Harm (Unrated Hard Demon) by MisterM, MaxK, and Zipper01 | Geometry Dash
EPILEPSY WARNING!!!
This level is absolutely insane. I first saw it back when it released over a year ago, and it seems that it went under the radar due to it not getting rated. This level has some fantastic effects, and I love how cohesive all of the parts are, despite being made by three different talented creators. All three of the people who made this were prominent effect creators back in 2.0, and it's awesome to see them still making crazy stuff now. The overall premise of being so incredibly flashy to the point where it's genuinely hard to focus on such straightforward gameplay makes this level feel different from anything I've ever experienced in Geometry Dash. Anyone could argue that the Nine Circles levels have done this, but this level is genuinely challenging to look at for a decent amount of time.
There are a few parts that I think are more notable than the others. The first of these, my personal favorite, is the last ship section at 1:37 in this video. The looping background effect makes for a really cool contrast with all of the red pulses, and it looks amazing when playing it in-game. The transition at 1:17 really took me by surprise when I first watched this level, and the way it leads into the spider part afterwards is fantastic. I also really love the wave section at 0:40 mainly due to the designs on the slopes and the pulsing objects that appear with the song.
The overall flashiness can definitely be a turn-off for most people, but I really enjoyed beating this. The gameplay is super fun and got consistent for me after only two practice runs. I recommend beating this, but your eyes will probably hurt if you play it for more than 30 minutes straight. I would love to see this be rated, as the disclaimer at the start gives a fair warning to the player as to what the level has to offer, but I understand why people might think otherwise. I am really looking forward to what MisterM, MaxK, and Zipper01 might make in the future, as I think they did an amazing job here.
Level rating: 8.5/10
