'''Cold Sweat''' is a 2.1 Extreme Demon collaboration level created by [[para]], Sminx and [[Wulzy]], published by para and verified by Kapinapi on 13 September 2020, and it was Epic-rated the same day. Cold Sweat is notable for its vibrant visual effects and unique gameplay (similar to [[KrmaL]]'s), along with fake blocks to confuse the player. It is also one of the only levels on the [[Geometry Dash Demonlist|Demonlist]] to contain excessive UFO spamming.

''Note: The names listed are the decorators of the level. para created the entirety of the gameplay.''
*'''0-5% (para):''' Cold Sweat begins with a tricky mini-cube section that contains the hardest cube timings in the whole level. This part is known to be inconsistent, and many players' live streams show them dying here numerous times.
*'''5-21% (para):''' Next is an unusual cube section. Most timings are not particularly challenging, but there are extreme timings that occur whenever the level shifts, with its synced speed changes.
*'''21-42% (para):''' Afterwards, there is a memory-based section. It features numerous timings and micro-clicks. It is still not easy, even after the player learns the path. This part ends with an effect in the cube and a transition into a UFO segment at 42%.
*'''42-60% (Wulzy + para):''' This is a primarily spam-based mini-UFO part, but the difficulty does not come from the click-speed of the spam, as the click-speed is not that high. The challenge comes from the unconventional click pattern, where the player must stop spamming and resume spamming at seemingly random times. One of these instances occurs at 44%, where the player must release and resume spamming; otherwise, they will fall below a specific slope and die.
*'''60-87% (Sminx):''' The wave segment begins with a brief auto section as a cube before the wave. It requires a consistent click pattern and quick reflexes to complete it. Occasionally, the player turns into a normal-sized wave and will have to do normal spamming instead of click consistency in the mini-wave. Another thing the player must do is to hold and enter a load of teleport portals to sync with the music. As for the decoration, each block has a very bright flash of light every four beats within the song.
*'''87-100% (para):''' A very hallucinatory, nerve-racking cube part immediately after the most stressful part of the level - the wave. This part is not very difficult gameplay-wise, but it is possible to crash here from intense nerves at the end of the level. This part is also completely dark, except for the outlines of the blocks, and some effects further reduce visibility, making it somewhat memory-based.


*'''0-5% ([[para]]):''' Cold Sweat begins with a tricky mini-cube section that contains the hardest cube timings in the whole level. This part is known to be inconsistent, and in streams of the victors, they die at this part numerous times.

*'''5-20% (para):''' Next is an unusual cube section. Most timings are not that hard, but there are extreme timings every time the level shifts with its synced speed changes.

*'''20-40% (para):''' Afterward, there is a memory-based section. It features numerous timings and micro-clicks. It is still not easy, even after the player learns the path. This part ends with an effect in the cube and a transition into a UFO segment at 42%.
*'''42-60% ([[Wulzy]] + para):''' This is a primarily spam-based mini-UFO part, but the difficulty does not come from the click-speed of the spam, as the click-speed is not that high. The challenge comes from the unconventional click pattern where the player must stop spamming and resume spamming at seemingly random times. One of these times is at 44%, where the player must release and start spamming again; otherwise, they will go below a slope and die.
*'''61-87% (Sminx):''' The wave segment begins with a brief auto section as a cube before the wave. It requires a consistent click pattern and sharp reflexes to get through it. Occasionally, the player turns into a normal-sized wave and will have to do normal spamming instead of click consistency in the mini-wave. Another thing the player must do is to hold and go into a load of teleportation portals to sync up with the music. As for the decoration, each block has a very bright flash of light every four beats within the song.
*'''87-100% (para):''' A very trippy, nerve-racking cube part immediately after the most stressful part of the level - the wave. This part is not very difficult gameplay-wise, but it is possible to crash here due to being extremely nervous at the end of the level. This part is also completely dark except for the outlines of the blocks, and some effects further reduce visibility, making the part somewhat memory-based.

Cold Sweat is a 2.1 Extreme Demon collaboration level by para, Sminx, and Wulzy, verified by Kapinapi on 13 September 2020.[1] The level is notable for its vibrant visual effects and unique gameplay (similar to KrmaL's), along with fake blocks to confuse the player. It was also one of the only levels that was on the Demonlist to contain excessive UFO spamming.

Description

[edit | edit source]

Note: The names listed are the decorators of the level. para created the entirety of the gameplay.

  • 0-5% (para): Cold Sweat begins with a tricky mini-cube section that contains the hardest cube timings in the whole level. This part is known to be inconsistent, and many players' live streams show them dying here numerous times.
  • 5-21% (para): Next is an unusual cube section. Most timings are not particularly challenging, but there are extreme timings that occur whenever the level shifts, with its synced speed changes.
  • 21-42% (para): Afterwards, there is a memory-based section. It features numerous timings and micro-clicks. It is still not easy, even after the player learns the path. This part ends with an effect in the cube and a transition into a UFO segment at 42%.
  • 42-60% (Wulzy + para): This is a primarily spam-based mini-UFO part, but the difficulty does not come from the click-speed of the spam, as the click-speed is not that high. The challenge comes from the unconventional click pattern, where the player must stop spamming and resume spamming at seemingly random times. One of these instances occurs at 44%, where the player must release and resume spamming; otherwise, they will fall below a specific slope and die.
  • 60-87% (Sminx): The wave segment begins with a brief auto section as a cube before the wave. It requires a consistent click pattern and quick reflexes to complete it. Occasionally, the player turns into a normal-sized wave and will have to do normal spamming instead of click consistency in the mini-wave. Another thing the player must do is to hold and enter a load of teleport portals to sync with the music. As for the decoration, each block has a very bright flash of light every four beats within the song.
  • 87-100% (para): A very hallucinatory, nerve-racking cube part immediately after the most stressful part of the level - the wave. This part is not very difficult gameplay-wise, but it is possible to crash here from intense nerves at the end of the level. This part is also completely dark, except for the outlines of the blocks, and some effects further reduce visibility, making it somewhat memory-based.
