"Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" (Demon) by Jenkins | Geometry Dash 2.11

Ever since I saw the first previews of this around 6 months ago, I knew I had to showcase it once it got finished. It's a rather simple level visually, especially compared to Jenkins's previous works, but it's still amazing to me. The biggest reason for that is its synchronization to the song. Most levels do a good job of timing visuals such as color pulses or simple effects to the song, or in the gameplay with clicks to the beat, but this goes even further. We go even further with repeating visuals for the repeating parts of the song. I can't say I've seen that in Geometry Dash often, and it works very well in my opinion. Usually I'd find repeating parts a bit boring visually, but since they're all this good-looking and the level is so long, there's plenty to enjoy here regardless.
In terms of gameplay, there's also some repetition, such as plenty of double and triple spikes in a row in the first few parts and more throughout the level. I think it works well to connect the gameplay to the visuals and song too. It may not be the most fun to play because of this, though, but I'd still say it's worth giving a shot if you like it. The level is very long and features some tricky timings, so I can see it being at least a Hard Demon and maybe Insane Demon. It's worth noting that I didn't beat this as it is a botted showcase one of my friends did, but I tried the whole thing on my phone to see the gameplay. This level deserves all the attention it can get. All in all, I think this deserves an Epic rating.

I remember watching the music video of this song in like 2010 or 2011, and I was like, "What is this weird cartoon shit?" I liked the song a lot, though, so I became a Daft Punk fan pretty fast. Never would I have thought that I'd see a banger Geometry Dash level using this song. Also, I watch anime (the style of the music video) regularly now, so looking back on my first experience with this song and its music video is funny.

Hi viprin

[@AdafkaGD]

Accept my friend request on MAL :clueless:

[@kelvin.36]

Cool

[@MrBenjiii]

Sometimes a simple song, with lyrics that aren't overly complex but have a pleasing rhythm to listen to, can become a powerful catalyst for nostalgia, evoking memories of truly wonderful times. I miss Daft Punk.

[@cyanflower]

might give this level a shot because damn does it look fun

[@PartitionZion]

I remember seeing a youtube video of performing to the lyrics of this song with fingers a few years ago . That song and the performance was such a shock to me at the time. I remember being addicted to this song for a while for that lol . so nostalgic .. anyway Really cool level . hope it gets epic soon c:

[@tealstone_]

we all remember that video

[@kelvin.36]

Yeah

I like the song "Draft Punk - Get Lucky".

it's good! but it's all recycled tricks and styles :p

[@smoopinc]

Jenkins' glow usage and pulses are so perfectly subtle and work so well with the theming

[@XenlyXenly]

3:15 THE GLOW HERE IS JUST SO WELL MADE I LOVE THIS

[@Exomix]

I think the most brilliant part of this level is the colour usage, and how they match the cover art of Daft Punk albums. Such examples would be how 0:16 represents Discovery, 1:36 represents Homework, 0:47 represents Human After All, etc. Probably one of my favourite levels of all time

[@viprin]

That's a great catch

[@Leetransform25]

This is one of my favorite examples of gameplay repetition it's done so perfectly here

[@szatmari_szilard]

2:45 is geometrical dominator moment

[@Hypno_74]

Been waiting for this level to drop and it really didn't disappoint!! There's so much care put into this level and the references to Daft Punk's album covers make this so unique

[@SmitN]

Absolutely love this level, every detail added serves a purpose. If I wasn’t such a perfectionist, I would want to be creating stuff like this

[@michamoo1016]

There is not much creators who can do a song so much justice as much as Jenkins. Fantastic level!

[@TMQuan202]

I only heard the song a few times on my TV very long ago. Years later, when I finally know the song name, it just unlock a nice piece of my childhood, now it stucks in my head as nostalgia. Jenkins really did the song justice with simple deco, repeated gameplay but represent perfectly Daft Punk style

[@roadsideflowerss]

i just love how jenkins perfectly matched the vibe of the song with the deco, very cool

[@riomarchello7080]

all of those decos are actually inspired by Daft Punk’s albums

[@roadsideflowerss]

@@riomarchello7080 oh thats cool as hell too

[@benren0825]

I’m so happy rn cause I didn’t realize he finished the level! The gameplay and deco perfectly captures the overall vibe of this legendary song. Love it.

[@msm_12]

Despite its designs being rather simple overall and it has a lot of repetitive elements, this level works extremely well and looks awesome. The interplay between song and visuas, as well as the gameplay is just great and on point. I personally really like how well Jenkins' glow usage in this one. Even though it's quite subtle, it makes a big difference and looks very clean. I also think the masking effect with the glow bars that make the structures look like shiny metals looks very cool and fits the music. Awesome work!

[@Komatic5]

It's really good to see a quality level that can do "justice" to this song, if you will.

[@zobros345]

Bro this level is so good i LOVE It

[@ArcadeAce21]

Small detail for the video but I like how the video just cuts at the end with the song without even seeing the complete screen. It's a nice touch to me. The level itself looks incredible, the gameplay looks like it may get repetitive but I'll try it because it at least looks fun to try out👌

[@viprin]

I was about to put the outro like normal, but I thought it'd be cooler to just end it there like it's a music video since the song ends there. Glad you liked it

[@407kc9]

I like the old-school metallic gradients in this level!

[@myaa554]

The song representation is amazing! Also the shiny blocks at the end are awesome literally how did Jenkins make those.

[@satonlsmesq]

What an extraordinary vibe this level conveys with the music. This is that kind of level that feels like it was made for the music and the music was made for it, and this level managed to go beyond being even a perfect representation of the music, and not just something that references her a lot. Honestly, very few levels can fit this, thanks Jenkins for another splendid job!!!

[@gdartho]

As a big daft punk fan this level is very cool and unique for me. It utilizes the less is more principle very well, making it easily one of my favorites this year. Jenkins never disappoints.

[@certainlystormy]

the progression in this goes crazy, minimalistic but builds energy so well

[@jajammy5830]

Jenkins really out here continuing the legacy of the legendary duo that is, Daft Punk. The Alive 2007 references on this one though!

[@VuroPearl]

2:20 is so damn cool

[@JamAttack]

god that song brings back memories sick level too

[@maumau0931]

This level is a perfect example of simplistic yet wonderfully executed. While all of the effects and designs, from a base level and view, arent very impressive, they still work wonderfully with the aesthetic, gameplay and song of the level. Ironically this level that has been obviously heavily inspired by the art and own aestheric of daft punk, ends up being one of the most original creations I have seen in this game, along with just being overall plesurable to watch and satisfying due to parts like 2:42 - 2:57, and all of the rainbow silhouette parts with the blue orb sync. Even if this level ends up being rather repetitive at times, it is undeniably one of the most cohesive experiences in this game. Bravo, Jenkins!

[@lillyvx_]

One of the best levels of this year. Seriously, it reflects Daft Punk sooooo well

[@PORTALIAN_Makes_Bass]

The thing I'm impressed by the most is how Jenkins replicated the metals of the helmets. I just don't see good metal structures in many levels (that aren't 2003Devin's rusted masterpieces), so it just stands out.

[@BelastetGD]

The quality is so amazing and satisfying!!

[@runwayhousescityclouds]

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE FOR SO LOOOONG!!! it didn't disappoint. This is one of my favorite songs in Discovery, and the representation of it is on point. Also love how the colors match the covers of DP's discography. One of my faves of the year

[@hephaisarttex]

this is unbelievably perfect ❤. I love this level.

[@bloo3y_95]

Simple but very fun. And... Well is Daft Punk 😌

[@MrBenjiii]

YES!! I was extremely excited for this level! I love this song, I always imagined a level with it, and with jenkins' work, as always, it's very beautiful! 🔥🔥❤️

[@RichGD.780X]

Wow, this level is very epic, as are its effects, I would love for them to make more levels with this nostalgic music.

[@SmileBullet]

Daft Punk is far and away my favorite band, so it makes me so happy to see a good level use one of their songs

[@SmileBullet]

AND THE DECO MATCHES THE ALBUMS AND THE ALIVE 2007 STAGE ARE THE STRUCTURES AT 2:20 oh my god this is my favorite level in the game

[@Numptaloid]

they aren't a band they're 2 guys

[@princecarl4157]

The block is glowy and that rainbow vibes is just too good

[@roflcopterrawr]

easily level of the year imo. as someone who’s a big fan of Daft Punk’s music, this level absolutely blew me away with how well it represents the songs and the duo’s other albums through the color choices and decoration. simply perfection :)

[@tschnitzl_9193]

I love levels that are designed after the video or cover art of it's song. it always looks so cool

[@XEAZUR]

saw the previews for this quite some time ago, didnt knew it was finished. i love the references to all the albums. Ive been a fan of daft punk for a long time, recently bought the ram 10th aniversery lp and this just perfectly captures the song.

HEY, I REMEMBER SEEING A PREVIEW OF THIS LEVEL MONTHS AGO ON TWITTER OR KZbin!!! Forgot about the preview, but this video took me back to that preview. I remember thinking that the preview's chill deco and atmosphere was unique, and I'm glad that still appeared with the full level now released. Might try playing it in the future.

[@dawnfall_gd]

every work by jenkins is so unique, we'all love to see it

[@wispyluma76]

This was my most anticipated level by far for the last half year and it did NOT disappoint! Everything about this level was beautifully executed. It was clearly made with inspiration and love. It is the best love letter to daft punk I could ever ask for and their influence over an entire generation as one of the best if not the best and most influential duos of all time. My second favorite level in the game behind windy landscape for nostalgia. The literal only criticism I have is that there is not robot part because one of the official robot icons is based on daft punk if you use the right colors and robots and machines are a huge theme around a lot of daft punks songs.

[@G69G71]

Finally someone did a level with this masterpiece music, also the lvl is a masterpiece too.

[@chilliott3214]

The way he represented daft punks different albums in the deco is awesome, def one of my fav levels this year

[@tTAL9988]

I haven't been that interactive with the community when it comes to levels. I usually don't go out of my way to open GD just for a level to play, but this level right here is literally making me do that! This level is very unique, using a daft punk song which was a surprise to me. I've been a fan of Daft Punk for about 5 months now, so seeing the initial previews for this made me way more excited than I ever expected. About the level itself, it really goes in the Daft Punk image. The color scheme all uses the DP Album covers and how they interact with the parts. The usage of repeated gameplay makes this even more connected, as Daft Punk's songs are usually repetitive. Jenkins really really made something I thought I wouldn't have ever seen, but here we are! Thank you for showcasing this as well :) We gotta get a level with a Justice song some time 👀

[@FiepSyCola]

I think this is one of my favorites levels of this year. Objectively, it's not a masterpiece. The concept to repeat gameplay and/or visuals was already seen in a lot of levels such as Sunset Sandstorm by Crohn44, PXTXRN SXXKXR by Viot and Mind Control by Darwin. But the way how it repeat is really original and synchronize perfectly to the song. I remember I've seen the previews of H B F S before it is published and I imagined every time in my head how gonna be the rest of the level if we consider repetitions are important. I was pretty surprise by the UFO part in 2:20 with unique obstacles and background and great colors.The level himself execut very well the Daft Punk's vibe with a bunch of original block designs and cool effects. The gameplay looks really fun also and has some interesting varieties like in 2:12 where each platform is a slope, and you have to jump very high to pass this part, which is so satisfying visually. However, I'm not a big fan of the empty background at some parts, it makes the level so simple it doesn't seems finished. But that's a small detail. All in all, the level is excellent and I love watch again and again it with energy he give to us. A great job from Jenkins since his Extreme Demon NEUTRA with Marwec & ILRELL ! :D
