The Demon List is a website that stores a list of Extreme Demons from the game "Geometry Dash", they are ranked by difficulty, and there are 3 lists, the main list, which consists of the 75 most difficult levels, the extended list, which consists of the other 75 most difficult levels (reaching 150), and the legacy list, which is only for nostalgic purposes, and contains the levels that are no longer in the other lists.

The list is very famous in the Geometry Dash community, but, at the same time, it is infamous, because of some controversies

Bad Qualities

1. Let's start with the red elephant in the room, this list has become so popular, that it has started an epidemic of levels made without effort, with bad decoration, but that are very difficult, an example of this is "Riot's Demise", many people in the community have said that these kind of levels are bad, because they are saturating the game, and also that they are not good in gameplay, but another part defends them, starting a war of opinions, although it is not the fault of the list that this happened, it helped a little to all this discussion, People just want to create a difficult level to make it known... and that's it, they don't care if it's good.
2. Many YouTube channels take advantage of the list and the popularity of the difficult levels made without effort, to make videos "Showcase" of the levels, always putting all in capital letters "TOP 1", even if the level is not more difficult than the current Top 1.
3. Many times this list makes the community fight for the position of a level, saying that some level should be higher or lower, this is especially noticeable with the debate in the top 10.
4. Just as there are good levels in the list, there are bad levels, such as "Hard Machine" and its weird colorful decoration.
5. This list totally betrays what the game is supposed to do... entertain you and give you fun, because there is nothing entertaining about playing a hard level with Frame Perfects, and unplayable parts because they are so hard.
6. Related to the levels made without effort, there is also the fact, that many of these levels seem to be copied and pasted, a lot of them are, pure red with hell decoration, and pure darkness, this was started by "Bloodbath" and people started to copy it.
7. Very few times the whole community agrees on something, but once it was like that and it was when "Acheron" was Rated, an overwhelming amount of people, said that the level was Top 1... and they put it in Top 2, this created an explosive reaction quite negative, and shortly after they changed it, but it still feels a little stupid that in the beginning they put it in Top 2.
8. SpaceUK, he was a "Professional" player who turned out to be a hacker in the end, that's not the problem, but the problem is that they made MUCH of him when he was considered legitimate, heck, the level "Silent Clubstep", was top 1 when it was verified, but because of SpaceUK, and his insistence that "Slaughterhouse" was harder, that's what made them put it lower on the list, even though it was harder.
9. related to the previous point, they sometimes do not see well the records they accept, because SpaceUK, did not use a difficult hacking method, he just used a macro, learned the clicks, and put the macro while faking the clicks, that is very easy to do, and yet the list did not realize that, it shows that their anti-cheating system does not work (this would not look so bad, if not because they did much attention to SpaceUK, affecting level positions, even when he was hacker, although at that time they did not know it).
10. The list can be inconsistent, due to SpaceUK, and others, they have made the list levels change position every so often, when it should not be so, the list should not be so indecisive.

Good Qualities

1. Gives visibility to good players (Like: Zoink or Doggie)
2. It can also be said that it gives visibility to good levels.
3. Many Demon List levels are good, such as: SlaughterHouse, Verdant Landscape, Limbo, xo, Poocubed and a long etc.
4. The popularity of this list has led to the appearance of more lists, such as the "Unrated Extreme Demons List" or "Insane Demons List".
5. The website is very well done, it's nice.

Reception

It is a bit difficult to say the reception of the Demon List, because on YouTube there are hundreds of videos criticizing it, and other hundreds defending it, also on the Reddit of the game, there is a lot of debate about this list, although over time it is less and less, it could be said that this list has a fairly mixed reception.

Trivia

• The "Top 1", most popular of the Game is "Bloodbath", and it is mainly because of this list
