'Nightshade' (Extreme Demon) by YakobNugget, notlsa, ScorchVx & more | Geometry Dash 2.11

3 days ago, YakobNugget suddenly released this huge megacollab out of nowhere. It hasn't had any previews or teasers whatsoever, and the 26 creators in it have kept quiet about it. This is very uncommon for megacollabs these days, and even for levels, as everything is usually hyped up somewhat beforehand. It's definitely cool to see something this big be released so suddenly, and I hope it doesn't affect the level's popularity too much. Maybe it would have gotten way more views on YouTube and downloads in-game if it had been hyped up before. Who knows?

Now, onto the level itself, it's quite huge like I mentioned. It's nearly 3 minutes long, and all of the parts are very good in my opinion. Most of them are design and/or effect in style. The mix between these two styles is handled quite well. As for color scheme, there's a lot of different colors used here, but it's overall rather dark. While you could say it's using rainbow colors, there's so much black mixed in, which fits for the level name they went with. In terms of brightness, it's pretty much opposite of something like Quaoar. Speaking of that, there was some gameplay complaints, but mostly a ton of optimization complaints. I'm pretty sure I recall YakobNugget himself commenting about it. Hopefully he's managed to optimize his own megacollab better than mine.

Perhaps the most exciting part of this level for some is the gameplay. This is a memory level, which is always nice to see in my opinion. That used to be the main way to make levels difficult back in the day, but it slowly faded away over time. Seeing more megacollabs and just levels in general have memory gameplay is fun for an old player like me. I hope newer players find it cool too. Even if it's not your type of gameplay, you have to admit that it's a nice way to change it up from the usual gameplay focused on skill and only that. I'm sure this also requires a lot of skill in addition to the memory, but you get my point. According to YakobNugget and the playtesters of this, it will probably be around 100th place on the Demonlist. It will be fun to see. With everything in mind, I'm sure this will be an Epic Extreme Demon. Special thanks to YakobNugget and Bradenbowl for contacting and providing me with this footage to showcase on the channel.

This level is so amazing. All the creators did a fantastic job! Also, what amazing dog :)

This massive project really came out of nowhere. I think it’s just crazy how they managed to organize such a huge high quality megacollab in secret. All the parts look really sick and the awesome execution goes pretty much through the whole level really consistently. This gotta be one of the most surprising level drops and one of my favorite megacollabs in this year. Would love to see this again at the GD awards nominations :)

[rockwizard]

Yakob is one of the best level hosts in the entire game honestly

[puzzleguy]

"Yakob you can't just drop the sickest megacollab in years with no buildup and leave!"

I've watched this level in its entirety at least 5 times and it never gets old. Even though some parts are lower quality than others, this is probably my favorite extreme that's been released this year. Yakob and everyone else did an awesome job at executing the theme :)
