'''Stormfly''' is a Swedish player and level creator. He is best known for creating and verifying remade versions of [[Sohn0924|Sohn0924's]] seven Hell levels in the Hell Series, the most recent being The Hell Trinity. He is also a well-established YouTube content creator, having created many documentary-style and highly edited, informative, and detailed videos on various topics within [[Geometry Dash]], such as videos about famous creators, levels, and the game's history and lore.

==History==
Stormfly began playing Geometry Dash during [[Update 1.7]] in 2014. However, he joined YouTube on 12 November 2015 and uploaded his first video titled 'Geometry Dash - Nine Circles (Demon) - By Zobros', in which he beat [[Nine Circles]].<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnNj-eWyoKo</ref> Later, Stormfly beat numerous Demons and uploaded them on YouTube. While he beat Hard Demons, such as MadHouse, [[Fexty]], Night Terrors and Mental Torture, his name only became known after a shout-out by [[Sea]] for verifying a slightly nerfed version of [[The Hell Zone]] by [[Cyclic]]. Stormfly also got another shout-out from the same person, this time for becoming the first person to beat all Ozpectro-themed levels at that time, including effot and Belic.

After discovering that The Hell Zone was not the only Hell level created by Sohn0924, he decided to verify a decorated version of all his levels ([[The Hell World]], [[The Hell Dignity]], and The Hell Origin). In addition, with The Hell Inferno and The Hell Field leaked, Stormfly is set to finish, redecorate and verify them, and another Hell level under the name The Hell Holder.

On 11 May 2018, Stormfly verified Silentium Gradas, a heavily nerfed rebirth of [[Silent clubstep]], in 16,213 attempts.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pu4m4mpRlhI</ref>

On 5 October 2018, Stormfly released a video showcasing all the rated levels of Update 1.0.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecbvfzReKDI</ref>

On 28 December 2018, Stormfly achieved a devastating 90% on The Hell Field, a Hell level originally started by Sohn0924 but never finished. Two days later, on 30 December, he verified The Hell Field in 11,383 attempts.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rm2dGOchJk4</ref> On 5 January 2019, Stormfly achieved a record of 25% on The Hell Inferno, another Hell level originally started by Sohn0924 but never finished.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItisojdAaTI</ref> After a long period of inactivity, he returned and achieved a start position run of 28-57%.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrFJGjWUrOs</ref>

On 1 September 2019, Stormfly achieved a new record of 58% on The Hell Inferno.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cPJPdNyEAI</ref> He would eventually verify it on 6 April 2020.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuxkguglEIE</ref> On 8 December 2021, he verified The Hell Trinity.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3JmAe1FtqE&t=95s</ref>

*The Hell Zone (Featured) - The first level in the Hell series. A mega-collaboration created by 1234, Koreaqwer, Ryan LC and Cyclic. Cyclic used verify-hacks and cut the video. He claimed to have beaten it legitimately but did not record it, then later confessed to hacking it. A player named Cypher pointed out all the cuts Cyclic made. Stormfly has since verified it legitimately and published it to his account. He also slightly nerfed Cyclic's part, but it was not rated until February 2017.

;Other levels
*Necromancer (Featured, on TGI's account) - A super-buffed remake of [[Necropolis]] hosted by him. It is widely disliked for its gameplay.

;Collaborations participated in
*[[Heliopolis]] - An upcoming mega-collaboration with resemblance to [[Acropolis]], hosted by MindCap, set to be the hardest level in the game; it initially had a concept where the timings relied on lower FPS values, but MindCap eventually discontinued it.
*[[LIMBO]] - An Extreme Demon mega-collaboration hosted by MindCap and verified by BGram. It was the hardest memory level in the game until [[BOOBAWAMBA]] was released.
*Misanthrope - An upcoming mega-collaboration hosted by Brittank88 featuring numerous creators from every point of the game. It was initially set to be the hardest level in the game but was eventually split into three due to its absurd length and object counts.
*RETURN 0 - A proposed 17-minute-long mega-collaboration hosted by MindCap and the sequel to LIMBO.

;Upcoming levels
*Element 111 Rg - A reconstructed and redecorated version of Element 111 Rg, an old deleted and lost level created by DarkX as part of the Element Series.
*Subkulture - A cyberpunk city-themed level featuring unique gameplay, such as vertical movement and game-mode gimmicks, unlike anything Stormfly has seen in a level.
*The Hell Holder - The eighth and final level in the Hell Series, succeeding The Hell Trinity.

;Cancelled/deleted levels
*Amaranthine - A very old collaboration made for [[Noctalium]] for which Stormfly had the first part. The host cancelled it because the next part was impossible to beat.
*Caelestis - An old Extreme Demon with a crystal/celestial theme made two years ago. It was cancelled because Stormfly believed the first half of the level had incredibly ugly decoration and very uninspired gameplay, so he quickly lost interest in the level.
*Metamorphosis - An Extreme Demon intended to have only abstract and unusual gameplay as its central focus. It was cancelled because Stormfly did not have enough time to finish it.
*Phantasmagoria - An Extreme Demon with an intended arcane and golden theme. It was cancelled because Stormfly did not have enough time to finish it.
*The Hell Field (old version) - Stormfly's old version of The Hell Field, created with an entirely different song. It was ultimately cancelled because the Restoration Union redirected Stormfly's attention to other projects, while this one lingered in the background of the series. As a result, The Hell Field was completely revamped to incorporate new 'discoveries', including a song change, new gameplay, and creations by Sohn0924 himself.
*Unnamed - Gameplay that Stormfly made for a collaboration level (which he is not allowed to state the name of or what the level was for) that got cancelled shortly after. The reason for its cancellation is unknown, as it was never stated.

==Trivia==
*Stormfly is named after a dragon from the ''[[Wikipedia:How to Train Your Dragon (franchise)|How to Train Your Dragon]]'' franchise, with his old profile picture depicting the creature.
**The dragon is a female 'Deadly Nadder' who belongs to the character Astrid Hofferson.
*At first, Stormfly was believed to be a female, as he had purportedly stated he was. This belief was further exacerbated by his username referencing a female character.
**Later on, he made a video in which he explained this confusion.
*Stormfly's first YouTube video was the completion of Nine Circles.
**The video's description says 'easy level', which is probably a reference to [[Zobros|Zobros's]] video description since Nine Circles is mainly known as a Hard Demon among numerous players.
*Stormfly has been accused of hacking the Hell levels and many of his other significant achievements by Lapis.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_1Ul5_f6KA</ref>
*Stormfly is the first victor of all the old Hell levels, unnerfed Back on Mountain, unnerfed Apologeist and unnerfed Phobos.
**Stormfly became the first legitimate victor of the unnerfed version of Back on Mountain on 3 November 2020.
***It took 2,423 days for someone to beat it legitimately, putting it third on the list of levels that took the longest to complete legitimately.
****Funnily enough, the original versions of The Hell Zone and The Hell World held the top two spots.
*Stormfly's Insane Demon may be named after one of the Deadly Nadders in the game ''Dragons: Rise of Berk''.
*Stormfly's hardest Demon is currently the old version of The Hell Origin.
*All Stormfly's rated levels have been at least Extreme Demons at one point (the Hell levels, Hate War, Silentium Gradas, Achondrite and Scardian).
**Achondrite was an Extreme Demon for a long time, while Scardian was an Extreme Demon due to a rating scandal around May 2018. The same scandal converted [[Lucid Nightmares]] and SINGULARITY to Insane Demons and LastLocked and Acropolaris to Extreme Demons.
*Stormfly edited [[Brandon Larkin|Brandon Larkin's]] 300th Geometry Dash episode, which is nearly three hours long, all by himself.
*Stormfly is the creator of what is commonly accepted as the hardest trilogy of levels in Geometry Dash, the Needle Trilogy, consisting of Amber, Erasus and Vulnix.
**Amber was inspired by the numerous impossible levels that just spammed straight-fly and wave spam, prompting Stormfly to come up with that idea, but instead have it consist entirely of timings. Those who have played the level have gone as far as to say Amber is harder than VSC.
**Erasus consists of game modes that went unused in Amber and introduced the gimmick of having rows of spikes moving down and up while the mini-wave tries to navigate through them.
**Vulnix is much more gimmicky than the previous two levels. It introduces the concept of trying to keep a dot (aligned with the player) away from spikes, which will trigger and kill the player if touched, along with down-to-up gameplay and two-player duals that are much more unusual than those seen at the time. Most consider Vulnix to be at the brink of what can be done by a human being, if not entirely impossible.
*Stormfly participated in researching and restoring the history of the most mysterious level, Element 111 Rg.
