Shock is a 2.0-2.1 Harder level by Danolex, published on 13 January 2017. It is the fourth level of the Fire Gauntlet.
Description
[edit | edit source]- 0-34%: The level starts with a simple cube section. The cube contains many jumps, orbs, and speed changes. Afterwards, it changes into a short ship section where it speeds up, then into a second cube section with many speed changes. Next, it changes into a ship sequence containing gravity portals and a half-speed auto cube section.
- 35-61%: Next, the screen fades to black, displays Etzer's logo, and transitions into a slow cube section with many jumps and orbs. This cube then goes into a few short speed changes that sync with the music. The cube section ends with a staircase with quick speed bursts and then is auto until the drop, where the words "COME ON" flash on screen.
- 62-100%: The drop starts with a rapid ship section with only one size change but with gravity portals. It then changes to a very similar UFO section for a few sections. At 87%, the screen suddenly turns black with the word "Lol" on screen as it transitions into a short cube section. The level ends with a short ball segment from 95% until the end.
User coins
[edit | edit source]Shock contains three user coins.
- At 12%, in the first cube section, the player must skip a green orb and land on the platform above, leading to a blue pad just above the first coin.
- At 55%, right before the drop, the player must perform an extra jump at the spot marked with a question mark to collect the key in the air at 56% near the second triple-speed portal. Once done, the coin will descend at 58%; it is unskippable.
- At 90%, in the final cube section, the player must drop down onto an invisible platform, with the third and final coin at the end. An invisible yellow pad returns the player to the main route.
Gameplay
[edit | edit source]Trivia
[edit | edit source]- (^) Shock is 56 seconds in length when measured, but it is displayed as 1 minute and 1 second due to a slow speed portal positioned outside of the flow of normal gameplay, which results in the level shifting over the threshold to be qualified as a Long level instead of Medium (being the latter would make it an anomaly among gauntlet levels, which are all Long or XL).
- Shock is the most liked and downloaded Harder level in the game.
- Shock was originally the fifth and final level in the Fire Gauntlet, but it was moved to the fourth position when the gauntlet got rearranged.
- Shock received an update on 24 August 2023, primarily modifying the post-drop portion of the level. Changes included:
- A diagonal bar in the foreground which slid from right-to-left at 47.75% was removed.
- A question mark was added as a jump indicator for the second coin's key, along with jump indicators below each of the Slow speed portals in the staircase.
- A ship icon flies into screen at the drop to indicate the upcoming gamemode.
- The UFO and ship portals in the 62-87% section were swapped, and the constant size changes were removed.
- Its gameplay remained the same aside from an additional platform at the start to prevent an instant crash.
- The robot portal just before the final jump at 96% was removed, ending the level in the ball mode instead.
- Shock was the 27th Daily level. This made it possible to collect its rewards three times.
