In my review on Old Lunar Ocean i talked about something that i call " fake timings " , an imput or group of imputs that doesn't look like a timing yet are one , i also said how much i hate them ! I thought these were only a 1.9 thing yet i found a ton of them in a random 2.2 featured level !
These fake timings are everywhere and completely ruins the level ! I'm not a huge fan of normal timings but i'm ok with them because it's one way like any other to create difficulty in this game and they work constantly , when you do the timing you live , when you don't you die . But with fake timings , not only you are unable to see them , practice mode or not , but they also create inconsistentecy in the level because sometimes they will just not work ! You are supposed to do a timing yet sometimes you can get away by not doing them and die when you do , this is unacceptable !
The rest of the gameplay is not flawless either because some parts are buggy !
I also have to say when things are positive and the deco is ok but it doesn't save the level ! What saves it are the few good parts , which are really good
Here i am , 50 reviews ! To celebrate this milestone i decided to review my latest demon completion , my 114th , Shock Therapy by Edooox !
The has amazing gameplay , probably one of the best i ever played so far , visuals are ok , nothing to special .
There are some weird imputs but it's a really good level overall !
Happy 50th review to me and happy birthday GD 🥳
1st level by real storm is the oldest level still on the servers , with an id of 128 ! It was uploaded 9 hours after the game came out on the 13th of August 2013 !
The gameplay has a few boring parts and is far from being the best thing in the world and the deco ... There isn't any of it !
I won't judge the deco since i can't judge something that doesn't exist but i can judge the gameplay , which i already did but we gotta keep in mind that this level is basically recent tab 2013 edition so we can't be too severe , it's also his first level so yeah ...
Galactica is a pretty unknown free demon , out of all the free demon i reviewed thus far , it's the first bad one !
The deco is pretty good , this level's problem is the gameplay
Just like i always do when i beat a demon , i left a comment on this thing , here i said that one word could perfectly describe this level : broken !
The gameplay is broken as [ insert something nice here ] ! I pretty much had the same experience as AngelEffect with Petal Dance , every attempt , a new hitbox appeared ! The beginning is boring and the ending is 3 times harder than the rest of the level !
Some other parts are good tho
The Towerverse is the first mythic level in GD history as well as my new hardest platformer ^^
The level is stunning visually , has awesome songs/sfx and an interesting lore
For the gameplay tho , i have more to say : i first thought it would be medium demon difficulty since the beginning is more of an endurance thing until i stepped into " the montain tower " where almost all of the difficulty is located . This section creates an imbalance overall and it's abysmal to play ! It's filled with alien gimmicky jumps , just why ?! And also , the underground section is a joke !
Other than that it's really good . I'm so happy to have beaten it and i recommend everyone to try it !
chill out is the oldest rated level still on the servers with an id of just 146 !
In terms of deco , there really wasn't anything you could do in 1.0 however , at the time , seven official levels already existed , RobTop set the bar for deco in 1.0 and Darnoc failed completely ! What does it take to finish your structures ?!
For the gameplay , it's typical Darnoc , good ship and aweful cube yet the cube takes the majority of the level
It isn't a good level and it's a terrible way to start the rated levels !
I just reviewed Lunar Ocean but just for the fun of it , let's review the old version since Hyptell made an archived of it !
I already talked about the deco , it's good
The gameplay is divided into 3 sections and none of them work !
The pre-drop : boring as hell with what i call " fake timings " , ( it doesn't look like a timing but it is ) i hate those with every fiber of my soul !
The drop : way too difficult for a 5* ( i already explained why it is an issue for a map pack level ) and almost every portal is invisible , seriously ?! Special mention to the ufo part which is a total joke !
The after-drop : filled with the worst fakes you'll ever see !
In conclusion , thank god it got updated ! It was a typical Gelt level : nicely decorated but with horrible gameplay !
Lunar Ocean is the last level of the Electro pack , it was known for being under-rated and aweful to play , it played a major part of giving Gelt the reputation of being the worst gameplay creator of all time however in 2024 , he came back and updated it !
Is it better now ? Let's see !
The deco didn't change but that's ok since it was the only good thing about this level , it's not the best but really good for 1.9 !
In terms of gameplay , the drop was nerfed , mirror portals got removed , gravity portals were made visible and serval fakes were removed in the after-drop . This is enough to make the gameplay quite good ! The level is now enjoyable ! It still has flaws tho , the pre-drop is boring and the ufo is still a joke , but it's an insane improvement !
For the difficulty , the nerfs are enough to bring the actual difficulty to the rating ( 5* ) , before the level was closer to 8 which is not much of an issue but let's not forget that this level is in a map pack ! An UND ( under-rated non-demon ) level being in a map pack IS an issue for new players , so getting rid of it is a good thing ! ( Although , to be fair it was RobTop's fault and not Gelt's )
In conclusion , the level is now a good level !
Overture by Fault is second level of the fire gauntlet located between OuterSpace and First Race , it's one of those forgotten gauntlet levels , no one remembers this level yet it's in the first gauntlet in the game !
The deco is nice for very early 2.1 although not too ground breaking
The gameplay is fine but boring as hell !
This is an OND level ( overrated non-demon ) because it's rated 5* but feels closer to 3
In conclusion , it's an ok level
Tetrix is one of the most famous 9 stars in the game as well as one of the most popular XL level in the game , is it good ... Uh well ...
The level is 3 minutes and 6 seconds long , in order to have a good experience with such length the level must have different and entertaining parts , this is not the case here ! Both deco and gameplay get extremely repetitive extremely quickly !
The deco isn't innovative at all even at the time ( 1.9 )
The gameplay is boring and is made in such a way that any mistakes result in death , making a very frustrating experience
Overall , the level is a perfect 5/10 , do i recommend beating it ? Hell no !
