Sidestep
Template:Infobox Level Sidestep is a 2.0 Medium Demon created by ChaSe97. It is the first level in the Demon Gauntlet. It is considered by many players to be underrated, being described as a Hard Demon instead. It was originally an Easy Demon.
Gameplay
- 0-10%: The level starts with a simple half speed mini-cube section with a few easy jumps. Here, the player has the option to disable smoke effects throughout the level.
- 11-14%: Next, after completing a few basic jumps, the player transitions into a rather tricky half speed ship sequence, which constantly changes gravity (reminiscent of Cycles) and size.
- 15-20%: Afterwards, the player enters a mini ball segment that attempts to confuse the player by putting spikes in places the player seemingly must dodge, but in fact are actually harmless.
- 21-36%: After an auto transition, the music drops, and the player begins to rapidly change form from the wave, UFO, cube, ship, ball, wave, cube, wave, and finally a ball, with each form lasting no more than a couple of seconds.
- 37-38%: After the last ball segment, the player transitions into a transitory double speed cube section which contains a couple of triple spike sets.
- 39-55%: Then, the player jumps into another deluge of form transitions in triple speed - although the transitions are a bit slower this time around. Here, the ship sequences and the UFO segments need quite a bit of straight-fly skill and dexterity to pass.
- 56-64%: Then, the player enters a double speed dual cube section in an already confusing segment, with numerous moving blocks and constant size portals.
- 65-72%: After a while, the player enters a double speed dual ball segment that requires changing to same-gravity a couple of times.
- 73-91%: After an auto transition, the player enters a triple speed ship sequence that requires some sense of straight fly to pass. A fast and tricky cube section follows, which soon changes into a fast wave, then a fast UFO, then a fast wave, then a fast cube section.
- 92-100%: Finally, the player enters a tricky half speed ship sequence. After a couple of tricky spike-dodging, the level ends with pixel art of the level's name and the creator's name parallel together.
