Menace Showcase (Solo Top 20) ~ By MannyHeffley

- This is has been my main project for the past few months. It all started with the idea of making a level to an original song. It took a couple tries but i finally got to a point where I was comfortable with the track I made. The overall GD process went pretty quick, taking a bit over a month. This level will be verified by @whizkid0521! He currently has other projects he is working on so it may take awhile before this is beaten. As always, thank you to @UnliMiteR for recording the showcase.
The level's meaning is tied to a existential question I had regarding morality and all things similar. "Should I let go of morality, and if I do, what will I become?" The level contains a bit of a "poem" I made. It's in parenthesis because I don't really consider it to be a poem. I wrote it after finishing majority of the decoration.
Present reality is not aligned with what was preordained
but
Do not paint me a believer of deities
Meaning exists without the divine
Meaning equates to truth
and
The only truth is that there is no truth
The dictation of perception belongs to us
and us alone
This does not mean that meaning fluctuates
from one conscience to another
Meaning is constant
Meaning equates to truth
and
The only truth is that there is no truth
A pursuit of freedom is in vain if one chases something
larger than themself
All things beyond conscience are fiction
True freedom does not exist in circumstance
It exists in thought
however
Neither is of more significance
For thought is circumstance
And circumstance to those unaltered
By existential disquiet is frightening
The only truth is that there is no truth
And that truth is parallel to our meaning
Existing without the divine
This is my only belief
One of verity
One of a menace
I'll leave everything else up to interpretation. I don't find it very fun to have everything right in front of your face. I appreciate all of you watching! I hope you enjoy the level :)) - Hry
very impressive
Holy shit real mindcap man
omg pyramid man‼️

BYE BYE, TO THE SKY🔥🔥🔥

This may be not only one of the most technically impressive levels of all time but also one of the best. It's not always that you see a level that is "technically impressive" but also has soul. This wipes every hyperrealist piece of slop out of existence
preach lolwut
Yeah, the hyperrealist trend needs to stop soon, it’s probably better for everyone
what technically impressive level is there that is souless??
i dunno, seems pretty impressive to me.
@@3ternal33 literally any cherryteam level
the fact that you not only made an insane level, but you *made the song* for it. i genuinely thought it was a silentroom song when i first heard it, how are you so good at making gd levels and making music
wish i had the skill to write and describe my thoughts effectively, wtf this is actually so good
Dude this is so unbelievably cool, easily one of my new favorite extremes. The poem you added is dope as well, really ties in the different sections with the theme of the level. The gameplay looks absolutely insane as well, good luck to the verifier 🙏
HEFFLEY FAMILY DROPPING ANOTHER BANGER🔥🔥🔥
seriously though, this is easily one of the best levels ive ever laid my eyes upon
This level is a real godsend bro, like it's so grandeur and inexplicable, something i haven't seen for a long time. I also want to draw some similarities between the level and the Rainshower music video(and more from Silentroom), as they depict something so sublime and uncontrollable that it's even overwhelming to think of. (edit: I just wanna say that Halcyon by Creo gives off similar vibes(yeah I just add cuz it's pretty cool))
In my humble opinion, I believe that it is just... utter chaos. Randomness. Forces of nature that human has to fall back on legends and myths to explain. Like there's just some events so random and unfortunate that it's like some monsters from higher dimensions messing with us.
It's always a spectacle to witness a kind of visualization so accurate to the description of chaos. I might say it's mind-boggling, reality-bending even (is that even a word lol), especially as we stand face to face with one such entity - the reflection of the altered self. The moment when it shows its true colors was extremely eerie and unsettling to me (partly thanks to the incredible soundtrack too). It's real form is only revealed in the end, in its full glory, but it has always been there, meddling with ourselves, detracting from our glorious beauty, making us act out of character, against our principles, even derailing us. I like the implication that the alternate personality goes hand in hand with the self, that it is impossible to reject as part of a person himself.
This level is truly a masterpiece. From the first walkthrough, I instantly knew that it was more than meets the eyes, and the more I watched, the more I realized how deep it goes. Tbh it was really fun to see how the story just unfurled itself as I tried to figure out its meaning, and to notice some very neat details that you put into the level. This is just a brief summary, and also quite an unorganized one, of my interpretation of the level. I might write a full-fletched review/analysis once I get round to in the future, but no promises for now. (and dw it won't be a Viprin type review)
So until I figure out the whole thing (including the poem ig), it's JUST A THEORY!! :P
But seriously I love this level a lot and did I mention it's awesome? I hope you can keep up the amazing work in the future!
wow, from the song, to the poem, to the gameplay, and the unique and varied designs throughout, this is seriously some fantastic work. the fact that this only took 3 weeks to deco kinda blows my mind tbh, this is the kind of level that makes me hope i can be a level creator in another life, 10/10 one of the best levels on the list for sure. super excited to see whizkid get his first list verification!
If only decks dark got rated 😔
whiz has deadpetals, void, and decks dark but none are rated
This is one of the most creative gameplay I've ever seen holy shit
the theme is consistent but the visuals vary, and it all works well together. also the storytelling with the poem is super cool. great work man 🎉🔥🗣
This could very well be the first legendary top 20
From all the good top levels i have seen so far, nothing beats this in quality and effort, you can feel the work and thought put into this level, via the poem or the aesthetics. And the fact that you let the “meaning” become loose, up to interpretation allows the meaning to expand much more than if it wasn’t truly a work of art.
this has so much character, you did amazing !!!
definitely one of the best levels of 2024
That predrop might be the greatest sequence of parts I’ve ever seen in Geometry Dash, I don’t even know how something like this is even possible. Absolutely sensational.
i dont know why this only appeared in my recommended now but this is fire, great work
Menace shake
i tend to not like list demons, but this is one of the ones i genuinely love and this song is also really good too! easily one of my favorite levels
this might be one of the most visually impressive levels i've ever seen
how did you perfectly cook the steak?! ur a menace to Gordon Ramsey!
I love the fact that such a masterpiece was made by Manny Heffley
Literally how is this so unpopular? This gameplay style is one of the most unique ones I've ever seen and the decoration is also absolutely on point, love the theming. Can't wait for this to get verifed and rated :)
some might say this level looks... menacing 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
i get it i get it the levels name is menace lmao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
This absoluetly bangs. I could probably see this getting epic, Amazing job:)
its so nice to see hard unique levels
this is actually very good, well done
this level is so dope it's insane
the visuals are awesome, the atmosphere paired with the song is fantastic, and it really feels like a breath of fresh air!
❤🔥
This is probably one of the most unique/creative levels I’ve ever seen, wow.
if every list level was this interesting and well made i believe the communitys perception of the list would be completely different, good job
@@kr1t704 kr1t my goat
@@mannyheffley4085 we fw manny heffley in this household real shit
This is amazing
I must say, none of the Wimpy Kid books ever talked about the Manny's secret skills as a phenomenal Geometry Dash creator. This is so mind-blowing!
This is insane! I’ve been following you since I found Manny Challenge in the recent tab and saw your other levels lol
oh this is so fucking sick??? love this, holy damn
Woww i love this level 💯 really amazing job🔥
this is beautiful
Honestly amazing bro
THIS IS SO GOOD WHAT
absolutely phenomenal.
This looks insane 🔥🔥
this is actually so sick
Nice level, looks nice
gotta be the coolest list level i have ever seen
Absolutely beautiful. The effects and design and music and atmosphere are stunning! The gameplay is where this really shines though, your unique use of mechanics never fails to amaze me. You’ve outdone yourself, be proud.
wow this looks pretty hard!
This is crazy man. I have never seen something so unique in forever. Good stuff man.
Really looking forward to this being verified! Awesome work, Manny!
Thank you garbanzo official!
lost for words, definitely one of my favourites
One of the coolest levels I've ever seen if only I could enjoy the gameplay myself
My favorite levels are ones made solo by one guy from out of nowhere with an interesting idea and a passion. Not only is this that, but with you using your own (dope asf btw) song and so many well executed 2.2 features, I think this is one of my favorite list levels coming out. Huge respect for finishing this, very excited to play it.
This level is super cool, wish I was good enough to play it lol
might be my new favorite level of the year so far
How did i only find this now, phenomenal shader usage and work with color as well as design. It looks really unique and original in a way i haven't seen before, may it be the glow, idea or structures, very well made
Extremely original, great level
this is insane bro! even seeing the previews in brain's discord server i had no idea the project was of THIS scale. amazing work man
Incredible
2.2 integration is here is really good. nice level : )
this level is awesome
this is actually the greatest level ive seen. im speechless
This is so fucking awesome good job on making this banger man!
Oh this is AWESOME
The usage of dual gameplay is also absolutely immaculate
this is so sick
Cannot fucking wait to play this man. I love how it does so much without being eye cancer
El mejor nivel de la 2.2 que vi hasta ahora, es hermoso
masterpiece
fire level 🔥
Im amazed
I rly love the song, especially 1:32
this is awesome
oh this is just eye candy man
the color choice was very nice, the effects are phenomenal, and the entire level seems like something out of a cgi section of a movie rather than a geometry dash level. take away the player and structures and you've got yourself a killer visualizer on its own. the song representation is on point, but thats to be expected from the artist themselves lol.
overall just fantastic. i haven't heard of your works before, but this level alone puts you into my mind as a gem of a creator. keep going, i'm looking forward to seeing more from you 🙏
Cooked heavy with this one
This. Is. Sick.
It is so impressive that you have made one of the most original and unique levels that matches a song perfectly, even though there have been countless other levels made in this game. Great job, this is incredible and so beautiful! 👍
You are one of the most underrated creators in GD. You definitely deserve more recognition with you stunning decoration and one of a kind gameplay! Hope this gets epic rated, heck even a legendary could be possible!
Agreed!
good one, manny!
i didn’t know manny had the fine motor skills to make such a banger
edit: HI WHIZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so flipping cool man
looks interesting!
This is so good, my only complaint is that I looks kind of unbalanced, but I’m not nearly good enough to really know. Plus if it is, I’m sure the verifier could fix some of that
The fact that you managed to do all that deco in like a month is insane, this better get at least epic. By far one of if not my favorite top 20 in the game, phenomenal job on this.
GYATT
You WILL make it
you’re definitely a menace for making this level
YOU ARE A GENIUS FOR THE GAMEPLAY AT 2:16 DUDE WHAT
I'm proud of you
This level is wild Jesus Christ
Very nice
sick🔥
I saw this in the background of a gd voice-over video and was interested in this semi-impossible looking level, surprising to find out that this is actually possible and not top 1 lol
from peenos to this is crazy 💀
but fr this is visually stunning and the poem is genuinely thought provoking, it ties the rest of the level together so well, ik you’ve been working hard on this and you crushed it bro 🫡
Fucking beautiful.
I wish i had the skill to enjoy it when whizkid verifies it
I love colors
THIS IS THE ONE
glad to see manny finally made a level about greg
IM ONWY TWEE 🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥
This is the most beautiful deco I've seen since Fusion Z came out.
really unique gameplay
Wow manny heffley making levels
i like.
