[5TH HARDEST NC?] PERVASIVE TIDE VERIFIED (Extreme Demon by Vivichuu) | Geometry Dash 2.11 (360 fps)
Channel: Zachiechan

***If you did not watch this during the premiere, just know this is NOT meant to be an April Fools Joke (at least not anymore). It was labeled as “SLAUGHTERWOUSE VERIFIED! (e2=MC*0 Drug Demon)” as an April Fools joke/Inside Joke initially, but when the premiere rolled it was the ACTUAL Pervasive Tide (formerly known as Slaughterwave, hence Slaugherwouse) verification. I got the idea from KrmaL’s Low Death verification, where he titled his video “Gangnam Style Verified'' to throw people off on April Fool’s Day.

After quite a long time, and going through FIVE different verifiers, Pervasive Tide has finally been verified in a state that I think it belongs in. What a crazy ride it’s been seeing this thing come together. Amazing job to Vivichuu, the playtesters, and everyone involved with this project.

Verification Process:
Frost, Me, SpeedyMuffin, BGram, Xanii, SpeedyMuffin (Again), Me (Again)

Enjoyment: 40/100

Opinion on Difficulty: Harder than Aquatic Auroras for sure, a little easier than Arctic Lights. 

Worst Death: 75% (LOL)

Attempts: 17,504 (not including the tons of playtesting I did for Vivi or other copies that have been deleted that I did tons of practice runs on. Probably closer to 25k)

Opinion on Level: Oddly satisfying yet questionable in gameplay. First off, the deco is super unique and has epic effects. Great take on the NC style. In terms of gameplay, the predrop is slightly annoying. it was VERY annoying before the couple nerfs I gave it. I nerfed the predrop because there were a few clicks that were way harder than everything else. Wasn’t fun or fair. In terms of the actual gameplay, it’s very unique. That doesn’t always mean it’s good, however. Super fast CPS in some parts, spammy challenge gameplay, and really awkward corridors. It genuinely hurt my hand at some points where I had to stop playing. 99% of the difficulty of this level is just getting amazing muscle memory. Also, a lot of people call this level second half heavy. I would call it middle heavy instead. That's probably not a good thing, but whatever. Now, I wanna talk a little bit about why I nerfed some parts in the wave. The version I was given was terrible. It’s as simple as that. So much bs, multiple bugs, there was a mini wave at like 54 or something that was complete dogshit that did not belong in the level at all. My version is just more fair in my opinion. Some choke points still remain, but they're much more reasonable. One thing I'd like to talk about is my LDM. Yes, it does nerf the level, and it largely contributes to my placement of it being below Arctic Lights. I didn't want to nerf it visually, but my pc just can't handle full detail or even the LDM I was given. I feel like Speedy's version was definitely harder than AL, not Cosmic but definitely AL. I feel no regret nerfing it because it balanced it and made it more reasonable. I’m not sure if this’ll make it in the Top 5 NC levels because Ringy Paracosm got verified by SpeedyMuffin and Aerial Gleam is getting verified by Doggie. Doesn’t matter that much to me.

My Experience: VERY lucky! Speaking of AL, FLUKE FROM 75 HELLO? So nuts, my heart was beating so fast when I was at the end. you can hear my breaths, praying that I wouldn't choke. Other than my luck, the level was pretty enjoyable after I took the time to fix it. There was so much bs with this level, and it got pretty decent after I polished it up. A rather good experience.

Recommend?: if u wanna hurt ur hand from 3817451 cps go for it lol
