Alacrit is a level created by ol666 and Mecha as a part of the RhythmTech: Defiance of Destruction level series. This level features the boss Colatric, who is formed when Deadlock puts a Parasitic Clamp onto N.O.W.O..

Layout

Opening

The level opens with N.O.W.O. floating in the center of the screen, with lasers coming from it. Deadlock appears from the top of the screen, beginning the transformation process. Bullets come from the bottom of the screen while the now white Nowo pulses and changes. After this section, it begins to drift across the screen while horizontal lasers appear, with a giant pulse across half the screen happening once. The square goes to the center of the screen and grows its outline, pulsing brighter and brighter as more laser attacks appear coming from it. The outline zooms back in, the pulsing pauses, and Colatric’s transformation is completed, beginning the main boss fight.

Checkpoint 1

Colatric begins to attack. It attacks by slamming the edges of the screen, pulsing, sending out bullets, and shooting lasers of both small and large sizes. Its attack patterns in this part are fast, but can be avoided.

Checkpoint 2

Colatric’s “shell” cracks and separates, but slams back together. Bullets begin to rise from the bottom of the screen as Colatric pulses more. Eventually, Nowo’s distressed face becomes visible instead of Colatric’s. It begins to bounce around the screen and slam walls for attacks.

Checkpoint 3

This section is a callback to Nowo’s debut level Opia. Four spotlights descend from the top of the screen as pulse attacks, while Colatric moves around the screen, sending out bullets and slamming the sides with its square outline.

Checkpoint 4

Another callback to Opia. Colatric’s face turns into a diamond pattern made with four arrows. It shoots fast arrow bulets from the left and right sides, while the screen scrolls, and circle pulses appear. After this, Colatric returns to the center, forming four walls that spin with it. It sends out lines that need to be dashed through, pulses, sends out a multitude of lasers and bullets, then moves to the right of the screen.

Checkpoint 5

A scrolling gameplay segment. Colatric will chomp and send out bullets from the left side of the screen as you move to the right. Occasionally lasers will appear from equalizer-like walls on the top and bottom of the screen.

Checkpoint 6

This is a repeat of the first checkpoint’s gameplay. The level ends with Colatric exploding, with Nowo being released along with another individual. The outline for Colatric shatters. Shortly afterwards, the outline glows red and floats into the air, with the words “4 left” appearing in red on the screen.
