Forest Temple is a 2.0 Hard Demon created by Michigun. It is his fifth Temple level and first 2.0 level.

Gameplay

• 0-20%: The level starts with a tricky normal-speed cube section with several difficult timings and spike jumps, many tight spaces, and tons of triple and quadruple spikes.
• 20-26%: The level transitions to a normal-speed UFO segment. This section contains several obstacles reminiscent of Flappy Bird, and numerous tight spaces where consistency is required.
• 26-31%: The level transitions to a half-speed ship sequence, with extremely tight spaces and very little room to fly around.
• 31-41%: Following this is a difficult transition into double-speed wave gameplay, with black "stuff" lining the walls which kills you. Due to the black stuff which blends in with the dark background, there is much less room than it seems.
• 41-50%: Next, there is a double-speed ship sequence with many "spike wheels" of twelve spikes arranged in a wheel, where the spikes pulse green in a rotating pattern. The player must maneuver through tight corridors up and down, and after that is a bit of straight flying.
• 51-57%: The player enters a dark normal-speed mini-UFO section. Here, the obstacles consist of numerous fading spikes, blocks, and platforms, making it very difficult to see the gameplay. This part requires some memorization and timing to pass.
• 58-65%: This is the most notorious part of the level. The player has to maneuver a normal ship through tight spaces, but the real challenge comes from the four "gates" that the player has to go through. They are made of spikes placed one block apart; however, they close in on the player, making it extremely tight to get through.
• 65-72%: The player then transitions into a half-speed normal-sized wave section, reminiscent of DeCode. This part looks very intimidating, but is actually one of the easier parts of the level. The transition into the robot is somewhat difficult though, as you have to be going at the right angle not to fall too far or go up too much.
• 72-80%: After a rather difficult transition, the player is in a normal-speed robot section. This area is comprised of many difficult and precise spike jumps, and a lot of memorization, as there are some invisible blocks.
• 81-87%: The player transitions into a tricky ball section, which focuses on tight timings and spike gaps.
• 87-100%: Finally, the player enters a short cube section, which gets its difficulty from memorization. It is likely the easiest part of the level, though it is at the very end. At 93%, there are the words Forest Temple, signaling the level is over, and at the end, a Triforce symbol will appear.
