[240fps] Broken Signal 100% (Extreme Demon)
Comeback begins probably.
Some of you may remember that I started this level on 60hz a while back (2 years ago now? wtf?) and made some highlights out of my attempts, which you can watch here if you want: • Never Play This Extreme On 60hz...
It’s me getting angry for 8 minutes pretty much.
I managed to get 56% before dropping it because daaaamn this level sucks on LRR. It essentially becomes a slot machine where you can easily develop the consistency necessary to beat it, but whether or not the inconsistent physics let you through decides if you beat it or not. And there are about 6 whole parts which work like this, while the rest of the level becomes free because you can do them every attempt.
I dropped the level, and have had a pretty inactive couple years since then, only beating two extremes in 2023. The only completion I’ve been proud of over the last two years was Malevolent Maelstrom. I haven’t really been sure when I would return to the game - of course the question was when, not if, because you never really quit.
So of course I had to pick this back up, on 240 this time. I spent 3.2k attempts on 60 according to my notes, but jokes on you sunk cost fallacy, I need 5-digit attempt counts to feel bad about dropping levels! Getting back into things was pretty easy going, since as I said before, I had enough consistency to beat it, so as soon as I relearned it the consistency came back. I didn’t even have to relearn it really, just had to refresh my memory a little bit. I got 80 over the course of a couple days, took some time off to study, then beat it the day before my practice exams started (on the 15th).
Playing this with consistent physics is genuinely great - maybe other than the ending cube parts, which I was 100% expecting to die at but got very lucky by fluking from 80. So I don’t really know, maybe those parts aren’t as bad as I think they are. They’re not super hard, there are just a lot of uncomfortable and fast click patterns that don’t really sync with the music, which I really thought would be even tougher from 0. Unfortunately I spent the bulk of my time with inconsistent physics, so my overall experience was just alright. I do recommend this level though, just make sure to bypass.
Attempts: 5572 (3248 old)
Enjoyment: 6/10 (ignoring the 60hz attempts, like 8/10)
