Fragile
“quote~ originator
Fragile is a 2.1 Extreme Demon mega-collaboration hosted and published by EndLevel and originally verified by Orizu on December 4, 2020. It was later re-verified by vaen for an update on July 19, 2022.[1] It is a redecorated combination of kowareta and Shibireta, which are two levels that EndLevel collaborated with Shuri and Minaxa to create previously.
Gameplay
- 0-16% (Yuko): The level starts with an extremely tricky green ring jump timing. In addition, this part is at double speed and has gravity portals that can confuse the player. After a few seconds, the speed slows down, the music calms down, and the player enters a ship sequence with a tight space and several jump rings.
- 17-27% (XLSpiral): After that, the music becomes more intense, the next mini-cube also has a dash orb, and the timings become harder. Next is a short mini-ball with timings, which will become a cube, which changes size, and then a relatively difficult ship, which will soon become smaller.
- 28-46% (EndLevel): After that, the player must prepare for the drop because everything is present in this gameplay, so this level is considered more difficult, even than Bloodlust: tiny parts, hard timings, as well as unstable speed are a sign of tremendous complexity. This extreme part begins as a cube, a mini-ship with a narrow space, a very tight mini-wave with many portals for switching gravity, and a ship with hard timings and straight flying. The complexity does not decrease, and further on, the player awaits the unbearably difficult fan-made swing copter, along with a dual spider and a cube, which will turn into a ship. After that is another cube containing Plasma Pulse Finale-like timings and a narrow passage into a UFO. Later, the player is waited for by unrealistically difficult timings in some ship sequences, along with a UFO. Then, the player is met with a wave that will change size at some point, an extreme cube section along with straight flying as a ship, a few cube timings, and finally, a brief ship corridor.
- 47-64% (Deadlox):
- 65-80% (ARtu):
- 81-91% (Minaxa):
- 92-100% (ViRuZ):
