The History of Slaughterhouse

EDIT: spaceuk hacked the level, not epic.
Blue: / gmdblue
Icedcave: / icedcave
The place of the hardest extreme demon, has always been an illusive spot that players and creators alike have dedicated hundreds, even thousands of hours to try and take. However, most of these efforts never come to fruition, whether the level never finishes development, is never verified, or is lost, only a small fraction of these levels get to see their day as the number one demon.
One of these few levels, in fact, the one sitting in this position right now, is Slaughterhouse.
It is perhaps one of the most well known and influential levels in the geometry dash community, famous for its unforgiving difficulty, dark and gloomy atmosphere, and a soundtrack that is a push to even call music in the first place.
Although most people know about today’s slaughterhouse at surface level, this level actually has a long and deep history. going all the way back to 2015 it’s a miracle this level is even here today at all.

they aren't, it's basically a different level with the "slaughterhouse" name slapped on top because icedcave was embarrassed to be associated with old slaughterhouse, and also probably to make it look like it has more history than it really has
