Viking Arena is the second level of Geometry Dash Meltdown and imo, it is the best level of this spinoff game.

First of all, the level starts with a sinister dark cube part that fits very well with the predrop of the song. At 7% you see a particle for a split second that clues you in you need to jump for a key for the first coin - I wish this was better indicated but I guess it’s fine as an example of how keys / invisible gameplay can be used.

The ship at 27% is very memorable with the dragons flying everywhere and the circular obstacles / moving walls. The cube at 45% does a good job of building anticipation for the second drop. I’m not a fan of the repeat Base After Base second coin but it does a good job of showing how layers can become visible when the player passes through them.

The second drop ship at 63% is absolutely epic and always gets the adrenaline pumping.

Then finally you have the highlight of the level - the final cube at 81%. A lava wall of dragons chases after you with additional dragons flying overhead. I remember thinking this was the coolest thing I had ever seen in GD the first time I played it.

In retrospect, Viking Arena doesn’t seem that impressive, but you have to remember this was after months of static 1.9 levels. As a result, I think this level was amazing for its time and a lot better than most of the 2.0 levels that followed

probably top 5 robtop level for me, even with it's easy difficulty it still manages to fit the energy of the song really well, especially in the climax. i love this one a lot.
