I’m typing this like 30 minutes after beating the level. It took me 14,032 attempts. [![Image of the overview page for the level "Hidden In The Sand" by ASBCHazel in Geometry Dash. A Normal Mode percentage of 100% can be seen.](https://ofplayers.net/blog/posts/images/wordpress/2023/04/20230406164246_1.jpg)](https://gdbrowser.com/87481937) Overall, I think this level is really good. I’ve always liked Tally Hall as a band, and when I saw ASBCHazel make 2 levels with their songs, I knew I would eventually have to beat one of them. So when I realized that I was in the skill range to beat Hidden In The Sand, I immediately wanted to beat the level. At first, this level was hard to do runs on, obviously, as this level was harder than anything I had ever beaten before. I eventually got pretty good at everything in the level. Except for the part right before the start of the drop, a ship and wave part. ![A screenshot of the ship part at 48% of Hidden In The Sand](https://ofplayers.net/blog/posts/images/wordpress/2023/04/20230406173748_1.jpg)![A screenshot at the wave part around 56% on Hidden In The Sand](https://ofplayers.net/blog/posts/images/wordpress/2023/04/20230406173752_1.jpg) This part was really hard for me. Spoiler: the wave was still pretty hard even when I was about to beat the level. The ship was really hard for me, mostly because of the way you had to go through the gap before the reverse gravity-pink orb combo. The wave was around the same difficulty to me. Writing some of this on my phone, images won’t be here for a bit. Anyways, let’s skip a bit. Maybe a few days or so. Fun fact: first time I got to the 30% wave I skipped a gravity portal I managed to fluke from 54 to 75! I did literally half the drop first attempt, and didn’t die to the wave spam! ![](https://ofplayers.net/blog/posts/images/wordpress/2023/04/vlcsnap-2023-04-08-14h57m57s612.png) 2 days after that, I got 80! (and got a heartrate monitor) ![](https://ofplayers.net/blog/posts/images/wordpress/2023/04/vlcsnap-2023-04-08-14h59m08s317.png) THE SAME DAY I GOT 92! ![](https://ofplayers.net/blog/posts/images/wordpress/2023/04/vlcsnap-2023-04-08-15h01m00s716.png)![](https://ofplayers.net/blog/posts/images/wordpress/2023/04/vlcsnap-2023-04-08-15h01m16s632.png) Then, I barely got any progress for the next few days. I thought this was gonna end up like Supersonic and Killbot, where I died far into the level, stopped getting progress, and dropped it. I thought. I beat Hidden In The Sand. After 14 THOUSAND attempts, it was over. My first extreme. I broke the cycle I started with Thanatophobia all the way in May 2022, almost a year ago. … Now onto my thoughts. … I actually really liked this level! You can probably guess why, since I like Tally Hall and Geometry Dash, but overall it is a great level. I think the hardest part is either the last wave or the 48 ship. …That’s all I really have to say. I’ll probably go for another hard level in the future, but not now. I probably won’t keep it a secret, either. Unless it’s a new hardest.
