Manic (DXL44)
My best level yet, made after 2 months of work and with a little help from my stream chat (and Gex). Thank you Dukemz for the amazing thumbnail!
Manic is a joke level created by DXL44. Labeled as part 1/1 of "Sans Ovytale", the level was made as a "collaboration" with DXL44's YouTube stream chat, which provided most if not all of the ideas for the level. It features several characters including Among Us square, Blue Sunrise, and the knights from Peer Gynt v2.
Layout
A "Not Black Heart" message appears, followed by Bobeel Cookiez shooting lasers. Ghosts from Peer Gunt appear and shoot bullets. Scott the Woz appears to kill Bobeel Cookiez and promptly leaves, followed by a reference to Nautilus by Official Dre. The letter "h" begins raining down. Among Us square appears at the bottom of the screen, followed by the knights from Peer Gynt v2.
Blue Sunrise then appears, asking the player if they want a "fortnite card". The card grows in the center of the screen, and Bond appears at the last second to take it. He gains a pair of shoes and starts moving randomly, before Field kills him and takes the shoes. Hyper DXL kills Field and takes the shoes as well, before the level's credits scene shows.

Trivia
- In the credits, Gex is thanked for crashing the game. While streaming the level's creation, an image of Gex was added to the level with an image-to-prefab tool - however, it proved to be too high quality and froze the editor.
- DXL44 has created a guide to subscribing to and playing the level on Steam, which jokingly claims the level was a boss-rush themed entry to the Shadows level contest that took five months longer than anticipated. This is a play on the level Mutant by ol666, which *was* a boss-rush entry for this contest that took longer than anticipated.
- The level thumbnail is intentionally misleading, meant to appear as if the level is Beastmode. It also features a small and incredibly faint image of Scott the Woz, visible just above DXL.
