“ | My New Hard Level!!! Probably my best solo level. This isn't that hard... I nerfed this to beat easily. Good Luck!!! | ” |
―WOOGI1411 |
Retention is a 2.0/2.1 solo Extreme Demon level created, verified and published by WOOGI1411. It is difficult due to tight sections, input spamming, mixed dual segments, tricky timings and confusing memory. In an evolution of the creator's signature style, the level uses unique block designs, decorations and shading. Retention was initially rated Insane Demon by the community but was eventually switched to Extreme Demon, placing at #11 on the original Demonlist. Retention received acclaim from players for its gameplay, design, sync and usage of 2.0 features, though with slight criticism for its bugs, with some considering it the best WOOGI1411 level.[1][2][3][4]
Gameplay[]
The level starts with a cube section that is heavily timing-based. The ball part following is similar. Next is another cube part, but this one requires some memory. Then, there is a tight ship part with several orbs. It turns into a UFO for a short time, then goes back into a ship part with similar difficulty. This part leads to a short wave spam, followed by an easy cube and a simple ball part. After that, there is a double-speed cube part with two quadruple-spike jumps. Then, there is a ball segment with one tricky timing. It has a moderately tight ship sequence afterwards, followed by a short ball and an easy cube section. Then, there is a relatively simple ball part, followed by a moderately tight ship part.
Afterwards, there is a tricky timing-based robot segment with many traps, followed by a short cube and another short robot segment. This segment leads to a very tricky cube part, leading to the drop. This part shows the text 'WOOGI1411' and 'RETENTION'. It starts with a robot/UFO dual, followed by a wave/ball dual. These dual segments are both challenging and require skill and timing. Next is some mini-wave spamming in a four-block space, followed by an auto cube section that leads into a timing-based robot/cube dual. The dual then turns into a robot/ball dual, which requires more timings.
Next is more mini-wave spamming, followed by an auto cube leading into a cube/ship dual. After the player passes this, they enter a tight mini-ship, followed by more mini-wave spamming. Then, an auto cube leads into a robot/ball dual. After passing this timing-based area, there is a very long cube part with many timings, tricks and traps. It shows the text 'Let's Do It!!!' with three half-speed double-spike jumps at the end of this section. Then, there is a very tight ship sequence. After that, there is cube/robot dual, which requires precise timing. Then, there is an auto cube with the text 'Yeah!' and a tricky timing ball segment, followed by a short UFO segment. Afterwards, a difficult cube section leads to the final ship sequence with the text 'GG'. Finally, the level ends.
