Retro Circles is a 2.0/2.2 Easy Demon level created by Nacho21. It is a retro-styled remake of Nine Circles, integrating visual glitches, scanlines, and other effects using about 60,000 objects, a large amount for a level at the time. It is considered to be on the lower end of the Easy Demon difficulty.

Description

  • 0-9%: The level starts with a simple half-speed cube section. Here, the player must be careful to synchronize the timing to avoid the spikes.
  • 10-20%: Next, the player enters a normal-speed ship sequence that can be easily cleared without much effort because of the absence of gravity portals.
  • 21-37%: Then, the player enters a simple ball segment. Here, the player must hit the jump rings with correct timings so that he/she does not hit a single spike. This is followed by an auto cube segment that closely resembles that of Nine Circles and Silhouette.
  • 38-84%: Then the music drops, and the player enters a triple-speed wave segment. Seemingly, this wave segment is actually easy due to large spaces and a lack of gravity portals. The level is made much harder by a huge amount of speed and size portals, creating gameplay feel that is quite similar to Nostalgia. The player must be careful to memorize the correct timing to not crash. The easiest part of the level is perhaps the mini dual wave segment, a classic "ingredient" of Nine Circles levels.
  • 85-100%: Afterwards, the player enters one final cube section that is similar to the first one, but is slightly harder because of numerous double spikes and many clusters of orbs. After Nacho21 thanks some players (ToshDeluxe, Rulas, Synder YT, and others), the level ends.

User coins

  • User coin 1: This coin is located at the ball section. To obtain the coin, you must take an alternate route in the section by skipping the pink orb and going down to receive the coin.
  • User coin 2: At 40%, If the user goes down the tighter and harder path, the player will obtain the second coin.
  • User coin 3: The third coin is free. It is obtained at the last jump of the level.

Trivia

  • In the last cube section, Nacho21 signed a double spike when GuitarHeroStyles and Alvarofuen crashed at it.
  • CrisPy Dash, the creator of Fear Me, was inspired by Retro Circles and created another NC Retro, Screamroom Circles, but he deleted it after some time.
  • Retro Circles introduced the "Tearing Nine Circles" effect.
  • Retro Circles was nerfed heavily, dropping from a Hard Demon to an Easy Demon.
