Created
Fairydust is a 1.9 Hard Demon level by mkComic. It is a remake of Nine Circles and was formerly considered one of the hardest Nine Circles levels. In addition, this level significantly improves one's wave skills.
History
[edit | edit source]When Nine Circles became famous for its strobing light effects, mkComic decided to create another level using the NIGHTkilla song 'Fairydust'. He selected a purple colour scheme and started building. On 27 February 2015, mkComic verified and published the level.[1] The level was soon rated Demon. Once multiple Demon difficulties were introduced in Update 2.1, it was initially rated as an Insane Demon, but it was later changed to its current Hard Demon rating.
Description
[edit | edit source]- 0-14%: Fairydust begins with a slightly difficult cube section featuring a short maze with fake blocks and minor memorization.
- 14-22%: Next, the player enters a fairly easy ball segment, requiring only a few inputs.
- 22-29%: Then, the player enters a semi-auto cube section containing a few easy jumps.
- 29-73%: The music drops, and the level goes into the infamous Nine Circles wave segment. Like all Nine Circles levels, the wave contains flashing lights, triple speed, tight spaces, requires decent spamming and many crucial timings that will otherwise instantly cause the player to crash if done incorrectly. The first section of this wave is quite irritating due to odd gravity portals, tight spaces, and awkward click patterns. The mini-wave is also a significant part of the wave, being very difficult and clunky to control, further increasing the level's difficulty by forcing precision as it alternates between awkward timings, gravity switches, and a couple of difficult spamming segments around the middle of the level. The wave, in the end, briefly enters the dual mode.
- 73-100%: Afterwards, the player transitions into a double-speed wave segment with more tight spaces. It is easy to crash here due to the transition, odd timings, and an incentive to react quickly to avoid hitting the lower wall. The wave segment ends, and the player briefly transitions to a cube before going into a triple-speed mini-ship sequence, practically the end of the level. Finally, the level ends with a "GG", a Lenny face, and an auto cube section with SuperPizzaLuigi (mkComic)'s name.
Errors
[edit | edit source]- The auto cube before the drop may be buggy.
- The player can skip the second dual portal and remain a single wave.
- At the end of the first dual, it is possible to miss the double-speed portal and stay at triple speed.
- After the first double-speed wave segment (51%), it is possible to miss the mini-size portal, leading to a crash.
- At the end of the second dual segment, it is possible to miss the mini-size portal.
- At the end, the player can skip the last cube portal and remain as a ship due to a large amount of space.
