'''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.

==Asset stealing and redecoration==
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>

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>

==Description==
''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.
*'''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==
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.

==Trivia==
*Natural Disaster was rated on 28 July 2024 and placed at #41 on the [[Demonlist (Pointercrate)|Demonlist]] on 25 August 2024, above [[The Golden]] and below Viprin UFO.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/395654171422097420/456448992482689025/1277377695155621918</ref>
**This addition pushed [[Renevant]] into the Extended List and XRAY into the Legacy List.
*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.
*There is another redecoration of Natural Disaster in progress by The Purgatory.
*The placement of Snowbound on 15 January 2026 pushed Natural Disaster into the Extended List of the Demonlist.
