==Gameplay==
Congregation inspired the 'Congregation Jumpscare' meme, centred on videos in which gameplay of random, unrelated levels is edited to lead into the drop section of Congregation unexpectedly.
''Congregation's gameplay is very slow, except for the drop. The level consists of very tight timings with the cube, ball, and robot.''


*'''0-11%:''' The first section of the level consists of very tight mini cube gameplay. Much of this part's timings involve jumping through extremely small gaps between spikes and jumping over blocks. The decoration of this section's objects is mainly blue and uses a fading effect that makes some blocks barely visible, meaning many timings need memorization. This section also features moving sawblades.

*'''0-11%:''' Congregation begins with the player getting flung by a large, invisible slope into the first section of the level, consisting of tight mini-cube gameplay. Many timings involve jumping through tiny gaps between spikes and jumping over blocks. The decoration of this section's objects is mainly blue and uses a fading effect that makes some blocks barely visible, requiring memorization. This section also features moving saw blades.

There are a few bits of decoration coloured orange, foreshadowing the level's drop.

*'''32-42%:''' The fourth section of the level consists of the same gameplay style as the first section. However, in this section, many of the blocks used as platforms move around. The decoration follows the decoration of the previous part with more flashing orange objects. After passing an extremely tight cube timing between two spikes, the level transitions into the drop.
*'''32-42%:''' The fourth section of the level consists of the same gameplay style as the first section. However, in this section, many of the blocks used as platforms move around. The decoration is almost identical to the previous part but contains more flashing red/orange objects. The level transitions into the drop after the player passes a tight cube timing between two spikes, leaving them in a lengthy fall.
*'''43-59%:''' The first drop section flips the level's style upside down. This section consists of tight double-speed cube timings between spikes. It also contains many features that the previous cube sections didn't have: gravity change orbs and portals. All the platforms in this section move around compared to only some from the last one. The decoration of this section serves as a "mirror" of the previous sections, being mainly flashing orange with some blue objects.
*'''43-59%:''' At the drop, the player falls into the next section. This part contains tight double-speed cube timings and multiple gravity-changing orbs and portals. All the platforms in this section move around, unlike only some in the previous one. The decoration of this section serves as a 'mirror' of the previous sections, mainly flashing orange with some blue objects.
*'''60-84%:''' The second drop section consists of tight quadruple speed robot timings, making it the fastest-travelling part of Congregation. This section contains many more orb timings and also contains a few dash orbs. Like the previous section, all of the platforms move around, and there are many gravity changes. The decoration of this part alternates from completely orange-red to completely purple-blue. At the end of the drop, the screen fades.
*'''60-84%:''' The following section consists of tight quadruple-speed robot timings. It is the fastest-travelling part of Congregation, and it contains many more orb timings and a few dash orbs. Like the previous section, all the platforms move around, and there are many gravity changes. The decoration of this part alternates from completely orange-red to completely purple-blue. At the end of this part, the screen fades.
*'''85-95%:''' The final section of the level serves as a return to the first section, with slow tight mini cube timings, no platform movement, and a blue color scheme. There are two differences between the two sections as the final section has some sloped platforms and contains some green coloring in the decoration. The level ends after a flat cube section with a few timings.
*'''85-95%:''' The final section of the level is similar to the first section, with slow, tight mini-cube timings, no platform movement and a blue colour scheme. There are two differences between these sections: the final section contains some sloped platforms and green decoration. The gameplay becomes automatic until the end of the level, after a flat cube section with a few timings.
*'''96-100% (End Screen):''' Neon-blue digital-style text slowly appears with the level's name, creator, and verifier, as well as some play-testers: Exerity, Arb, Rustere, and YakobNugget. The text then fades, and a single "G" appears.
*'''96-100% (End Screen):''' This part is an auto mini ball. Neon-blue digital-style text slowly appears with the level's name, creator, verifier and some play-testers: Exerity, Arb, Rustere, and YakobNugget. These words fade, and the letters 'GG' flash before the level ends.

Congregation is a 2.1 Extreme Demon level by Presta, verified by Floofle on 27 April 2021.[1] The level contains music sync-based gameplay and difficult timings. It is one of the more controversial levels on the Demonlist, on which it reached a peak of #35, receiving praise from players for its atmosphere and music but criticism for its unconventional style of gameplay and its lengthy pre-drop section.[2][3]

Congregation inspired the 'Congregation Jumpscare' meme, centred on videos in which gameplay of random, unrelated levels is edited to lead into the drop section of Congregation unexpectedly.

Description

[edit | edit source]

Congregation's gameplay is very slow, except for the drop. The level consists of tight timings with the cube, ball and robot.

  • 0-11%: Congregation begins with the player getting flung by a large, invisible slope into the first section of the level, consisting of tight mini-cube gameplay. Many timings involve jumping through tiny gaps between spikes and jumping over blocks. The decoration of this section's objects is mainly blue and uses a fading effect that makes some blocks barely visible, requiring memorization. This section also features moving saw blades.
  • 12-22%: The second section of the level consists of tight mini-ball timings on straight and sloped platforms. This section also contains some orb timings, and the decoration is identical to the previous one, which uses the fade effect. There are a few bits of decoration coloured orange, foreshadowing the level's drop.
  • 23-31%: The third section of the level consists of tight normal-size ball timings. The gameplay style is identical to the previous section except for some flashing red and orange objects that act as moving platforms.
  • 32-42%: The fourth section of the level consists of the same gameplay style as the first section. However, in this section, many of the blocks used as platforms move around. The decoration is almost identical to the previous part but contains more flashing red/orange objects. The level transitions into the drop after the player passes a tight cube timing between two spikes, leaving them in a lengthy fall.
  • 43-59%: At the drop, the player falls into the next section. This part contains tight double-speed cube timings and multiple gravity-changing orbs and portals. All the platforms in this section move around, unlike only some in the previous one. The decoration of this section serves as a 'mirror' of the previous sections, mainly flashing orange with some blue objects.
  • 60-84%: The following section consists of tight quadruple-speed robot timings. It is the fastest-travelling part of Congregation, and it contains many more orb timings and a few dash orbs. Like the previous section, all the platforms move around, and there are many gravity changes. The decoration of this part alternates from completely orange-red to completely purple-blue. At the end of this part, the screen fades.
  • 85-95%: The final section of the level is similar to the first section, with slow, tight mini-cube timings, no platform movement and a blue colour scheme. There are two differences between these sections: the final section contains some sloped platforms and green decoration. The gameplay becomes automatic until the end of the level, after a flat cube section with a few timings.
  • 96-100% (End Screen): This part is an auto mini ball. Neon-blue digital-style text slowly appears with the level's name, creator, verifier and some play-testers: Exerity, Arb, Rustere, and YakobNugget. These words fade, and the letters 'GG' flash before the level ends.
