The greatest level in Geometry Dash, and I don't see this ever changing anytime soon. This level feels like the essence of this game distilled into a single level.

For one, it perfectly takes Geometry Dash's roots as a rage platformer and cranks the nerves and intensity up to 11, utilizing both its gameplay and visuals for perfect tension and release throughout the level. Not only does it call back to its platformer identity, but also its rhythm game identity by being the perfect visual synesthesia to the song it is using for the level- this is what this SHK's song would look like if it were a GD level, and no other work could properly do the song the justice it deserves. Lastly, it takes Geometry Dash's abstract artstyle and twists it into a new, demonic form- a novel style at the time- as well as being an excellent demonstration of both Funnygame's technical ability, and how far he was able to push this game while it still being recognizably Geometry Dash.

It's quite a shame FunnyGame fell off when 2.0 rolled around, however with how boundless and expansive this level is, it makes sense that the update that allowed the limits to be further pushed would result in what would be the second, less impressive half of FunnyGame's time as a creator. I certainly miss this sort of work from him, but I think that's what makes his 1.9 work so special- that defiance can be seen in each one of his levels, and seeing him tear down the walls of the editor and molding them into increasingly impressive forms.
