Change of Scene is a 2.1 Epic-rated Easy Demon created, verified, and published by bli. bli created the level for the Discord Gauntlet Contest, a contest hosted by Viprin, with the top 10 best levels being planned to be included in 2 official gauntlets with 5 levels each requiring all entries to have two distinct modes, a normal mode and an alternate mode toggleable at the first 5 seconds of the level. The level was released on May 2, 2023, around 15 minutes before the contest deadline. The level shifts through several themes, being a theater, films, video games, and a simulation. An alternate mode can be toggled on at the beginning of the level, adding bosses to many sections and altering the designs and effects. The 1st mode is intended to feel like pure fiction, with the 2nd mode bringing everything to life with more realistic designs.

Change of Scene won first place in the Discord Gauntlet Contest and will likely be placed in the Split Gauntlet in Geometry Dash 2.2.

Gameplay

• 0-2%: The level begins with an animation of four objects spinning around: a stage, a television, a game console, and a portal, with the caption "Tap to bring imagination to life," If the player makes an input during this part, the text will change to, "Have fun..." breaking all of the objects and causing a face to appear from the middle, signifying that the player has chosen the alternate mode. Otherwise, the player will enter the normal mode. A short spider section follows leading up to the title screen of the level.
• 2-8%: Act I: Desolation of the Dragons: This part of the level is themed around an attack by dragons on a town, the 1st mode is supposed to be a play mostly being made with cardboard and other materials. In the 2nd mode the dragon and town come to life. The lifelike dragon breathes fire at the player, but the player cannot die. This part ends with a small gameplay loop of jumping and using a yellow orb repeated 4 times, with fire flashing in the background.
• 8-15%: Act II: World on Fire: A direct continuation to the last part. The town is burned to the ground by the dragons now and the intensity in the level gets higher, in the alternative mode there are now two dragons instead of one.
• 16-19%: Film III: The Wild West: This part is entirely separate from the first two acts, it’s themed around the western genre in flim. In the 1st mode it uses a vintage feel along with limited, brown-esque colors. The 2nd mode removes the borders and uses more colors. It has a small transition part leading up to the next film with a countdown. After the countdown, an animation can be seen of the player launching into the next part of the level, Film IV: The Seven Seas.
• 20-24%: Film IV: The Seven Seas: This part of the level has only the ship as its gamemode. In the unaltered mode of the level, a purple kraken can be seen staring at a ship during a storm. All the while, the player must avoid crashing into obstacles such as gears and flying through the mouths of monster faces. In the altered mode, the background is green, and rain can be seen pouring from above. Going with the theme of the altered mode, the kraken is alive, and its appearance is purple with a large spiraling red eye. The gameplay is the same, the only difference being that the kraken tries to kill the player by smashing its tentacles together. However, the player cannot actually die to the kraken as the kraken's attacks are out of the way of the path that should be taken. Transitioning from this part will lead the player to the Game Launcher.
• 25-27%: Game Launcher: The Game Launcher is a very short part of the level. The gameplay is basic spider gameplay in which the player must tap quickly to switch platforms. If the player chooses the regular mode, the background is a dark orange with an abundance of lava falls pouring down. The altered mode background is a shade of green with the same decoration, but there is a question mark at the end of "Game Launcher". The player will eventually hit a green orb, but instead of the green orb, the level will suddenly switch to the player becoming a ball and at 4x speed clicking a pink orb, two green orbs, then another pink orb.
• 27-38%: Game V: The Hell Breaks Loose: This part is one of the most intense parts of the level. As soon as the player enters, they will become a robot and must launch themselves up from a platform. The only two gamemodes in this part of the level are the wave and the robot. Inputs are mostly fast, as the level stays 4x speed from the previous transition. In the normal mode, the background contains many things: a pixelated hellish face holding a staff, pixelated fire, lava falls, and three layers of lava in red, orange, and yellow. There are also three hearts in the top left corner and the players' colors in the basic geometry dash icon in the top right corner. The blocks and platforms are also pixel-like. In the second mode, a hellish monster will horns, large spiraling red eyes, and sharp teeth attacks the player with lasers, fireballs, and bites. But, as the level goes, the monster cannot kill the player. The background is now only pillars and rocks with layers of lava in the same colors as the normal mode. Soon after, the player will become a mini-wave and must spam. Although the platforms are slanted, the player can land on them while spamming, making dying impossible. A click counter is located at the bottom right corner of the level, indicating how much the player has spammed.
• 39-48%: Game VI: Enter the Forest Temple
• 48-51%:
• 52-59%: Simulation VII: Inside the Matrix
• 59-70%: Simulation VIII: Beyond Reality
• 71-78%:
• 79-82%: Fake End Screen
• 83-97%:
• 98-100% (End Screen):
