Geometry Dash Demon Ladder - now available for public!

Nice. Even though im not really sure if magma bound would go on tier 15 or 16

I have considered the fact that difficulty is often subjective, and difficulty can be split into different components. The idea of the list is to average out the ratings to provide a more objective view of how the community view the difficulty of a level as a whole. I know that most people have a better time playing certain levels and have trouble performing certain tricks, so I am cautious when I decide on the number of tiers. My idea is even when the difficulty may vary, it is unlikely that the discrepancies cause a level to be significantly harder or lower, so tiers can be a good reference to players. Of course, it will be super hard to determine the exact difficulty of a certain level - somebody would have already created the rankings for demon difficulty already if it is the case. However, I would like to try my best to at least add more to the demon difficulty system in-game and provide a little more information to the players.

I have been thinking of how to implement the split of timing, memo, spam, and other categories into the spreadsheet. The consideration here is how to balance between clarity and 'information density'. My best plan so far is to add more spreadsheets, and let players vote on a single aspect in those added lists. This may give higher accuracy in determining a level's difficulty, but navigating between the lists is easily a nightmare, considering how crappy Google Spreadsheets are. (it's actually not the fault of Google Suite, but there needs to be something to blame)

For the matter of monitor refresh rate, I have implemented a simple feature of colouring players with high monitor refresh rate. If the player sees a ton of yellow (120Hz) or green (144Hz) at that row, they know that this level may be biased towards high monitor refresh rates. However, I do guess that we have quite a large chunk of players who still plays on 60Hz, so we can also obtain data for the general casual players. For the platform, I acknowledge that mobile do have difference from PC, but the difference seems to be mainly on latency and the thumb blocking the view, maybe? (if there are other difference making mobile less preferable tell me) Hardware capabilities like polling rate, latency, etc are often not as important, AFAIK. Though, if you have found levels that requires accuracy down to less than 100ms, where the latency can really matter, you can let me know.

Hope this helps clearing up the concept of creating this list. This list will be constantly moderated and maintained in order to make the list become better and more useful. Thanks for your opinion!

I really liked your initiative of making a catalog of all of then, a really respectable work, but, as the guy above said, there are some errors of divide by 0, these errors are making your work unacessible since many ratings are being occulted by the warn, so, i pledge to you for a solution for this problem, i really enjoyed and your efforts must receive the fair recognition they deserve.

oh, great tough, even better, just hope people dont use their voting power badly.

Great! Would you like me to add all of these into the spreadsheet? (including the ones in the previous thread)

I recently beat Achondrite by Stormfly and to me it felt like a 20: A high-end insane demon but just short of being worthy of extreme demon.
