> Murder Madness's level description

Murder Madness is a 1.0 themed rated Hard Demon by Swagwarrior. The level is known for it's incredibly hard straightfly parts and wave sections. It also has tons of references. The level was released on May 5th 2021 and received a balance update on September 9th 2021 and was verified by Brinso on September 11th 2021 and would be rated the following day, until September 15th when NowaR found a secret way that was forgot to be removed, until YoungsOfDragons accidentally verified the balanced version without the secret way on September 19th 2021, which would be rated on September 24th 2021.

It is currently #82 on the TGDPS demon list. Above Maymore and below Broken Record.

### Gameplay:

The Level starts off with a cube part, with the first timing being a bufferclick. This part mainly revolves around orb timings.

The second part uses the wave gamemode, this part has some-what tight corridors and difficult timings. The part ends with a spam part.

The next part uses the ball gamemode. It is one of the most difficult parts of the level, as you need fast clicks and good timing to pass it. There is also a double green orb, where you need to click twice in about 10 frames to pass it.

The following part is the first ship part, which uses straightfly and curved flying. The part also has a very short robot part, which follows up with wave spam. The part ends with a cube part with weird-ish gameplay.

The fifth part is the hardest part in the level, as it has lots of straightfly and orbs in the middle of some straighfly parts. The parts ends with a short cube part, another wave spam, and a short cube part.

The sixth and final part of the level is a symmetrical dual that isn't extremely hard, but takes time to learn. The level ends with a ship part and a wave part with click consistency, and the final part being a cube part with a triple spike. Credits roll with showing the level dedicated to some players, and the level finishes.

## Controversy

### Secret Way

Murder Madness was verified by Swagwarrior on May 27th 2021. It was considered the hardest tgdps level at the time, the level was not rated though despite being a layout that could atleast be star-rated. Though sometime in early September Tal made a deal with Swagwarrior, the creator, to re-balance mm, let someone else verify it, and it would be rated. Swag accepted and let Brinso verify it, he ended up verifying it and it would be rated on September 15th 2021. However the level accidentally had a secret-way that was meant to be removed, this caused people to believe that Brinso had hacked the level. People also went to the original Murder Madness to check if it also had the same secret way, which it did not. Youngs then on September 21st, 2021, accidentally verified it in less then 50 attempts, ending the drama.

### Unnecessary Buffdate

When the level was verified by youngs, he had not only buffed the level, but also added portals, slopes, and other stuff. The "Get Ready" text at the beginning was also changed to "Get Real". This was hated on by the community, and Swag told Youngs to revert the level back to it's original state, which Youngs did.
