'''DeCode''' is a [[Update 1.9|1.9]] Easy Demon level by [[Rek3dge]], published on 17 November 2014. It is widely considered one of the most influential Easy Demons in the game's history. Though formerly considered incredibly difficult at the time due to the novelty of the wave game-mode, it is currently considered a high-end Easy Demon to most new players. A remake, DeCodeX, was created by Rek3dge and released in [[Update 2.0]].


== Description ==
==Description==
DeCode was created shortly after 1.9 was released. At its time, it was considered a hard demon, but is now considered easy, and sometimes very easy, and its difficulty has been lost to much harder demons such as [[Cataclysm]].
*'''0-10%:''' DeCode begins with a single-speed cube section containing relatively easy timings.
*'''10-24%:''' Next, the level transitions into a double-speed ship segment that requires decent straight-flying skills. It then switches to an easy upside-down UFO segment. The player then briefly switches back into a cube with two jumps and goes through some gravity portals.
*'''24-36%:''' This starts up a double-speed wave segment, which can prove difficult for players.
*'''36-48%:''' Afterwards, the level transitions into a double-speed ball segment with fairly difficult timings and fake lines. At the end of the section, the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 flash up.
*'''48-76%:''' The song drops, and the player transitions into a triple-speed cube section featuring many moderately tricky timings and fakes. The level then transitions into a UFO segment with frequent gravity changes. This section is difficult because it requires many well-timed clicks. After this, the player switches back into a cube, which is much easier than the previous sections.
*'''76-84%:''' Afterwards, the player transitions into the infamous slow yet tight wave segment, containing many spikes attached to the top and bottom of the diagonal wavy corridor.
*'''84-91%:''' The player then switches into a half-speed ship segment with gravity changes.
*'''91-100%:''' The last section involves a single-speed mini-cube with lots of easy-to-time jumps scattered throughout two 'block mazes.' Finally, the level ends with Rek3dge's name.

The level starts off with a cube that has pretty easy timing and a few pads, gravity portals and jump rings. The cube then switches to a double speed rocket that requires decent straight fly skills, but otherwise is not that difficult. It then switches to an upside down UFO that requires rapid clicking and good timing, but does not need to be perfect. The player then briefly switches back into a cube with a few jumps, and goes into a couple of gravity portals. This starts up DeCode's double speed wave, which is difficult for players who have not mastered the wave on other wave levels, but is otherwise easy and does not have many tight spaces. The wave then transitions into a gravity ball with hard timings and fake lines, but otherwise is rather simple. At the end of the gravity ball, the numbers "1, 2, 3, 4" flash up. The music then drops and the player transitions into a triple speed cube with moderately difficult timing. The cube then transitions into a UFO with an annoying amount of gravity portals that can cause extreme confusion if the player is not sure what to do. The player switches back into a cube and goes into a similar section to the previous triple speed cube, but not as hard. The player then switches into DeCode's previously "hard" half speed wave, with large amounts of spikes that may intimidate the player and many tight spaces. The player then switches into a ship with a few gravity portals and requires decent flying to avoid crashing into the many spikes lined up in the section. The last section of DeCode involves a mini cube with easy to time jumps, which the level then ends with Rek3dge's name.

* DeCode used to be one of the hardest demons of its time, but was eventually changed to "Easy" because of new hard demons surfacing from hackers or extremely skilled players.
*DeCode cannot be copied. Rek3dge later uploaded a copyable version of the level (8175666).
* The hardest part of DeCode was considered the half speed wave, which is now nothing compared to the majority of difficult [[Nine Circles Levels|Nine Circles levels]] such as [[Poltergeist]] or [[Crimson Clutter]].
*DeCode was ranked #20 in GDToday's '100 Greatest Levels of All Time' list.
