A little late this time but I did get around to it. Welcome back to Which is Better, where this week I'll be focusing on the topic of Hinds demons. In my opinion, Hinds is one of the best creators in the game, with his unique gameplay and original style, it inspires many people in the community. And with that, I've come to ask which of his demons are the best.

As someone who played a lot of Hinds levels I'm gonna describe every demon in a few sentences:
Breakthrough - decent level, however I'm not the biggest fan of the memory, but that's a typical thing with 1.9 levels for me. It's decently challenging and a good solid hard demon.
9Step - meh level, just a much harder and more annoying version of Clubstep. Tougher than most hard demons, on the edge of insane demon.
Resurrection - really fun level in general. It didn't age as well as some of his demons, but it's a good demon if someone wants to get better at medium demons. It's like a perfect medium demon IMO.
Dance Massacre - pretty fun level, especially for early 2.0. I love the drop in it, it's well synced and satisfying to pull off. Last ship is kind of rough, but thankfully I died to it only once. A lower-end hard demon IMO.
Firewall - a pretty bipolar level. The second half is really good and super fun, however the first half has a difficult ball part, rough cube timings and a wave I could never get consistent at. It's a bit on the unbalanced side. I'd say it's a lower-mid insane demon.
9Theory - pretty dumb level. Most of it is not too bad, but oh my god the UFO spam is awful. It's so much harder than the rest of the level and not fun at all. It's like a high-end hard or low-end insane demon.
Night Terrors - this is one of these levels that are carried by tight ship parts. If not that, the level would be like a medium-hard demon tbh. It's probably not too bad on 144hz+ but on 60hz it's a low-end insane demon.
Psychosis - one of the better Hinds demons. A good challenge for people who want a solid hard demon. Consistent difficulty and it requires some good wave/ship/ball skills. The slow part is super stressful though, and the final cube is very chokeable. Still it's a really good level.
Taken - very weird level. The gameplay is really awkward and that was probably the main reason why I didn't like it very much. Reminds me of what I didn't like in old levels. Difficulty-wise it's around Dance Massacre or slightly easier.
Cyber Chaos - I love the theme of this level, I always liked neon/cybernetic-esque levels, and this one is no exception. Not sure if I'm the biggest fan of the gameplay, some parts seem a bit rough on timings. It's a very solid insane demon.
Spectrum Switch - probably my favorite Hinds level. It looks nice, has balanced gameplay and it looks quite nice. The only part that sticks out a bit in terms of difficulty is the UFO before the drop, but apart from that it's very fun and balanced. Slightly harder than Dance Massacre, but easier than Psychosis.
Diffuse - I really like this level except for the mini cube at around 60%. It was very tight and tough to get consistent at. Because of it, the level really sits on the edge between hard and insane demon. I think its difficulty is a little underrated.
Pixel Thingy - not too bad for a minimalistic level, although I don't like white backgrounds, they hurt my eyes. Difficulty-wise it's probably similar to Psychosis or slightly harder. Gameplay is fun except for the last memory cube.

Diffuse is pretty cool. Nice colors and fun gameplay. The end is a bit weird though.

i played almost all of his levels on practice, and the one i found the best is really psychosis, not gonna say that much becasue only practice, but the gameplay seemed to be good and the visuals are one of my all time favourites. (i actually prefer Diffuse visuals but found the level weird on a design standpoint)
