Acropolis

Easy Coin Update
 — Zobros

****Acropolis**** is a 1.9/2.0 Insane Demon created by Zobros. It is notoriously difficult because of its numerous tight spaces, thorn "balls" and spikes everywhere, and crucial timings. It is generally considered a Very Hard Demon, and sometimes a Hard Demon.

## Gameplay

* **0-15%:** The level starts with a half-speed cube section which consists of some very difficult jumps and drops that need crucial timing. This section gets more difficult as it goes on.
* **16-24%:** Next, the player enters a moderately difficult ball segment that needs timing because of spikes and thorn balls everywhere. It usually takes a long time to study this segment because it has numerous traps and timings.
* **25-33%:** Afterward, the player transitions into a ship sequence with tight spaces. This sequence is not very hard compared to other parts, but it is very difficult nonetheless.
* **34-42%:** Afterward, the player enters a difficult cube section that contains numerous traps, invisible spikes, and thorn "balls" everywhere that mostly cover the various jump orbs.

* **43-51%:** If the player manages to pass the cube, he/she will enter a moderately difficult ship sequence with extremely tight spaces, which requires a bit of skill.
* **52-59%:** After the ship, the player transitions into a difficult UFO section that has quite a specific tap pattern.
* **60-68%:** Next, the player enters a ball segment that is very similar to the first one, with tricky timings everywhere throughout the section.
* **69-78%:** Afterward, he/she enters a cube section with a few simple jumps over clusters of tiny grey spikes.
* **79-100%:** Lastly, the player enters a hard wave segment with extremely tight spaces, thorn balls, and spikes everywhere. Near the end of the level, Zobros's name is shown. Finally, the level ends.

### User Coins

* The first coin is located at the first ball segment at 20%. It is fairly easy to get as the player only needs to jump over the pink jump ring with good timing since the coin is under the pink jump orb.
* The second coin is located at the second ship sequence, at 46%. Located near the gravity portal, the player must time his/her flying very well in order to avoid crashing into the spikes lining the player's passage while being in a position that lets him/her grab the second coin.
* The third and final coin is located at the final wave segment, at 95%. The coin is located at the top of the spike "balls." The player must carefully get the coin as there are blocks under the coin that may cause the player to crash easily.
