(Second Victor) Noctacide 100% (Extreme Unrated Demon) by AtomicC and more | Geometry Dash
Im gonna be more real with this description, because I wanna give my absolute most honest thoughts on this level.
This level is phenomenal, especially considering what it is. I have always hated hinds levels, hinds remakes, his style, his gameplay all that. This level takes one of my least favorite hinds levels and turns it upside down. Its the same balancing, same deco style and same flow, but the gameplay is so much more barely its insane.
The predrop: The predrop is really awkward but way better than Dance Massacre. The ship in Dance Massacre was a huge chokepoint that was really annoying and would kill me once in a while and make me crash out. In this one though it is alot less brutal and is really fun to do actually.
The drop: The ball in the drop is really fun, somehow better than the dance massacre one. At first I really questioned the excessive sync but that made the part a lot better in retrospective. All I will say is that the slope part is still a bit weird but its not buggy unlike the one in dance massacre that geeks out every other attempt.
The middle of the level: This is where big part of my complains truly come. I didn't enjoy the wave in this level, every single time I died it felt really weird and like if I was just "dying." I can't put my finger on what it is, I just got pissed off at that wave. The wave itself is solid but If I had to point at something it would be the structuring, that part has weird structuring. Now the robot, I do not like the robot, and I believe Jacob also said the same thing so I am not alone. Its just awkward as shit and has really weird/hard timings, which is also the case in dance massacre. I just don't like that flow I guess. Everything after the robot though is extremely fun, both the spider and ufo are really satisfying to do so yea props on that. I would say the big issue in this would just be the awkwardness of the gameplay.
Ending: The ending is just as brutal as in the real level, but unlike the original level, the ship is not BULLSHIT. The ship in dance massacre, and I quote, "killed me more than the twin towers on the fateful day." Meanwhile in this, I did not die to it once because it is CONSISTANT. THIS LEVEL IS CONSISTANT. Who would have thought that If I make a good level with a hard ending, and then make it consistant, that hard ending stops being annoying????? good one atomic, you figured out what hinds couldnt because of all the kids he was gooning to. But yea, I dont like the cube tho I think that was a bit awkward, but other than that the ending of this level is a massive improvement.
Deco: This level's decoration is phenomenal. I normally don't comment this cuz I very honestly dont give a shit, but this level is for sure rate worthy. If not feature worthy. Genuinely surprised this silly cinnamon toast fuck audio expulsion clipfarmer can make this shit look so cool. Some of my favorite parts deco wise definently the first ship, the entire middle, I also love the deco in the last cube, it is simple but so effective. Definently cooked with this.
Overall, this level is phenomenal, and the big downgrades I gave in enjoyment are genuinely just it feeling awkward or personal bias. As well as experience. Deadass great job Atomic, this level genuinely deserves more and needs more recognition. Highly recommend giving it a shot, even if you don't like hinds levels because I fucking hate them and still managed to enjoy this.
Imma do the enjoyment/raw footage/attempts shit later cuz I have a party. anyways have a good day and a good cinnamon toast fuck.
