New Featured Levels and Level Editor Updates!

Version 2.5.0 is out now!

This update has a whopping 7 new levels in the Featured Levels section, plus some UI + Quality of Life improvements, and new features in the Level Editor!

Remember that every so often we find some really stellar community levels, get permission from the original song's artist and the level's creator, and add it to the game. You can find it by going to the Custom Level Select and then entering the "Featured" section.

[h2]New Featured Levels:[/h2]

LORELEI
Music by: Camellia
Level by: Jo Future, Irin, and Bingsu
"This level's music was commissioned for the final tie-breaker level in the ADOFAI World Cup! Camellia's music is noteworthy for its usage in some of the most difficult custom levels. This level starts out calm, but like a hurricane, it very quickly ramps up the intensity. Stay focused on the track, and you just might make it through the storm!

(Original level created by NexaLi, PLORALD, Hanwol, Asansis, Jo Future and Nephrolepis. While the original level was made to aim for the highest difficulty, this level was recreated to lower the difficulty. This level borrows some visual effects from the original level.)"

Endless.reality
Music by: Ash Astral
Level by: Rikri

"This level won 1st place for the ""Neo Cosmos Award"" in LOTY 2022! Rikri is known for making levels that are challenging, but addicting to play, and this one is no exception. With it's triple-planet based gameplay and creative usage of freeroam tiles, this level is an excellent showcase of everything the Neo Cosmos DLC has to offer!

Vigor Lines Yoked
Music by: Frums
Level by: Daming
"This level won 2nd place for the "Gimmick Award" in LOTY 2022! Daming's masterful use of filters gives this level a visual style unlike any other! The charting is beautiful and highlights Frums' tricky rhythms! It even has a cool gameplay gimmick to boot! Don't step on the noisy tiles!"

Jam With Pancake
Music by: Frums
Level by: Daming

"While Frums' characteristic style of music has an unmistakable flavor, they wanted to try something different for Jam with Pancake. What they cooked up is a song with a great jazz-like taste! Paired with Daming's delicious gameplay and great presentation, this level will leave you hungry for more!"

1, 2, 3, 4!
Music by: Cansol
Level by: Team BGA

"This is Team BGA's first collab level and it's so good that it won the ADOFAI Level of the Year Award in 2022! The team's hard work on this level's incredible visuals really paid off! But don't get distracted! This level's difficulty is a true test of skill!"

You and Me
Music by: しゃろう
Level by: IU and Pharah

"This level won 3rd place for the ""Best Relaxing Level Award"" in LOTY 2022! If you're feeling stressed, Sharou's lofi beats might just help you relax! This level's equally chill gameplay will keep the vibes flowing, and the cute visuals will bring a smile to your face!"

Can’t it be true
Music by: Zris
Level by: Lycklig

“Can't it be true was made for the long-running, community-driven rhythm game music competition: "THE BMS OF FIGHTERS". The visuals for this particular level were inspired by the background animation made by ProjectG. Lycklig's creative use of decorations and track placement makes this level a unique gameplay experience!”
