'''The Nightmare''' is a [[Update 1.2|1.2]]/[[Update 1.7|1.7]] Easy Demon level by [[Jax]], published on 20 October 2013. It is the second level of [[Map Packs|Demon Pack 3]].


== Gameplay ==
==Description==
The level starts off with quite a basic ball sequence. To pass it, you must change gravity many times while hitting any jump rings or pads. After switching gravity in a 4-block wide pass, there are jump pads in which you mustn't hit. Before hitting the first one, switch gravity and do the same two more times. The final jump pad you must hit, and it will bring you into a narrow pass. Change gravity along with the way the hills go up and down.
The Nightmare features a mix of ball, cube, and ship sequences with gravity-based challenges.
*A ball segment with gravity changes and orb/pad inputs takes place from 0% to 20%.
*A mirrored cube sequence with straightforward jumps spans 21% to 40%.
*A second ball segment with gravity portals and a reverse gravity trap occurs from 41% to 60%.
*A ship sequence with invisible pillars and gravity switches follows from 61% to 80%.
*A final cube sequence with rapid jumps and a triple-speed ship segment concludes the level from 81% to 100%.


Afterwards you will hit a reverse cube sequence. This part is basic, as the jumps are not too confusing or fast, and there are no faker rings or pads. In the middle of it, you will revert back to going right.

Next, there will be another ball sequence. All you will need to do is change gravity to dodge the incoming obstacles. At the end, you must change gravity before entering the portal or you will enter the cube portal in anti-gravity, resulting in a crash.
==Trivia==
 
*The Nightmare was rated on 22 November 2013, one of the first five Demons rated simultaneously.
Right after entering the cube portal, there will be a jump pad and you will be launched into a ship portal. The ship sequence may be annoying to new players, as you will need to navigate through a stream of pillars made of invisible blocks, with small colored blocks for guidance. You will then enter a cube portal, to fall down a sequence of blocks. The last block has an invisible spike, so you will need to jump over it. The next ship part following immediately after is only slightly harder, as it is basically the same except you switch gravity in the middle of it.
*The Nightmare holds several popularity distinctions, including:
 
**The most-downloaded level in a [[Map Packs|Map Pack]].
After falling down another sequence of blocks, you will enter a ship sequence similar to that of Cycles; switching gravity constantly. Following is a cube sequence basically the same as the other two, except that there is a gap in the middle. The next ship sequence, the final one in this pattern, is just flying upside-down through a series of pillars.
**The most-downloaded Easy Demon.
 
**The second-most-downloaded Demon level, behind [[Bloodbath]].
After the following cube sequence, there is a ball sequence in which there is many gravity portals. These gravity portals, however, are only used to cross gaps. You must flip gravity whenever there is a gap to avoid crashing.
***For several years, The Nightmare was the most-downloaded Demon level in the game. Bloodbath overtook it in March 2026.  
 
**The third-most-downloaded level in the game, behind Bloodbath and [[OuterSpace]].
Following that is another cube sequence that is quite harder than the first one. The times in which you must jump come more rapidly and there is one fake jump ring. Right after is a double-speed ship sequence, where you will need to fly through a large passageway. Ending off the level is a double-speed cube sequence, which requires jumps in a similar pattern as to the end of Polargeist.
**The fourth-most-liked level in the game, behind [[ReTraY]], [[Sonar]], and OuterSpace.
