Against the God is a 2.1 MediumDemon level created and published by 1374 and verified by Mulpan. The level is heaven-themed and is famous for its boss fights, especially the one toward the end of the level. Many people consider this level one of the best levels for its time.
Gameplay[]
At the start of the level, a glow effect comes on-screen with something at the bottom saying "1374." There is also 1374's logo above it. Then, the title of the level shows up briefly, and the player gets launched into the level. The gameplay is normal, and the theme of this part is heaven-like. A ship part is after this, with some modest gameplay once again. After this is a robot section with a blue theme and a resemblance to a tiny city in the background, containing a glowing spiral in the sky. Moving on, the player comes into a ball section with a slight mountain theme.
After this, the player goes into a brief ship section, which sends them into a block section. Then, another brief ship section. Next, the gameplay is slow-paced, and it looks like a silhouette of a man is in the background, slowly walking. After a few ball and ship sections, the background goes closer to the man's face as the song goes slower. Then, there is silence as the first god forms in this transition.
The first boss fight starts. The player is on the left as a ship, and the bottom left says "Player" with one heart below it. The right side shows "Mandara The Guardian" with three hearts. Mandara is a gold, spiked circle with a few cannons on the end of her, and an eye in the middle. She moves around on the screen a lot, so the player must avoid her when she does this. Eventually, once the player gets past her, they move on to a robot section with another heaven theme. The gameplay is simple but fast-paced, once again. The game modes switch between each other.
The style of the song has now completely changed, more like a dark hell theme. The level is now very slow-paced, and the player is currently in what looks like a cave. Eventually, they come across a wave part where a sign says "Slideable" and arrows are pointing to the glow above and below it. After this wave section, there is more silence. Then, it looks like a dragon is trying to eat some wings floating on a cube. Then, the second boss fight starts. This time, on the right side, there is a dragon named "Goldwing the Divine Dragon" with once again three hearts. Goldwing breathes out glowing beams, and she can wack glow pieces into the player's ship to kill them. She can also stick her face into the player. After the first half of the boss fight, a sign above her says, "Very Well..." then the second half starts, which is a more intense part of the battle. There are now more random glow pieces flying every which way and semi-circles popping up and shooting lasers.
After the boss fight, the title of the level comes up again, and the level ends.
User coins[]
Against the God has three user coins.
- During the boss fight against Mandara the Guardian, the player must hit two green glowing objects. The first is collected at 42% by flying down instead of up, which allows the player to enter a passage made from the moving spikes on the bottom. The second is collected at 45% by flying into it and quickly flying back up to evade the full-screen laser attacks. Collecting the green glowing objects defeats the boss and will give the player the coin as they transition out of the part.
- At 59%, a dash orb takes the player into the cave section. Instead of letting go after the moving gears, the player must hold into the cave. This will allow them to grab a blue skull before needing to let go of the dash orb. Next, the player must hit three torches in the cube part, which are at 60%, 61%, and 62%. The player must hit one more torch in the following ship part, located at 63%. If the player hits all the torches, they will grab the coin at 65%.
- The third coin is collected after defeating Goldwing in the final section. During the boss's second phase, Goldwing has two hit points, and the player can damage the boss by hitting glowing green objects. The first one is located at 89%, emerging from the bottom of the screen after Goldwing's fireball attack. The second one is located at 96% and appears in the middle of the screen after the final pinwheel attack. If the player hits both green objects, Goldwing's health will go down to zero, and the boss will say, "N O O O...", before giving the player the coin.
