[[ TOP 40 ]] "Zeroshi" layout by Aquafloria

♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡

sorry 4 not posting in so long ... i've basically been playing disabled so i haven't been able 2 play shukketsu ........ OR ANYTHING REALLY 4 THAT MATTER !!

♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡

this is a remake of an old layout by @lexycat . it was initially designed to be somewhere between top 1 and top 5 (( around the time when tartarus was . like . just dethroned by slh , i believe ?? or maybe just before that )) so i tried to keep it around that difficulty but im not really the best at balancing ... it'll get nerfed !! i swear !! but . like . im still searching for playtesters currently ...

i sincerely hope i can get this decorated (( even though i know like one decorator :sob: )) and maybe even get it rated ... but even if this dies , im still very satisfied with what i have now !!

if u have any inquiries , u can send me a friend request on discord or join my discord server and ask there !! i don't bite !!

||  BORING !! BORING STORY !! BORING !!!!!!!!!!  ||
======================================
when i first discovered angelicide , i was genuinely blown away . i had no idea that it was possible to make such a beautiful layout in geometry dash ... and it was just ... so ... cool !!!!!!!!!! it was exactly what i used to imagine in my head , translated beautifully into a single layout . i began having these grandiose visions of crazy layouts with the icon flying all over the screen , and those visions manifested themselves into my first semi-decent layout ; darling !!

i was so proud to see my visions translated into layout form ... i ended up giving up on structuring , but darling was still incredibly important to me . it brought me a lot of motivation to build !! so i kept on working and refining my skills , slowly . i made a couple layouts but never ended up posting them because i didn't wanna post unstructured slop ... but even when i structured , none of my layouts really felt special enough for me to feel satisfied posting them ** .

then i stumbled upon the old version of zeroshi ; i had seen references to it in angelicide and i had a vague idea of what it was , but i had no idea there was footage of the actual layout that was still up !! i had just come out of (( almost )) fully structuring a layout , and i felt like i had what it takes to revive this layout . so i did it !! and it ended up being a blast to make ...

i had no idea that there was a bunch of lore surrounding this level . when i shared this with lexy , she taught me about her initial creative vision and a little bit of what zeroshi was supposed to be . it's an abandoned creative vision now (( unfortunately ... )) but i wanted to bring it back just for a moment as a tribute !!

i really hope u guys like this as much as i do . this is my first fully structured layout that im posting on youtube ... so i'd really appreciate some feedback !!

okey ... sankyu !! and of course , please enjoy !!

(( ** maybe one day i'll post eternal , or amaten , or the " official " darling sequel , but those are projects i want to keep to myself a little more ))
