Kappaclysm
Kappaclysm is a 1.9/2.1 Harder collaboration level by Glittershroom and Evasium, published on 19 May 2015. It is the first level of the Blade Pack and the fourth level of the Chaos Gauntlet.
Description
[edit | edit source]The gameplay is primarily based on Cataclysm. Kappaclysm begins with a simple, slow-speed cube section. An easy normal-speed ball segment follows. Just before the drop of the song, a short wave with decoration inspired by the final wave in Cataclysm occurs. Then, a short ship section that proceeds through a mini-portal into a section inspired by the short wave segment following the first ship in the original level. A moderately difficult UFO part that plays and is decorated very similarly to the previous part follows. After this, a short, fast-speed cube section that slows down partway through.
A short ship section akin to the original level's first then plays. A nerfed version of the mini cube halfway through the original follows, with the following ball and UFO parts being similar. The mini ship also plays as a nerfed version of the section it was inspired by. After this, a wave part based on the original's iconic final wave plays. The rest of the level plays almost identically to Cataclysm, with the text 'Evasium' and 'Glittershroom' written before the player passes over the 'GG' from the original.
