Backbeat Revenge begins with the screen being rotated. The player starts as a cube, navigating by using green and black orbs. The screen slowly rotates back to normal, and the sequence ends with a yellow pad, followed by a slide transition displaying Camellia's and Darwin's names.

== Trivia ==
*This level contains 115,972 objects.
*This level faced heavy backlash due to its seizure-inducing, and how Darwin previously did not put an epilepsy warning at the beginning of the level.
**Darwin would add an epilepsy warning not long after, however the Event level version still used the original version of the level without the warning.
*Backbeat Revenge was nominated for ''Best Advanced Classic'' in [[The Geometry Dash Awards]] 2025.


At the end of the wave section, the player becomes a cube again, this time in dual mode. The background then changes to white, before the text 'BACKBEAT REVENGE' appears, following the song's lyrics. Both icons activate a dash orb and take the player to a dual-gameplay section, where the player must focus on the bottom icon while jumping onto platforms marked with evenly spaced jump indicators. The top icon goes static for some time.

==Controversy==
Backbeat Revenge faced heavy backlash due to its seizure-inducing, flashy visuals. At release, Darwin did not provide a seizure warning at the beginning of the level. Many critics reviled the level as unsightreadable, even for those who did not have epilepsy, such as [[Moderators|Moderator]] Incidius:
{{Quote
|quote      = Please add an option to reduce flashiness [...] I have a headache now. Thanks
|originator = Incidius
}}
Despite some users protesting that those who were seizure-prone should not play [[Geometry Dash]], Darwin updated the level to include a warning at the beginning. However, the warning was not present on the Event Level copy because it was update-locked.
 
The backlash left a long-lasting impact, as Darwin included a seizure warning in the description of his showcases for both M A N I A and TERMINA (only the latter has a warning within the level itself), stating he had 'learnt [his] lesson'.
 
==Trivia==
*According to Darwin, Backbeat Revenge was built over 670 hours of work. This feat means the level spent less time as the Event Level than it did in the editor.
*Backbeat Revenge was the third of a streak of seven consecutive Mythic Event Levels.
*Backbeat Revenge was nominated for ''Best Advanced Classic'' in [[The Geometry Dash Awards]] 2025 alongside three other Event Levels. It went on to place second, only behind Skeletal Shenanigans.
*With the release of [[Blackfire Backfire]], ''Chimera Dragons'' became the first album to feature in two separate Event Levels (discounting the NoCopyrightSounds x Geometry Dash album).
