MindCap is an Egyptian level creator and player. He is mainly known for hosting numerous mega-collaboration projects, such as Gamma, its official sequels Sigma and Omega, the dual-based Extreme Demon Celestial Force, the memory-based Extreme Demon LIMBO,[1] and the orb-based Extreme Demon ORBIT.
History
MindCap created his YouTube channel on 27 February 2013, but he did not upload any videos until four years later. His first upload was on 4 February 2017, a relatively tight four-second-long wave challenge level.[2] His next video was uploaded on 2 May 2017, in which he showcased his part in a collaboration level.[3] On 21 June 2017, MindCap uploaded a video of his part in an Extreme Demon collaboration called Gamma.[4] After this, MindCap stopped posting frequently. His next upload occurred on 24 January 2018; it was an official preview of Celestial Force, an upcoming Extreme Demon collaboration.[5]
In March 2021, MindCap was wrapped in controversy after mistakenly leaking that Michigun had died to a few other players ahead of the official announcement. He quit playing and deleted his Twitter account, but returned and made a new account three months later.
Levels
- Unrated levels
- Cake Level (unlisted) - A cake-themed level created as a joke level for April Fools' Day on 1 April 2023. It features cake and various sweets decorations but quickly morphs into modern pop culture art, including Snoop Dogg, Kanye West, weed shots, SpongeBob, etc. Jif verified it.
- Heliopolis - An mega-collaboration level inspired by Acropolis, projected to be Top 1-difficulty. MindCap initially gave the level to ItsHybrid. However, ItsHybrid was unable to finish it, so he returned it to MindCap. The level was made an open verification on 25 March 2026 in addition to garbag and Abdieldevil already verifying it, with a potential 10,000 USD bounty on the level.[6]
- orbit copy - A joke level regarding the Extreme Demon ORBIT.
- Harder levels
- Cosmic Level (Epic) - A mega-collaboration level commemorating the Space Gauntlet Contest, released on the date of the Gauntlet Reveal.
- Medium Demon levels
- Collab Level (featured) - A horror-themed level that was verified by Cursed. Previously, MindCap stated that he would not upload it to the servers due to its inappropriate art and horror nature. However, he later posted a Twitter message about downloading the level that requires GDShare to play. As of now, the level has been uploaded to his account, with a warning at the start.
- Hard Demon levels
- bb circles (featured) - A joke Nine Circles-styled mega-collaboration level using the usual style of Nine Circles gameplay but without any wave sections. It stands for 'blue balled circles'.
- Extreme Demon levels
- Celestial Force (featured) - A mega-collaboration level with GaidenHertuny, GeometryTom, MrLorenzo, JustBasic, EndLevel, Xyriak, HelpegasuS, Jghost217, ElayaD, ManHeadRambo, Stormy97, InsanE03, HoshiKido, Zafkiel, and Wolfless. It was verified by Dagger[7] and rated within a week. Some months later, Gizbro verified a bug fix update for the level.

- Sigma (featured) - A mega-collaboration sequel to Gamma. Technical verified it.
- Every End (starred) - A mega-collaboration level hosted by MindCap and Djoxy set to be a Top Demon accessible by everyone in the community, according to MindCap. The level only uses blocks and spikes without additional mechanics, such as orbs, pads, and portals. It features many famous creators such as Pennutoh, npesta, KrmaL, and more. Hqmy verified it on 16 March 2025.[11]. This is also his only level to not be featured or above.
- ORBIT (Mythic) - A space-themed Extreme Demon mega-collaboration where every input uses an orb. It features many famous creators, such as Pennutoh, knobbelboy, and others from RETURN 0. It was verified by Zoink on 10 February 2026, and became the first Mythic-rated classic Extreme Demon later that day.[12]

- RETURN 0 - A machine-themed Extreme Demon mega-collaboration level featuring many famous creators such as Pennutoh, Stormfly, and TrusTa. It was meant as the sequel to LIMBO and set to be verified by npesta. MindCap originally announced on 12 April 2023 that the level was discontinued. On 28 November 2023, he later announced that it may be revived in the future. Currently, there have been no news about its potential revival.
- retoguitar - A challenge level for GuitarHeroStyles that is his first and only unrated level ever created.
