'''Heartbeat''' is a [[Update 1.9|1.9]]/[[Update 2.0|2.0]] Extreme Demon collaboration level by [[KrmaL]], [[LmAnubis]], and EternaswipVMAX, verified and published by KrmaL. It is themed around the inside of a heart beating, hence the name, and is known for its awkward gameplay relative to other levels, as well as spamming, tight spaces, tricky memorization, and timings. It was regarded as one of the hardest Extreme Demons at the time, but it is now one of the easier Extreme Demons nowadays.


==Description==
== Gameplay ==
Heartbeat begins with a half-speed cube section with a blind jump and consists of several sets of double-spike jumps. This section has a dark atmosphere with the background flashing dark red at the music's beat of a heartbeat. The jumps get harder, and the music speeds up. The next part contains some invisible orbs that the player must hit to continue. The part after is blue orb spam with a fake ceiling, which the player must deliberately miss one of the blue orbs to fall upwards.
The level starts with a slow cube with a series of two-spike jumps. Then there is a mashing cube part where the player must miss one of the orbs to go to the next part. This is followed by a mini cube with a bunch of mashing and tricks. Then there is a memory cube part with rows of moving orbs, followed by a tricky timing-based mini cube. Then there is a section with many tricky orb configurations with many gravity portals. Then there is a ball part with a lot of memorization and timings. This is followed by a similar dual ball segment. Then there is an easier ball part followed by a cube part with a single orb. Then there is a difficult UFO part that involves many tight timings as well as tricky gravity portals and orb usage. At the end, there is a part with lots of UFO spam. Then there is a slow cube, leading into a '''very '''long wave spam section with lots of speed changes. This is followed by a rather difficult ship section with many orbs and tricks to avoid. Then there is a rather difficult robot part with many tricky jumps. Then there is a rather long cube part with lots of memorization. At the end of this, the level ends with [[Krazyman50|Krazyman]]'s name and the two decorators, Anubis and AirSwipe.


The next part is a mini-cube section with a bunch of spam and tricks to throw the player off. Next is a double-speed memory cube section with columns of moving orbs, followed by a spike corridor with a row of pink orbs that requires the player to hit the middle of the orbs. Afterwards, there is a memory section containing many tricky orb configurations with gravity portals, including orbs inside portals.
== Trivia ==
* This level was verified just before Krazyman50 took a break.
* This level has a fake secret way that takes you to 99% and kills you.


Afterwards, there is a ball part with a bit memorization, speed changes, and timings, followed by a similar dual-ball segment, and the music gets intense. This dual is more basic tight orb inputs, but one of the slopes is accidentally inverted.

Next, there is an easier yet tricky ball part, followed by a cube part with a single orb. The music ramps up in intensity before transitioning into the UFO. This difficult UFO segment features numerous tight timings and requires a bit of spamming, as well as tricky gravity portals and orb usage. After that, there is a row of alternating yellow and blue gravity portals that syncs with the music. Then there are more basic UFO timings, ending the part with lots of UFO spam, having spikes gradually poking upwards. This section leads to a brief auto cube section at half speed that drops the player downwards as the music drops.

The player enters a long wave spam section, switching from triple speed and half speed, and features size changes, everything syncing with the music. The platforms move up and down; the required spam gets tighter as the player slows down, and the space becomes more open when becoming mini, which also well syncs with the music. This sequence repeats a couple of times. Afterwards, there is a memory wave sequence with more speed and size portals, culminating in a dual at the end. After the dual, there is a tight wave spam containing even more speed portals that requires going through shrunk corridors to the corners at half speed, which goes up and then down, before ending it with mini-wave spam at triple speed.

The music calms down and transitions into a double-speed ship sequence with many orb timings, tight manoeuvres, and memory sections, ending it off with a straight-fly with spikes closing in. Next is a half-speed robot segment with numerous tricky jumps that are hard to see, then some memory in the middle of the segment, before ending with a climb to the next part.

The final part is a fairly long cube section consisting of some orb-in-portal inputs that require the player to flip around quite a bit, with a final trick portal at the end, which is a tight timing. The level ends with text of the creators' names, 'By AirSwipe Krazy Anubis'.

==User coins==
[[Category:Extreme Demons]]
*The first coin is located at 5% in the first cube section. To collect it, while upside down, the player must hold jump to avoid activating a barely visible blue orb in a block after landing, which takes them through a fake cave passage below with a barely noticeable coin.

*The second coin is located at 77% in the ship sequence. To collect it, the player must avoid hitting the yellow orb after entering the gravity portal to enter the lower tunnel with a bit harder spike obstacles and obtain the coin.
[[Category:2016 levels]]
*The third and final coin is located at 90% in the final cube section. To collect it, the player must jump over the last blue pad in the tunnel and hit an orb inside a gravity portal above with the coin. Afterwards, the player returns to the main path using several gravity portals.

*There is an inverted slope in the ball section at 29%, which could make the transition inconsistent.
**On 22 July 2025, [[KrmaL]], in response to a Twitter post, acknowledged that creators back then had no way to view hitboxes, and he crashed at this section many times while verifying, not knowing why until like eight years later.<ref>https://twitter.com/Krazyman50/status/1947747519229755631</ref>
***KrmaL would jokingly update and 'fix' the part by switching the inverted slope from the top to the bottom.<ref>https://twitter.com/NotCeltagd/status/1947846595250425928</ref>
