Opening

The level opens with text saying “NOT BLACK HEART (but you already knew that)”, with a Black Heart logo in the center. A crosshair appears over the black heart and it is shot, moving it out of the way and beginning the level. The first section of the level has several laser cannons appear from both the top and bottom of the screen. Bond will eventually make his entrance, and give a short monologue before pulling out dual guns to shoot the player with.

Checkpoint 1

This part of the level has several smaller bond-shaped minions shooting small waves of bullets from both screens, while Bond himself teleports around and fires at will. He will occasionally teleport to the center of the screen to shoot out entire bullet rings made of bullets.

Checkpoint 2

Bond pulls out his minigun and the screen begins to scroll to the left. There are occasional lasers that will accompany the bullets he fires at you here. This section ends with Bond attempting to ram into the player, yet he is stopped by a green force field.

Checkpoint 3

The character that saved you with the barrier is revealed to be Field. He stops by to say some things and offers more protection. However, his shield isn’t up to par with Bond’s bullets, and he is shot dead. Bond then comes back onscreen, readying his blunderbuss.

Checkpoint 4

Bond begins to move around the screen and fire giant blunderbuss shots. The minions from earlier make an appearance as well. This section ends with a giant laser in the center that disappears to reveal Bond behind it.

Checkpoint 5

Bond rises up to the top of the screen and summons two miniguns, one on each side. Both of these fire tons of bullets, with an occasional rocket firing too. Bond will send out an expanding circle followed by movements across the screen and bullet rings.

Checkpoint 6

This is the final and hardest phase of the fight against Bond. The screen scrolls to the right with walls on the top and bottom. Bond shoots at you from the left, using many of his attacks including the missiles, dual guns, and blunderbuss. On top of this, there are several lasers that make moving forward complicated. The section finishes with a giant blunderbuss shot and the camera moving faster to the right as an exit opens, with Hal escaping safely.

Checkpoint 7

This is just story stuff - no gameplay here. DXL makes an appearance.

Trivia

  • Bond’s double machine gun attack is a reference to ol666’s original Peer Gynt, specifically the part where Myst summons two skull-shaped cannons, one on each side of him. The same can be said for his expanding circle attack in the same area.
  • This is currently the most popular out of DXL44's levels, with the most views on a YouTube video and most subscribers on the Steam Workshop. It's also his first level to reach the front-page of the workshop.
  • At the end of the level, when credits open, DXL says 'what these words mean?'
