==Description==
==Description==
Backbeat Revenge begins with the screen being rotated. The player starts as a cube, navigating by using green and black orbs. The screen slowly rotates back to normal, and the sequence ends with a yellow pad, followed by a slide transition displaying Camellia's and Darwin's names.
''To be added soon''
 
The next sequence is relatively simple but very flashy. The player must hit the orbs indicated by jump indicators, then end the section with four pink dash orbs and two extra green ones, with the last one leading to the next sequence, which continues with cube gameplay as the scenery turns green. The player must navigate through various obstacles indicated with jump indicators, later followed by a green dash orb leading to a short wave section with an orange scenery, decorated with gears.
 
At the end of the wave section, the player becomes a cube again, this time in dual mode. The background then changes to white, before the text 'BACKBEAT REVENGE' appears, following the song's lyrics. Both icons activate a dash orb and take the player to a dual-gameplay section, where the player must focus on the bottom icon while jumping onto platforms marked with evenly spaced jump indicators. The top icon goes static for some time.

Backbeat Revenge faced heavy backlash due to its flashy, seizure-inducing visuals. At release, Darwin did not provide a seizure warning at the beginning of the level. Many critics reviled the level as unsightreadable, even for those who did not have epilepsy, such as [[Moderators|Moderator]] Incidius:

Despite some users protesting that those who were seizure-prone should not play [[Geometry Dash]], Darwin updated the level to include a warning at the beginning. However, the warning was not present on the Event Level copy because it was update-locked.

The backlash left a long-lasting impact, as Darwin included a seizure warning in the description of his showcases for both M A N I A and TERMINA (only the latter has a warning within the level itself), stating he had 'learnt [his] lesson'.
