Glowy is a 2.0/2.1 Extreme Demon collaboration level by Galzo (formerly Sunnet) and Rob Buck, verified by BoldStep and published on 6 September 2017.^[1] Created to satirize the excessive use of glow in levels made at the time of its release, Glowy is known for its 3-minute duration and heavily increasing object count as players progress through the level.

Description

Glowy's layout was created by Galzo and decorated by Rob Buck.

0-8.5%: The level begins with a brief cube section at normal speed followed by a ball and a robot at double-speed before the drop starts at half-speed; at 1%, a memory based mini-cube was also included.
8.5-17.25%: After the pre-drop, the player transitions into a mini-ship with various straight-fly sections, size and gravity changes, and some ceiling hits; however, the player returns into a mini-ship after the auto cube with gravity portals; the next ship segment also conisists of a dual portal other than the straight-fly sections and the size and gravity changes.
17.25-27.75%: After a brief auto cube, the player goes into a dual cube section with high-end jumps followed by another auto cube and a ship section with a teleport, and gravity and size changes. After a fast-paced mini-ball, the player enters into a wave transition at triple-speed with gravity changes, a spam section, a non-spam section, and another spam section before the player goes into a curved mini-ship straight-fly.
27.75-35.75%: After this, the player transition into a timing-based ball at double-speed before going into a dual mini-ball section resemblant of Sonic Wave; then, the player proceeds into a timing-based UFO at half-speed resemblant of Michigun's UFO section in Bloodbath; at normal speed, the player enters into a wave segment with one gravity change and some spam sections on the wave segment.
35.75-42%: After the level slows down at half-speed, the player transitions into a memory-based cube followed by a dual combination with a ship and wave; the ship only is an auto due to constant game mode changing in ball and UFO while the wave section only consists of spam and a teleport.
42-52%: The player proceeds into a ship segment at triple speed with gravity changes, yellow orbs in gravity portals, and various straight-fly sections; the ship segment is rather unique due to constant wave spam sections at half-speed to match the song's sync; however, the last ship section is a mini-ship which focuses on manoeuvring before the straight-fly.
52-59.25%: After the level slows down at half-speed again, the player enters into a timing-based robot followed by a ball section at normal speed before being slowed down again at half-speed.
59.25-67.75%: The player then transitions into a ship with some speed and gravity changes; the ship section is mainly a straight-fly section before the player goes into a slow-paced wave at half-speed; after the wave, the player proceeds into a dual ship segment at half speed; this dual section consists of straight-flying and yellow orbs in which the player must miss; after this, the player returns to the wave at normal speed wtih gravity changes followed by a timing-based mini-ufo section at half-speed with some pink-orb sections.
67.75-76.5%: The player then transitions into a mini-ship at half-speed with various straight-fly sections, size and gravity changes, yellow orbs in gravity portals, and some platforms in which the player must slide; the player then goes into a fast-paced ball at double-speed followed by a timing-based UFO at triple-speed with gravity changes and an auto section with gravity portals (referred to as a 'gravity stream').
76.5-83.75%: Next, the player enters into a cube at normal speed followed by a ship section with gravity changes at half-speed, a wave section at normal speed with some gravity changes, and a memory-based dual cube segment at half-speed.
83.75-93%: The player enters into the following: A dual-mini wave at triple-speed later slowing down to half-speed, a timing-based UFO at triple-speed later slowing down to half-speed again, a straight-fly ship segment with teleports at triple-speed later slowing down to half-speed, a mini-wave section at normal speed, a memory-based mini-ball section at double-speed, a mini-robot at half-speed, a timing-based mini-UFO at double speed, and a mini-ship straight-fly at triple-speed with a trail of keys.
93-100%: Afterwards, the player goes into a cube section at half-speed followed by a ship section with a gravity change; finally, the player transitions into a wave segment in which the player goes into a dual wave afterwards; the dual wave only contains some size changes, however. The level ends with a cube and Rob Buck's heart logo, under which is an invisible gravity pad.

Gameplay

Trivia

Glowy is considered impossible to complete on low-end devices.
Glowy's creation was completed in July 2016. However, it would remain unverified for 14 months.
- A contributing factor to the delay was the original verifier, BH Fusion, dropped the level, not desiring 'to prolong the verification any longer'. BoldStep subsequently requested to verify Glowy, and was granted permission by Rob Buck.
Glowy was initially placed at #17 on the Demonlist on 26 September 2017, above Hatred (#18) and below Black Blizzard (#16).
- This addition pushed Retention into the Legacy List for the first time.
- When rated, Glowy also became the hardest rated level to simultaneously hold the record for the most object-heavy rated level; it was dethroned by Freedom08 on 18 May 2019.
The placement of The Hell Nutz on 1 July 2022 pushed Glowy into the Legacy List.

Text messages

Glowy also mocks the use of text in levels following the text object's introduction in 2.0, albeit to a lesser extent than glow. Messages within the level include:

36%: 'I LOVE GLOW!'
43.5%: 'O SH!T STR8 FLY' appears twice, along with a note reading 'Idea by Incarnate Maiden'.
52%: 'DANGUS DONGUS'
54.5%: 'HALFWAY THERE!'
66.25%: 'DINGUS!'
66.75%: Four copies of the word 'GO!'
71.25% 'CHRISTMAS CONFIRMED!!! XDXD'
73.25% 'SEZZY ;)'
73.5%: 'DINGBAT!'
74.25%: 'DAMN YOU ARE GOOD!'
76%: 'GRAVITY STREAM!'
76.5%: 'MAUDANIK IS A DINGUS'
79%: 'LAZERHUPE ;O;'
84.5%: The letters of the word 'STAR' arranged around a star, underneath which is the acronym 'LMFAO'.
84.75%: 'SLOW DOWN DINGUS!'
85.75%: 'INTERNET POOL IS LYF !', referring to online 8-ball billiards. The quote is ascribed to Platnuu.
87.25%: 'HULLO WALKERTECH'
93.75%: 'RUSTAM THE DINGUS' within the teeth of a Clubstep monster.
94.5%: 'SCOPED B!TCH'
96%: On opposite sides of the diamond structure are the words 'DORITO CHIPZZ' and 'ANDADINGUS', the latter placed between two copies of the acronym 'LMFAO'. Inside the diamond, the phrase 'CHIKKIN IS BAE' is written.
97%: A 'Dingus list' with seven entries: Ryder, Squall, Jae, Xtrap, Terron, Usermatt (now Usermatt18), and Arceus.
98.75%: Four copies of the word 'DIE!'.
- The original copy of Glowy replaced this with 'Verified by BoldStep'.
99%: Separate objects reading 'LUV U ALL' and 'LMAO'.

-The level starts off with a yellow jump orb throwing the player into the first cube section. Some text is present, including "Rob Buck", "Sunnets Layout" and the size portals being replaced by "Mini" and "Big". The gameplay a consists of a few jumps and orbs, a small maze and back to the same gameplay style as before. After the initial cube, a ball appears with some tricky, but simplistic, timings along with invisible size portals. Ending the pre-drop part is a double speed robot where a bunch of orbs have to be ignored in order to hit the right ones, then a short auto, and a single jump as the music makes the noise of a light-saber being drawn.

+{{VC|gVLFn5yYblk}}
-The gameplay shifts to a mini ship sequence with mostly straight flying present along with many different gravity and size portals placed in the way. The flying is interrupted by a gravity stream into another ship part. It starts off in dual mode but quickly goes back into normal. Just like before portals are present, teleportation portals this time as well. Likewise, this ship section also ends with a short auto into a dual cube. This cube requires some precise timings in order to pass, and as it ends, it goes normal and transitions via an auto into another ship. This ship lasts for a bit shorter than the ones before but keeps the same style of gameplay. Next up is a ball with lots of slopes and blue orbs to hit, and then comes a spam wave with the name of the level shown off in big letters as the first drop ends with a short mini ship straight fly.

-The music slows down a bit as a ball shows up with lots of difficult timings and jump pads guiding the way. A few purple orbs are also present, and the ball eventually turns mini/dual, similar to [[Windy Landscape]]. The first section of this "after-drop" part is finished off with a slow UFO resembling that of [[Michigun|Michigun's]] part in [[Bloodbath]]. The second half consists entirely of a standard wave doing what the wave does best: avoiding spikes located all over the place. The gameplay and song now slow down even more as the player turns into a cube for the first half and the text "I love glow!" can be seen. This cube is very maze-like and features many fake ways that the player must avoid. The next half is played in dual mode and starts as a Ship/Wave where the ship is completely irrelevant for the entire segment, only changing gamemodes. The wave on the other hand is quite tight and spikes pose as a major threat throughout the whole dual.

+<references />
-As the song hits its second drop, a triple speed ship is now used to maneuver through the obstacles. A very short wave spam will then take the player to a straight fly where the text "O S%?T STR8 FLY" and "Idea by incarnate maiden" is visible. Another short wave spam leads to another straight fly which in turn leads into yet another combination of a wave spam and a straight fly finished off with two gravity portals. The ship continues with some yellow orbs placed inside of gravity portals leading into a wave spam, two more orb/portal combos, another wave spam, a straight fly and finally a wave spam leading into a mini straight fly into another slowed down part of the level. This slow part is played as a robot with many different types of timings and some text saying "Dangus Dongus" and "Halfway There!". The next segment of this slow part is a ball with many orbs and regular timings to pass and a yellow jump pad to send the player into the third drop.
+[[Category:Wiki content status - reviewed community]]
-A fast ship appears and is like most other ship sections in the level; majorly straight flying. The speed slows down and speeds up to the beat of the music and a wave is used to transition into an unorthodox straight fly dual ship segment. Next up is a wave where the path can be quite hard to see due to the massive object count at this point. After this is a mini UFO having to hit invisible purple orbs located inside the mouths of two monsters as the text "Dingus!" and "GO!" can be seen. The ship coming up is mini and requires the player to straight fly through multiple monster teeth, all while changing gravity and size many times over and it end with the text "Christmas Confirmed!!! XDXD". A ball then appears with fast timings and more text in the form of "Sezzy ;)" and "Dingdat!" just before a triple speed UFO takes its place holding difficult maneuvering and a bunch of gravity portals in both single and stream form.
-A cube is next and it starts with "Maudanik is a dingus" visible before the gameplay consisting of regular jump and orbs timings starts. Lots of blue jump pads then appear with the last one in every quartet holding a purple orb which needs to be hit. A slow ship with two gravity portals will end this first half of this slow part. This then comes to a wave where purple orbs guide the way through the glowy madness. This wave finishes off with a gravity portal, and then a dual switching into a slow cube that requires some memory of which orbs to hit to reach the next wave. It stays dual and contains lots of text saying "Star lmfao" and "Slow Down Dingus!" replacing slow speed changes. A short UFO with a single orb, gravity portal and a quote by Platnuu saying "Internet pool is lyft" comes after this and is followed by a straight fly with teleportation portals involved. A quote by Walkertech reading "Hullo" is then flown through into a wave portal with fairly standard gameplay afterwards.
-Mini ball form is then achieved and here memorization must once again be necessary in order to reach the slow robot afterwards where "KEK" can be seen twice and three orbs must be hit. A UFO takes its place and holds gameplay with jump orbs and gravity portals alike, and then a mini ship straight fly through spike balls where lots of keys are picked up as another aesthetic of the level. The final segment of the level begins as a slow cube with text "Jae is sez" and "[[Rustam]] the dingus" are present in all of the spike jumps and orbs. Following this is a ship with a unique effect around itself, a single gravity portal and "Scoped B!tch" visible at the start. This then turns into a wave which will in turn go dual for the last few second of the level where even more text can be seen, a chicken art, and a list of people whom the level is dedicated to. The wave goes mini, then back and finally solo to show the text "Verified by BoldStep", "Luv U All Lmao" and Rob Buck's logo as the wave turns into a cube and leaps towards the end of the level.

-== Trivia ==
-* The level contains almost 270,000 objects, meaning that lag is unavoidable on low-end devices.
-* At first, BH Fusion was set to verify the level, but he eventually dropped it for not wanting "to prolong the verification any longer". As such, BoldStep asked Rob Buck for permission to verify the level, which he was accepted to verify.
-* Rob Buck has stated that this will be his last level ever made.
-* This level is the fourth longest rated extreme demon in ''Geometry Dash'', exceeding three minutes and twenty-two seconds.
-** [[SUBVERSIVE]] is the fifth longest, being about three minutes and five seconds long.
