Can't let go

I think everyone did. To be fair, it’s kinda hell, what with that **supremely** confusing second dark section and the triple-spike near the end.

To be honest, I didn't struggle at all on CLG, even the first time I beat it. I guess I'm a singularity. #Dry out, on the other hand...

You are a singularity.

ig its a little hard.spoeaking cause im in a way still a begginer.

Same

Same

So true

same

Gotta be clubstep. I think it took 9 year old me about 10 months to beat that shit, now I can beat it first try pretty much every time, and I don’t even play GD that often any more

good for a nine year old

the fu- i beat cataclysm when i was 10!

Jeez I’ve never seen a person 3 and a half million years old

r/unexpectedfactorial

well you're just insane then

it took me aprox 7 years to beat Horizon one of the easier easy demons

nah horizon is a fine easy demon

ye its an easy demon but first half of the level is insane-ish kind of, the robot and boss are demon difficulty

when i first started the game i thought deadlocked was completely impossible, couldn't even get past the first wave. now i can beat deadlocked in 1 attempt without even trying

I'm still trying to beat it. I have 65%...

You got this bro 🙏

The "I like this part" is killing me otherwise it's free lol

Same

Same, I just got 77% yesterday you got this

same, up until the 1 attempt part

Same, it took me half my life to beat Deadlocked, but now its barely a challenge for me lol

Im stuck at the first wave 🥲, i have never completed a demon

Damn. Been playing GD since 2016 and am only 20% through deadlocked, that space ship part after the fast wave I believe but I only have like 800 att in the level most from way back thrn

All the robtop demons

Hard demons. Back then my best hope was that I would maybe beat a hard demon someday

How long was your transition from easy to medium then medium to hard and then eventually extreme?

This is a fun question I beat my first Easy Demon September 22, 2021, it was the lightning road. I really liked jumping before I even knew it was a term, but also disliked playing a level for more than like a few days. Long story short, I played a lot of hard levels that I dropped (including levels like nine circles as the biggest example) It wasn’t until march 21 of 2022 that I beat my first medium demon, Electrodynamix V2. So that’s a 6 month span. 1 month later I decided to play stalemate. To keep it short I won’t go into the full story, but let’s just say the fact that I beat that level is an absolute miracle. It took me a week and 4k attempts to beat my first insane demon. I beat my first hard demon FOUR MONTHS LATER, it being Tendo. Which ironically got rerated to an insane demon, so technically my real first hard demon was Ultra Wide, which I beat 2 and a half months after Tendo. So at this point I had been playing lots of extremes. Stuff like Acu, Awakening Horus, Misty Mountains, Gunslinga Corridor, Hateful Reflection, Black Blizzard, Biohazard, Blade of Justice, the list just keeps going… All of these are levels I dropped because I was dumb and had no patience. Cut to 7 months after I beat Ultra Wide, and 4 months after my previous hardest Optic Daydream. I decided it was finally time I would beat an extreme demon. It was gonna be one I had never attempted before, and it was gonna be a hard one. I was looking through the list, pretty high up at the time, and I found carcano. It looked pretty fun, so I tried it out. I was determined, I literally said on day 1 “I am going to beat this level“ Now I didn’t know this at the time, but Carcano had had a huge nerfdate after it got pushed off the list, which means it had an inaccurate placement on the legacy list. That is unbelievably lucky for me, like it was meant to be, because if I had chosen a level at around the same place on the legacy list that wasn’t nerfed, it would have taken so much longer and it would’ve been torture. Carcano took me 6 months and 67k attempts to complete, and I beat it just 2 weeks before 2.2 came out. All of this was on 60hz, and because of that Carcano remains my hardest. I’ve beat some levels harder than carcano on 240, but the 60hz completion really pushes it over the edge compared to anything else. So yeah, there’s like my entire life story, and a substantially weird timeline

I ain't readin all that (I did)

theory of everything 2

Same

Painfully accurate

The Nightmare

What is it, which was also my first demon

What was it

fingerdash

Dash (specificly the 2nd coin)

Deadlocked, i know that sounds obvious, but, i probably put like 20k attempts in to the first time i beat deadlocked (on my gen 1 ipad with like 150ms of input delay 😭🙏) and now I've played deadlocked so much that i can genuinely beat it in 1 attempt, i even beat it a few times in 1.5x speed.

Decode

White space. Took me a week to beat as my first demon after a week of playing the game.

70%+ on cant let go

was also time machine for me lmao

nine circles

Probably Future Funk, I wasted like 3 hours on a single practice run once or smth, now I have 88% and want to die

Clutterfunk had me crying as a kid ngl

dawg i have literally beaten demons yet i havent beaten clutterfunk yet cause that shit traumatized me 💀 /lh

Decode, got stuck at the first ufo for months, now I can beat the whole thing 1 att

Deadlocked

Deadlocked. Though it’s still not easy, I can do one practice run and then beat it in a few attempts

deadlocked

fingerdash

White Space, I can beat it with my eyes closed (and have)

i forgot

Windy Landscape

Tartarus, can i say that? Even though i haven't beat any extreme demons Probably because i practiced wayyyy too much

Cycles, for sure

Honestly, Cycles. No I'm not kidding I didn't beat that level until after 10 demons 💀

I think Clubstep

Change of scene. Seemed impossible to early me but now I can consistently beat it in 1 attempt

xStep

Nine circles (Main level: Clutterfunk)

For a really long time Magma Bound for some weird reason was almost impossible for me, put of my 3k attempts on the level, the first 1k was just my first ever practice run bruteforcing each jump. It's strange because they're not even that hard even compared to easier levels, I just couldn't do it before improving. I still consider myself nearly a beginner though since I haven't beaten any extremes but I do have the worst specs ever as an excuse

fingerdash

Cycles for sure. Triple spikes were the bane of my existence in my Lite days

Cycles

Press Start. It probably shouldn't be rated Normal.

Electromagnetic Advantages

CLUBSTEP...

Deadlocked

Jumper, not lyin

cycles for me

Clubstep

hextec flow

A bit unoriginal but Clubstep. It was my first demon and a pretty big jump from my previous hardest (clutterfunk)

Sidestep

Dry Out

Cataclysm

The nightmare

Dash.

Yes. My favorite RobTop map, though.

Theory of everything, Time Machine, electrodynamix, and the nightmare

Verity

X

B and/or Time Machine

Acheron

Decode

Forsaken Neon

Boy, am I glad that I was already skilled when Dash released. It’s my favorite level. :)

The nightmare

I can name Outer Space and some of the levels on the shadow gauntlet

Time machine

Freedom (easy demon)

Hemi is so incredibly difficult to me, now I practice attempt it in like 5 attempts

Forest temple, Nine circles, Decode, Deadlocked, Windy landscape, Bloodbath... the list could go on

For some reason Electrodynamix or Hexagon Force

Windy landscape was my goal and it took me a lot of time to beat it, now I can beat it in 10 attempts or less without practice, it's just so good XD

Wasureta.

HeLl or however its spelt. Despite my hardest being nine circles back then I could not for the life of me do the stupid first wave. That wave belongs in an insane demon. The transition right after the wave is pretty awful too

I literally prayed to god, asking him to let me beat Jumper Also, I could not for the life of me do the ending of Clutterfunk correctly

Unity, it took around 3 days to beat it (It was my first level dont judge me)

Corrosive flower Me when beating it for the first time takes 7231 attempts but rebeating takes 125

Jetpack trials Ridiculous to say this but as a platformer beginner I left jpt after room 10(usually, most I got was around room 25 i remember) after some time i brute forced it in 1 hour(not done with checkpont mod)

Clutterfunk. I beat deadlocked before I beat Clutterfunk.

platinum adventure except I can beat hard demons now and I still haven’t beaten it

Jumper

Game Time

When I started I thought Hexagon Force was the hardest level in the base game because I hadn't unlocked Clubstep and wasn't good enough to get to the part in Electrodynamix that makes it harder. I used to think i would never be good enough to beat it.

i got so mad at dry out as a little kid

Fingerdash wave and deadlocked wave seemed humanly impossible and now I can beat them 9/10

Jumper

nine circles

the nightmare cuz i suck back then

xStep. I legitimately thought it was impossible, especially the weird blue pad ship section. Now I can beat it first try 95% of the time.

any gauntlet level

My old levels, I really thought 9 years ago that 2 minutes of double spikes gameplay was hard

Dry Out, I found it way harder than the first three main levels, especially the reverse gravity section.

The Nightmare.

Going to go with Death moon by Caustic

Acu, cataclysm, bloodbath, azurite

Speed racer

i beat problematic in an hour at most; compared to when i first tried it i could not even pass the 1st cube

Electrodynamix

Extinction

Cycles

Stereo madness

Also time machine

Ispy, I loved it as a level when I accidentally stumbled upon a showcase on yt. I tried playing it, couldn't even get to the ball part(my hardest then was "base after base", I was struggling with "can't let go"). So I have an extra 50 attempts or so on that lvl which shouldn't be there. As of now it's the easiest demon from my skill point, as ball, ufo and spider are the very game modes I am most comfortable with.

Unity

I said baaah and many other 2.0 levels. Very fun to play and not too difficult

deadlocked

The Nightmare.

Jumper lol

Can’t let go of

Bloodbath used to consider it as peak difficulty but now that ive beaten it found it pretty underwhelming in difficulty

Deadlocked

Clutterfunk

Demons

Dry Out and/or Cycles

I could beat any demon again, but time machine.. it scares me..

Clutterfunk and electrodynamix. Those two were hell back then, but now I can just 1 attempt them

Dash

Bloodbath

Clutterfunk (took me like 1k attempts or something close to that)

Clutterfunk. I beat ToE before it and thought it was easier. But I was dead wrong

Back when playing GD lite I thought Electroman Adventures is silent impossible level

Fire aura, dear nostalgists

Probably some flashy gauntlet level

Deadlocked

Hexagon force

Nine Circles

Press start. Like, how did it take 200+ attemprs for me? (It was my first level though)

Anubis

Rawr by danolex. It’s a 4/5* and it was my hardest non robtop level for ages, it took me about 400 att

Sidestep

The nightmare definetly

Clubstep, It also became my fav level :D

deadlocked took me like 9 months to beat and when i did beat it it was at my grandmas funeral

Clubstep

ToE, I used to find the 1st ship absolute hell to get through

clutterfunk. when i used to play the game on mobile back in \~2017 i was terrible and had so much trouble trying to beat it. after taking a 7 year break i picked up the game on pc after hearing about 2.2 and beat it in 27 attempts

Clubstep back when I had gd lite seemed pretty difficult but now I think I'd beat it with a few attempts Edit: played it and easily got to 88% but I see that as a win as that part is just a chokepoint

Decode and base after base

Clubstep. I can almost 1 attempt the level now, but it took me 5k attempts to beat it for the first time

Electrodynamix

Time machine

Nine circles, it’s still pretty hard but back then i couldn’t even get to the ball 😭

TOE2 easy answer

Jumper or death moon

nine circles

Anything ranging from cant let go to nine circles

Stereo madness

Stereo Madness, obviously

xstep

reanimation by terron

Definitely bloodbath. I thought it was absolutely impossible to ever even get to 30%. Now it feels relatively easy for an extreme

Deadlocked was my first REAL grind

Theory Of Everything

Finger dash I guess

Sidestep looked impossible to me , the ship , the fast gamemode change , but now i can do it in a few try

Deadlocked, played on the side a bit untill i got past the wave and ship all of a sudden, left it for a while, finnaly beat my first demons and rememberd i fluked like 30% on deadlocked and really started to practice, i have over 3k attempts on it and all coins, now i can do it on less than 50 att

Cycles. I beat it after xStep AND Blast Processing

Fingerdash.

Cluttertunk. The first ship section was a pain in the ass for a 15 yo me to beat.

Theory of everything used to be really hard but after brute forcing it, because it was fun, it became my first insane

Clubstep

Not even a year ago Decode felt completely inaccessible to me

Cycles

Acu

Speed racer probably, even though I can now beat it on a shitty 60hz laptop that lags a ton in one attempt.

Can't Let Go Blast Processing and Dry Out

I TREATED ISPY LIKE IT WAS AN EXTREME DEMON😭

SO REAL DAWG 😭

the intro of “sugar” by david guetta actually

magmatic sanctuary and first race, they were BRUTAL while I was completing the fire gauntlet. I still remember beating shock easily on a toilet though

Cycles

Change of scene
