Geometry Dash Yatagarasu is a brutal Extreme Demon rhythm platformer built by 24 builders, featuring a mythical Japanese crow theme and mythical visuals.
Why Geometry Dash Yatagarasu Became Legendary
Geometry Dash Yatagarasu was created through the collaboration of 24 talented builders, coordinated by Riot and Viprin before being verified and published by TrusTa in 2017. The level quickly became famous by reaching the top of the Geometry Dash Demonlist shortly after release.
Its name comes from the mythical three-legged crow of East Asian folklore, and that theme appears throughout the entire adventure. Dark environments, mysterious visual effects, and recurring crow imagery create a unique atmosphere that perfectly matches the level's intimidating difficulty.
Enter an upside-down UFO portal
Unlike many Extreme Demons that focus only on tight gameplay, Yatagarasu also tells a visual story through its artistic design, making every section memorable.
Every Section Pushes Your Reflexes Further
The gameplay never stays the same for long. Similar to Geometry Dash Lite, every control in Geometry Dash Yatagarasu remains simple, but Yatagarasu constantly introduces new mechanics, speed changes, and visual effects that completely transform the experience.
The opening immediately throws players into a dark Ship section with reduced visibility. From there, I had to react to:
- Invisible obstacles
- Mirror effects
- Gravity-changing UFO gameplay
- Mini Ball sections
- Hidden portals
- Tight Cube timings
The middle sections continue increasing the pressure with:
- Triple-speed Ship gameplay
- Memory-based Cube routes
- Difficult Mini Ball timing
- Straight-flying corridors
- Complex orb combinations
Later, the level becomes even more unforgiving. Robot gameplay, Swing Copter sequences, triple-speed Wave sections, and brutal spike jumps all appear within a short time. One famous sequence near the middle requires an immediate reaction after a triple spike, perfectly synchronized with the soundtrack, creating one of the level's most memorable moments.
A Hidden Secret Worth Finding
Besides its incredible difficulty, Geometry Dash Yatagarasu also hides one of the community's favorite Easter eggs.
During LmAnubis' section, I discovered that entering a specific upside-down UFO portal reveals a hidden shark in the bottom-left corner of the screen. Because the gameplay is so intense, many players never notice it during their first completions.
Interestingly, this same shark also appears in the famous Extreme Demon level Digital Descent, making it a fun reference for longtime Geometry Dash fans with titles such as Geometry Dash Subzero, Geometry Dash Meltdown, and Geometry Dash World.
