Shardscapes
“quote~ originator
Shardscapes is a 2.1 solo Extreme Demon created and published by Kiba and verified by eiruni on May 6, 2022.[1] The level is slow-paced and timing-based, containing only robot- and mini-robot gameplay. The gameplay is very tight without much room for error, with the player often having to carefully jump on the edges of spikes and hit orbs precisely. The level is split into two halves that contrast each other, with a bright background for the first half and a dark one for the second. The song complements the gameplay by building suspense during the first half of the level.
Gameplay
- 0-39%: The first half of Shardscapes is a long half-speed mini robot section. The player must carefully jump across the suspended structures, often required to make micro-clicks to avoid hitting blocks. There are several blue orbs the player must hit during this section, and having to double-click on two of them. After going through a tight gap, the screen fades to white and then changes to black as the second half begins.
- 40-89%: The second half of Shardscapes is a long normal-speed robot section. This section contains the same type of gameplay as the previous section but with quicker timings. The player must hit many yellow-, green-, and red orbs, some of which they should double-click on. At 74%, the player must triple-click on a green orb.
- 90-100%: At 89%, after the player double-clicks on a green orb, they will disappear as the level slowly fades to black. The background will go completely dark before the level ends.
