Press Start is a level created by DXL44. It has two bosses, the Skull and DXL.

Description

My second level, and part 2 in my series, featuring TWO different bosses! Hope you enjoy it, and feedback on this is greatly appreciated since I’m still just starting out. :D

Also, yes that’s a GD reference.

Layout

Opening

The level opens with the [WHERE] text appearing in the center of the screen and spinning a bit and breaking up a bit, before going downwards and away. A circle appears in the center and sends out bullets as the song builds up to the first checkpoint.

Checkpoint 1

Bars will slide across the screen from the left and right, and must be dashed through. Occasionally a triangle will send out three laser blasts from the center. On top of this, some lasers and falling bullets will appear at times too.

Checkpoint 2

Two giant warnings will appear on the left and right, as two walls come in from the center. The screen will begin scrolling downwards with the triangle blasts and moving walls making a return. Once the scrolling stops, the screen quickly scrolls upwards and then has a few moving squares move out from the center.

Checkpoint 3

OH DAYUM!
- Skull, Press Start


This part is the bossfight against the Skull. It has a variety of unique attacks:

  • Slam - Slams into the edge of the screen and sends out a shockwave attack.
  • Side slide - Sends out sliding bars that need to be dashed through.
  • Square Shockwave - Sends out a square from the center that expands across the whole screen and then shrinks back in, which needs to be dashed through twice.
  • Laser - Uses a giant laser from its mouth.

At the end of the fight, the Skull will move offscreen upwards.

Checkpoint 4

This part is full of bullets and has occasional horizontal lasers. While its easier, the bullets are still pretty fast, so watch out.

Checkpoint 5

This part uses many of the attacks from the first checkpoint section, but mixes things up a bit:

  • Triangle blasts now spin while attacking.
  • There are now some wave obstacles on the bottom of the screen.
  • Slightly more bullets.

Checkpoint 6

This segment is essentially the same as the segment before, and begins with a giant laser in the center.

Checkpoint 7

This is the fight against DXL. His weapon, the Beam Dagger, will float onscreen, and then be covered by an orange square. As the square rapidly spins, the screen will zoom out and lasers will be sent from the center. The screen zooms back in, and DXL appears and starts his offense.

Bro this is FIRE!
- DXL, Press Start


He’ll open with a horizontal laser blast from the center, and then use the Beam Dagger to sweep across the top of the screen with a laser. Then he’ll slam into the ground, bounce back up, and use the laser across the bottom of the screen. Both DXL and the Dagger will fall down offscreen, and the screen begins rapidly scrolling upwards as walls close in. DXL will then reappear in the center and send out several lasers, and fall offscreen again.

After this, DXL will move across to slam into the right “wall” from the left, and uses a Dagger sweep from top to bottom, followed by a slam into the left. He’ll double in size and move through a few paths on the screen, and will leave the Beam Dagger behind in the center, where it will send out tons of bullets. Then DXL will slide around the edges of the screen, as the Beam Dagger sweeps across the left. To finish off, DXL will pull a laser from the Beam Dagger across the right, move back to the center, and slowly ascend as the screen fades to a blinding white light.

Checkpoint 8

This part is the last part of the level, and only features a few hexagon pulses. At the end of the level, the [WHERE?] text will return and spin slowly as the music slows down, followed by this text:

We’ll find out next.

Trivia

  • The skull boss is directly based off of the same boss that appears in the Press Start level in Geometry Dash Subzero.
  • The part after the Skull bossfight is a direct reference to Just Shapes and Beats.
