This has been the most surreal experience I've had by far playing Geometry Dash. I've had dreams of beating this level for over 3 years. Back when Diamond Dance was on the Challenge List as a legacy challenge, I beat it in about 4k attempts on Oct 9, 2021. Later on, I beat Sakupen Circles 66 p in about 4k attempts. I beat it when it was a top 17 challenge. Then from there, I started playing Sakupen Circles every now and then for fun, inspired by Cursed who was pushing to make progress on the Muffy version we know today. At this stage, the Muffy version wasn't public, so I edited unnerfed SKC to make it in resemblance to the Muffy version we know today. Eventually, I noticed Cursed uploaded a copy of the Muffy version and I started playing on that. The version he first uploaded is basically the same. The only really noticeable change is that in the version Cursed uploaded to his account, the gear at 86% is slightly lower than in the rated version, making for a tighter release timing into the straightfly. Then, Diamond verified it and I started playing on the rated. I did 52-100 a bit after it was rated and placed at top 1, and I also nearly did 49-100, dying at 76 in the run. That run shocked me. Then, after that, I didn't end up playing the level like at all until 8 months ago when I bought the Motospeed K2. On April 2, 2024, I started the first Comeback Stream on Sakupen Circles, which would be the first out of ~49 streams. Streams 1-4 I got 49-76 again as well as 49-80. On Stream 5, on May 18, I finally got 49-100 after being so close with it 2 years prior. The next day on Stream 6, I got to the doubles for the first time all the way back from the start of the drop at 37. To my surprise, I locked in and I made it to the FOURTH double my first time getting to 66p from 37. I got 37-70, a run I would do countless times throughout my progression on the level. But this first time was monumental, as it showed that a 37-100 run was possible. Stream 7 I got 49-100 again which was awesome. However, after this, 2.206 came out on June 1 and for whatever reason, I was now completely mindblocked on the level after CBF came back. I could barely get anywhere. However, a few months after this, I switched back to mouse on the Razer Deathadder v2 and things were looking bright again. On Aug 23, 2024, I got my first ever 37-100 run, not dying past 70. I was so shocked by this run as I thought I would have it done really soon. I even did 37-100 again three days later on Stream 11. Then, I really started trying to lock in from 0. The next stream on Aug 27, I got 56, passing the dual for the first time from 0. Later in the stream, I got 56 again. Little did I realize how much of a mindblock 56 would become from here on out. I died at 56 five times before finally getting 57 in Stream 14 on Sep 3. And then later in that stream, I got 60 as well, getting to the spam for the first time! Stream 16 I did 37-100 again on Sep 8, doing it for the third time. After this, I switched to the SayoDevice, and on Oct 2, 2024 in Stream 19, I got my first attempt at the doubles, dying on the third one at 69%. This was also my first list % attempt since I reached 69%. The next day on Stream 20 I did 37-100 TWICE in one stream, making it 37-100x5. Three days later on Stream 22 I did 37-100 for the sixth time, also getting 37-76 earlier in the stream. On Stream 25 on Oct 29, 2024, after dying to the spam four times in a row, I got to the doubles for the second time, getting 69% again. On the first of November offstream, I did 37-100 for the seventh time, and for the eighth the next day. Nov 5 I got 68% on Stream 25, being my third 66p attempt, then on Nov 14 in Stream 31 I completed 37-100 for a 9th time and then beat it backwards as well. Then four days later, I thought I had it. On Stream 33 I got past 66p, the wave after that, then died at the SHIP out of all places. I got 86%. Then way later on Dec 9, Stream 43, I died passed 66p again at 78%, and again on Dec 17 in Stream 46. Then on Dec 21, Stream 48, I died at 74% and had (I believe) 7 66p attempts, more than I ever had in a stream by far. Then, on Stream 49 the next day, my first attempt getting past the dual, I beat it.
Attempts: ~140,000
Placement On List (as of completion): 11
My Placement On List: 10
Enjoyment: 99/100 (would be 100 if last straight fly didn't spam mini and big portals)
This is currently my favorite extreme demon in the game and I had a blast playing it.
