| − | '''[[Acropolis]]''' is a 1.9/2.0 Insane Demon created by [[Zobros]]. It is notorious for its numerous tight spaces, "thorn balls", abundance of small spikes, and timings.
| + | [[Image:acropolis.gif|right|thumb|an Acropolis]] |
| | + | '''Acropolis''' (Greek: ''akrópolis'') is the [[Greek language|Greek]] term which refers to the portion of a town or city that is built on a hilltop for easy defense. It comes from the Greek "acros" which means summit, and "polis" which means city. It literally translates to "the highest point of the city". In ancient [[Greece]], there were many [[city-states]] for geographical reasons, and they often had an acropolis located in them. [[The Acropolis]] of [[Athens]] is the best known acropolis of the world; the [[Parthenon]] is located upon it. |

| − | * '''0-15%:''' The level starts with a half-speed cube section which consists of some very difficult jumps and drops that need crucial timing. This section gets more difficult as it goes on. It is generally considered to be the most difficult part of the level.
| + | |
| − | * '''16-24%:''' Next, the player enters a moderately difficult ball segment that needs timing because of spikes and spike balls everywhere. It usually takes a long time to study this segment because it has numerous traps and timings.
| + | |
| − | * '''25-33%:''' Afterwards, the player transitions into a ship sequence with tight spaces. This sequence is not very hard compared to the more timing-intensive cubes.
| + | |
| − | * '''34-42%:''' Afterwards, the player enters a difficult cube section which contains numerous traps, invisible spikes, and spike "balls" everywhere that mostly cover the various jump orbs. This section is too difficult to sight-read and requires some muscle memory.
| + | |
| − | * '''43-51%:''' If the player manages to pass the cube, they will enter a moderately difficult mini-ship sequence with somewhat tight spaces, which requires a bit of skill. Despite this, it is mostly considered one of the easier parts of the level.
| + | |
| − | * '''52-59%:''' After the ship, the player transitions into a tight UFO segment that has quite a specific click/tap pattern, which is notorious for being extremely inconsistent.
| + | |
| − | * '''60-68%:''' Next, the player enters a ball segment that is very similar to the first one, with tricky timings everywhere throughout the section.
| + | |
| − | * '''69-78%:''' Afterward, they enter a cube section with a few simple jumps over clusters of tiny grey spikes. They are the same jumps repeated over and over again throughout the 9% segment, but it requires good consistency.
| + | |
| − | * '''79-100%:''' Lastly, the player enters a wave segment with rather open spaces, thorn balls, and spikes everywhere. This wave section is typically considered to be one of the easier parts of the level, but it can be difficult to gain consistency with it. Near the end of the level, Zobros's name is shown through a final spam corridor, which has killed its fair share of unlucky players. Then, the level ends.

| − | == User coins ==
| + | *[[Greek empire]] |
| − | This level has three silver user coins. The second and third coins are the hardest ones to obtain.
| + | *[[Pericles]] |
| − | * The first coin is located in the first ball segment at 20%. It is fairly easy to get as you only need to hit the pink jump orb with good timing since the coin is under the pink jump orb. However, it is easy to hit too late (thus crashing into the wall) and also hit too early (thus crashing into the spike ball overhead).
| + | |
| − | * The second coin is located at the second ship sequence, at 46%. Located near the gravity portal, the player must time their flying very well in order to avoid crashing into the spikes lining their passage while being in a position that lets them grab the second coin. The coin is placed quite far to the left, so it is necessary for the player to tap and hold earlier than usual to collect it. | + | |
| − | * The third coin is located at the last wave segment, at 95%. The coin is located at the top of the spike balls. The player must carefully get the coin as there are blocks above the coin that can result in them crashing. | + | |
