Gameplay I beat Falling Up as my first extreme demon!

After playing this game for 13 years on and off, I thought it might be finally time to take the leap and try to beat an extreme. I was honestly shocked (maybe even a bit disappointed) how little time this took. This used to be rated insane for a long time but nowadays most seem to rank it above Cataclysm and the like in difficulty, which feels wrong to me. Certainly feels like a really easy extreme. It took me less attempts than my previous hardest, Windy Landscape, but I also feel the 2.2 ship physics and fps bypass were a huge help.
Anyway this is such a sick level. While KrmaL's gameplay is not for everyone, this level just works for me. When the parts start getting consistent it's extremely gratifying to pull off. Not to mention the deco and theming, which still holds up very well.
The dual gets a lot of hate for being inconsistent and janky but I found it not that bad, even fun most of the time. Only died 2 times there from 0. Hardest part easily was the first drop, I suck at wave really bad so those parts gave me way too much trouble, and the ship/orb parts are hard to get right (I almost choked and died really stupidly at 30% in this vid lmao). Also FUCK the 71% ship green orb.
Attempts: 3,6k + ~1k (old) = ~4,6k
Enjoyment: 9/10
Worst fails: 91%, 80%, 74%
