Geometry Dash: History of Exterme Demons/Element 111 Rg

This is part of the Extreme Demon Series that I'm making. More coming soon! Anyways, let us begin with some context.

In the GW (Geometry World) community, a creator named GW Arco wanted to start a series of levels that were based on the periodic table. For example, the first level would be called "Element 1 H" and then the one after that would be called "Element 2 He", and then the one after that would be called "Element 3 Li", and so on, and so on. It didn't have a set order of creators, and anyone could join. Unfortunately, only 28 of the planned 118 levels actually created, with some being never worked on, unfinished, never uploaded, or had no set creator.

One of the creators, Foldering, or DarkX, as his Geometry Dash username was, would be making element levels 111 Rg to 118 Uuo (In 2014, scientists hadn't named elements 116-118 yet). Element 111 Rg was released on April 6, 2014 by DarkX. A few weeks before, DarkX posted a picture of the level. It showcased a flipped gravity mirror ship part with black colored blocks and a very unique and tight spike arrangement that transitioned into a regular gravity portal and a default block design, which also had some tight flying. And four days after the level was rated, RobTop (the developer of the Geometry Dash) star-rated the level Demon on April 10, 2014. The same day it was rated, players would be complaining about the difficulty of the level, with many posting pictures of the beginning of the level, showing a three-spike corner jump. There was also a picture post of a tight straight-fly part that came right after the part mentioned in the sneak-peak. Suddenly, the next day, random players started beating the level out of nowhere. It was because of a hidden path that abused the hitboxes of the spikes on the blocks, which DarkX probably used to verify the level in the first place. It spread around the GW community; players then started giving DarkX lots of backlash for making a extremely hard and adding a hidden path. Some players suggested that DarkX remove the hidden path and nerf the level. DarkX would comply, and make a nerfed version of the level and block off the hidden path. However, another secret way was discovered somewhere else in the level, which ended up giving DarkX more backlash. RobTop unrated shortly after, on April 15, 2014. DarkX would delete his Geometry Dash account. Soon after, the level would be deleted, probably by RobTop accidentally in his level deleting purge possibly around August 15, 2014.

Around April 13, 2014, a user by the name of Gw Unicorn wanted to review Element 111 Rg. What this user would do was review levels that users sent him, played it, and took images of the levels; Element 111 Rg was one of them. Unicorn talked about how it had recently been nerfed and wanted to play the level. DarkX, however, cancelled the review. However, a while before, Unicorn reviewed a level by DarkX called "Theory of Clutter". Back then, DarkX's username was DarkM, which means that his username probably was a synonym for dark matter. The level is also deleted, so it is unknown how many more levels DarkX made. The level has been restored to some extent, but most of the level has been lost.

In 2017, a Swedish player named Stormfly and a few Korean players, like Pamka, 100, etc., who remembered playing the level, decided to recreate it using pictures, videos, and memory from players. The level was mostly theoretical gameplay, and still is and was released sometime in the middle of 2020. However after that, a lot of new info came out for the level and another level that DarkX made. For one thing, a player named GW Zac began showing a lot of gameplay he remembered from 111 Rg. In Zac's level, Leap of Mistrust, a lot of gameplay in that level was taken from 111 Rg. It was then added to the recreated version of Element 111 Rg. For another, one plsyer named Geome-Try Dasher, uploaded two videos to his YouTube channel supposedly showcasing sections of Element 111 Rg. It is unknown what the level in the videos are, but images of the level secret path shows that the colors in the background align perfectly with the videos. However, the level in the videos have slopes in them, which weren't added until update 1.8, with the level being removed before then. To add more to this anomaly, the videos were recorded in March 2014, a month before the level was actually released. But the parts in the two videos were interpreted into the remake of the level. In 2022, the level was updated again, removing one of the parts that Geome-Try Dasher showcased, and improved parts.
