xo is a 2.1 Extreme Demon level by KrmaL, published on 23 December 2019.[1] It is a 1.0-style level created in a monochromatic colour scheme almost exclusively using basic blocks and the pulse trigger, along with sync-based gameplay.
Description
[edit | edit source]- 0-10%: xo begins with the player as a mini-cube with four mini-spike jumps, with each jump adding another spike before launching the player via a jump pad. Around 3% lies a chokepoint where the player must precisely time a green dash orb.
- 10-20%: This part of the level contains cube and ship-based gameplay, with straight-fly around 13-14%.
- 20-33%: The level's first drop initially throws the player into mini-wave gameplay, with UFO gameplay around 23%, ball gameplay around 26%, cube gameplay around 28%, and ship gameplay around 30%, which has the player navigate a structure that resembles the level's name after going through a dual portal around the end.
- 33-41%: The player is upsized and has to navigate blue orb timings, which pulse either an X or an O when clicked on.
- 41-50%: The player is first thrown into the second verse of the song, with a tight wave section around 44-45%.
- 50-56%: The player is thrown into ball gameplay, with a ship section around 54%.
- 56-62%: The player turns back into a mini-cube and has to navigate a narrow corridor containing spike jumps and orb timings.
- 62-80%: The second drop initially throws the player into normal-sized wave gameplay, with ball gameplay around 67%, UFO gameplay around 69%, robot gameplay around 71%, ship gameplay around 73%, and finally cube gameplay around 74% containing pink orb spam.
- 80-91%: Ditto to 33-41% except the pulses are larger.
- 91-100%: The level ends with the player navigating messy slope structures, with an auto gravity portal section at the end.
