Theory of SkriLLex is a 1.9 Medium Demon created, hack-verified, published by Noobas. It was created early in Update 1.9, with a design reminiscent of its namesake, the main level Theory of Everything 2. Its song was eventually removed by the Newgrounds moderation team due to copyright, and the level was unfeatured as a result. The level received praise for its music sync, design, and now-iconic wave segment, but criticism for its buggy gameplay. Despite this, Theory of SkriLLex remains immensely popular and is currently the most liked Medium Demon in the game.
Gameplay[]
The level starts with a fairly simple cube section that contains simple jumps. It also has some fakes, but they are easily noticed due to the X mark on those orbs, except for one, for which the one with the X is the correct one and the one without is fake. The section also involves invisible platforms on the ground, and they normally have spikes above them to force the player to time their jumps. Then the drop begins, marking the first moderately difficult section of the level. The cube is then thrown into a moderately hard UFO section, which, again, is similar to that of ToE 2, but harder due to tighter spaces, triple speed, and a few gravity portals.
The UFO eventually enters half speed and has a few gravity portals before entering the infamous double cube section. The player goes double speed, goes through a bunch of obstacles and fake orbs, then becomes a triple-speed mini cube dual, which many consider to have annoyingly difficult timing. The first dual is considered quite annoying because it uses a trick and forces the player to click in advance so they hit the orbs very early. Failing to do this will result in the player crashing at some point. After this dual, the cube goes to a half-speed cube that is moderately difficult but mostly just consists of fake lining and troll jump rings.
The next dual is quite difficult and is probably the hardest section of the level if the player is good at the wave. This section requires a lot of mashing and memorization of inputs. After the dual, the player has to catch themselves to stop mashing and get prepared for the next part of the level, a triple-speed wave. This cube is not as difficult as the dual but has a few bugs that can cause frustration for players learning the level. The next triple wave may be tied with the last cube dual as the hardest part in the level. This wave has a few awkward timings and gravity portal placements for some players, increasing the difficulty of the wave. The next part is double speed and dual with tight spaces, but is far easier than the first triple speed wave. This is followed by a triple speed mini-wave, which was previously considered the hardest part of the level. For some players that struggle with wave, it still is, but any player that has completed a moderately difficult Nine Circles level should not have a problem.
The next double speed ship sequence is quite easy and does not have many tricks to it, but the next half-speed mini UFO section is quite tricky, as there are many places that can catch the player unaware and cause them to crash near the end of the level. The last triple-speed ball should be done carefully and the orbs should be hit as soon as possible because timing them late normally results in a crash. The level ends with an auto cube section which consists of two jump pads.
Errors[]
- The last mini cube segment has a bug at the wave transition that can cause the player to miss a blue pad, leading to their death as a mini-wave. It is possible for the player to save themselves, but it requires good timing and learning to catch themselves to avoid crashing into another wall.
- It is possible to crash at the last ball part if the player clicks too late at around 98%, where they will fling upwards towards invisible spikes.
Fails[]
- Nacho1998polan crashed at 97%.
- AniJumper47 crashed at 98%.
- AleXPain24 crashed at the anti-gravity wave section.
- Remy202 crashed at 97%.
- Flovialon crashed at 98%.
Trivia[]
- The password for the level is 133737.
- The level contains 14,764 objects.
- The level is 1m 9s in length.
- This level is currently the most liked Medium Demon.
- Noobas actually never stated that this level was hack-verified, but it was made during the time that he was still a hacker, so many assume he hacked this level.
- Although in TheMuteTroll's exposing video, there are numerous incriminating evidence in Noobas' verification video, including the lack of pulse in the wave's trails, the lack of a level completion sound effect, and the lack of the music fade out which is toggled in the level.[1]
- If the player crashes at one point on the dual cube segment by accidentally hitting a blue orb, a touch triggered color is activated which says "LOL."
- This level was previously considered one of the hardest Demons in Geometry Dash during Update 1.9. However, it can now be classified as a Medium Demon, and, (to some very skilled players), an Easy Demon.
- The song is now unavailable to download due to copyright claim by Skrillex.
- There is a remake called Theory of FirePower with a different song.
- Part of this level is used in the level Ultimate Demon Mix, starting from the triple speed mini-cube part and ending at the mini-wave.
