Fire Aura
“quote~ originator
Fire Aura is a 1.9/2.0 solo Harder 7* level created, verified and published by Sumsar. It is the fourth level in the Lava Gauntlet, after Frontline Full and before Danger Zone. Many consider it the hardest level in said gauntlet.
Gameplay
The level begins with an easy cube section with some orbs and invisible spikes. Next, the player enters a double-speed ship sequence, which can be done easily by following the arrows. Then, the player enters a somewhat difficult wave segment. Next is an easy ball section and a short cube section. Afterwards, the player enters a triple-speed wave segment and becomes a dual-wave. It is considered the hardest part of the level, requiring fast inputs and spamming, and the player must perform difficult manoeuvres as a dual-wave.
Then, a fast ship sequence appears. The player enters a fairly difficult UFO segment with some gravity portals. Following this is a relatively easy ball section. Next, there is a tricky mini-ship sequence with some tight spaces. The player enters a fast-paced yet easy cube section except for a troll orb at 93%. The level ends with an easy and half-speed mini-wave dual.
User coins
- The first coin is located at 38% in the cube section. To collect it, the player must jump from the pink orbs, not from the yellow.
- The second coin is located at 55% in the wave segment. To collect it, the player must travel above the tunnel with the entrance to the portal.
- The third and final coin is located at 98% at the double-speed wave segment. To collect it, the player must go in and out of the wall through a special small space. This coin is risky since it is at the end of the level.
