Balengu Vortex by lTemp 100% (Extreme Demon)
Balengu Vortex By lTemp 100%
I started this level about a month ago on October 18th 2021 and I beat it on November 19th 2021. Even since before I beat Prismatic Haze I had wanted to do this level and after I beat 3 more extremes I decided to do this as my 10th and first list extreme demon.
It started off very fun where I did runs of all the waves and the next day did 63-100. Then I started going from zero where I fluked to 46, proceeded to get 60 a few attempts later and right after that I got 62%. after that I got absolutely nowhere for a week straight but I didn't give up and eventually got 72. The next day I got 74% which came out of nowhere after 21 attempts of the day and then the pain started... I never got to the last wave for a week straight until one day I got insanely consistent and got to 60+ almost every attempt. After that consistency burst I got a new best of 82% after 2 weeks of absolutely no progress. Two days later I got 80% and then 82 the next day. After 82 the level felt impossible I was beyond terrified of the last cube and what would happen if I go there from 0 because the ball is literally rng especially with nerves and yesterday I made it past the wave and fluked the last cube from 82% This level was quite a journey and I can't bring myself to hate it. Oh also the sync is absolutely god like so it makes the level even better.
Segments:
0-17: The predrop is absolutely the most boring thing ever made and a huge roadblock from getting far. The best part about the predrop is that it has a click straight out of a top 1 which kills you almost every time you get there. The predrop is easily my least favorite and just all around the worst part of the level
17-37: God this wave fucking sucked. Whenever I would pass the impossible predrop I would instantly die to the first wave because my hand either was too slow or I just sucked at the game. It's better than the predrop but god damn it was a pain in the ass and a total demotivator because it would prevent me from getting far.
35-40: It's a free cube :shrug:
40-61: easily the best part of the level. This is the part where the level would actually get fun and stop being a pain in the ass, however... It was relentless. Killing me at practically every percentage and preventing me from getting to the last wave. I eventually got more consistent and better at the wave to the point that it was basically free unless I did some really stupid shit.
62-83: Easiest wave in the level imo. The first part of the wave looks like its something straight off the impossible levels list but It was honestly quite easy for me. I found it pretty annoying when I was warming up but from 0 it didn't give me that much of a problem. This was easily the most consistent part of the level but nerves really fucked me over during this part.
82-100: How did i fluke this... just how
This part is scarier than the 65 wave in timor. It is objectively the easiest part cause its just triple spikes but they are scary as hell. The ball is borderline impossible and absolute rng but damn I got so lucky wiht the last part.
