Penumbral (formerly known as Shaded xStep) is a 2.2 Extreme Demon collaboration level hosted by 13horizon and created by the members of Cherry Team, verified by w3rty on 5 March 2026.[1] The level is generally not fast-paced, with the speed accelerating in the later parts. Penumbral is mainly monochromatic, with a predominant grey palette sometimes seasoned with orange decorations and bright light flashes. Similar to Acheron, Penumbral features difficult cube and wave segments, straight-fly, and no memory, making it a good choice for players with strong raw skill.
