'''Heartbeat''' is a 2.0 Extreme Demon collaboration created by [[KrmaL]], [[LmAnubis]], and [[Blaireswip]], and verified and published by KrmaL. It is known for its odd gameplay relative to other levels by the creators, mashing, tight spaces, tricky memorization, and timings. It also contains three verified user coins. It is often regarded as one of the easiest Extreme Demons. It is currently on the Legacy List of the [[Geometry Dash Demonlist|''Geometry Dash'' Demonlist]] and #82 on the GD Mobile Lists, above Alcatraz (#83) and below Insaction (#81).

'''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.


== Gameplay ==
==Description==
The level starts with a half-speed cube section with a series of two-spike jumps. Next, there is a mashing mini-cube segment where the player must deliberately miss one of the blue jump orbs to fall up and enter the next part. This is followed by a mini cube segment with a bunch of mashing and tricks to throw off the player. Then there is a memory cube section with columns of moving orbs, followed by a tricky timing-based mini cube section.
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.


Afterward, there is a section with many tricky jump 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 jump orb. Then there is a difficult UFO segment that features numerous tight timings as well as tricky gravity portals and orb usage. In the end, there is a part with lots of UFO spam.
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.


Then, there is a half-speed cube section, leading into a '''very '''long wave spam section with lots of x3 and -x1 speed and size changes. This is followed by a rather difficult ship sequence with many jump orbs and tricks to avoid. Then there is a rather difficult robot segment with numerous tricky jumps. Last, there is a fairly long cube section with the player flipping around quite a lot as well as lots of memorization and a trick portal at the end. When it does end, the level ends with KrmaL's (as Krazyman50) name and the two decorators, Anubis and Blaireswip (as AirSwipe).
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.


== User Coins ==
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 first coin is located at 5% in the first cube section. To collect it, you need to hit a 4% barely visible blue jump orb on the floor, and then jump through a fake cave passage with a barely noticeable coin.
* The second coin is located at 76% in the ship sequence. To collect it, you must not hit the yellow jump orb after entering the gravity portal. Because of this, you will end up in the lower tunnel and obtain the coin.
* The third and final coin is located at 90% in the final cube section. To collect it, you must jump over the last blue jump pad in the tunnel. Afterward, you will return to the main path using several gravity portals.


== Trivia ==
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 password for the level is 000003.
* The level contains 30,000 objects.
* The level is 1 minute and 54 seconds in length.
* It was initially placed at #20 on the [[Geometry Dash Demonlist|''Geometry Dash'' Demonlist]] on January 6, 2017, above [[Cataclysm]] (#21) and below [[Down Bass]] (#19).
* This level was verified just before KrmaL took a break.
* This level has a fake secret way that allows the player up to 99% before abruptly killing them.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkAA1_eguGs</ref>
* This is considered one of the most hated levels due to the song and gameplay which has tons of spamming.
* The level is impossible on 240Hz due to the last timing.
* The placement of [[Omega]] on April 8, 2020, knocked Heartbeat into the Legacy List of the Demonlist.

Heartbeat is a 1.9/2.0 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

[edit | edit source]

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 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.

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.
