glungus is a 2.2 Extreme Demon platformer level by dpoopoop, published on 25 November 2024, and verified on 13 February 2025. It is the hardest Epic rated platformer level, and the hardest rated platformer level made and verified by one person. It features a story unlike most top platformer Demons.

Description

Start

Intro cutscene

glungus begins with a cutscene of the tower room, with characters sitting on the sofa watching TV of a robot about to perform a gate jump. Then some characters say quotes.

• Custi: Look at him go!
• Felicity: Will he make the jump?

The character from Ploink vibrates and holds out a phone. The notification reads:

• Spectre has been placed at #6, above Tunnel of Despair and below Avernus, with a list requirement of 75%. This pushes Sakupen Circles out of the Top 10, Lotus Flower into the Extended List, and Ploink back into the Legacy List.

The phone disappears and the Ploink character becomes sad. The following quotes appear:

• Ploink: ...
• Glungus: Cheer up, let's watch the news.
• Ploink: Can you switch to the news?
• Custi: On it.

Custi uses his hook to change the TV channel to the news. The camera then zooms to the TV and Kool Klown says these quotes in order.

• Kool Klown: Breaking news!
• Kool Klown: Something new opened in the moons factory!
• Kool Klown: It's a moon powered particle accelerator!
• Kool Klown: Dosterhoz announces that it will be tested.

Then the camera zooms to the starting area, revealing the player in the Moons Factory.

Control room

The first room of the starting area features a checkpoint, a sign on the left that displays all of the playtesters, and Dosterhoz to the right. Talking to Dosterhoz will display these quotes in order:

• Dosterhoz: Bienvenidos a la fabrica de lunas!
• Player: Uh, I don't understand.
• Dosterhoz: Erm... Whoops. Welcome to the moons factory!
• Dosterhoz: We've got a new particle accelerator that we want to test.
• Dosterhoz: It uses the power of moons to produce lots of energy!
• Dosterhoz: Want to turn it on? If you look up, there's a button to open the gates.

Two platforms on chains lower down, allowing the player to press the button on the ceiling which gives access to the other rooms.

Settings room

This room is used to adjust certain things, such as the player's appearance, the level's song, and the amount of detail the level has. The player can choose their apperance ranging from Everybody Edits faces, Discord profile pictures, icons in bubbles, emojis, and difficulty faces. They can also choose a random appearance every attempt or make them constantly cycle through random appearances.

Entrance room

This room has a sign that says "The following level is not humanly possible... So how about we just give up now?", and 4 orbs that act as trackers while playing the level. The 4 trackers are:

• Attempts - The amount of the attempts the player has in this session.
• Death Tracker - How much deaths the player has died to in each specific section during this session.
• Input Tracker - Arrows on the corner of the screen that light up when the player presses movement or jump buttons.
• Percent - How far you are in the level, just like the percent in Classic levels.

There's a button on the ceiling, and pressing it will open the gate to a dash orb that the player must hold to get to a checkpoint at the start of the main level.

Main level

0-24% (Mesabisos-Void World)

The main level starts with the player using a chain of dash orbs to collect a gray heart. After that, they slide down and up again to a teleport orb, teleporting them towards another dash orb chain. Gabest's face appears as the player collects a purple heart, which shortly follows another teleport orb. The player performs another dash orb chain while a boot kicks off thearmyants's log allowing the player to continue. A creator point symbol appears with the last dash orb chain, and the text "keep going" as this section ends with the player sliding through the Beatpulse emoji and jumping into the next section.

25-49% (Factory Frostbite-Bouncy Ball)

The Factory Frostbite emoji falls down, shaking the screen and causing the factory to start filling up with moons as the screen scrolls up. The text "moons!" can be seen flashing rapidly. In this section, there are green pads from i00 that rebound the player when touching them. Then a Bouncy Ball emoji appears, a Free Solo emoji appears with the text "I've got the butter!", then the text "escape!" flashes rapidly as Katalysm on a cup can be seen floating left to right. A moon made of moons appears with text underneath saying "Chill like a moongrinder." as the section ends.

50-74% (Decaying Silo-Ban)

As the moons fill up the factory, the Decaying Silo emoji pops off as the player enters the city. The banners in this section display "Rate apricot tower" and "Pemonlist" The player does the usual dash orb chain, collecting cheese along the way. An Everybody Edits emoji, a sob emoji, and a jeans emoji appear together forming a stickman, then the Ban emoji appears and whacks the stickman with a hammer. After that, you can see zenothecheetah on a building, and The Kid from i wanna be the guy jumping across buildings in the background. Emoji9 with Terminal Heaven wings then eats the cheese and flies up, allowing the player to enter the last section.

75-100% (How to platformer-Jetpack Trials)

The How to platformer emoji zooms by, and Lain in a trash can be seen at the start of this section. The banners in this section display "Vote for Zain Ahmed", "Rate CARNIVAL", "Get a cup for $11.79! Lore accurate.". The screen scrolls right as a lot emojis fly along the wind. In this section, there are platforms from bramble scramble that boost the player. The ending of this section is signified with the Jetpack Trials emoji flying by, and the player jumping over a smiling spike. A "GG" appears and the camera zooms back to the news.

Then it goes back to the tower room, as these quotes appear:

• Ploink: The news was so cool to watch!
• Glungus: Can we turn off the TV now?
• Custi: Sure, let me do it.

Custi then uses his hook to turn off the TV. Suddenly, a loud bang can be heard, and this quote appears:

• Player: I'm free! I'm free! Finally!
• Felicity: By the way, where did you come from?
• Player: So I got put into a particle accelerator,
• Player: And things went a bit wrong...
• Player: I somehow escaped through a silo at the top,
• Player: And I went flying through the city...
• Player: I landed here, it wasn't so pleasant.
• Felicity: That's crazy. I hope you're still okay.
• Player: Yeah... I'm fine.......
• Felicity: Alright, we'll head back to the tower. See ya!
• Player: Bye.....

MrNexis, Felicity, and Custi then head back to the tower, and the screen zooms out and the player can now move.

Backyard

A checkpoint can be seen at the start of the area, with the LXE emoji which the player can talk to. The quotes say:

• LXE: Before entering the tower, you should check this place out
• LXE: You might find food to feed glungus!
• LXE: NPCs allow entry of specific places if you're stylish enough.

• Kool Klown: I see that you have the fish in the sink!
• Come a bit closer, and you shall become fish...

The Ploink character then peeps as the player moves to Kool Klown's hands. Kool Klown then grabs the fish in the sink from the player, and slams it on the player to turn them into a fish. The Ploink character then hides back under the sofa, and Glungus says these quotes:

• Glungus: The fish looks so yummy! Come here!

The player, now a fish, jumps into Glungus's mouth, eating the player. The text "glungus" appears, and the level ends. The credits scene now rolls, which displays the playtesters, dedications, inspirations, special thanks, and quotes from other players. The quotes are:
