if you're interested in more recent stuff I've been working on there's my two most recent layouts Cavil ua-cam.com/video/Yw1aPi_BamM/v-deo.html buttmuncher3000 ua-cam.com/video/UnNNjisNae4/v-deo.html and also i make music here ua-cam.com/channels/B-mbQwFbfh0JhcLGnRi1QA.html
this is possible right? (I know it used to be considered impossible but now... not so sure. if you want someone to verify give it to wPopoff or something to give some people a shock (btw if you don't know he is #13 on the list and has beaten space's old unnerfed version of slaughterhouse.)(i don't want some top player everybody knows to verify it since it would be kinda expected)
One of the very few parts imo that’s perfectly matched the vibes that the song Is giving off. Giving very much silent circles vibes with how much the deco changes and is just inconsistent overall. I wanna like this level but it’s looks so bland.
1:11 - 1:23 definitely the best part so far. The subtleties, like the level freezing for a second, the icon fading out, the frames showing mysterious text and the underlying layout, along with the stunning static effect, perfectly captures that unsettling and empty, despite silly, atmosphere characteristic of this level.
My biggest problem with the level is that the deco doesn't match the intensity. There are so many places where it would be such an easy fix to just add pulses that match the song, but without anything like that, the level feels disconnected and boring. Some examples of parts that execute the theme really well are: 1:151:281:41 Edit: mom I’m somewhat well known
I can’t tell if this is genuinely how the level works or if it’s like spliced recordings, but I feel like the way you can see the layout between parts is actually really cool and unique. The fact that the level is completely monotone gives the special ability to kinda have that fit in. Some of the parts, like the sloped spider, feel like they belong slightly less than others, but you can tell there is a consistent theme / deco style. I love the way the level looks and the feeling it brings. The atmosphere is great, kinda scary and desolate, and brings out a sense of fear. The final part with the trees in the bg moving so quickly really exemplify that, making it feel like you’re being chased by something. Great work, I can’t wait to see the fully finished product!! ^_^
@@5742_ we want to kinda stray away from having too many callbacks to the layout because we believe the fully decorated version can stand on its own, even if there's some stuff here and then, we want to fight the whole idea that's going around that the level should've stayed a layout, so yeah
The deco is somewhat decent but I think that: 1. you need to be able to see more the darkness doesnt work for the level. This level has to be scary but its not that scary if you can’t see anything. 2. It needs to be more intense glitchy stuff like that, something encompassing insanity. The only part that does this pretty well is 1:11. The whole level with this atmosphere could make this a masterpiece.
This level needs to be more crazy and creepy imo. Transition at 4:33 just breaks the whole atmosphere, like the word "ready... " before it. It would be better if there were distorted versions, like "taebv?" and that transition like a weird flash with hidden "sycro". Also random distorted and meaningless/things would fit the level so well. I think it important for level to keep atmosphere of a strange and broken dream.
@@GDNashit that’s the point, it does not make sense and is incomprehensible, just like how the song and gameplay feels, just to add a bit of atmosphere
@@Sycro I’m not nacho but I agree really heavily. Please don’t take this as me bashing your work, I think your part as a whole looks great, but that transition is honestly pretty lame and lackluster compared to the way the rest of the level feels. The fact it’s so bland and all you can see if your name and icon (which, i get the usage of your icon, but he looks too happy to be there lmao) it just kinda ruins the immersion for me. Adding some sorta effect even if it’s a fade to black to go w the music would be really cool seeming. Also I thought of a fix to the icon thing, maybe make it flicker between yours and the one from Requiem? (I’m sure it’s been used before that but I can’t think of the first usage rn.) It would be more inline with the rest of the level for sure. All in all, I love your part, but the transition should find a way to be improved. The way the corridor flickers is a really cool touch, especially between each spam intensity. Also the trees w the background flash look AMAZING, i really love that effect. Thank you for reading and I hope you have a good day/night (:
@@roachewy not even a similar one, but try to listen to The Seer from the rock band Swans, its a 32 minutes song with a very dark atmosphere and if you are not into weird genres of rock in general it would be a very extreme, noisy and exhausting travel.
as wherwin said i think exasperation had most character when it was created as that legendary video with no deco... but having it decorated feels inevitable and i loved the way it turned out. great job thycket and the rest
i feel like the dash orbs at 2:10 should have more intense deco, pulses etc just to match the vibe of the song more. but this is still super impressive and i cant wait for the full thing🙂🙂
i love this so much. i thought i was gonna like the layout more because of how iconic the original layout is but you nailed the theme in this level imo. good job to everyone involved!
This level never deserved the immense hate it received. I always liked it because im a sucker for obscure levels. Its even better now that its decorated. I love it.
I'm not joking when I say this, this is the best upcoming list level period. This is just perfection, it makes such perfect use of the song and the deco is so good. This shit has better atmosphere than Slaughterhouse, only this level isn't carried only by the song. I wish I could understand how much effort was put into this, the only level I've watched that has ever put a smile on my face. This is peak Geometry Dash I'm not joking, better than Change of Scene, better than KOCMOC, better than everything. Favourite Geometry Dash level, 11/10. I wish I could praise more. (seriously I know it looks like im joking but I'm not this is truely peak)
i agree with a lot of other people about it needing to have larger ranges between intensities in parts of the song but i jus had a idea 1:33 this part kinda sounds like a chainsaw so it could be cool if the spikes moved like one
this level is actually really cool like unlike peaceful, too kid friendly and Collab level this level throws you straight into this unsettling looking effects and really strange and kinda gimmicky gameplay with really hard timings and kinda dark gameplay.
This level is still alive? Honestly I gotta respect that, I used to hate it but the fact it lives on all these years later is worth giving it credit for. Also I just like how batshit insane it is, it's grown on me lmao
This level looks great and matches my vision of what it would have looked like decorated, very nice job 👍 Edit: Most of the comments I see like it, but a surprising number of people are calling this generic and boring. I don't get it. This is anything but 😐
thanks lol, there's a good bunch of parts that are raw (imo sunyx 1, pumpkeh, chuck, buddler, ihsa, drakarmin, sycro) and a lot of parts that can differentiate themselves from just plain old generic, you have to strike a balance though I think we haven't perfected that balance still, a few parts can definitely get messier, part 1 i think is not a good first impression and i'm looking forwards to see what i can change from it
what the hell, I thought this level was long forgotten and over with in 2017. The last thing I expected was a whole redecoration, hell, even a mention of this level, in the year 2023. Keep up the spicy work
I love this so much, and every part flows very well to me, especially 1:11 to 1:24, love those "glitchy" effects. There is something that doesn't fit that well at all for me, though and it's the white ground pulses from deltaaime's part, it makes the ground feel a little bland (rest of that part is very good, though, only saying that imo it could pulse to a dark grey or something like that and it would fit a bit better). Nice job y'all, I'm waiting for this, I love it! PD: If ever verified, this would be top 1? You ain't nerfing it or anything, right?
we do want to make this top 1 but we are unsure if it can be left completely unnerfed since thats a bit unrealistic, OG exasperation is estimated to be around unnerfed silent clubstep difficulty (that's a bit of speculation though)
Repetitive things is like bad, BUT I have no idea how all these creators managed to make the repetition a good thing, the intimidation and the atmosphere are just stunning. I just love it
The finale is so good. I personally don't like the main idea of it being the forest, because for me this level is like an anomaly, that exists only inside the game, and trying to imitate the game itself and other levels. But the way the ending is created is amazing. The forest itself is glitchy, you clearly can see default blocks behind it and the question mark orbs. Like you can see it attempts to imitate something outside the game, but fails even more. And the wall of spikes on the final second. Just a wall of spikes, the most effective way to prevent the player from beating the stage. The perfect detail. 2:07 Also this moment, when the player falls through the map. Very simple detail, but it makes my skin goosebump. Just like this moment 1:59 , the same thing. A little con: here 3:50 , on the second preview for the level, during the voiceline, the gitches were super intense, like it was destroing the level by being so uncanny. In this preview this feature is missing sadly for me. 4:33 also i love this pulsing pattern, really cool. Also the transition to this small auto part is very epic. The glitch is super fitting here. And about the glitches. Feels like the new preview has less of them than the last one and this makes me sad. You can say anything about the glitches, but this level is a perfect place for them
I forgot I made this comment ngl lol The intensity is fine how it is near the end of the part but in the beginning it just feels a little too calm compared to the song, but yeah it looks good.
The deco is horrible, I expected something truly hideous and bad decored but this deco is very very nice and detailed, personally I don't feel it fits the level, but my respects for all the decorators, what an amazing job!
This kinda looks like a really good combination of levels like Unknown, Firework, Nhelv,Grief etc... I'm no creator, but this actually looks very interesting and it kept me engaged for the whole 5 minutes! (also I might have some bias towards the funny meatball loud impossible map:)
Very good preview so far! I do have some feedback, but this is just my personal opinion. It feels like in some of these parts, glow was tried, but it sort of lacks it. One thing that could be done is to add some low opacity scaled glow to the grounds. The pulsing is so far one of my favorite deco aspects, but maybe tone back on the amount of high-intensity flickering in some parts. I really appreciate the the effort to make a lot of unique decoration that i rarely ever see, even managing to pull off some very thought out design, atmospheres, and effects, all while using some of the most basic blocks in the editor. The deco so far has a pretty consistent good quality. I love the fact that the level constantly looks back on the old layout, and reminding the player/viewer of the old “design”, while showing off the very solid new decoration that fits the song well. Some of the parts are a lot darker that others that are very flashy and light, a little more consistency with the lighting would be amazing.Keep up the good work!
here's what i think the "lore" of this song is. It's probably a very old audio file or vhs tape of a son and a dad. Idk if it is or not but listen at 0:55 - 1:00
I would love to see a story created. A suggestion for the story is: You are trapped in a forest. This forest somehow seems to change shape and form, and it tries to trick you with several forms of reverse psychology, and it's fog that also hinders your ability to identify anything familiar to the original game that you were once in. The forest presents you with a way out after so long of being stuck in it. However, thinking that it's a trap, you don't go for it at first, only later you discover that it isn't a trap and run for it as fast as possible, wanting to get out. In the final moments, you see spikes before you, but you don't stop. *You've seen this before, the last several times you tried to beat exasperation.* General description: You hear faint voice recordings in the background of people who had once been here becoming mentally insane, and as the forest around you changes form into caves, buildings, complexes, mazes, flooded with things that could kill you, you traverse until you see the forest again. You feel your insanity taking over, and only as you run for the exit do you realize that you've been tricked-(END).
I was watching this on phone with my pc headphones on and didnt realize how loud my phone volume was so a couple minutes into the video my dad just yells from across the room "what the hell are you listening to?"
To be honest, I like exasperation without the deco. The old exasperation has a certain charm to it that makes you really uncomfortable watching the level. Having it decorated just remove a lot of it's eeriness and now this level just looks like firework. Some of the parts looks dope tho good work
It looks amazing, though I think the flashing in the beginning can be a little less, because people will see that SO MANY TIMES while trying to verify this one day. EDIT: rewatching it only Linox part is a little heavy on the flashing
Honestly it’s not that intense, I think it’s livable. If it was something more like 18% then I’d agree. But again, I feel like unless you’re playing with full brightness in pitch black, the beginning would be fine.
1:28 Just sends shivers down my spine I would love the whole level to be this type of Desolation A simple you shouldn't be here No one is asking you to leave You are just not supossed to be here I feel like some parts dont really catch this atmosphere Some just basically remind me to Firework I love Firework but its nowhere near where I would love the atmosphere of this level to finish being Firework is some kind of inminent god like threat Exasperation feels like the lost of all hope But also a little bit of unknown threat like when you saw a horror movie as a kid and next thing you needed to do was go to bed In the dark Some parts need a more (Not supossed to be played) vibes and less (cool gray level) vibes I hope I expressed my feelings and criticism meant to be constructive in the right way Love the hard work and Love the masterpiece that is coming from it
with how badly his videos aged he's made a weirdly accurate prediction when he compared the decorated project to phobos (back in 2017 when the decorated project was completely different) claiming it would have a flurry of unknown creators
please keep it in its unnerfed state . having it possible would remove the only remotely interesting thing about it , as good as the decoration fits and looks for it , having it as another list demon would be drastically disappointing especially with a level in where the gameplay is mainly gimmicky
If there’s one thing that defines this level it’s “Abrasive”. There’s a good number of places where I think they don’t go far enough with that idea; parts that look perfectly fine deco wise but are weak in conveying the pure insanity of the gameplay and music (A good example being 1:25 and 2:59) I’d suggest more full screen effects ‘layout flashes’, and just some more spice on even the quieter sections that really convey what’s going on in the music. I love the parts that really lean into the glitchy, unstable manner of the level such as 2:04. I’m so glad this level is getting decoration and attention, it’s truly one of the most unique levels in the game due to just how raw and insane it is.
Thank you for the feedback, i did notice what you're saying about some parts not matching the intensity of the song, we're probably doing something about it I'm kinda against adding too many 'layout flashes' because i'm trying to fight the idea of "this should be kept a layout!"
this level has planty of potential as a megacollab and a former impossible level, but here's my review: I don't like the ground spikes in HaellM's part. Kacurro's part needs more variation in spike design, and the saw design is too basic. SunyX's part feels mysterious and lacks synchronization at 0:31. Linox's part has a "churchy" feel, and the fake orbs at the end look messy. Pumpkeh's part lacks contrast in block design and has a spike design reminiscent of another level. SunyX + M3dinaGX's part has lazy block design and needs improvement in ground spike design. XCMINES + Sycro's part has excessive pulses despite a mute song. Chuckgamer1's part has basic spike design and visual bugs in pulses. Wabug's part has overly basic design, too much electricity, and an unappealing hanging structure. Fleym's part has basic block and spike design but intricate pulses. Ihsa's part feels calm and lacks synchronization. GDNacho's part relies too much on glow and has generic spike design. Schizonek + Gother's part doesn't fit the level, feels medieval, and has repetitive orb design. Deltaaime's part has disliked fence structures, repetitive saw design, and generic block design. Mexui + Kacurro's section feels generic, and Duke's unfinished part lacks creativity. Ballistic's part is skipped. Skywalker2016's part has repetitive block design. Juanchus04's part copies spike design from another level and feels similar to Skywalker's part. Hakim Bey's part is too "bricky" and messy. Sycro's part at 4:28 feels early 2.1, and showing names during the level is unnecessary. In the final wave, remove trees, improve pulse synchronization, and eliminate generic ground spikes and rocks. Remove occasional reveal of default blocks. Sycro's part at the end feels too bushy, and approaching spikes seem like a last-minute addition, lacking creativity. well thats it, im not hating on the level, i know it's unfinished, but i don't think it's "95% done", i'm just stating that i should be the polisher of the level, since i am decent at decorating levels because i have done that before twice.
Holy crap I searched exasperation out of curiosity and didn't expect activity of the level to be this recent. Great job sticking with the level 👍 Edit: THE HOST IS GDNACHO??

I personally don't like the main idea of it being the forest, because for me this level is like an anomaly, that exists only inside the game, and trying to imitate the game itself and other levels. But the way the ending is created is amazing. The forest itself is glitchy, you clearly can see default blocks behind it and the question mark orbs. Like you can see it attempts to imitate something outside the game, but fails even more. And the wall of spikes on the final second. Just a wall of spikes, the most effective way to prevent the player from beating the stage. The perfect detail.
2:07 Also this moment, when the player falls through the map. Very simple detail, but it makes my skin goosebump. Just like this moment 1:59 , the same thing.
A little con: here 3:50 , on the second preview for the level, during the voiceline, the gitches were super intense, like it was destroing the level by being so uncanny. In this preview this feature is missing sadly for me.
4:33 also i love this pulsing pattern, really cool. Also the transition to this small auto part is very epic. The glitch is super fitting here.
And about the glitches. Feels like the new preview has less of them than the last one and this makes me sad. You can say anything about the glitches, but this level is a perfect place for them
6 years i’ve known about this level. crazy how far it’s come
not only is this level better than i expected but i love how it feels the same as original level with deco. amazing job.
He esperado esto hace mucho esta increíble como va quedando 🤍🖤
I love how this level is amazing looking, but is still reminiscent of the original level. can’t wait for the full showcase!
Sycro just casually making the most atmospheric part, and at least my favourite
The decoration captured the level perfectly
4:40 this part should be a lot more intense.
wdym is more intense than taco's part in grief
I think its fine
out of all the lackluster parts in this level you chose the best one? huh...
What are you on about? The end part of the level matches the intensity of the perfectly, I thought it was really well made.
I forgot I made this comment ngl lol
The intensity is fine how it is near the end of the part but in the beginning it just feels a little too calm compared to the song, but yeah it looks good.
God I love the effects and lightning. It could probably be more intense in some places, but this is just amazing. I cant wait to see this completed!
I like how the whole level just explodes at the end
looks wonderful, I love the style of it, the song always unsettled me a bit
1:12 my dad loved this part so much he fell on the ground and started shaking!
i don’t know if that is what happened… might wanna get a doctor
🤯 That's mindblowing
The deco is horrible, I expected something truly hideous and bad decored but this deco is very very nice and detailed, personally I don't feel it fits the level, but my respects for all the decorators, what an amazing job!
I really am excited for this to get finished, ive been wanting this level to be decorated for so many years now...
That statement was merely a jest young one, now surely you'd understand it?
What the hell this looks so good but a nightmare to play
Criticism: The effect at 2:51 should last until the spicy meatball comes (until skull's part end)
Another critism: Some people may not like it but I feel like sycro's part would be much better with screen effects like taco's part in grief
might
@@GDNashit add the text effect from tacos part but have it say mamna mmia GENIUS!!!!!!!
I'm so hyped up for this OMG, just a little bit creepier and messier and then it's just perfect Exasperation
4:35 INSANELY GOOD
This kinda looks like a really good combination of levels like Unknown, Firework, Nhelv,Grief etc...
I'm no creator, but this actually looks very interesting and it kept me engaged for the whole 5 minutes!
(also I might have some bias towards the funny meatball loud impossible map:)
Damn this is actually looking really good now I'm not gonna lie
Very good preview so far! I do have some feedback, but this is just my personal opinion. It feels like in some of these parts, glow was tried, but it sort of lacks it. One thing that could be done is to add some low opacity scaled glow to the grounds. The pulsing is so far one of my favorite deco aspects, but maybe tone back on the amount of high-intensity flickering in some parts. I really appreciate the the effort to make a lot of unique decoration that i rarely ever see, even managing to pull off some very thought out design, atmospheres, and effects, all while using some of the most basic blocks in the editor. The deco so far has a pretty consistent good quality. I love the fact that the level constantly looks back on the old layout, and reminding the player/viewer of the old “design”, while showing off the very solid new decoration that fits the song well. Some of the parts are a lot darker that others that are very flashy and light, a little more consistency with the lighting would be amazing.Keep up the good work!
here's what i think the "lore" of this song is.
It's probably a very old audio file or vhs tape of a son and a dad. Idk if it is or not but listen at 0:55 - 1:00
my guy if you look at the NG description he made this while he was drunk
I would love to see a story created. A suggestion for the story is:
You are trapped in a forest. This forest somehow seems to change shape and form, and it tries to trick you with several forms of reverse psychology, and it's fog that also hinders your ability to identify anything familiar to the original game that you were once in. The forest presents you with a way out after so long of being stuck in it. However, thinking that it's a trap, you don't go for it at first, only later you discover that it isn't a trap and run for it as fast as possible, wanting to get out. In the final moments, you see spikes before you, but you don't stop. *You've seen this before, the last several times you tried to beat exasperation.*
General description: You hear faint voice recordings in the background of people who had once been here becoming mentally insane, and as the forest around you changes form into caves, buildings, complexes, mazes, flooded with things that could kill you, you traverse until you see the forest again. You feel your insanity taking over, and only as you run for the exit do you realize that you've been tricked-(END).
In shorter form, I imagine this level as a sort of forest that makes you comfortable with the unknown until you see what you know.
Mama mia thats a spicy meatball
yeah guys ignore the percentage skip at 2:50 anyways really great showcase i cant wait to see it when its done!
I was watching this on phone with my pc headphones on and didnt realize how loud my phone volume was so a couple minutes into the video my dad just yells from across the room "what the hell are you listening to?"
This is so nice and calm! I love it!
I really like this level but I hope you guys buff it back to the original layout
To be honest, I like exasperation without the deco. The old exasperation has a certain charm to it that makes you really uncomfortable watching the level. Having it decorated just remove a lot of it's eeriness and now this level just looks like firework. Some of the parts looks dope tho good work
It looks amazing, though I think the flashing in the beginning can be a little less, because people will see that SO MANY TIMES while trying to verify this one day.
EDIT: rewatching it only Linox part is a little heavy on the flashing
Honestly it’s not that intense, I think it’s livable. If it was something more like 18% then I’d agree. But again, I feel like unless you’re playing with full brightness in pitch black, the beginning would be fine.
@@5742_ yeah, if anything the first few parts are less intense than they should be
my bad
1:28 Just sends shivers down my spine
I would love the whole level to be this type of
Desolation
A simple you shouldn't be here
No one is asking you to leave
You are just not supossed to be here
I feel like some parts dont really catch this atmosphere
Some just basically remind me to Firework
I love Firework but its nowhere near where I would love the atmosphere of this level to finish being
Firework is some kind of inminent god like threat
Exasperation feels like the lost of all hope
But also a little bit of unknown threat like when you saw a horror movie as a kid and next thing you needed to do was go to bed
In the dark
Some parts need a more
(Not supossed to be played) vibes and less (cool gray level) vibes
I hope I expressed my feelings and criticism meant to be constructive in the right way
Love the hard work and Love the masterpiece that is coming from it
This level will get its top 1 status robbed by another level with intense amounts of wave sections and frame perfects with the most generic deco ever
no way you think a generic top 1 will overtake this shit
@@idunno6844 if it happened to silent clubstep it will happen to exasperation
Wasn't a fan of how this was looking originally but it's much better now and definitely fits the level, great stuff.
originally as in preview 2 or something before that?
I like when every level in modern gd looks the same!
man this level is crazy, can't wait to play it
Anyone remember when SEA made a whole video on this level shitting on how bad it was?
Look at how far it's come now
that was his worst video
with how badly his videos aged he's made a weirdly accurate prediction when he compared the decorated project to phobos (back in 2017 when the decorated project was completely different) claiming it would have a flurry of unknown creators
Haven’t seen this level until now, def one of my favorite upcoming extremes!! Loving everything about it🤩
Who will verify this level? :0
Honestly really dig with the idea of exasperation being a top one impossible level. The last 20% is so intense and surreal, I love that.
kinda made me remember some parts of my silent unknown collab especially sunyx parts, good level
This is so unique, I love it dawg ❤
2:42 jennifers body - ken carson
nah
Im so glad my favourite impossible level is getting such a good decorated adaptation!
please keep it in its unnerfed state . having it possible would remove the only remotely interesting thing about it , as good as the decoration fits and looks for it , having it as another list demon would be drastically disappointing especially with a level in where the gameplay is mainly gimmicky
we will revert it back to unnerfed most likely yes yes
also maybe it can be verified unnerfed because it's not humanly impossible
@@ayuu7It's possible but it's miles harder most of upcoming top 1's. It has 2 240 frame perfects which is hard enough for a list demon.
If there’s one thing that defines this level it’s “Abrasive”. There’s a good number of places where I think they don’t go far enough with that idea; parts that look perfectly fine deco wise but are weak in conveying the pure insanity of the gameplay and music (A good example being 1:25 and 2:59) I’d suggest more full screen effects ‘layout flashes’, and just some more spice on even the quieter sections that really convey what’s going on in the music. I love the parts that really lean into the glitchy, unstable manner of the level such as 2:04.
I’m so glad this level is getting decoration and attention, it’s truly one of the most unique levels in the game due to just how raw and insane it is.
Thank you for the feedback, i did notice what you're saying about some parts not matching the intensity of the song, we're probably doing something about it
I'm kinda against adding too many 'layout flashes' because i'm trying to fight the idea of "this should be kept a layout!"
@@GDNashitThat’s fair. Thanks for reading and best of luck. Can’t wait for this thing to reach its full potential!
this level has planty of potential as a megacollab and a former impossible level, but here's my review:
I don't like the ground spikes in HaellM's part. Kacurro's part needs more variation in spike design, and the saw design is too basic. SunyX's part feels mysterious and lacks synchronization at 0:31. Linox's part has a "churchy" feel, and the fake orbs at the end look messy.
Pumpkeh's part lacks contrast in block design and has a spike design reminiscent of another level. SunyX + M3dinaGX's part has lazy block design and needs improvement in ground spike design. XCMINES + Sycro's part has excessive pulses despite a mute song.
Chuckgamer1's part has basic spike design and visual bugs in pulses. Wabug's part has overly basic design, too much electricity, and an unappealing hanging structure. Fleym's part has basic block and spike design but intricate pulses.
Ihsa's part feels calm and lacks synchronization. GDNacho's part relies too much on glow and has generic spike design. Schizonek + Gother's part doesn't fit the level, feels medieval, and has repetitive orb design.
Deltaaime's part has disliked fence structures, repetitive saw design, and generic block design. Mexui + Kacurro's section feels generic, and Duke's unfinished part lacks creativity. Ballistic's part is skipped. Skywalker2016's part has repetitive block design.
Juanchus04's part copies spike design from another level and feels similar to Skywalker's part. Hakim Bey's part is too "bricky" and messy. Sycro's part at 4:28 feels early 2.1, and showing names during the level is unnecessary.
In the final wave, remove trees, improve pulse synchronization, and eliminate generic ground spikes and rocks. Remove occasional reveal of default blocks. Sycro's part at the end feels too bushy, and approaching spikes seem like a last-minute addition, lacking creativity.
well thats it, im not hating on the level, i know it's unfinished, but i don't think it's "95% done", i'm just stating that i should be the polisher of the level, since i am decent at decorating levels because i have done that before twice.
39% (2:23) feels surreal for some reason i know it's just blank but it feels so odd even watching it
0:57 dads when they tell the worst joke humanly possible
How our parents walked to school:
This is one of my favourite impossible levels, now I love it it even more because holy this looks freaking awesome
love how you kept the deco on the starting structure
Holy crap I searched exasperation out of curiosity and didn't expect activity of the level to be this recent. Great job sticking with the level 👍
Edit: THE HOST IS GDNACHO??
that'd be me
I loved the part where he said “it’s exasperation time!” and exasperationed all over the place
exasperating
This level is so exasperating i can feel the exasperation coming inside of me
this feels like a fever dream, and a scary one lol
1:56 delete torches please, it's ruin level them
no it doesnt
I agree, it really make some nice detail honestly
I’m so exicited for this level man it’s almost done and people have gotten close to verifing
holy shit i cannot believe this level is being finished
I'm... really not understanding these complaints this looks incredible
ESPECIALLY that final wave oh my gosh
