'''Natural Disaster''' is a [[Update 2.1|2.1]]/[[Update 2.2|2.2]] Extreme Demon collaboration level by GammaReXx and more, initially verified by Helix on 31 October 2022 after over 86,000 attempts.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Soc-JeRJtqM</ref> The level features a nature motif (similar to [[The Golden]]) giving the level a neon-green colour scheme. It also draws inspiration from [[CuLuC|CuLuC's]] work, with heavy use of texturing and lighting effects.


It was created as an impossible level with nearly humanly impossible wave sections. Popular impossible-level showcasers in the community popularised the level, creating community-wide interest in Natural Disaster. Due to the level's popularity, GammaReXx created a new version with an updated decoration set to be Top 5-10 difficulty.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHaUXmCsTDY</ref> The impossible version is uploaded as 'ND Unnerfed' on GammaReXx's account.

An official redecoration was completed by The Elite and verified by iliLaserili on 13 July 2024, allowing the level to be rated again.
'''Natural Disaster''' is a 2.1 Extreme Demon created and published by GammaReXx, Cantis, and Helix, and also verified by Helix on October 31, 2022 after over 86,000+ attempts. The level features a nature motif (similarly to [[The Golden|The Golden)]], thus having a greenish color scheme. It also draws inspiration from [[CuLuC]]'s levels.


==Asset stealing and redecoration==
It was originally set to be the hardest level in the game until GammaReXx decided to nerf the level to Top 5-10 difficulty<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHaUXmCsTDY&ab_channel=GammaReXx</ref> while at the same time, providing a redecoration update to improve the level's quality.
After Natural Disaster was initially rated on 6 November 2022, many community members expressed disdain. Around that time, several community members found many stolen assets and designs from other levels in Natural Disaster. The levels stolen from include [[Aerial Gleam]], [[The Golden]], [[Slaughterhouse]], Scorpius and [[Cybernetic Crescent]] (though these symbols are from the Sheikah Alphabet, an alphabet from ''[[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild]]'').<ref>https://x.com/PlaEnterprise/status/1589702831447367680</ref> As a result, RobTop unrated the level on 7 November 2022. Shortly after, the verifier, Helix, announced that a team would attempt to redecorate Natural Disaster. The level would place at #1 on the Unrated Demons List.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/381513933250494475/381518345809297408/1041473681324515378</ref>


While the redecoration was underway, the original was renamed to Stormy Earthscape, nerfing some gameplay and changing others. It received a redecoration that removed all the stolen assets, which Draxit verified.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJncn7GjosA</ref> This version would replace the unnerfed and be placed at #53 on the Unrated Demons List, with the unnerfed being placed back on the list a few months later.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/381513933250494475/381518345809297408/1132076759966306434</ref><ref>https://discord.com/channels/381513933250494475/381518345809297408/1178097557436637315</ref>
==Gameplay==
{{Low-Faith/Section}}
The level starts with a half-speed mini cube consisting of multiple timed jumps and clicks with a brief ball and spider mode inbetween. And next, it is followed by a normal-speed ship mode which is mostly oriented in straight-flying and carefully maneuvering the player's ship.


The official redecorated version of the level was verified on 13 July 2024 by iIiLaseriIi and rated a few days after.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0GqdSFmG_8</ref>
The level then goes into an auto cube mode where an animation of an upside-down L with angelic wings will appear before pitch black covers the entire screen. The level's name will flash in the middle of the screen supported by effects of thunderstorm and particles, hence the title. The level's difficulty then significantly increases as the player enters a quadruple-speed wave mode consisting of constant gravity- and size changes. The segment transitions into a brief ship mode halfway which now consists of teleportation portals and gravity changes, then followed by an another difficult wave mode.  


==Description==
In the last section of this segment, the level goes into black and white as the player enters a short straight-flying segment. The screen flashes into white in order to transition for the next segment: A quadruple-speed section consisting of multiple claustrophobic brief gamemode changes and timed jumps. It is then followed by an another quadruple-speed wave, no different than the first wave part. This is followed by a unison of flow gameplay. The last three clicks consist of three dash orbs. The player must time their clicks due to the extremely tight spaces. Successfully overcoming the last dash orbs causes the screen to fade into black.
''The decoration and gameplay of Natural Disaster were created by GammaReXx and Helix, revamping parts from the original impossible version.''


*'''0-28%:''' Natural Disaster begins with a half-speed mini-cube section containing multiple timings with a brief ball and spider section. Next, the player enters a normal-speed ship section of straight-flying and hitting blue orbs. The player then enters a long transition where GammaReXx's logo will appear (the Greek letter Gamma with wings) before large text saying 'Natural Disaster' with effects of lightning and glow particles in the background.
An artwork depicting the Earth suffering from environmental damage can be seen. The texts "Respect the planet." can be seen and, afterwards, the level ends with the text "GG" and the credits.
*'''28-57%:''' The level's difficulty significantly increases as the player enters a quadruple-speed wave mode consisting of constant gravity and size changes. A brief ship section shortly after features teleport portals and changes in gravity. A very long and difficult wave section follows, featuring several dual segments. In the last section of the part, the level turns monochrome as the player enters a short straight-flying segment with gravity portals. The screen flashes white to transition to the second half of the level.
*'''57-86%:''' After exiting the wave section, the player enters a quadruple-speed section consisting of multiple claustrophobic, brief game-mode changes and difficult timings. After a long sequence of flow-based gameplay, the player must hold down three dash orbs. The first two are in the cube game-mode, while the last one is in the wave game-mode and has the player go through a very tight gap between spikes before the end screen appears.
*'''86-100% (End Screen):''' Artwork depicting the Earth suffering from environmental damage appears with the text 'Respect the planet'. The level then ends with the text 'GG' and credits.


==User coins==
==User Coins==
Natural Disaster only contains one user coin, located at 64%. The player must hit a yellow orb to enter a brief wave section. The coin can be tricky to collect due to the extremely tight spaces where it is located. After the player collects the coin, they return to the normal route.

*Following allegations, CuLuC spoke out about the copied assets from Aerial Gleam. He said that while there were stolen designs and effects, the level still has original designs and should remain rated, although he would have preferred that GammaReXx ask him for permission.<ref>https://x.com/ytCuLuC/status/1589425310625587202</ref> However, it did not prevent Natural Disaster from being unrated.
