His most famous levels are the former Top 10 Extreme Demon Cold Sweat, which is a collaboration with Wulzy and Sminx, and his low object count Extreme Demon untitled unmastered. para's gameplay often features sloped structures with orb timings, unusual wave sections, and sections with movement effects used to slow or speed up gameplay without the use of in-game speed changers.
