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.

*'''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.

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.

The decoration is almost identical to the previous part but with more flashing red/orange objects. The level transitions into the drop after the player passes a tight cube timing between two spikes, leaving them into 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, compared to only some from the last one. The decoration of this section serves as a 'mirror' of the previous sections, mainly flashing orange with some blue objects.

There are two differences between these sections: The final section contains some sloped platforms and green colouring in the decoration. The gameplay becomes automatic until the end of the level after a flat cube section with a few timings.

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.
