Calculator Core (Extreme Demon) by Walroose (On stream) - Geometry Dash [144hz]
429First completion of the year, and a big one to say the least.
I honestly didn't expect this to go so smoothly, with it being a new hardest and everything. I guess this was really just my kind of level in almost every way possible.
I got my first copy of this in late 2021, where I tried to do a 67-100 run for like a month. I finally ended up doing it once right when seriously picking up the level, and from there, learning the level went really, really well. Some parts do have a lot of ass choke points, such as Chuck, Cranky, Zero, Sheep, Realvet, Zest, and Spectex, that were really weird to get down, but they got consistent enough. I'll break everything down part by part.
Isane's part isn't bad at all, the only hard click is the fuckin pink orb before the dual, but it really isn't that bad. Zy's part is fine, only weird part is the wave to ship transition. Tolstyh is fine besides for the last click, but that still isn't bad. Sedgehog has a really shitty ship to wave transition which pissed me off a lot. Cyto was impossible at first, but got really consistent a few days in. Chuck pissed me off beyond belief, its possible to just choke and choke everywhere in that part. Helpegasus is fine besides for the ships, but thats a skill issue. Cranky is probably the hardest part of the level, with the wave dual that fades to black, the swing copter, and the ship that you cant fuckin see. Wally is straightforward, and so is Zero, besides for the wave to ship transition at the start, and a couple clicks at the end. Voltrix is consistent, but it did lag a tiny bit for me on LDM. Starky/Yoonsr is probably the easiest part of the second half, and hella fun too. Cryo is hard at first, but does get better the more you play it. Xaren is very easy to choke with nerves, but most of it is fine. Sheep is a bitch, mainly the light click at 68%, which is super easy to choke. Realvet can be really stupid if you don't know how it works. There is moving object gameplay throughout the entire part, which just makes it infinitely more ass to play. Brittank is fine, but slow ship and sudden speed changes are hard to do with nerves. Cairo's spider was hard to get down at first, but eventually I found a click pattern to do it every time. Zest is very weird, with the sudden speed change transition into the part, the two weird dual waves, and the wave to ship transitions, but thats another part that you can get more consistent at by finding strats. Spectex was fucking IMPOSSIBLE at first, but after pouring thousands of attempts into the part, I once again found really consistent click patterns, and it ultimately really paid off.
I express how much I love duals a lot, and I've gotta say, the duals in this level are hella awesome. This level is mainly duals and timings (and wave but fuck wave ew), so it fit my skillset very well, which is probably how this shit took less than Bloodlust what the hell
I've always loved this level, and its been my favorite top 20 by far for a while. A lot of people call this level ass and shit, but its honestly really good!! It looks very intimidating because of the scattered difficulty and length, but honestly, its tolerable. I'd recommend this for sure, even as a hardest. This experience was honestly really awesome. Great job to Walroose and the rest of the team. Yes, even DN.
