'''Shardscapes''' is a [[Update 2.1|2.1]] Extreme Demon level by Kiba, verified by eiruni (kiseta) on 6 May 2022.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prAX7gnKrkU</ref> The level is slow-paced and timing-based, containing only robot gameplay. The gameplay is very tight, with little room for error, as the player often has to carefully jump on the edges of spikes and hit orbs precisely.

Shardscapes splits into two halves that contrast with each other, with a bright background for the first half and a dark one for the second. The song complements the gameplay by building suspense during the first half of the level.

A sequel, [[Nullscapes]], was released in [[Update 2.2]]. 

==Description==
*'''0-40%:''' The first half of Shardscapes is a long half-speed mini-robot section. The player must carefully jump across the suspended structures, often requiring micro-clicks to avoid hitting blocks. There are several blue orbs that the player must hit during this section, and the player must double-click on two of them. After navigating a tight gap, the screen fades to white and then transitions to black as the second half begins.
*'''40-90%:''' The second half of Shardscapes is a long normal-speed robot section. This section features the same gameplay as the previous section, but with quicker timings. The player must hit many yellow, green, and red orbs, some of which they should double-click on. At 74%, the player must triple-click on a green orb to proceed.
*'''90-100%:''' At 89%, after the player double-clicks on a green orb, they will disappear as the level slowly fades to black. The background will go completely dark before the level ends.
