid recording fails I beat this four times, which is impressive, I guess.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

End thing

As you can probably tell, I got much better at the game since that poll. To be honest, I didn't expect to be as good as I am now, I didn't even think about doing any extreme demon and now here I am with four of them. I have to say that it all wouldn't have happened if not all your that you gave me. So, in the end, the best thing for me to say is-

THANK YOU! :)
