Wikipedia is not a strategy guide or instruction manual. Wikipedia articles should focus on the games themselves, not on how to play them; they should not contain tips, tricks, or cheat codes. That information is available elsewhere (such as on our sister project, Wikibooks), in printed guides and online, and does not belong in an encyclopedia entry. Please do not add your own hints or opinions of the game. Verifiable content about the history, design, and overall description of the game is welcome. If you have questions about whether specific information should be added, ask here first.

Gameplay Section

I feel like the gameplay section could be fleshed out a bit more. The section doesn't mention other game modes, and only mentions the editor in a single sentence towards the end. What do you guys think about expanding it? Inexistent074 (talk) 17:26, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Inexistent074 I agree Ikyuk (talk) 20:50, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

pre-release trailer information

"featuring the song Ultimate Destruction (made by Tmm43)." i believe TMM43 should be capitalised at that's how it appears everywhere else . i'm not completely sold on the "(made by Tmm43)." part , it doesn't feel like a real credit (as opposed to Song Title - Artist Name) and just seems like it's pasted on the end in a similar way to "Credit to artist" kind of deal . not sure , might be completely overthinking it though i also feel like it should mention the unauthorised usage of the song (as it's pretty important , and why it doesn't appear in the actual game , nor it's files , but it does in the trailer) .

Community (or something similar) section

I think there should be a section talking about the community and how people play the game e.g the demon list and top players Ikyuk (talk) 20:51, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Change "The full version of the game features the ability to upload user-created levels, with Lite and World offering a rotating selection of 20 user-created levels.[4]" to "The full version of the game features the ability to create and upload user-created levels using the level editor, which gives player access to the game's library of obstacles, platforms, level decorations, and action-performing objects called triggers. Once a level is legitimately completed by the creator, it can then be uploaded to the servers and receive a difficulty rating based on community ratings. The Lite and World versions offer a rotating selection of 20 user-created levels."

These ones are not reliable per WP:KYM. Also, I forgot to add in the message below that londondaily was the bad source that caused my edit to be partially reverted, so that one can be scrapped too. Dabmasterars (talk) 12:39, 8 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Good. I remember adding a section about NCS that got removed because of a bad source. Hopefully, these ones should be better. Dabmasterars (talk) 12:30, 8 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Gameplay demonstration on a custom level idea

So I've been thinking of making a custom level for a gameplay demonstration. To not violate any copyright, these requirements will be met:

- The level will only use assets that are simplistic enough to not pass threshold of originality (like blocks and orbs) and are therefore in public domain. Same rule applies for the player icons.

- Music is going to be from Newgrounds with either CC-BY or CC-BY-SA license.

- Level itself will be licensed under CC-BY by its creator (me).

Since gameplay mechanics can't be copyrighted, this should technically work. Did I miss something? Dabmasterars (talk) 13:17, 8 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
