Not gold at all

Acid green

Eight creators under Bo, and the hardest colour in the game to make look good.

Why it’s here

A masterclass in atmospheric pressure.

The Golden is a masterclass in atmospheric pressure. Hosted by Bo and serving as a spiritual successor to El Dorado, it ditches the game's standard colour palettes for a suffocating, deeply overgrown jungle aesthetic of dark greens and golds.

The level is notoriously difficult, particularly in its completely unforgiving wave sections, and the visual clutter deliberately plays tricks on your eyes. When nSwish finally verified it, he conquered a level that felt less like a GD layout and more like a hostile, living environment.

This is still very unfinished

A lot of the descriptions could be wrong, and a ton of the writing here is still all AI.

So if you see something wrong, I already know about it.
