[@string6474]

My top 10: 10: Cascade This level is just beautiful. It’s easy learn and beat, as well as being pretty fun despite most of it being easy to exploit. Also, the song is my 4th favorite in the game 9: Cool Friends I love the theme in this level, it fits with the industry very well. The song is great, and it syncs quite well with the level (especially in the final phase). Despite the level’s difficulty, it’s pretty fun too. 8: Try This Again, I love the theme and song in this level. The drop is very intense, and it’s fun to play. Even though it is a pretty difficult level, it doesn’t take much to S rank it consistently. 7: Granite Do I even have to say anything? 6: Annihilate The beginning does definitely take a while, and it’s repetitive. But, the rest of the level is amazing. The song’s great, the level is fun, and it takes a lot of skill. Overall, this is definitely one of the best final bosses I’ve faced in a long time 5: Close to Me While it can get repetitive due to it’s length, the attacks can be fun to avoid, and you can do them in more fun ways rather then the intended way. Also one of the best songs in the game. 4: New Game However, New Game is definitely my favorite boss. Why? Well, it’s extremely fun to play because it has so many exploits, and exploiting in jsab is quite fun. That’s all I have to say about this level. Probably the most fun for me. 3: Vindicate Me I love the sync in this level, it’s just amazing. I also really like the song, and the level is fun to play. Not much else to say 2: On the Run Not only do I really like the song in this level (my second favorite in the game), but it’s also quite fun. I don’t normally like autoscrollers in video games, however, I can make an exception for jsab, especially for this level. It’s also pretty difficult. 1: Lightspeed Oh boy, where do I even begin with this ranking? Well, the song is my favorite in the game, and it’s quite fun. The gameplay is unique, and it’s very intense. And I also like the part at the end. And that’s my top 10! I did actually rank all levels from worst to best in my own time. (Don't bother with this list, it is obsolete now)

(No-Dashing was very fun and easy.) 2. Close to Me I like the beat but it's pretty repetitive. (No-Dashing was a nightmare...) 1.

Logic gatekeeper is a great song but I agree on the rating. It should have been better but the early levels were more simple. Have gimmicks in all levels, even if the level needs to be easy.

Termination Shock is hard bc it constantly covers >50% of the screen and, yes it is the same pattern over and over, but the pattern moves really fast and is almost impossible to dodge for the beginner player.

[@_smugmaster_4553]

My top 3: 3. The Lunar Whale I actually really enjoy the lunar whale. It's simple, but it's a short and fun challenge that I just really enjoy for some reason. Also, it's my 2nd favorite song of all time, so that's a big factor. 2. Creatures ov Deception Everything you said about this level in the video I 100% agree with. There's not much more for me to say except that I really like the song and the lyrics as well. 1. Katana Blaster Katana blaster is my favorite JSAB level of all time, my favorite song of all time, and has my favorite WORD of all time in its name. Literally everything about this level is a masterpiece. It has fun gameplay, great sync with the music, and has AMAZING visuals.

This really is fun to they are starters 8: Unlocked The visuals here are really good because in the middle-final part the square that has squares looks like if is made up of metal 7: Fox I really like the music on the starting and the middle 6: The art of war This is my 2nd favourite music but with this BaLLs makes it really difficult 5: Cheat codes I really like the music and the mechanics are really good. This is actually like Clash but more better (Fun fact: This song is really like New Game in some parts) 4: Cascade I love the visuals in this level and the music.

I really like how some songs sound similar to other earlier levels like final boss and chronos I think it is cool, and as a gd player I take that rating of deadlocked to offense Edit: I will now be taking that the lunar whale to offense to bc it's easy, I have it s ranked, and it's a really good song. Not to mention that lycantrophy rating. It my favorite boss fight. That one in the shovel knight is the most forgettable boss fight.

[@TheHonoredOne915]

Lycanthropy is forgettable because it's a character no one cares about. Just a random evil flower guy. At least the shovel knight boss is a unique character with unique attacks that are memorable. He attacks you with sythes, that's way more unique than a random flower thqt just jumps in pink water. You could remove Lycanthropy and replace it with Barracuda and the story wold basically be the same. Lycanthropy is Dubwoofer Substep but worse. The shovel knight boss also has a better song (La Danse Macrabe).

Since The Lost Chapter is out now, what would be the rankings of the songs that were added?

[@crkjdw]

Top 20 (2nd comment) 20. Spectra: First and final checkpoints are underwhelming, but the 2 middle ones are incredible. Good music, fun ideas, and creative as hell design push this into the top 20. 19. Vindicate Me: Very cool designs, crazy gameplay ideas, a good song, and the right amount of difficulty. My only 2 small complaints are the game reference part in the song is unreadable as hell, and the final checkpoint is a bit tedious. 18. Wicked: Absolute banger of a track, the X blocks are really fun, and overall this level is just a good time. My only issue is it should be harder. 17. Close to Me: As a bossfight, this feels like an actual real, raw, emotional bossfight with good difficulty the first time you play it. It's concepts are great, the song is good, and it's very intense. On replay value, you do notice the long breaks, and the repetative nature of the level, but the first time I played this level is a huge factor in it's high placement. 16. Fox: It was so close to being perfect, a high difficulty for a fun level, cool visuals, a banger of a song, and then the last part ruined it. The last part in fox is the annoying dash section where you have to be paying attention to everything at once, the balls, the ceiling, your position, and the lasers, and it drops this level many spots. 15. In the halls of the usurper: Great Song, great gameplay, good difficulty, great concept: And it would have been a top 5 if it wasn't for cheeses that can essentially skip the first 2 checkpoints. 14. Final Boss: Intense as all hell, great song, great bossfight, the dashing up parts are super fun, and the only problem I have is the 1st dashing up part being a little long. However, this is still a great level. 13. Hype: cool visual design, one of my favorite songs, and a more casual difficulty. Honestly fun for any skill level, which is why I like it so much. It can't be top 10 because of how easy it is, but still very good level. 12. Flowers of Antimony: Great new projectiles, very good song, creative dodging methods, and the 4 cannoned bubbler is one of my favorite things in the game, how you can either be a dodge pro or outsmart the system and go in the middle. Only out of top 10 because of the free 3rd checkpoint. 11. La Danse Macabre: Banger of a song with a cool boss design, fun parts, and addicting gameplay. Nothing about this is bad, my only issue being how easy it is. 10. Spider Dance: As a huge undertale fan (obviously) I was so hyped when I played The Lost Chapter opening day and saw that. The boss is the hardest in the game, which is a huge plus, with great designs, fun gameplay, and really cool ideas. It also should be mentioned how absolutely crazy it was seeing this for the first time. I was smiling the entire time when I did the fight. 9. Try This: Crazy design, and one of the only levels with a fully specific theme. It's difficult but fun and rewarding, the song matches perfectly with the level and is great regardless, and the overall vibe I get from this is amazing. 8. Born Survivor: Great gameplay, amazing incorparation of the song into the gameplay, and cool ideas everywhere in the level. The top 7 levels in my opinion are all 10/10's, but born survivor gets very close to that mark as well. 7. Creatures ov deception: Some of the most fun gameplay in the entire game, a really good song, and can be fun blind and also a good level to learn. The projectile spam section would be excessive most of the time, but it fits with the music and is still very fun. I love this level, and it deserves it's place here. 6. On The Run: Slight problem, the third checkpoint is a bit easy. Anyway, On The Run is epic. It starts being a casual hard bullet hell to ease you into things, and then it just builds on that incredibly. The spike parts at first are hard but still managable, while being satisfying to pull off. Then the level increases the difficulty without taking away good gameplay, and it's really awesome to learn the dashes. The frantic end of the 2nd checkpoint is also awesome and goes with the song well. Overall banger. 5. Airborne Robots: Another great song, with a cool visual identity as a level and some very fun gameplay. It has a nice difficulty, is intense but not overdoing it, and some very fun parts to learn. No part in this level is bad, every dash feels perfectly earned and every hard section is complimented by how fun it is. This level, unlike deadlocked, fully did its song justice. 4. Cool friends: Not only is this my 3rd favorite song in the whole game, not only does it's gear aestetic actually work, not only does it manage to have slower gameplay that is satisfying and faster parts, not only is the ending intense yet earned because it isn't that hard, but it has a mini boss at the 3rd checkpoint that is epic and actually tests your skills in a fun way. Easy 10/10. 3. Granite: Great visual designs, the projectile action is very fun at the start, and the lasers are more vibrant than ever. The 2nd checkpoint is perfection, with multiple patterns each feeling earned to play, but the crazy lasers going in, with the other lasers syncing to the beat, it's just perfect. The upwards section is also incredible fun and earned, with the new layers added to the song being exploding orbs. The final part is just the right amount of intense without being too hard, and overall, this level is incredible. 2. Last Tile: The 1st part has some of the greatest bullet hell created, being satisfying no matter if you dash or not. The gears on the part before the drop are a great transition and used well. Lastly, the 3rd checkpoint might be the best in the game. It feels tight and claustrophobic, but also incredibly open with your dash. The explosions here you need to watch before you dash, and the ending part, while being easy, is still fun to map out each dash. Masterpiece of a level, and is so close to being 1. 1. Lightspeed: The first checkpoint isn't anything that special, just a cool visual idea with fun gameplay to match. Then at the end when the song calms down before the drop, you have to prepare yourself. On a first run, you know something is about to happen, but you don't know what. And then the song drops, and starts going off with the music and gameplay. The main projectile has such a readable and perfect pattern, that is still hard because of how crazy it is. The bullet hell parts spitting out of the sides with great visual flare, the satisfying animations, and the 2 impossibly hard looking patterns that you get a rush when you dodge, this is clearly my favorite level.

Someone just did final boss without dashing. I would say its really hard because when its the part where you HAVE to dash. Instead, he did go through the little balls in the ground for almost the whole level. So its possible to do it but its really hard to do it.

[@crkjdw]

I watched this video like a couple years back when I had like 10 S ranks on normal mode and now I have all of them, so I can finally share my full opinions on every level! (spilt into 2 comment because of length) 53. The lunar whale: One of the most annoying 2nd phases of any level, with a free first phase. The challenge here comes from having no idea what you are meant to do at first, and then memorizing it later. Also the song is very annoying. 52. Katana Blaster: Absolute torture to S rank because of some of the most confusing patterns. Slow precision gameplay is a nightmare in a game with a fast paced dash, the song is terrible, and since it's the hardest level to unlock, it's super underwhelming. 51. First Crush: Even though this level isn't that hard, it was one of my last S ranks because of how tedious, unreadable, and boring the gameplay is, with a bad song as well. The only good part was the absolutely free 2nd checkpoint. 50. Logic Gatekeeper: Very easy, and basically just a reskin of chronos with less interesting gameplay. 49. Cascade: Easiest level in the game considering you can skip half of it and the other half is free. Boring with mid music. 48. Yokuman Stage: 2nd easiest level in the game, not a single interesting part, and a megaman song doesn't fit within the jsab tracks whatsoever. 47. Chronos: I don't hate the level, but it is easy and boring with a mid song, but good early level ig, just very easy with 1 hard part that was never used again. 46. The Art Of War: This is a level that wasn't meant for jsab in my opinion. It should have been reworked into a no dashing game, because slow paced bullet hell with a slow paced song is very tedious and unineteresting. Also way too easy. 45. Tokyo Skies: Very creative and clever cheese strat in the bottom left corner for S ranks. Even with that this level is IMPOSSIBLE. It took me 45 minutes to S rank, which was the most of any. Great intense atmosphere though, but this level is too hard imo. 44. Paper Dolls: The first 2 checkpoints are nice hard fun, and the 2nd 2 are the most frustraiting thing in the whole game. The music is good, but I've had too much pain on those checkpoints to put this higher than this spot. The hardest level in the game imo. 43. Interlaced: Only this high because of the decoration concepts, the song is bad, the gameplay is horrible, and the level is clearly harder than intended to S rank. 42. Cheat Codes: Same compliments as Interlaced, but this level is very tedious at the end, plus the gameplay is either free, boring, or too hard for it's point in the game. It's only above because the song is mid instead of bad. 41. Commando Steve: The bullet hell parts are very fun, but everything else is painfully easy, plus the saw star concept was way easier than most likely intended. 40. Unlocked: The art is cool ig, but this is such a free and unintense level despite the music going off. This level ruined what would have likely been a good song imo because of how comical it was that the song was playing over a reskinned tutorial level. 39. Core: Very annoying to learn, but once you do it's fine. The part at the end of the second checkpoint is hell, and the 3rd checkpoint is free. It's ok tho. 38. Into the zone: 2nd checkpoint is actually really good, with the coolest visual effect in the game, and good gameplay. The other 2 kinda blow tho, and the song is not good. 37. Legacy: Forgettable easier level with a mid song and boring gameplay. 36. Houston: The level is pretty boring and easy imo, it has a good song and isn't awful to play, but another forgettable level. 35. Mortal Kombat: Very rng based S rank, but the concept is cool. Plus the only part that is the slightest bit threatening is the impossible part, which is pretty funny. 34. Lycanthropy: I don't hate the boss, but it is pretty forgetable. However, I like the song, and it has some clever cheeses, like staying middle right when the heads explode. The level sadly feels like a bossfight to be a bossfight, unlike every other one in the game. 33. Termination shock: Would be higher if it wasn't so early in the game. This level isn't hard once you learn it, but is a major difficulty spike for new players, which makes it annoying. Pretty good song though. 32. Crystal Tokyo: The 3rd checkpoint is fun, but the 2nd checkpoint is honestly comical when the music is popping off and the visuals are intense when the level is just so easy. Fine ig. 31. Long Live The New Fresh: Banger of a song, great intro to bosses, but too many parts are cheesable or too easy on repeat. 30. Sevecon: The first checkpoint has the same "too slow" problems, but the level goes off in the 2nd half visually and gameplay wise, with a good song along with it. The first half does feel like a drag tho. 29. Milky Ways: The best starter level, because it earns it's intensity with actual harder gameplay that requires focus and movement, with a good song as well. Despite being very easy, the level is actually fun. 28. Dance of the Incognizant: Literally my 2nd favorite song I've ever listened to, but the gameplay is pretty easy and boring. 27. Dubwoofer Substep: Song goes off, and gameplay is fun when you aren't hugging 1 side of the screen and it being free. Patching those cheeses would put it top 20, but it's just solid for the time being. 26. Barracuda: Unnesacary boss, but unlike lycanthropy, it's actually fun and interesting. It does get a bit repetative, and is a bit too easy, but it does it's job well, and plus the music is a banger. 25. Strike The Earth: A bit too easy, but great vibe and a great song, plus for easy gameplay it is kinda fun. 24. New Game: The last part of the boss is way too easy, but the fast paced nature of the drop part is awesome and still really fun to play to this day. No complaints, just a solid level. 23. Annihalate: Some parts are a bit easy, but for a final boss, this level is great. It truly feels like the end, with great attacks in the middle phase and fun gameplay all around. 22. Deadlocked: The 2nd best level in my opinion that is next level difficult. The gameplay feels really intense and the patterns are fun. My only major complaints are that it didn't fully live up to the pressure of being deadlocked, and the 2nd to last part is a major chokepoint in an S rank. 21. Clash: One of my favorite songs of all time, the gameplay is the right amount of difficult, and the ideas presented in this level are good. The only issue is the random pattern circles and squares, which are one of the most annoying objects in the game. Still good though.

My rating on the list: 8.5/10 There are some disagreements but overall I can agree with alot. (all top 10 [besides Unlocked] I agree with) Also, +0.5 for Granite at #1. (Bias)

[@arcillanicoandreisalaveria3824]

My Top 10 Levels in JSAB: #10 Deadlocked - I admit. I was also disappointed with this level for GD reasons. But when I played it, I have to say that it’s probably the one of the most fun levels I played on JSAB. It was pretty neat to see a Deadlocked that I can actually listen to (even if GD Deadlocked is still better). #9 Unlocked - This level is amazing. The gameplay is super fun and the song is super cool. I feel incredibly happy hearing the song. My only complaint though is that the drop is a bit easier than the pre drop. #8 Paper Dolls - This used to be number 2. I ended up ranking it down a bit though. But yeah. The gameplay is very fun, the song used to be my favorite and seeing it for the first time truly shocked me in a good way. It’s one of the only levels that have me shocked the entire way through. #7 Creatures ov Deception - So when I first so the GIF, I was in absolute shock with the last one. The insanity of that one had me excited. When they announced the song Creatures ov Deception as the 4th song, I was a bit disappointed. Even if I didn’t listen to the song, I was not that excited for the level. However, when the update came out, the song I was the least excited about ended up to be the level in the last part of the GIF. And my expectations were reached. Maybe I should’ve listened to the song prior to saying that I won’t like the level. I set my expectations way too low for the level because I assumed that the song won’t be good. Now I put it this high because it’s actually really fun to play even if it’s absolute insanity. #6 Sevcon - This level is this high because it has the type of structure in a level that I like: chill beginning, pre drop, drop, and then “the calm after the storm” end. That type of structure made the level feel complete. It also improved on that with trippy visuals in the beginning of the drop and cool 3D looking visuals in chaotic part of the drop. I love how it starts of with a chill tune and how BGC used that tune at the drop. Also the chaos part is absolutely incredible featuring fast-paced circles forming some kind of 3D ring. I love how they used the circular attacks in creative ways. Another thing I love his how the artist is Big Giant Circles and they used only big and giant circles. #5 HYPE - This level is a mess. Using attacks from Unlocked and Wicked, and some other levels, this level is all over the place. And that’s why I love it. The song is also incredible. I dance every time I listen to it. Learning the patterns is also super fun. #4 Into the Zone - This level is visually amazing. The effects in this level are incredible. Mix that with the song that is absolutely incredible and you’ve got a masterpiece. While yes, the gameplay is not as good, learning the mid part was a blast. And beating the ending without getting hit is so satisfying. #3 Termination Shock - This level is overrated. In difficulty at least. Many people say it’s way to hard and that it’s bad because of that but I disagree. The gameplay is super fun to learn. The song is super dope. And unlike some other level out there *points to Legacy*, the pulse bombs are actually fun to dodge and they enhance the experience because the gameplay will be too boring without them. #2 Lightspeed - This and my #1 are in my opinion perfect levels. The level I was second most excited for was Lightspeed because I didn’t make the mistake of not listening to the song before the update got released. And my high expectations were shattered. The level is absolute chaos. With the drop literally being a fireworks show. While the beginning is a bit buggy, the gameplay, the visuals, and the song work so well it instantly entered my top 3 and instantly dethroned HYPE as my favorite extra level. However, Berzerk has already made something even better. #1 Final Boss - This level holds a very special place in my heart. The gameplay has the perfect mix of chaos, repetition, and progression. It’s super fun to play and S Rank. The song couldn’t have been any better. The song fits in the story better than any other song has. Much better than New Game. The beginning reintroduces the infected plants like they are guarding the tower. After some repetition, you start climbing the tower. They calming tune to me, feels like a way for you to think of just how far you’ve come. Halfway through the tower, you meet the boss with the final triangle and that’s where the pre-drop of the level begins. To enhance the suspense, a countdown begins. By the end of the countdown, a voice say FIGHT and that’s where the boss starts the battle. This part is always fun to play and after the boss repeats his attack a couple times, we suddenly end up climbing the tower. And what I love about this ending is that the suspense is real considering you’re at the end of the game. You start slowly with a couple dashes at a time. It ends up in absolute chaos with you spamming dash because the speed is incredibly fast. No level has had me end up interpreting it. But this level fits in the story so well and the song fits in so well too so I just had to just deeply analyze it. This level is honestly perfect and if there’s any level that has the ability to dethrone it. I will be deeply impressed.

Here’s my ranking including the lost chapter levels (note that the one level I’ve never tried out is Fox, idk challenge mode just doesn’t want me to get it ._.) 10: Last Tile I have a love-hate relationship with this level, I love playing through it, but I always drop down to a C rank at the last part, so I do hold some grudge towards it 9: Spider Dance The best boss in the game, this one stands out because it’s unique and the patterns are quite fun 8: Katana Blaster I just like this level since it’s somewhat chill and the gameplay is also chill albeit still challenging 7: Airborne Robots Very frantic level, but that’s what makes it fun. The music constantly hyped you up and the fast-paced gameplay definitely helps this level out a lot 6: Granite First of all, best visuals in the game. The only thing I have against this level is that I wish the second part borders were used more, but still an amazing level 5: Interlaced Really interesting concept executed flawlessly. Visually it’s also a treat, don’t know how the peeps at berserk studios came up with this one 4: CONTROVERSIAL OPINION: Deadlocked Alright alright, I know the gameplay is sorta repetitive, but I still find it to be fun, especially the auto scrolling part. I don’t mind that the x boxes are being reused, but my only problem with this level is that I think they did go overboard with those. Overall, I still love playing through it 3: First Crush The wiggly structures are very fun to look at, and I love the different things they did with them 2: Houston This one came as a surprise to me, but yeah, this one is mainly helped due to its extremely fun gameplay. Everything slowly closing on on you is a fantastic concept, and they turned up the amount of fun very high with this level. I just wish it was harder… 1: Lightspeed Beautiful visuals, amazing music, and engaging gameplay. Not much else to say, this one’s the best of the best And I do wanna give an honorable mention to Termination Shock, it’s my favorite story mode level
