'''[[High Life]]''' is a 1.9/2.0 Insane 9* level created by Migueword. It is known primarily for its length, originality, and its notorious buffed remake by [[KrmaL]] called [[Low Death]]. Some people have considered it to be Demon-worthy. The song has since been blocked from Newgrounds for copyright reasons and has not been replaced by Migueword, so the level currently has no downloadable song.

'''High Life''' is a [[Update 1.9|1.9]]/[[Update 2.0|2.0]] Insane level by Migueword. It is known primarily for its length, originality, and its notorious buffed remake by [[KrmaL]] called Low Death. Some people have considered it to be worthy of a Demon rating. The song has since been blocked from Newgrounds for its usage of numerous copyrighted songs and has not been replaced by the creator, leaving the level without a currently downloadable song.


==Description==
== '''Gameplay''' ==
High Life begins with a half-speed cube section featuring a few tricky timings and some memorization. Here, the level shows text displaying, 'High Life by Migueword'. Then there is a moderately hard half-speed ship sequence with a few tight spaces and the text 'Song: Magic Touch by Romos'. Then there is an auto cube part. It displays the text '3', '2', '1', and 'Go!'
The level starts with a half-speed cube section with a few tricky timings and some memorization. Here, the level shows text displaying, "High Life by Migueword." Then there is a moderately hard slow speed ship sequence with a few tight spaces and the text "Song: Magic Touch by Romos." The first coin can be reached by not using the yellow jump orb in this part. Then there is an auto cube part. It displays the text "3", "2", "1", and "Go!"


Next comes a hard dual-wave segment with numerous speed changes and tight spaces, followed by a ball part with some simple timings. At the end of this part, the text 'One More Time' appears. Then there is an easier ship part with a few obstacles to avoid, followed by a short UFO segment with several sawblades, and then a moderately tight wave segment with some tricky speed changes.

Then there is a very long auto part. At the end of this part, there is a short flying part where the text '1.9' becomes '2.0', signalling the transition between versions, followed by a memorization-based ball part. Then there is a UFO section with tricky moving obstacles to avoid, followed by a rather long ship-based boss fight section, separated by two UFO segments.

* The level cannot be copied.
* The level contains 28,476 objects.
* Like [[Phobos]], this level was partially made in 1.9. The rest was created in 2.0.
** The pre-drop (with the exception of some text) was made entirely in 1.9, and the drop (around 40%) to the end was made in 2.0.
* KrmaL was verifying a remake named Low Death, but later he stated that it has been removed and he wants it to just be forgotten. He also stated to "let the level die".
** Many people have tried to revive the level, including [[MetaManZ]], however usually to no avail. Krazy actively discouraged the revival of Low Death.
** On March 5, 2020, KrmaL legitimately verified Low Death, however only revealing the verification video on April 1st as he felt there was no better way to premiere a level that only serves as a joke.
* Some videos of this level (and Low Death) have been blocked due to the song's usage of copyrighted samples.
** The song (Magic Touch) has also been removed from Newgrounds.
**However, a user known as iYuriI has reuploaded the song to Newgrounds. It has so far not been deleted.
* [http://www.conwaylife.com/wiki/HighLife HighLife] is also the name of a well-known [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life-like_cellular_automaton Life-like cellular automaton] with the notation B36/S23.
*[[Cyrillic]], a NoClip hacker, managed to beat this level legitimately in a single attempt run after almost being afraid to die at 82% again.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTgVfOdTFJ8</ref>
*The buffed remake, [[Low Death]] by [[KrmaL]], has boosted the popularity of this level ever since it was announced.

**The remake has boosted the popularity of High Life since its announcement.
**There is another remake called PPLLLife, a physically possible yet humanly impossible version of High Life dedicated to being the Top 1 Physically Possible Levels List (PPLL) level at the time, requiring about 10<sup>17,000</sup> clicks per second to beat it.
*[[Future Funk]] drew heavy inspiration from High Life, as well as the main level [[Clutterfunk]].
