Erou - JonathanGD (Medium Demon) | Geometry Dash

Completion attempt starts at 0:22.

So this level just dropped like 8 hours ago and like most GD players I'm a fan of Jonathan. I've already beaten Future Funk and Biru (and I have 87% on Dark Travel but I haven't touched it in literally over a year) so I thought I would take some time off my day just to beat this.

Biru, the first and the prequel, was a level I beat around May last year, actually back when Firewall was my hardest. Around this time I felt very accomplished with my IRL work at school, I was getting to make new friends in a youth group and it just felt so refreshing. I really felt like I was growing and maturing as a person. And looking back, I really did. So by association, Biru holds some significance for me, as if it were a representative fragment of the better, calmer parts of 2021.

Back then, Biru took me a few days across a couple weeks to deal with but I remember feeling so triumphant when I beat it. It was great at helping me get better at nerve control and it was just a breath of fresh air thanks to Jonathan's style.

Because Biru is a notable GD milestone of mine, I decided to try the long-awaited sequel, Erou, which has tons of time and effort put into it. And it SHOWS. There is care in not just the decoration (which is by default superb cuz JonathanGD level) but also the gameplay and balancing. I can tell that Jonathan has gotten much better at gameplay; they're more fun, fluid and less unfair nowadays.

This time around, now that I have 3 (or 2, because Aino) extremes and am way better at the game, it only took me an hour to beat. Honestly I even wish I took it slower because it's just very relaxing and calming. The great color palette, pacing, and song compatibility really add to the atmosphere. Next to Dark Odyssey (which I will pick up soon!!), this is his best level yet.

If your device can run it, please play this. Especially if you need something easy and need to get better at nerve control. The experience will probably be more magical for you if your hardests are medium demons. But Jonathan, he's done it again. great job and looking forward to more!

Attempts: 68 (+ around 10 in a copy I didn't show for practicing dual onwards)
Enjoyment: 10/10
Hardest part: 79 - 88% (the wave after the spider has awkward transition clicks in, you can see me barely graze the spikes and almost die. The ship afterwards is a nerve control test and very easy to choke)
Easiest part: 0 - 20% (for a beginning, it somehow doesn't manage to be boring)
Skillsets: Nerve control, consistency, ship

GDDP tier: none
My opinion: Bronze (where Biru used to be)
GDDL tier: none
My opinion: 6 or 7
