kowareta (壊れた) (formerly known as Gumi) is a 2.1 Extreme Demon collaboration level by Gablor, EndLevel, and Minaxa, verified and published by Gablor.[1] It is Medium-length—only 49 seconds long—but still incredibly difficult. It was rated on 23 August 2019 and remained rated for nine hours before being unrated due to hatred and controversy. However, the next day, it was rated again, though only with a star rating.
Description
kowareta begins with a super precise green orb timing, which the player can skip following the new update. In addition, this part of the level is at double speed and has gravity portals that can confuse the player. After a few seconds, the speed slows, the music calms down, and the player enters a ship sequence with a tight space and several orbs.
After that, the music becomes more intense, the next mini-cube also has a dash orb, and the timings become harder. Next is a short mini-ball with timings, then a cube that changes size, and finally a difficult ship that shrinks.
After that, the player must prepare for the drop. Due to the level's compact gameplay, it is sometimes considered more difficult than Bloodlust. Narrow parts, hard timings and unstable speed signify its tremendous complexity. This extreme part begins as a cube, a mini-ship with a narrow space, a very tight mini-wave with many portals that switch the player's gravity and a ship with hard timings and straight-flying. The complexity does not decrease, and later the player awaits a very difficult swing copter, a dual-spider, and a cube that will turn into a ship. After that, there is another cube with timings like in Plasma Pulse Finale and a narrow passage to a UFO.
Later, the player waits for difficult timings in some ship sequences alongside a UFO. Then, the player encounters a wave that will change size at some point, an extreme cube section along with straight-flying as a ship, before a final cube section along with straight-flying, after which the level will drop in intensity. There is a quick, minor yellow orb timing before the level ends.
