Spacial Rend is a 2.1 Extreme Demon mega-collaboration hosted and published by Eclipsed, created by Team Umbra, and verified by DiamondSplash. It is the sequel to Arctic Arena and is most known for being in the Top 3 hardest Demons of the Geometry Dash Demonlist back in mid-2019.
History
The first trace of Spacial Rend was actually during August 2017, when several members of the mega-collaboration started uploading videos of their parts in Spacial Rend.[1]
However, this level generally did not get much hype by the community until October 19, 2017, when DiamondSplash uploaded a full preview of the entire level and said he would be the verifier. This level then got a decent amount of attention, the video by DiamondSplash reaching over 37,000 views.[2]
Eclipsed then uploaded a visual trailer of Spacial Rend in December 2017,[3] while DollarC uploaded another full preview video, noting the level now had minimal visual updates.[4] At this point, Spacial Rend was pretty much finished, and it was ready to be verified by DiamondSplash.
DiamondSplash made progress quickly, but he did not show any progress videos until he got 75% - a massive and breathtaking record.[5] DiamondSplash continued to practice Spacial Rend until December 24, 2017, when he finally verified Spacial Rend after 14,930 attempts.[6]
Gameplay
- 0-2% (Tsukifuto): The level begins with the appearance of the LDM (Low Detail Mode) next to a robot at single-speed, which has a crossing that requires jumps in the indicated places, timing, and the orbs, to avoid floating structures and columns full of spikes. In the beginning, there is Tsuki's name written just before jumping. This part has a decoration of white, blue, and black tones; The design of the blocks is quite elaborate since it has a futuristic effect. Besides that, it is supported by the effects of the environment.
- 2-4% (Alex PG): Alex's part starts with a mini spider segment of the same speed where the player must make quick movements through obstacles, such as walls with blunt objects and close, besides doing a complicated timing of orbs. The part ends with a green dash orb and then a pink dash orb with the name Alex PG appearing. This part predominates in its totality the dark pink color and the black one; its decoration is a stellar/spatial style with many details in the structures giving a "mechanical" aspect to the environment.
- 4-7% (Vapen): The drop starts with a mini cube at quadruple-speed. In this part, the player must go through a complicated path that consists of jumping by ramps and orbs with gravity changes and specific jumps onto ramps. While dodging skewers present in structures, the level changes in severity and speed. In the middle of the journey, it expresses the name Vapen. This part has a simple decoration than that of the previous ones, but with great effects like flashes and movements; it has a style in the basic but original structures, its structures have small details of light in the form of lines in addition to having an atmosphere based on movement and flashes.
- 7-11% (123ev4n): 123ev4n's part starts with the same cube gameplay but at double-speed, which is driven by a ramp and an area full of orbs in which the player must touch the correct one. Then the level transitions to a short wave section which implies the player must fly straight between two columns. Next, in a ship section at triple-speed, the player must straight-fly through a narrow path of spikes (besides being able to appreciate the name of 123ev4n and the phrase "straight flying of"). Then the part ends with an inverted robot that must be propelled with great precision from a ramp through two spiked structures. The player will then jump into green and red orbs. This part has a decoration based on the details, both in the structures and the setting; It has a cybernetic style in which various colors such as blue, orange, yellow, and purple chrome predominate.
- 11-22% (Logic + Lazuli): After 123ev4n's part, Logic's starts with a normal cube section filled with lots of jump orbs and spikes. Logic's name appears at the end of the cube section before a brief double-speed wave part appears. Next is another brief robot segment that would transition to a triple-speed cube section before LazGLC's part starts at 19%, with a brief cube segment that requires difficult orb timings and an awkward and tight ship transition.
- 22-28% (Cyber): Cyber's part starts with not-too-bad ball timings and then transitions to a difficult straight-fly ship section, which is seen by some as the hardest part of the level. It also requires difficult orb timings.
- 29-35% (YakobNugget + Nahuel2998 + 123ev4n): YakobNugget's part includes more difficult cube timings and then transitions to more straight-fly ship segments with difficult orb timings. It then transitions to Nahuel2998's part from 32%, which includes a difficult tight ship, But after a single ball Timing, it transitions to 123Ev4n's Second Part. In this segment, the timings are easier than in the previous segments. The part is also notable for being one of the most heavily decorated parts in a mega-collaboration.
- 35-43% (Spade + CreatorSruj): Spade's part starts from 35 to 39%, which includes a lot of fast, tight gameplay and gravity changes and orb timings. At 39%, CreatorSruj's part starts with a difficult orb timing and awkward straight-fly transitions. It then transitions to a difficult section where the player must click a series of orbs at a frame-perfect timing.
- 43-52% (SlimJim + TEX02): SlimJim's part is a series of extremely inconsistent timings with several redundant orbs and spikes placed throughout the part. At 47%, TEX02's part begins with more timing segments and a difficult ship transition. The part ends with a slow double-spike gap.
- 52-60% (Splash): Splash's part starts with an extremely difficult ship section, which requires precise maneuvering. It then transitions to a UFO segment with some timings comparable to Etzer's part in Bloodbath.
- 60-68% (Nemphis): Nemphis' part starts with a rather confusing dual, but compared with the rest of the level, not difficult. It then transitions to a fairly tight mini-ship sequence and a fast UFO segment which requires fast but precise timings.
- 68-75% (WHErwin): WHerwin's part starts with a difficult dual cube segment that requires precise timings and transitions to an awkward dual Ship/UFO segment where the player must spam the UFO at the bottom while maneuvering the ship through gravity portals. The part ends with a tight dual wave comparable to GoodSmile's part in Audio Extraction.
- 76-87% (BananaMuffin): BananaMuffin's part, abbreviated as "zBM" in his part, includes difficult and tight timings and a very tight wave at the end. The player then transitions to a robot segment with more tricky timings. Finally, the part transitions to a slow and tight ship section similar to Red World Rebirth.
- 87-100% (Eclipsed): The level ends with Eclipsed's part, containing a slow and simple cube section. The level then ends with the words "Spacial Rend" while the list of the creator's names rolls down in the background and some artwork of the legendary Pokémon Palkia.
