    One of the things I love about Acropolis is it feels like the level isn't built for you; it doesn't care about you. There are these impossible-seeming gaps and awkward angles, and the level doesn't care, you just have to make it work. It makes it feel more immersive, like you're going through an inhospitable area.

    WILT IN THE TOP 5??? thats crazy!!!! im so glad you like it :))
    the theme is usually misunderstood, since it was supposed to be about nature withering and not the seasons, but the limitations we had on the level sort of forced me to only add 2 sections after shulk's green part, so it does kinda look like it goes from summer/spring to fall and then winter

  • @Shulkern
    @Shulkern Před 10 měsíci +46

    24:20, there is NO way my crappy little level placed that high, I am so incredibly surprised by that. and honestly I am EVEN MORE surprised that you put wilt in fifth place. that's just so baffling to me, but it also makes me extremely happy to know that people play these pretty simple levels. I don't intend on being the best, or trying to create something absolutely incredible, but I am nonetheless happy to know that people enjoy these levels (usually).

    i think a "timing level" is a level where the difficulty is derived primarily from inputs that are relatively sparse but very challenging, usually uncharacteristically so for the level's difficulty. i see a lot of timing-based levels are very slow-paced to align with this, as making it higher speed would render it a more conventional, albeit much more difficult, level. timing levels also usually lack wave or ship parts (or at least, the majority of the difficulty is not derived from these gamemodes), as the community generally regards skill for those two gamemodes to be separate from others as "timings."

    Something I adore about Acropolis is how the gameplay in the level feels so against the grain of what you’re used to seeing.
    In the wave sections, you transverse between blocks instead of slopes, and the ship sections are filled with strange slope corridors as supposed to the straight fly sections we’re so used to seeing.

    It's insane how Lit Fuse is almost 8 years old and still is the most mesmerizing GD level I think I've ever seen. Especially the ship part like you mentioned. On paper it's just some cool effects and straight fly gameplay that syncs to the music, but in practice it almost lulls me into a trace with how captivating it is.
    Anyways, I really enjoyed this video overall! I think shining a spotlight on some of these lesser known levels and revisiting the classics is a really cool idea. Can't wait for the rest of the series!

    I have to defend the Duelo update - the looks, sure, maybe, but the gameplay became SO much more fun after the update! I was going for a solo completion of the level when the update came out, and even with having to relearn everything I was happy with it because it fixed so much in terms of predrop jank and made it so it just felt a lot more skill-based. Much more fun after the update :p

    Timing levels are generally labeled as such because they're typically slow speed and can't focus on fast/flow gp. I get your argument but with slow and difficult levels there is definitely more emphasis put on precision as opposed to other levels of the same difficulty in order to make up for it's less frequent inputs, it's almost like a trade-off, the more precise inputs you have in quick succession, the harder the level is generally regarded as

    • @WHErwin

      @@WHErwin It's not really a misnomer. Every click in Gd technically is a timing, but timings-based levels are usually levels that focus on very precise jumps with small input windows. Similar to how every level in gd technically requires nerve control, but longer levels require that skillset more than shorter ones.

    awesome video, definitely serves as a list of great levels to try! (please watch the whole video if you want to read more!!!)
    the much older levels definitely caught me off guard, and im super glad theyre still as appreciated as newer levels are! i especially didnt expect horntail cave to even remotely be on this list, but im so so glad it is. its adventurous feel and intimidating nature are immaculate for and still hold up.
    acropolis is genuinely one of my favourite levels of all time. its grey, claustrophobic theming goes SUPER hard with the specific part of final battle zobros uses, and the theme itself is executed pretty much perfectly in my eyes. the spike jump part before the wave is repetitive, but its repetitive done right. it builds so much suspense, and really makes the following wave part feel a lot more intimidating... and a lot more special, as well.
    i know many people really arent a fan of the gameplay, and i completely respect that, it certainly isnt for everyone! for me, however, it was incredibly fun and pretty consistent! the spike jumps and last wave were an extremely nervewracking pair (i died to them a fair few times), but nonetheless they didnt wreck my experience whatsoever. super glad this level got a place as high as it did, definitely zobros's best work, imo.
    the woogi levels dont need much explaining, really. i absolutely love his levels to bits, with their vibrant decoration and fun, engaging gameplay!
    im stoked for the hard demon video!

I think he just grabbed 50 out of like 100 maybe and called them the top 50 greatest of all time.

    On your question about what a “timing level” is, I’d say that it’s a level which is generally slow paced, or fast faced but with spaced timings so that you’re actually focusing on which frame you must jump, instead of instinctively going through a fast paced level where you rely more on muscle memory and reflexes.

    I believe nebunyx's comment explains timing levels decently well but I'd also like to add that when timings in a level are sparse, you have to rely more on your eyes and reactions rather than muscle memory. Levels like wasureta and cognition have tight timings but you end up relying on muscle memory due to the speed of their gameplay.
    Also I'm surprised Quantum Variations didn't make the list. It was made in earlyish 2.1 and still looks great. The effects match the song and it's super fun imo.

    Imo, timing based essentially means a levels gameplay consists of many tight timings, but with clicks not in quick succession, unlike flow levels such as prismatic haze that rely much more on muscle memory.

    Surprised to not see any Hinds or Hinds-styled levels on the list. FFFFFF by Vlacc is one of my favorite levels in the game with an interesting concept/limitation. Seems like you are more into quirky effect levels than I am.

    Aw i wished reentry made it higher. As a victor of it, it’s my favorite insane demon, and that end section still wows me. But im glad it made the honorables.
    Since you seem to like kiwipenguin’s levels, you should see his new release (still not rated but he has a showcase of it) called Neurostasis. It’s in my opinion the level of the year. It has the complexity of a story but the simplicity of his other works like Dreamer.

  • @SereneLeskovsky
    @SereneLeskovsky Před 10 měsíci

    Usually when i hear or see "timing based gameplay" referenced, people are specifically referring to timing that is intentionally awkward or stunted in certain ways. I still think its stupid to complain about it since using awkward timings is just a way to make the very simple gameplay style of GD slightly more complex and interesting.

  • @zeenoh5811
    @zeenoh5811 Před 10 měsíci +2

    Kidsmoke is the best insane demon imo but you kinda glossed over why I like it so much
    Every single part makes you focus on a specific part of the screen. the first ship part for example has this really hard gap you have to enter, meaning you have to focus on the weird wall thing on the right, waiting to see where you have to maneuver. The wave and that ship part you mentioned has you looking at the flashing structures and memorising where they were so you can pass by them, the first ball has a large difficulty spike that makes you look out for it, the following cube has really strange cube movements and vertical screen scrolling etc
    This ended up having a really weird effect on me while playing, because I focused on the screen in that way, a lot of the really rough deco blurred out and I only really saw the form of whatever the art was. and that's why the level ends up looking way better than it does on a surface level

    I think "timing levels" is reserved for levels that use no memory and have very easy to follow gameplay that is still tight. Sure Nine Circles also needs timing in its gameplay, but the flashes are much more central to the gameplay than timing as in congregation for example.

  • @mageoutlaw9430
    @mageoutlaw9430 Před 10 měsíci

    I think what makes this kind of review great is that it directly contrasts with Robtop's taste for levels. He prefers highly refined and clean levels but doesn't take into accountability uniqueness as much, while you disregard those kind of levels and value the more original kind of levels, even if they are rather rough around the edges. I also think this list is a bit more comprehensible than the extreme demon lists you've done since you also used gameplay to justify some ratings, which you couldn't do for extremes.

    2)Night life, other then the fact that the level is just barely not an extreme demon, the level has a great atmosphere and the pre-drop makes you feel like your going through a city
