Crystallize (Ultraorange)
A sequel to Ritual...?
thank you. :)
Crystallize is a Moderate difficulty level created by ultraorange. Seemingly a sequel to his previous level Ritual, the level features a variety of different themes and a short encounter with The Prism - a multicolored triangle mini-boss.
Layout
Start
The level transitions in with colorful bars, and some text saying the level and song creator.
Checkpoint 1
In a flash, large rectangles begin moving across the screen from the right that cover half of the screen. As they move, horizontal lasers appear in pairs. These obstacles dissapear into a black screen before walls appear on the top and bottom. Thin rectangles move across from the right to the left that must be dashed through as the level takes on a brighter-colored theme.
The screen suddenly changes to a green background, as small walls close in from the left and right. Black bars appear from the top of the screen. As the background turns black, square bullets rain from the top as walls move in from the left and right further.
Checkpoint 2
A purple mountain background appears as bullets begin to drift across from the right. These are accompanied with pulses of squares in a + shape. Midway through the checkpoint, snakes of triangles move quickly in curves that start and end on the edges of the screen.
Checkpoint 3
The screen briefly changes to black as a single liine of text appears. A background made of several circles that create a perspective effect appears next, with white triangle bullets moving vertically. This is followed with a section using three different-colored segments - with attacks changing in appearance as they travel through each. This part features large diagonal lasers and slow-moving larger bullets. As the next checkpoint approaches, a single white triangle replaces the background for a moment.
Checkpoint 4
A set of four arrow warnings appears in the center. A single triangle grows into view, sending out many multicolored bullets as it does. In a flash, text labeling it “The Prism” appears as it begins to attack. It first moves to the right of the screen and sweeps across the bottom with a massive laser. This is followed with a few bullet explosions before it dashes across the top of the screen. Returning to the center, The Prism then creates a three-laser spinner attack from its tips. It continues to send out bullet explosions as it sweeps across the left and right with lasers, before ascending offscreen.
Checkpoint 5
The screen changes to have a white background, with orange and blue arrow bullets moving diagonally. This is followed with the screen “pausing” as credits appear with static effects. The level finishes with the background going dark as text thanking the player shows up.

Trivia
- In the third checkpoint section with three colors, the word “MONKEY” can be seen in one of the lasers.
