- Hey everyone! This is a new mini-series that I have decided to start, where I take a look at 5 levels of any difficulty that I want to talk about and share my thoughts on. These levels do not have to be necessarily good levels or ones that have been well received by the community, they just have some element to them that I want to discuss in detail. So yeah, this is the beginning of my new series, please tell me what you guys think so I can know if you want to see more of this type of stuff. I hope you enjoy it!

hey guys, i’m really sorry about the audio at 6:27, i accidentally left the original audio from Kapinpis clip that i was using and it overpowers my voice, it only does it for about 10 seconds but it’s still really annoying and it takes away from the momentum of the video; i did skim through the vid before i published it to make sure there were no mistakes like this, but i didn’t thoroughly watch it all through, and this is entirely my fault. i don’t want to reupload the entire video since it would be a pain for your sub boxes, and it’s only a short mistake, though it does kind of ruin that section of the video. i hope you guys understand and i hope that it’s not too big a deal, i’m really sorry about this and i promise i’ll be more careful to check for these things in the future :(
Heinz Mustard IM SORRY
No worries man. ;)
i love the sound of clicks overpowering me when im trying to talk about how good a level is
@@norkbork hey what happened to the deimos verified by npesta? Wasnt that the official sequel to phobos?
3:27 30 minute extreme demon bruh.
Good video tho, would love to see more videos like this.
oops yeah that’s my bad lol i kinda sounded like i was saying 30, i meant 3 haha
Nice sound quality! Thats definitly an improvment :D
This was a blast to watch thank you, these kind of videos are always interesting, i can finally hear some good opinions
Asterios, tapwreck and distraught are all among my favorite levels. I think they're often overlooked by people, while they're actually very good levels to my eyes , with some thought put into it. I really like tapwreck because it reminds me of UserMatt's Core levels (ex: CoreBreaker) and old majacko levels. I really enjoy this style and it fits the song, giving an opressing and heavy atmosphere.
Asterios might not be the best deco level out there but i have to respect it's consistency. Some of the art shown is extremely good, like the one in the beggining. The gameplay is also very appealing with those insane duals. The song was a good pick too. I'm on your side for this one.
And distraught, like you said, is one of the few levels i can re-watch dozens of times without getting bored. The atmosphere is very well executed , with effects underlining the heavy beats of the song, like the explosions in juhou's part or in the last part. The gameplay gives this energetic feeling too, while still being simple.
Sorry this was a bit too long for nothing and basically repeating the video, but i wanted to speak up and say a few words too
Very entertaining video, i'm waiting for more! 🙂
yeahh these levels are all awesome :)
:3
I just found this channel today, and boy am I staying in it
Dude I love this stuff! I never realized all the nuance of Triple Six or Deimos, and it's really rad that you've opened my eyes.
!
Had a blast watching this. Really looking forward to this series!
bro this endscreen for deimos is amazing though. Awesome video btw love the series!
Loving the content. Keep up the good work!
Norbork ur vids r actually so amazing, my favourite youtuber
I really like this idea. I want to recommend you some levels to check out, and potentially include in the next episode:
Eternal Moment by Rainstorm and More
Sephiroth by Rainstorm and More
LOVE by icedcave and Akira Kurisu
Quarantine by Janucha
Seafoam Caverns by Tricks33
On Pointe by TheSentiment
LOVE is awesome
Damn the Blue Yeti sounds great, it makes your videos even more enjoyable :)
I really like the concept of this video keep it up!
Yo this... this is an awesome video 🔥👌
Note to self: Music Vibe and atmosphere + Level = good
I think that Acu honestly deserves much more attention than it has, its one of the easier extremes and is incredibly fun, it also looks really good and I'm honestly usually pretty critical of modern style levels, and the sync and song are both great too, my only real problem is that in some parts the gameplay is weird until you get consistent and that the predrop could be a little better
yea acu is awesome sauce
You should make more of these,
They are really enjoyable
One thing overall that I got from this video is that you look more at atmosphere and ideas rather than pure looks, which is a mindset I wholeheartedly agree with.
GD levels, as stupid as that might sound, are a form of art I sort of. There's a lot that can be done with the right song and the right style, and levels can (though sadly often don't) try to tell a story, or give off a specific idea or feeling. I feel like this aspect is rather unapreciated, even when used great (like in Tapwreck or The Golden), but I do think this is the "next step" for GD levels - the thing that will make future levels better than those of the past. Like Leyak (imo the best level to date in the game), they will use the song, decoration, and even gameplay to create specific atmospheres and deeper meanings.
It's really sad that these aspects go unapreciated sometimes, but I'm glad you're talking about them at least. I feel like everything you said is more or less some thing I thought of at least once.
All in all, great video, and I'm excited for more :)
yes yes yes i totally agree they are an art form, they don’t necessarily have to have beautiful colors and art and block deco to be a good level
Yeah make more of this. I like how you actually mentioned feeling, song and thought is equally as important as the design or gameplay or vice versa. I agree with this but I do think Deimos could represent the phobos gameplay a little bit more but idk that's just
me ig.
yeah i can see why you think that definitely, just personal preference ig
@@norkbork Yeah
Mic sounds amazing
Nice video bro
Ngl great video, keep up the good work
thanks!
I would love more episodes of this series
I really like Deimos and Asterios
voicegasm tbh, also great video!
thankss
I made an auto version of Triple Six. It's such a beautiful level, I've looked at every art piece in the flashy part, they're scary, but beautiful. This is one of my favorite levels if not the favorite.
I love Deimos so much I can’t
nice
now review my level :)
finish it !!!!!!!!!!!
slick
This shit? Now this shits COOL
👍
Only because Deimos is a sequel to Phobos, it doesnt give the excuse to be a bad level, they could use the sequel to fix that.
But that is just my opinion
(And i dont think they did that on purpose xd)
Oh and can you review Requiem?
Basically, Deimos and Tapwreck all do these inconsistencies and have intentionally bad parts in order to fit the song more, or in Deimos's case, it's prequel. I personally really dislike the idea of sacrificing gameplay and decoration quality in order to make it more fitting. I still have respect to the hosts for pulling off that kind of idea, but I think it's much more important to make the level good, and not make it tribute more to the song/a level that came out in 1.9 and was solely made to be difficult. To me they're ideas that really shouldn't have been a way to spend their time, but that's their choice and I'm guessing they all had fun making the levels. But just because the level is more fitting it doesn't make it much better. Everything else I can agree to except mentioning zylenox's gameplay in triple six (which has the same issue I addressed for Deimos and Tapwreck) and you mentioned all the levels as masterpieces, which to me, none of them are. A masterpiece would be something almost perfectly made in all regards, and you did mention that the quality on its own isn't the best out there, so its kind of contradictive of you to say that.
Otherwise great video!
like i said in the vid, i can see why people wouldn’t like these levels, but in my opinion they’re awesome, i just think at the least you should acknowledge why they were made that way and not disregard them as bad levels yknow
@@norkbork yeah you got that point across, I didn't originally think it was intentional, but I thought they were just fine with anything
Bongoo and i do think the use of the word masterpiece is fitting, masterpiece means it is in control of every element and understands what it is doing as a level, in my eyes these levels are masterpieces for the way they show foresight and control their environment. masterpiece doesn’t have to mean the “perfect level”, amazing design, sync and gameplay, which it can, but it doesn’t have to. the communtiy spends too much time chasing these “perfect” levels that don’t exist imo
@@norkbork fair point, but calling something a masterpiece makes me think that you consider then objectively masterpieces, which no level in gd deserves that title imo
I suggest reviewing: Back to Earth by Wulzy, because its an amazing level!
i will check it out!
It’s weird but I love phobos’s gameplay
#RateAsterios
yes.
you have an amazing voice
aw thanks
this
The song is really “chase soundtrack” by Fleetwire but GD screws up sometimes so it says what it used to be so I’m not going that hard
oops sorry i just said what it was named on the game lol
I agree with all of this, Tapwreck is an awesome level, my favorite extreme by far, Asterios looks awesome . Deimos has an awesome atmosphere. Triple Six is one of my favorites. And Distraught is just awesome
#rateasterios
I remember when triple six was first rated as a hard demon lmao
This guy is the secret american kid of sea1997
sea might be a bit too young to have kids
secret way 😕
I think Ouroboros is actually keeping a more consistent theme and colors than Asterios but maybe that's just my opinion
ouro is definitely consistent in theme and colors, but design wise its less consistent imo, and also yeah i just wanted to use this series to talk about levels that people haven't overly praised, as i think asterios is underrated where ouroboros is a fan favorite level at this point lol. talking about it further would kinda be beating a dead horse yknow
@@norkbork i know what you re trying to say. At least its not like all the old countdowns top 10 demons and it would show the fan fav ones like you're saying so its not getting repetetive
continue
Can you do one including Titan Comples?
mayb
I feel like having two top 10 demons called Demos is going to be a pain
yeah but it shouldn’t be too big a deal, with the right context it’ll probably be pretty clear which one people are talking about
You're right but it can get a bit messy without context
Wait another Deimos?
yea, not a remake but the official sequel
I like voice
pretty sure the first level is rated as its on the list
Kitsu it’s not
Kitsu you thinking of aronia
you might be thinking of aronia which is another neiro level, asterios isn't rated yet i don't think and its not on the list
norkbork right mb im an idiot lol
4:39 yeah im "sure" they meant to do that...
i’ve had a super in-depth discussion about it with akira, it’s whole meaning was to be a purposely flawed level and trust me when i say they did it on purpose
@@norkbork just wondering cause it wasn't clear before
extended challenge hmm 7:34
BTW asterios is rated and placed
btcmr123 you might be thinking of aronia, another neiro collab, but asterios has not yet been rated nor placed
@@norkbork my life has been a lie, great video regardless
Asterios: Top 10 worthy
Deimos: top 1 but it will probably get nerfed to 3 or lower
Nah deimos will probably be in 14-25
@Akira Kurisu bruh
@Akira Kurisuwait the version was already top 1 and now swiborg buffed it even more?
Please take a look to Wings Of Angel by JerkRat and others
i’ve seen it, it’s a great level!
@@norkbork please make a review
Hey what happened to the deimos verified by npesta? Wasnt that already thr official sequel to phobos? Why do we need another sequel called the same thing?
-You exaggerated the consistency of Asterios so much. 2:06 is so much different than 2:25.
No, it doen't look like a solo at all, and if it was then it would be a mash of different styles for no particular reason.
-So, if Deimos is a parallel of Phobos, is it going to be hacked xD??? Also, for me making a mesh of different styles isn't what Phobos was. It has it's own style. Yeah there are parts that do not make sense, but 1.9 megacollabs were like that. And Deimos doen't look like that at all. For me at least, it's its own thing.
-Tapwreck is great.
-oMG dON't pLAY 666 at 3AM u dIE dEMon??? (really good haha)
-Distraught (idk if that's the name xD). The first part is kinda generic, but everything after is pretty good.
yeah i might’ve exaggerated the consistency a bit, but i still do think it’s incredibly consistent and the parts do work very well togrther
Yeah, I see how a lot of parts fit very well together. But some others aren't as fitting in my opinion. Very good vid btw.
why do you not upload in 60fps wtf
i
Wasnt deimos verified
no
That’s not Deimos?
I’m confused Deimos has Phobos’s song and extremely buffed versions of Phobos’s gameplay
Deimos is verified???
not deimos by endlevel, watch the video
review my shitty unofficial gamma sequel lol, kappa
rate kappa
nice
