Horntail Cave
Horntail Cave is a 1.9 Insane Demon level by KeiAs, published on 2 May 2015. It is known for its difficult two-player duals and is one of the first levels to feature such gameplay.
Description
[edit | edit source]Horntail Cave begins with an auto-cube sequence, after which there is a very difficult ship sequence that contains narrow spaces. The scenery changes colour slightly, and there is a much easier wave sequence, and then a simple mini UFO sequence (the player needs to be careful not to crash into a particularly poorly visible uneven floor).
Then there is a cube sequence with a few simple jumps. Here, the player should jump in front of the next portal to avoid getting stuck on the spike in it. Next, the scenery becomes brighter, and the hellishly obscured ball, wave, and UFO sequence begins. Then, the player leaves the 'cave' and flies through invisible columns guided by arrows in a fast ship sequence. Then there is a wave sequence that requires the player to move between sawblades constantly.
Afterwards, there is a simple cube sequence and a long auto sequence, and the player returns to the 'cave'. Then, the duals begin. At first, there is a mixture of a cube with a ship (in the cube, there are invisible blocks and orbs, hazards), then a cube and ball sequence (the cube is auto, and in the ball, one click is required), a cube with a UFO (the player must only click in the UFO), a mini-wave with a UFO (here, the UFO is auto and the wave requires one click) and a cube with a mini UFO, in which the player must gently click with both icons. Next is a fairly simple ship sequence requiring flying between sawblades, followed by a cube requiring yellow and pink orbs to be clicked without timing. The level then ends as the boss falls apart.
