## Overview

**The Chaos** is the 54th level in Dancing Line.

### Landscape

The path during the first half of the level is in its bridge form. It is colored yellow and forms by falling from sky. Underneath the path, there are many large blocks at different heights and of different colors (namely yellow, orange, dark orange, etc.). All around the path, large, flat blocks that are coloured dark orange float in the air at odd angles.

The player then arrives at a corridor, where red lines parallel to each other make up the path. After the player leaves the corridor, the path turns back into its bridge form, narrows and turns brown. Underneath the path, perpendicular lines coloured beige and brown criss-cross each other.

After this, multiple paths appear on either side of the real path, but they are tilted at different angles.

Finally, large brown pillars start to shoot at the line but stop just short of crushing it. The player then arrives at the concluding pyramid, and another pyramid can be seen underneath it, giving the appearance of a reflection.

## Soundtrack

The original song of this level is a copyrighted music called *Guardians*, which has been shortened by Cheetah Mobile. The song itself is a remix of Light Year.

The BPM is 136 entirely for the song.

## Difficulty

* This level may seem easy at the beginning due to wide paths and simple tapping patterns. However, soon after 10%, the player will be required to perform swift consecutive taps.
* Most of the time, the path is quite obvious and relatively wide. The main difficulty comes from the extreme number of swift consecutive taps/clicks that the player must perform.
* The difficulty increases drastically from 60% to 100% because of the narrow path. If the player does not tap/click correctly and on time, the cube will fly out to the abyss below, resulting in a loss.
* The hardest part in this level is when you have to do a swift consecutive taps/clicks back and forth, 7 times in a row.
* From 42% to 50%, the path is formed less than 2 seconds from the cube, making prediction of the path quite hard.
* There is a lot of lag on older devices.

## Strategy

* Listen to the rhythm, especially the beats, bass and orchestra carefully.
* After 10%, follow the main melody closely. This will ensure that you collect all gems and do not fall off the path.
* Ignore all distractions in the background. It is best not to think about anything else other than the level. First time players should play this level with utmost concentration.
* Sometimes, you can take shortcuts to avoid the 7 consecutive swift taps/clicks. It is possible to escape with only 5 or even 3 taps/clicks. Also, you can just tap 2 times when you are supposed to tap 4 times. It should be noted, however, that these tricks only work for earlier parts of the level.
* Use the path and music to predict the tapping pattern.
* To avoid lag, do not set your quality to ultra (this happens mainly on older devices).
* Recently with The Racing update guides were added to all levels (Excluding Racing), making this level much easier.

## Glitch

The fog glitch. You cannot see clearly if this glitch occurs.

## Trivia

* The Chaos is the second level to not feature any natural scenery.
* The Chaos consists of only warm colors.
* The Chaos could've been inspired by Hell or a distortion world; given the title, choice of music, the way the path forms and the background.
* The Chaos is the first level without fog.
* On the level you can saw the color of the line. It is not brown, but dark red or burgundy.
* The Chaos is the first level to have vocal accompaniment in the soundtrack (orchestra). The other levels with the accompaniment are The Cathedral (choir), The Crystal (opera), All About Us (solo singer), The Valentines (solo singer), The West (solo singer), The Hip Hop Evolution (rapping), The Football (choir), and The Romance (solo singer).
* Appropriately, the Chaos skin goes well with this level.
* Some parts of this level's icon have what appears to be placeholder textures.
* A recent Rolling Sky level uses this levels song.
