fun facts about xuser morelike luser by akunakunn

• im not a luser

• i hate this level and i hate akunakunn

• for a long time i had the top comment on this level "like this comment if you hate akunakunn" which ratioed the actual level in terms of like count. so whos the real luser now huh akun

• akun originally conceptualized this level by randomly asking me on discord one day what my least favorite newgrounds song was. i had no idea what he was planning at the time so i gave a half-assed response thinking of this one random acid notation song that i heard once and thought was kinda unpleasant

• this level has some of the most hapharzardly gameplay ever put together. i mean especially for the last part akun basically said he made it by spamming blocks and adjusting it until it was barely possible. he couldnt even playtest it properly because the level lagged for him. also the entire thing was literally built in the span of four days

• i was the first victor of this level

• except no i wasnt really, cuz i was the original chosen verifier for the level so this is as far "first micktor" as you can get. i dropped the level because of how truly anti-me it was and how some parts were completely broken in practice mode and i really did not feel like sorting through everything. thankfully moistyjc (the next chosen verifier) is the goat and somehow had the mental fortitute to actually learn the entire level, fix all the bugs, and ultimately be a winner where i was a luser. huge shoutouts to them

• the level does have one of the most grueling curves that i have ever gone through but its also like shockingly consistent. it takes really long to get there but eventually the level does actually just click, turning from a jumbled mess of nonsense gameplay into something that you can actually parse through and have fun playing. whether or not the grind of learning the level is worth it depends from person to person though. I think building something like this in four days is genuinely one of the most impressive creating achievements that i have ever seen in this game, especially because halfway through building it akun actually crashed and lost a lot of progress. people who can create things fast will always mystify me because even just something like the layout of this would probably take me two weeks minimum. like yeah akun has made levels that look better than this but four days? holy fuck

• in hindsight its kinda lucky that i didnt put a lot of thought into the question of what my least favorite ng song is bc like. i dont actually dislike this song this song that much. i have this thing where a song i initially find unpleasant will actually become more tolerable if i listen to it repeatedly, and thats exactly what happened with this level. its not something i would ever listen to on my own obv but within the context of this level's visuals and gameplay... i dont mind it at all. the level actually fits the song super well, with a highlight being how the erratic speed changes at the drop represent the irregular drum patterns. akun himself has said that he enjoys this song a lot and i think thats very apparent in how he carries the chaotic energy of the song throughout this level

• The era of the comment ratio is long gone and now the level has almost twice as many likes as my comment. so i guess akun had the last laugh here

• i love this level and i hate akunakunn

• im a luser

somebody catch my breath...

just one of the most fun insane demons ever

loltad remains goated

fun freeform gameplay, great designs and effects, unique and well-executed structural theme (symmetry). This level is a hit on all fronts

Amazing level.

I first fell in love with this level when I saw a preview on twitter showing the spider part. It's like a variety of really cool deco ideas mashed together to create something that is honestly pretty cohesive. Standout parts would be the 34% cube maze and the last spider for me, but the entire level is great.

Onvil layouts always deliver, using unique gameplay elements that only serve to enhance the playing experience. This level has a bunch of stuff that I thought I would dislike, such as the mirror portal and the fact that it starts with a super tight ship filled with fake orbs. However, both of these things ended to be be completely enjoyable and consistent!
