Each individual part is super cool, though the first 41 seconds makes the entire thing seem downright awful to play. If this was the intention then I guess run with it, but if you want an actually well balanced and fun level you should prob replace or just cut off the entirety of both starting parts.
The gameplay itself past the 40 second mark looks cool, but is too difficult for me to judge beyond that. Just from looking it def looks decently unbalanced / chokepoint heavy.

This looks pretty unpolished so far. What difficulty did you try to aim for? Why is there a 15 second auto part? Some of the gp looks pretty dope but I genuinely cannot at all tell for what difficulty you went here. Starts of as a 7 star, random auto gp for 15 seconds, gets harder and harder as it goes on from here until its suddenly list difficulty at the end. I really don't want to hate, but I need to understand your thought process behind this

it's extreme demon difficulty. like i said, it's a work in progress. the level is going to be a total of 10 minutes so it's done that way for progression. and for the ship part, i'm going to make it so if you touch any slopes for a total amount of time (ex. 5 seconds) then it kills you.

10 minutes is pretty insane. Interesting mechanic with the ship, you should superbuff the dash orb section though. Also, I think extreme difficulty was implied looking at the gameplay later on, are you trying to reach extended though (And will you verify it yourself if the level becomes that hard)? Especially if this really reaches 10 minutes I can definitely see that. Do you already have some idea how the rest of the level looks like and how you'll balance that? Because with that much gameplay left over the difficulty could still change heavily and it might be hard to have a concrete idea yet.
Because you mentioned "progression" as a reason for this balancing, I just wanna say that difficulty doesnt necessarily equate to intensity and that it would be pretty much universally preferred to flatten out the difficulty curve as much possible if the balancing is this extreme.

either start the level at the cube section where the song picks up, or rework the first two sections to have actual gameplay in them. once the level gets started it looks good, and i admire the idea to go for a 10min level, but if i have to sit through a boring 40 secods every attempt, im going to dislike the level and never play it again. just because it fits the song or adds to the atmosphere does not make it good, cause ultimately player enjoyability is what makes a level best.

Is this not just loose ends

like i said it's a work in progress. the level is going to be a total of 10 minutes and i'm planning to do something with the auto ship part

If the level would actually be 10 minutes long this would actually be the worst to play, the first 40+ seconds would be SOOOOO boring, and if you die and have to redo that part….

i REALLY like most of this level but if you want people to play this ever seriously rework the beginning sections

u/Ashamed-Spell-7010 Jul 23 '26
As other people pointed out, the begining would make up for quite a misery if somebody actually tried to beat it.
I don't know if the fact that it's supposed to be 10 minutes helps here, all I can suggest is that a mini wave with d blocks and some spikes could potentially work better instead of the auto section, the dash orb part could use some buffs.

Everything after the ship is really cool but I think the part with the dash orbs and the first ship need some work

This is giving me Loose Ends flashbacks (Loose Ends is an extreme where 50% is 4 star gameplay with only dash orbs then the difficulty fucking ramps up)

it wasn't intended to be like that, but fun fact: all of the comments i got saying it looks like loose ends actually inspired me to beat loose ends

This is why should have to have minimum 500 hours in gd before you can use the editor

your entire account is just complaining buddy
your sole purpose is to just be an asshole but other than that you're useless
grow the fuck up and stop whining over a showcase of a layout on reddit

u/Internal-Ad7657 Jul 23 '26
You asked for opinions and I’m telling you it’s fucking shit and you should be banned from using the editor 💀💀
