"Rest in Peace" (Extreme Demon) by StarkyTheSalad & GaidenHertuny | Geometry Dash 2.11

I saw a bit of this in a showcase through Twitter, but I didn't watch the whole thing. From what I saw, though, it was mostly blue but with some pink and purple mixed in here and there. The latter colors matched the player's colors, so I figured the level used player colors. Soon after, GaidenHertuny asked me if I wanted to showcase it on the channel, and from what I saw, it's interesting and cool enough for that. He also insisted that the showcase uses my icons and colors, so well, please note that I did not beat this. It's far too hard for me.
The gameplay of this was done by GaidenHertuny, and I think it looks very unique. All the Dual parts are good examples of that, but there's also the parts with orb and portal spam. It's synchronized perfectly to the song from start to finish, making it satisfying to watch being played. I'm not sure how this will feel for actual players, though, so that remains to be seen. There are a few parts that suddenly cut between gameplay, and while it's synchronized to the song, I can't imagine these sudden changes being particularly fun to play. This is gonna be a very hard Extreme Demon, though, so things like that are just a part of the difficulty.
The visuals were entirely done by StarkyTheSalad, whose levels I've uploaded on the channel multiple times in the past. I've always liked his more oldschool design style mixed with some more modern elements like small effects. This is very much in that vein as well. The main highlight of the visuals is the aforementioned player colors in my opinion. For about the first minute, it's mostly only light blue, but as the level progresses, it gets more and more player colors added on. By 2:33, it's turned to player colors fully. I just rewatched Starky's showcase of this, and this part definitely looks a bit worse there in my opinion. As mentioned, they used pink and purple, which look pretty much the same when blending is applied. As a result, it kinda just looks like a big pink mess at 2:33. However, with my colors being complementary, it's much easier to discern what uses player color 1 and 2, making it look nicer. Player colors are hardly ever used nowadays, so I think it's cool to see them used so heavily like this, especially progressively. They make for a highly personalized experience depending on your color scheme, and some variety from player to player is always sick in my opinion.

It is cursed seeing viprin icons go through an extreme demon

[@Periwinkleaccount]

Why?

[@xorious7]

Excited to see Npesta verify this! (He announced he's verifying after he beat Edge of Destiny)

[@crumche]

If you pay close attention to the level, you'll see strings of morse code hidden in the decoration (well, some of it isn't so hidden), and when translated, it spits out a short story that reads as follows: A LIFE OF ITS OWN. WHERE HE MAKES EVERY DECISION WITH A VISION. FOR HE HOLDS DIVISION AT THE PALM OF HIS HAND. AND REMINDS GROWTH THAT HE IS LORD. AS HE BELIEVES IN HIS ARMOR AND SHIELD ABOVE ALL ELSE. THEN COMES A DAY. WHEN HE WAKES TO FIND AN INTRUDER IN HIS PARLOR. FOR THE SNEAKY DEVIL HAD SCALED HIS BARRIER. IN SHOCK HE HEADS FOR THE ACIDIC JUICE. HOPING TO TURN THE CUNNING INVADER INTO CHAR. INTO HIS MOTHERBOARD THE INTRUDER PENETRATES. ENDOWED WITH A TRICKY SET OF CODES. THE HACKER TAKES CONTROL. CREATING CLONES OF ITSELF AT ITS HOSTS EXPENSE. FOR ALL IT CARES IS THE SURVIVAL OF ITS PROGENIES. DEFENSELESS HE BECOMES. FOR EVEN CONTROL OF HIMSELF HAS BEEN COMPROMISED. SO DOES LIFE ITSELF BECOME A PLIGHT. WHERE THERE IS NEITHER HOPE NOR ENERGY TO FIGHT. AS DEATH BECOMES AN IMMINENT ROUTE OF ESCAPE. REST IN PEACE. Not entirely sure what the meaning behind this is, but it's very interesting.

[@gaidenhertuny2213]

Idk maybe try to analyze the level deeply? Im all down for video essays

[@a9b9c9d9]

this is reflected in the way the player colors take over the level

[@randy5633]

does that mean we are taking over the motherboard (the level)

[@baactiba3039]

Personally these lyrics work well as a metaphor for disease. It enters your life, and slowly takes control until you give up and die. What makes this level all the more terrifying for me is how all aspects of the human's life are presumably becoming ravaged by this disease, as the end is very chaotic and colorful. The song helped me to understand, but I can't explain how really.

[@ragingpros3755]

That's alot of words

[@auskgd]

i just love this oldschool style mixed up with these kinda crazy effects. It kinda goes almost too crazy for me, but honestly i think that's what makes it that unique. Fits the song rly well too

[@zParthika13]

Good luck to Npesta! Excited to see him verify something after almost 4 years

[@rockwizard5]

Progression is such an insane concept

[@ChickenNugget7]

Not really an insane concept, they way they did it was undoubtedly cool though.

[@TheZinkYT]

Thanks so much for uploading my showcase! I spent over 5 hours botting both showcases in total since this level is humanly impossible in its current state, which broke my bot a few times. I’m glad it paid off, now more eyes get to see this awesome level!

[@idk-mk2pj]

this is the type of extreme that i would make up in my head

[@wihtgd6823]

the weirdest extreme demon I've seen in weeks, I can say that I love that unique and bizarre style :)

[@Audieo]

Aw dang i almost thought you beat an extreme demon for a sec haha, still a sick level though, i like the way it uses its colors especially towards the end with its chaotic energy

[@vapor77]

this level looks like something out of the ILL my god gl npesta

[@CKsilver]

[@arccc_o7]

this looks much better with contrasting colors

[@Hexhammer]

damn voop congrats on your new hardest AGAIN

[@stanstanmansan]

I didnt knew that the level used player colors before reading the desc here, probably thats the reason why I didnt liked it at all the first time when I saw it, some parts are a bit too messy for my taste but its still a cool level, it matches the song really nice btw

[@petrikhorr]

this is the coolest level ever actually

[@msm_12]

I really like the oldschool kinda designs combined with some experimental aspects, which create a pretty interesting look. Overall I just think watching this gameplay, especially the mini wave parts, is quite fascinating as it’s at a seemingly impossible speed and difficulty.

[@alegd6341]

This is one of the coolest things i have seen in a while

[@_Bonkey]

This looks *INSANE*

[@Omega_plays234]

GL to npesta to try to verify this absolute monster of an level!

[@Jason_cv1]

This level goes so f***ing hard! I love it

[@GDman492]

Looks like Wulzy's building challenges

[@TMQuan202]

If you know Viprin well, this would looks so cursed seeing his icon going through extreme demon. That wave at 0:36 is so satisfying with the song glitch effect, hopefully not too buggy

[@redberriescereal8465]

I know opinions are kinda split but I just can’t help but love this level. Having old school deco almost makes it feel unstable, and then over the course of the level, it shatters itself, and chaos ensues. I think the song is a wonderful choice, and I think the gameplay looks very cool, but who’s to say on enjoyment. I like the risk, and it’s cool to see a unique idea. Not everyone’s gonna like it, but I sure as hell do.

[@ItzDudd]

The fact that this is entirely skill is absolutely insane

[@mxnument]

The track is very atmospheric. Too bad it's not on the newgrounds, but it sounds incredibly cool. On the level itself, it doesn't look very... It's more of a "rate or not rate" experiment.

[@AlexZ_GMD]

For you michigun rest in peace ∆∆∆

[@estebanartiguestanchez46]

THIS GAMEPLAY WAS EXTREMELY INSANE!!!!!!

[@PlaZmaRaptor]

Have you ever had Mac and cheese? It's like alphabet soup ice cream sandwiches

[@Elisione]

this is cool and experimental and all that but the fact that there’s almost no pulses whatsoever reallllllllly ruins the intensity, just adding a few to the best to make it match the tempo and fast paced nature would push this so much further than it already is

[@ZackO.O]

Harder than tidal wave bruh 😭

[@EszGotYa]

GL npesta

[@erdyuri]

i rlly like this

[@aerous1275]

ok i'll be fully transparent, if i don't think a level is great i usually sugar coat it and say that it's for the sake of being experimental but this kinda just draws the line for me, yes this is unique but it's unique at the expense of being messy, cluttered and just overall not cohesive at all. i really think this level has potential but it needs a lot of polishing

[@DASVIZ0R]

Stop being so judgemental of the level, do you really think you can do better?

[@aerous1275]

@@DASVIZ0R no, because i don't build in this kind of style at all. but a good portion of the level is quite literally just randomly spammed blending details with little thought put into it. i said it had potential, and what i said was valid feedback. a lot of this level is not cohesive and extremely static and/or cluttered. this is my personal opinion. big deal 🤷

[@DASVIZ0R]

@@aerous1275 The level design is supposed to match the song somewhat so it's in sync. There are not many level designs that fall in line with the song as well as this. It's unique, fairly nice to look at though very crazy and fast paced, and there is even a plot behind it if you translate the morse code in the level. Some extreme demons don't really have this level of detail because they are just designed to be difficult to beat

[@thejanusmiraclee]
