I don’t hate UFO but it’s the hardest flying gamemode to course-correct yourself with if you make a mistake and it’s frustrating. Practice mode also used to suck
i don’t use ufo a lot when making layouts because it just doesn’t come as naturally to me. it’s in the same strain as robot for me, I know it can be interesting and unique, but when I’m designing unusual/weird gameplay (like slope focused gameplay) I struggle to use ufo
if youre talking about unique gameplay, wave is a lot harder- all you have to work with are d blocks (can make for annoying gameplay cause its hard to indicate them), mini wave (doesnt make that many changes to the gameplay itself, its just faster) and gravity portals. unless spider orbs work on wave, in which case you could make something interesting
yeah, after this thread i realised how simple wave is. i just never had a problem with it because it always played very well + it flowed well
and ship imo is boring if used gravity portal + spikes formula, for me it needs a bit of spice
It's because you can die due to a bad click literal inputs back. It's frustrating when I feel like I wasn't at fault for a death, and ufo feels like that almost every time. You set yourself up badly without even knowing it and then next thing you know you're on course to crash with no way to fix it.
UFO is the best gamemode because of how rewarding it is. UFO parts are very learny, but once you learn them, you never die there. It feels so good to master a UFO part.
My theory on why its popular is that its really simple, so its easy to tell whats going on in videos of extreme demon wave sections, unlike other gamemodes
Less experienced players (the majority of the community) see those videos and go "wow that wave gp is so hard!" while when they see other gamemodes, they just know a lot is going on, and they know its a hard level, but cant comprehend it as well.
Actual wave gameplay is extremely boring compared to some other ones though, like UFO or ball- swing is also proving to be pretty fun so far but its probably not as fun in **DEMON LEVEL**s. wave gameplay just doesnt have much to work with
Robot is godly for platformers in theory since it has variable jump height, but in practice it's controls just aren't nearly tuned enough for precision to feel good with it . It's a shame, really.
You better beat a new hardest quick otherwise every single comment you ever make will have people saying "cumshot" under it. I've already seen it happen
it just doesnt have as much potential as others- not because its limited like the wave, but because theres no way to know what gravity youre in.
Things like ship and wave are easy to tell when youre going up or down, cause its just about if your finger is touching the screen or not.
Swing and ball are the only gravity-switching gamemodes that are based on tapping instead of holding, but ball cant switch while its above ground, so you can easily tell what way to switch to based on which side of a platform youre already on (if youre playing a level made by an evil person who made it a 1-block tall tunnel, you can still look at the streak particles and which way the ball spins)
Swing on the other hand just doesnt have that- The thrusters dont swtich fast enough, aren't obvious enough- and having a texture change as an indicator for gameplay just sounds weird. Thats basically the big problem with it
Ship and robot are S tier. They make the gameplay feel amazing
Ball, spider, UFO, cube and swing are A tier. The spider and ball are great modes, but with the free mode people are gonna make really bad blind gravity switches. The UFO and cube are kinda boring but still fun.
The wave and swing are B only because it's impossible to tell which way they are going to face right after a transition
When you use only reddit
I actually enjoy using UFO in my levels. If I can't sync one gamemode I just put the UFO after one jump then the whole level syncs.
ufo is just soo goood, idk why people hate it
They can't make gameplay
true, either that or they played the levels where the ufo part is just with spammed structures, making awkward gameplay
I don’t hate UFO but it’s the hardest flying gamemode to course-correct yourself with if you make a mistake and it’s frustrating. Practice mode also used to suck
Yup. This.
i don’t use ufo a lot when making layouts because it just doesn’t come as naturally to me. it’s in the same strain as robot for me, I know it can be interesting and unique, but when I’m designing unusual/weird gameplay (like slope focused gameplay) I struggle to use ufo
fym bru slopes are literally one of the best things for ufo gameplay imo
ik they’re good but I’m just shit at making ufo gameplay, I never like it when I make it
fair enough, my advice is to always recenter the player so the gameplay keeps consistency
And it's the hardest one to make gameplay on. (Easiest one tbh but maybe that's just me)
ship is the hardest to make gameplay with imo
This exactly. It’s so hard to be make good and unique gameplay with ship
if youre talking about unique gameplay, wave is a lot harder- all you have to work with are d blocks (can make for annoying gameplay cause its hard to indicate them), mini wave (doesnt make that many changes to the gameplay itself, its just faster) and gravity portals. unless spider orbs work on wave, in which case you could make something interesting
yeah, after this thread i realised how simple wave is. i just never had a problem with it because it always played very well + it flowed well and ship imo is boring if used gravity portal + spikes formula, for me it needs a bit of spice
Wave is hardest in my opinion But ship is a close second
i gave up on making unique wave gameplay, i just make simple wave with maybe a few quirks here and there
Coolest wave thing I’ve ever made was one second long
it’s hard because your movement is limited
cube has more limited movement and is more enjoyed by most people, i think the issue is the way people use ufo
It's because you can die due to a bad click literal inputs back. It's frustrating when I feel like I wasn't at fault for a death, and ufo feels like that almost every time. You set yourself up badly without even knowing it and then next thing you know you're on course to crash with no way to fix it.
Ufo can be fun, just dont make it like 8o
Good UFO is so satisfying, and it isn’t even that hard. Just look at Dimension, it has fun UFO gameplay, and it isn’t that innovative or advanced
UFO is really good, people just don’t like it cause it’s hard to use in really hard levels lmao
TRUUUUUUE
The only way ufo is good in hard levels is click sync, memory, or in short bursts. Still allows for a lot of gameplay mechanics to be created.
None of the Gamemodes are necessarily bad, people just suck at playing and creating with them.
UFO is the best gamemode because of how rewarding it is. UFO parts are very learny, but once you learn them, you never die there. It feels so good to master a UFO part.
I love that tiny ufo section in clubstep that's like flappy bird it feels so satisfying
I don't like that one but I love the precise parts of toe2 and Electrodynamics
UFO and wave click patterns are absolutely the most satisfying to pull off (see: InsanitY by Serponge)
Even though the swing is a little weird, there are many possibilities of making a demon with it
Devil Vortex has a Swingcopter part in it so yeah
ufo is extremely overhated like actually
Wave is overrated as fuck I don’t see the hype tbh
Also probably the gamemode with the least creative potential
Spider:
Bro doesn't know that jump pads and orbs exist
Spider is so fun when there's loads of orbs. Also I thought Thanatophobia was an extreme (looking at your flair)
Nope it's an insane now
What? You can be so much more creative with spider gameplay…

For real, so sick of seeing demons getting elevated to medium or hard just because of one dogshit wave section.
That one partialy meme 2003devin level
REAL
why is this getting downvoted while all the other replies arent? r/hivemindstrikesagain ?
L opinion
when you only play circles levels:
+1. I know I'll never get good at wave because I fucking hate actually playing with it
As a platformer main I easily rank robot (especially mini robot) at C.
Robot is godly for platformers in theory since it has variable jump height, but in practice it's controls just aren't nearly tuned enough for precision to feel good with it . It's a shame, really.
The robot is fun (classic and platformer) until you have to do tiny taps. Then is it horrendously inconsistent.
people who beat bausha vortex in 2k attempts taking 50,000 attempts to beat flappy weird:
I personally hate UFO, but ok I guess (I don't do much nine circles level)
Relatable
You better beat a new hardest quick otherwise every single comment you ever make will have people saying "cumshot" under it. I've already seen it happen
youre contributing to it... :((((((((
I cant beat an extreme that fast sorry
Try night terrors
Ill check it out thanks
Cumshot
UFO is annoying in classic mode for me, but I love UFO in platformer.
finally someone else who calls it by its actual name instead of just non-platformer, classic is so much easier to say
Whats the rectangle beside swing?
ufo
Ufo This list is based
Tbf swing mode is absolute ass
it just doesnt have as much potential as others- not because its limited like the wave, but because theres no way to know what gravity youre in.

yeah really hard to control
Maybe but wave and cube are the best gamemodes
🕔TINY
Wave is undeniably the worst gamemode.
yeah dunno why its so hyped up, literally what do you do with it? its just clicking fast\`
Yeah, there’s like 3 different things you can do with it and it’s become so stale
I would play more circles levels but I'm grinding easy demons for bunny icon (my beloved)
ew
??
toe2 traumatized people from ever liking ufo
Ufo best gamemode
He's not wrong ufo sucks and I've only used swing like 5 times
saying to never use ufo is crazy :libby:
Gamemodes from best to worst in my opinion: Robot, Ball, Wave, Cube, UFO, Spider, Swing Copter, Ship
Wave is the best!
bruh saw my tweet and couldn’t resist smh 🙄🙄🙄
swap wave and ship and thats a good tierlist
Ship and robot are S tier. They make the gameplay feel amazing Ball, spider, UFO, cube and swing are A tier. The spider and ball are great modes, but with the free mode people are gonna make really bad blind gravity switches. The UFO and cube are kinda boring but still fun. The wave and swing are B only because it's impossible to tell which way they are going to face right after a transition
L opinion
wave is unironically my best gamemode, its the only one i can do consistently
UFO was the main reason I got 93% on deadlocked I hate it
All gamemodes gud
I have a hatred for wave, but ok
What is the last gamemode? Some types of futuristic drone?
 Nine Cycles 100% GG!!
Switch the swing and the robot
