Wcropolis is one of the more well-known unrated 1.9 levels. Granted this is mainly because of WcropoliX, but Wcropolis is a fairly popular level in its own right with over 400000 downloads and 32000 likes as of August 2025.
Gameplay-wise Wcropolis is HEAVILY based on tight wave spam and ship corridors. By "heavily" I basically mean nearly all of the level is wave spam or slow straightfly. Each part on its own is pretty inoffensive, though I hate the part from 45-55 where it's one long spam corridor with horrendous gameplay transitions. The transition at 80 makes me want to reinstate slavery. However... The last jump is a fucking war crime. I'm confident that shit is a frame perfect on 60hz because I managed to die there 4 times from 0 and over 15 times from 0 on a copy. It's gotta be ragebait.
The visuals (and name) take inspiration from Acropolis by Zobros albeit they are a lot more simplistic. The level maintains the same consistent style and monochromatic nature, which definitely makes Wcropolis kinda just blend in and feel repetitive. Nonetheless I think it's decent for 1.9 and its simplicity has helped it age well.
I do want to see this shit get rated despite how fucking nightmarish some of the gameplay is.
I find this level weirdly good. Scratches a similar itch to unintentional settings in games, like PacMan's integer overflow stages or Minecraft's farlands. It feels like we've clipped out of bounds in Acropolis. It's quite the fever dream level, weirdly organic in some parts, but also mechanized, but still with that Acropolis undertone. It's so weird!
