Deliverance

**Deliverance** is a solo Easy Demon created, verified, and published by NagromX. It was released on October 28, 2020 and was star rated within an hour. The level is known for it's flowy and fast paced gameplay and for being Cycron's first effect layout. The level has a long history of both positive and negative reception. Some praise it for being extremely satisfying to play and having excellent sync, while others criticize it for being difficult to both read and learn.

## Gameplay

#### 0-28%

This level begins with a slow cube introduction, which gains speed and is eventually launched into the drop. Virtually the entire level from here on out is in 4x speed with one input per beat and has rapidly changing gamemodes, beginning with a UFO. After changing gravity twice and switching back to a cube, the player is almost immediately launched yet again, this time into a ball with two orbs that must be buffered. After leveling out into a short straight fly, a small robot click leads into yet another ship which is held into a reverse gravity transition. The player turns into a wave and flips back around before another held input launches the player a third time into a UFO. A dash orb then arcs the player into the next section.

#### 28-48%

Keeping the fast pace, a ball and cube with more buffered inputs lead into a spider part. This spider is arguably the most difficult part of the level, having one addition input in between beats due to the changing melody of the song. After the player transitions into a ship, a held green orb leads to one final transition and buffered pink orb with a robot before the level finally begins to slow down. A simple cube and text reading "Halfway there!" mark the midpoint of the level and a very brief rest area for the player.

#### 48-70%

The level goes back into 4x speed and the player must perform three somewhat precise cube inputs before the latter one helps transition back into a ship. One additional cube buffer launches the player into a ball. This ball contains one yellow orb which then levels out the player into yet another ship, which transitions into a spider. After three more spider inputs, another dash orb arcs the player into the next part, almost identically to that of the first section.

#### 70-100%

After flipping gravity, a pink orb and cube jump transitions into another UFO segment and then a fast wave input and release. A short robot staircase then leads into a ball, which has a buffer input that flips it onto a ramp. A green orb then launches the ball into the opposite direction through a short cube interlude, which uses a red orb to lead into one last prolonged straight fly. Upon reaching the final cube portal, the level suddenly slows as the music relaxes and the screen fades to black, ending the level.
