Adelucid may be the best list demon out there currently. It has one of the most unique approaches to both its gameplay and decoration I've ever seen out of the top demon scene. This song is most definitely a weird one to work with, having quite expansive and serene instrumentation alongside gritty, neurofunk-esque production, but MannyHeffley made it work.

The gameplay is mainly what represents the drums, and by and large it does an excellent job of this through a mix of movement and click sync. MannyHeffley's approach to click sync is unique, as not all of the clicks are actually synced, but when combined with the icons' movement (particularly the low gravity dual in the buildup) pretty much every percussion noise is accounted for. All of this is done without any particular use of flashy effects or high speeds to convey the song's energy; it's purely done through movement, clicks and usage of dual portals where many sounds overlay each other at once in the song, and I absolutely adore this approach because of how strongly connected it is to the song while still being open enough to allow for the expansive, sweeping structures MannyHeffley uses.

The decoration is also absolutely fantastic. The trumpets, saxophones and piano that make up the bulk of the song's melody feel expansive and delicate, almost reminiscent of royal fanfare, and this comes through in the massive swathes of brush-like layers that make up the level's structures. The structures, foreground and background decoration all do this at points throughout the level (albeit not all three at once in order to preserve some separation between gameplay and decoration, which is nice), and the pulsing, organic shape of the layers of colour makes the whole thing feel like waves of fabric or sunlight rippling through tree leaves. I especially love the background in the drop's second half; the huge streaks of reddish-orange feel like petals or an abstraction of a sunset, and contrast nicely with the mainly pink structures. The whole level has a sense of grandiosity to it due to the slight camera zoom and the sheer size of most of the assets used that works really well with the aforementioned melodic elements of the song, and the whole experience is genuinely mesmerising.

This is a rare case where I have nothing bad to say about a level. Granted, this is too hard for me to play and properly judge the gameplay's playability, but regardless this is my favourite list demon of all time and I would recommend it for Mythic. Fantastic work from MannyHeffley and I am incredibly excited for their next projects.

The only extreme demon to be made entirely by one person, even the song. Once again, Manny proves that he is a master of his craft. this level can only be described as a masterpiece.
