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.[1] 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 Demonlist to contain excessive UFO spamming.
Two sequels/remakes of the level have been made: Heat Stroke by zBrayden and Frigid Thrills by Astrix, flooder and zXdasfsa2. Both levels are awaiting verification and could be placed between the Top 20 and Top 10 once verified and rated.
Gameplay
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 in streams of the victors, it is where they die numerous times.
- 5-20% (para): Next is an unusual cube section. Most timings are not particularly challenging, but there are extreme timings that occur every time the level shifts with its synced speed changes.
- 20-40% (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 start spamming again; otherwise, they will go beneath a particular 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 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 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.
