Hip To Be Scared is the sequel to The Shower Scene, the hardest layout I've ever made. This is a similar difficulty, but I found it to be slightly easier, but that's no doubt going to differ from person to person. Making this level was an absolute blast. It took me a pretty typical time of about 2 and a half months and I'm fairly please with the final product. What I'm not pleased with, at all, is how miserable this was to sync from 0. Making sure the gameplay felt consistent and sync-based from start to finish was easily the most torturous thing I've ever had to do in this game. On top of the months it took me to make this, I spent the last 5 days ironing out the kinks of the sync. So if I wanted to playtest the sync of the end, I have to play from 0 which was a horrendously grueling process. GD has a ton of sync issues. Megahack offers some solutions to fix some of said issues, but these didn't help me much, or at all. What did help was some advice from my friend Patch Noob. He told me that GD handles scaled speed portals poorly which can result in some desync issues. It's a pretty dumb issue and I'm not sure why it hasn't been fixed, but he was right. That helped a decent amount in the syncing process.

If you'd like to give this level a try and it doesn't end up syncing for you, I'm sorry. I did everything I could but GD was not nice to me in the making of this level. I hope you can find some enjoyment in it nonetheless.
