Forsaken City is a remake of the first chapter of Celeste, Forsaken City. with the theming and mechanics being remade in GD. (like the zipper platforms with momentum mechanics, the deco, and also the ending being a heart + a memorial) it seemed like you weren't really sure, but yeah it was intentional
Your list is very weird xddd, i would never have expected wild west and dear nostalgist. My top 1 level is "beyond everything", it's a true work of art, and if you never played it, it would probably join your list of easy demon favs.
PXTTXRN SXXKXR is my fourth favorite and CUT DEEP Is my first I really really like them. Though, my third and second favorites are Aeonair Space Battle and Emptiness (by JustJrockGMD) respectively. ASB is super fun and a great way of making a boss fight, along with being funny and a great take on a retro theme. Emptiness has nothing too special with the deco (I will admit, while there are some very cool effects, it’s kinda just like a glorified glow level, but thats not a bad thing), but the gameplay is some of the most fun gameplay I’ve ever played in this game, period. You should check out these levels imo and I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
I don't agree with this list that much, but then again i don't like that many easy demons to make a top 10 out of. Impressed you could do that! I'm just surprised no DHaner levels were on here, as they're some of the best easy demons i've played (Hold On is my favorite level i've beaten).
Hello, NothingIsScary, i have a question that’s not related to this topic, but it’s kinda important… Do you want to have a part in my upcoming Medium Demon?
many feel absolutely nothing for astralith, and i, being in those many. bring up 2 points, 1: could be the case with nothingisscary too, and the fact it could have not been rated before this video was being made
5:35 the use of the phrase "list worthy" in a gd context that DOESNT mean the demon list is so jarring lol (also cut deep is so sick and im proud to be on the leaderboard lol)
i havent even watched the video yet, but i already know these opinions will be B A S E D edit: tbh cut deep is my favorite easy demon and i loved watching the building process
pre dear nostalgists: 😀 post dear nostalgists: ☹ in conclusion: dear nostalgists is the cure to happiness and is also made to be bad also forsaken city is a remake of a celeste level
TriAxis failed in making Dear Nostalgists bad, it has insanely fun gameplay and one bug won't change that. All of the other bugs might as well be unintentional timings or just not there.
"I feel like it would be lame if this list was filled with 3 levels everyone likes and plays" Honestly, you did kinda do that. Almost every single one of these levels is extremely popular and gets a slightly ludicrous amount of attention from the community, and even those that aren't idolized to shit are still quite popular. This isn't necessarily a criticism, it's more just a request for you to maybe play more unknown levels and see how you like them. This community is almost completely centered around a few extremely well known levels, and it just kinda ignores the masterpieces sitting quietly in the corner, which imo is a little sad. Otherwise, great video! Good to see you've recovered enough from what happened to make a video this high quality. Hope things continue to go well! P.S. this is going to sound pedantic but this community is already annoying enough about some levels being objectively better than others when that's just not a thing, soooooo your favorite easy demons and the best easy demons aren't the same. i'm assuming you already knew that, but given how you used them kinda interchangeably in the video some random kid is probably gonna take your opinion as an objective fact. help i am so tired and i wrote so much wtf
I have no idea why Deadlocked took me as long as it did in 7K attempts then which is somehow more than my attempts of Clubstep and TOE II combined back in the days of 2019. (Is Tier 5 that big of a jump from Tier 3?)
(Was it wrong of me to call VeritY a high-tier Easy Demon and Deadlocked a low-tier Medium, especially due to how long it took to beat/how many attempts?)
You’ve said to add your own list, and before watching this I made my own anyway, so here it is. I plan to do this with the entire series because I like making stupid lists like these. I will also try to limit these lists to levels I’ve beaten. I might not do this for Extremes, since while I have beaten ten, there is no fucking chance I’m putting HyperSonic on the list. (The worst level on the servers by far) 10. Erou - JonathanGD One thing you’ll see with my lists is that I am very prone to bias. I’m not trying to convince you that these levels are objectively the best in the game. I understand that some people don’t like JonathanGD’s gameplay, but for whatever reason Jonathan is one of my favorite creators in this game, so most of my future lists will have Jonathan levels in them. Anyway, one thing I’ve noticed with Easy Demons is a lot of them seem like buffed generic six stars, and don’t have stimulating gameplay. However, even when replaying this level for this list. I was having a fuck ton of fun, which is really rare for a level well below my skill level. It is really unique gameplay wise while still being very balanced and fun. It has an infamous JonathanGD dual, but it is made in a way for it to be really sight readable. I actually sight read this in two attempts in practice mode before writing this, only dying while trying to do something stupid at the first wave part. The effects also look great, and flow really well with the gameplay. 9. Sky Tower - Rafer A lot of people aren’t huge fans of this level because it isn’t sight readable at all, but I personally love that type of gameplay, and you will see it regularly in my future lists. Learning it is pretty fun since the gameplay is satisfying and very climactic, and playing it from zero is fucking thrilling. Decoration wise, it is the pinnacle of Rafer’s style. Also, I agree that Rafer’s coins are stupid, but I just know to never attempt the coins in Rafer’s levels, and they don’t impact my enjoyment at all. 8. Death Moon - “Caustic” This is the best 1.9 level. I am not judging these levels based on when they came out. I honestly think this is the eighth best Easy Demon in the game even by today’s standards. The decoration is very detailed while remaining more polished than any level on the servers until like 2019. The gameplay is also very enjoyable. This is one of the few levels that actually gave me chills while playing it. 7. And Ever - Galofuf This level looks really fucking good. In my opinion, it looks better than Astralith, which is the second mythic rated level in the game. I’m going to be comparing the two levels a lot since they’re both very high quality Easy Demons with similar theming and decoration style. This means I will be criticizing Astralith, so I will clarify that I think Astralith is a fantastic level, just that it is beaten by And Ever, which is significant since Astralith is mythic rated. While having what is slightly better decoration in my opinion, And Ever also has a lot more thought put into the gameplay. Gameplay seems to be much less of a priority than decoration in Astralith, while And Ever excels in both gameplay and decoration. The gameplay is especially good at the drop, which is really intense for an Easy Demon. 6. Xanadu - Mangosteen Like And Ever, this level looks fucking beautiful. The realistic bright artistic style that And Ever and Xanadu uses is probably my favorite style of decoration. The gameplay is very unsightreadable, but is very fun once you learn it. Again, I really like learny gameplay, and I understand if some people don’t like it as much. Overall, China fucking blew it out of the water here. 5. Change of Scene - Bli This is probably the most predictable level on this list. Bli’s style is one of the best in the game. Again it kind of fits with the realistic artsy style I mentioned with Xanadu. Change of Scene is definitely Bli’s best work. The gameplay is also really good and thought out. This goes for a lot of levels on this list, but it feels like you’re playing a much harder level. My favorite part is probably where it alternates between Robot and Wave. This part specifically really matches the intensity of the song, and was a fucking blast to play. 4. Xin Chao - Magpipe Once again, this level has a similar artsy style to Xanadu and Change of Scene, but also has some modern parts that are reminiscent of more recent Xender Game levels. (Foreshadowing?) This level is really fun to play, and the song propels this level into masterpiece status. This will be much more apparent in future demon difficulties, but if I like a level’s song, it’s probably on the list. 3. Dream Flower - Xender Game This level is almost the pinnacle of the Modern Style, being fucking beautiful to look at. Like Xin Chao, it also plays really well and has a spectacular song. A lot of the levels higher on the list do a really good job at capturing emotion while playing fucking Geometry Dash, and this level is a very good example of that. 2. Sinless Ash - Whirl Like Erou, this level is placed this high solely because of bias towards the Terraria Calamity Mod. This will be a regular theme of the levels in future lists. Even with my bias in mind, this level is spectacular. The decoration has a really high attention to detail and faithfulness to Terraria and Calamity, and it plays exceptionally well. The song is obviously spectacular. The best thing about the Calamity Mod is its OST, and if you haven’t listened to it yet I highly recommend it. Knowing how Providence works, the boss this level is based on, the split path is actually done really well compared to most other levels in the Discord and Split Gauntlets. (Changing the time of day or season) The boss can be fought in either the Hallowed biome or the Underworld, which are the two paths in this level. The paths are of the same quality, and even have very slightly different gameplay. 1. White Space - Xender Game This level is a god damn rollercoaster. The decoration and gameplay is very high quality and the theming and progression is essentially unmatched by most other levels this game has to offer. Like Dream Flower, this level is very emotional, and every attempt is fucking beautiful. This level works well as an Easy Demon since if it was a bit more difficult the mastery of this fucking level would get repetitive. This level does what a lot of previous levels on this list did but a bit better, pushing this to the top spot.
very surprised absolute garbage by bli did not make the list. Its got all the same features that make change of scene loved and with much better gameplay that syncs so well its probably my favourite easy demon from bli
I'm so glad you rated Change of Scene as only No.9. I feel like it's amongst the most overrated levels in GD history, and while it is really awesome, I still believe that it got way too much hype for its own good. I mean, winning the awards for best Easy Demon of 2024? _sure,_ I agree with that, but winning *THE BEST LEVEL IN GD HISTORY?!* That's just silly. Every good or well-optimized level I see is bound to have a comment that reads _oOooO ChAnGE oF ScEnE 2?!1?!?1?/1_ And it is really annoying. Aside that, the level definitely does have a lot of flaws, you correctly pointed out that the pacing of the gameplay is subpar (The beginning slaps, but it gets dragged down after the Movies section) and the ending part with the delayed asymmetric dual gimick is really clunky and forced, not to mention a chokepoint. The decoration, whilst insanely impressive in how optimized it is, really falls apart once you take a moment to look at what's going on in individual objects. The backgrounds and boss sprites are janky, some of the ending parts look rushed (Which they probably were to meet the deadline) and so on. The love this level got is definitely not undeserved, but it does have quite a lot of flaws going against it, that prevent it from being ''the perfect level'' absolutely everbody makes it up to be. Also, my 10 favourite easy demons in no particular order if anybody cares: Crush by Subwoofer White Space by Xender Game Glorious Fortress by Jamattack Crazy Bolt by Funnygame Destroy Me by Maxyland Death Moon by Caustic Caput Mundi by RoyalP Oxidize by The Goola Velocity by Horneet Astralith by Geogamer 12 (Newly released level)
Opinions on the levels on the list that I beat 9. Yeah, amazing level. The details are great, and it's insanely well optimized considering its length, its gimmick, and its deco. The gameplay, while not being the most extraordinary, is very fair and sightreadable, but I did get pretty pissed while trying to beat it because I got really unlucky. 7. I pretty much agree. It's hard to say any more about a level where gameplay is its main appeal. I also only really experienced the one major bug a single time when I tried to beat it. 6. Banger choice. Really fun level with a cool gimmick. Also, I had no idea about the hitbox easter egg, so this is making me love the level so much more. 3. what 2. I feel a bit guilty that I like this level as much as I do because it's one of the only levels that can kill an infant child. But I don't know what to say, the insane fucking flashes work in a way that they do in no other level. Even the parts like the spider with the most random and incoherent color pallete look so good, and it is also really fun. This is the only level in my top 5 favorite demons on this list (Which is fair because my top 5 is not very good objectively) HM 1,2,3: Eh Ok now please put Grand Arena Showdown in top 10 hard demons
This list is so valid, the only levels that I don't love in this are Wild West and Ultra Paracosm, the ones that I never beat. Cut deep is so so good, i just wish i liked the dual gameplay more, especially since it was laggy for me, i got a few deaths i would call unfair. All hail Crush and Pxttxrn Sxxkxr baby
I mostly think your list is respectable, I can see your points and get where you’re coming from, however I would have put “glorious fortress” by jamattack on my list
Let's go. CUT DEEP is my favorite easy demon, too. I already liked RAZORBLADE, but AudieoVisual really popped off on the sequel. I'd recommend S0NJ (written with a zero) by vonsse and Thauma by Faun to you, if you haven't tried them. Their both pretty flashy and look really cool, in my opinion. Be aware, that the gameplay takes a bit of getting used to though, espacially the end of S0NJ.
yeah the list is very based, however i wouldnt put Cut Deep at #1, bc i rlly dont like the song and it makes you annoyed when you listen to it (i beat the level without the song) but its definitely in the list
razorblade by av is definitely one or the worst levels ive ever played to the point that my eyeballs popped out of their socket when i saw it, i know its just your opinion, but ispy is still way better than *that*
Here are my top 10 favorite easy demons (my opinion): 10: TRANSCENDENCE BEYOND (8.2/10) My favorite tier 1 demon, but it does have some jank parts. 9: Cydonia (8.3/10) I love the theming and the boss fight, just wish it was a bit more balanced. 8: CUT DEEP (8.3/10) At least one of my top 10s. I can see this level being as good for your perspective, but I do give my criticism of the balancing. Still my top 10 tho. :) 7: Change of Scene (8.5/10) Amazing theming, deco, and gameplay, but I am a coin person, the coins are challenging though. 6: STRANGE BOXES (8.6/10) Simplicity is on point and I really like the coin and neat gameplay. 5: Monolithos (8.8/10) I'm not usually a fan of Jonathan's levels, but this one hits. I love the alternative routes and amazing deco. 4: iSpyWithMyLittleEye (9/10) I like this one better than CUT DEEP, but that's just me. I do love the theming and execution on this level. 3: Dream Flower (9/10) Immaculate deco, and an amazing collab duo. Really loved this one. 2: White Space (9.3/10) While I think the gameplay isn't too bad, it still drove me into how amazing the deco is and how it has a history behind it. 1: Tabasco (9.9/10) I don't give 10s. No questions asked. I love how simple it is and how amazing the gameplay is. Talia really knocked it out of the park with this one. :D
AND HOW THE HELL DID I FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE A LONG LONG TIME AGO. I have a habit of really loving a RUclipsr but still not be subscribed because I forget. 😂❤
I can see how a lot of people enjoy ispy, and visually it looks very good. But often times i fins the gameplay boring and not fun and sometimes e.g. the 30% spider the flashing really affects the gameplay.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who likes Dear Nostalgists. It was frustrating at first but once you start learning how to deal with the bugs it becomes a very fun level and was probably one of the most fun Easy Demons I've played so far, even though my hardest at the time I beat that level was only Problematic by Dhafin.
I love dear nostalgists gameplay, deadass the best ive ever played. I personally think Erou deserved a mention. I beat it as my first demon, and I have zero regrets. Cool theming, good gameplay. anyways good video

Forsaken City is a remake of the first chapter of Celeste, Forsaken City. with the theming and mechanics being remade in GD. (like the zipper platforms with momentum mechanics, the deco, and also the ending being a heart + a memorial)

Yes please, I'm missing your levels :(
Yeah but don't burn yourself out
@@memesong21 that is so true.
For me, the best easy demon is either Death moon, Absolute Garbage, change of scene or White space.
Your list is very weird xddd, i would never have expected wild west and dear nostalgist. My top 1 level is "beyond everything", it's a true work of art, and if you never played it, it would probably join your list of easy demon favs.
Absolutely amazing level, completely adore it. 10/10
Beat that one this morning, it’s a really beautiful level that’s also really fun
i love sarcasm and satire (13:28)

PXTTXRN SXXKXR is my fourth favorite and CUT DEEP Is my first I really really like them. Though, my third and second favorites are Aeonair Space Battle and Emptiness (by JustJrockGMD) respectively.

What about white space??
Dream flower is better anyway :p

Aside that, the level definitely does have a lot of flaws, you correctly pointed out that the pacing of the gameplay is subpar (The beginning slaps, but it gets dragged down after the Movies section) and the ending part with the delayed asymmetric dual gimick is really clunky and forced, not to mention a chokepoint. The decoration, whilst insanely impressive in how optimized it is, really falls apart once you take a moment to look at what's going on in individual objects. The backgrounds and boss sprites are janky, some of the ending parts look rushed (Which they probably were to meet the deadline) and so on. The love this level got is definitely not undeserved, but it does have quite a lot of flaws going against it, that prevent it from being ''the perfect level'' absolutely everbody makes it up to be.
Also, my 10 favourite easy demons in no particular order if anybody cares:
Crush by Subwoofer
White Space by Xender Game
Glorious Fortress by Jamattack
Crazy Bolt by Funnygame
Destroy Me by Maxyland
Death Moon by Caustic
Caput Mundi by RoyalP
Oxidize by The Goola
Velocity by Horneet
Astralith by Geogamer 12 (Newly released level)
some of your choices are a little silly but CUT DEEP is a hella based fuckin top pick my fav 2.2 easy demon (not overall for me but still a banger)
10 I really like are:
Demon Park
Ispywithmylittleeye
Xstep v2
Lights and Thunder
Toe v2
Shiver
Impulse
Platinum Adventure
Death Moon
Change of Scene
Opinions on the levels on the list that I beat
9. Yeah, amazing level. The details are great, and it's insanely well optimized considering its length, its gimmick, and its deco. The gameplay, while not being the most extraordinary, is very fair and sightreadable, but I did get pretty pissed while trying to beat it because I got really unlucky.
7. I pretty much agree. It's hard to say any more about a level where gameplay is its main appeal. I also only really experienced the one major bug a single time when I tried to beat it.
6. Banger choice. Really fun level with a cool gimmick. Also, I had no idea about the hitbox easter egg, so this is making me love the level so much more.
3. what
2. I feel a bit guilty that I like this level as much as I do because it's one of the only levels that can kill an infant child. But I don't know what to say, the insane fucking flashes work in a way that they do in no other level. Even the parts like the spider with the most random and incoherent color pallete look so good, and it is also really fun. This is the only level in my top 5 favorite demons on this list (Which is fair because my top 5 is not very good objectively)
HM 1,2,3: Eh
Ok now please put Grand Arena Showdown in top 10 hard demons
This list is so valid, the only levels that I don't love in this are Wild West and Ultra Paracosm, the ones that I never beat. Cut deep is so so good, i just wish i liked the dual gameplay more, especially since it was laggy for me, i got a few deaths i would call unfair.
All hail Crush and Pxttxrn Sxxkxr baby
I mostly think your list is respectable, I can see your points and get where you’re coming from, however I would have put “glorious fortress” by jamattack on my list
Death moon left the chat 💀
Let's go. CUT DEEP is my favorite easy demon, too. I already liked RAZORBLADE, but AudieoVisual really popped off on the sequel.
I'd recommend S0NJ (written with a zero) by vonsse and Thauma by Faun to you, if you haven't tried them. Their both pretty flashy and look really cool, in my opinion. Be aware, that the gameplay takes a bit of getting used to though, espacially the end of S0NJ.
17:52 now i can say i jumped from an easy to extreme demon definitively
Aww... I was hoping white space would be here- its so powerful
I love 69 machine it's my favourite easy demon, that with Shiver, I love Shiver... so good
13:43 the goat pick
yeah the list is very based, however i wouldnt put Cut Deep at #1, bc i rlly dont like the song and it makes you annoyed when you listen to it (i beat the level without the song) but its definitely in the list
I've had 98 on Wild West for 6 years now. My current hardest is Erebus...
razorblade by av is definitely one or the worst levels ive ever played to the point that my eyeballs popped out of their socket when i saw it, i know its just your opinion, but ispy is still way better than *that*
Before you make your medium demon video i highly recommend you seeing iridescent glee , it's my favorite medium demon and i'm sure you will like it
honestly White Space is my #1, I don't think any level really comes close to it imma be honest
1:29 so it’s that easy to jump over, I’ve been doing it without the block oh my god
Forsaken city: taking it's main mechanic and name from celeste
Him:it kind of reminds mo of celeste
i love you
not rizz
GG AUDIEO LOL
Agreed!
nothingisscary is the type of guy to put dear nostalgists on the list instead of death moon 😂

Here are my top 10 favorite easy demons (my opinion):
10: TRANSCENDENCE BEYOND
(8.2/10)
My favorite tier 1 demon, but it does have some jank parts.
9: Cydonia
(8.3/10)
I love the theming and the boss fight, just wish it was a bit more balanced.
8: CUT DEEP
(8.3/10)
At least one of my top 10s. I can see this level being as good for your perspective, but I do give my criticism of the balancing. Still my top 10 tho. :)
7: Change of Scene
(8.5/10)
Amazing theming, deco, and gameplay, but I am a coin person, the coins are challenging though.
6: STRANGE BOXES
(8.6/10)
Simplicity is on point and I really like the coin and neat gameplay.
5: Monolithos
(8.8/10)
I'm not usually a fan of Jonathan's levels, but this one hits. I love the alternative routes and amazing deco.
4: iSpyWithMyLittleEye
(9/10)
I like this one better than CUT DEEP, but that's just me. I do love the theming and execution on this level.
3: Dream Flower
(9/10)
Immaculate deco, and an amazing collab duo. Really loved this one.
2: White Space
(9.3/10)
While I think the gameplay isn't too bad, it still drove me into how amazing the deco is and how it has a history behind it.
1: Tabasco
(9.9/10) I don't give 10s.
No questions asked. I love how simple it is and how amazing the gameplay is. Talia really knocked it out of the park with this one. :D
Under a minute ago les a go
You forgot cherry blossom silly!
i think ive said this before but once i learned what i was doing in cut deep, it was SUPER fun to play, definitely a good #1 pick imo
Bro is speaking facts and nothing else. Love this video. ❤
AND HOW THE HELL DID I FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE A LONG LONG TIME AGO. I have a habit of really loving a RUclipsr but still not be subscribed because I forget. 😂❤
I can see how a lot of people enjoy ispy, and visually it looks very good. But often times i fins the gameplay boring and not fun and sometimes e.g. the 30% spider the flashing really affects the gameplay.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who likes Dear Nostalgists. It was frustrating at first but once you start learning how to deal with the bugs it becomes a very fun level and was probably one of the most fun Easy Demons I've played so far, even though my hardest at the time I beat that level was only Problematic by Dhafin.
surpised that still life isnt #1
hello? white space?
espionage is also sick
Hello I'm white space 🥸
Eacker hacker v2?
Very not scary
Quality content 👌
I love dear nostalgists gameplay, deadass the best ive ever played. I personally think Erou deserved a mention. I beat it as my first demon, and I have zero regrets. Cool theming, good gameplay. anyways good video
man
tidal wave is good
How dare you forget Glorious Fortress, Diep, Prism Peak, Born Survivor and Miss You.
Ngl my list would be full of pre 2.0 levels. Those levels have charm for some reason.
This list is fair, and I agree with most of the levels you put on this list! Can't wait for the Medium Demon version
Bro is allergic to good takes 😭😭😭
What's your top 10 then
I personally think afterlife had the best execution of the two routes since it has different gp and like a different theme imo
I'm surprised Born Survivor, but great video!
nah
where is white space ?
In the basement where all the levels that don't run well live
White space???
Probably not here because it runs bad
You forgot draft theory, great video though!
Some Great choices in here :)
