Geometry Dash – Yatagarasu: A Dark Epic Among Extreme Demons
Geometry Dash Yatagarasu is a 10-star Extreme Demon, which ranks #24 on GDToday's 100 Greatest Levels of All Time. It was hailed not only for its difficulty, but also for its gothic, mythological design and creative use of custom effects and graphics. The level is a collaborative work that features numerous developers. It is named after the mythological Yatagarasu, a fabled three-legged crow from Japanese folklore—an appropriate metaphor for a level that feels nearly otherworldly.

Soundtrack and Atmosphere
The haunting soundtrack, "Flawless Wings of Yatagarasu" by GLS, quickly creates a dramatic and frightening atmosphere. The symphonic components and spooky buildup reflect the level's gloomy, mythological atmosphere. The graphic design increases the overall experience. The level is dominated by a contrasting red and black colour palette, resulting in a continual sensation of tension.
