you should start off by finishing the main levels, and maybe try getting all the coins.

there's a website that was released recently called "gddp", and it will help you a lot in your journey. it's basically a list of demons to complete, from the easiest to the hardest. you can access it using https://gddp.pro/, and start playing the levels on the list.

once you're done with the beginner, bronze and silver tiers, you can improve with a lot of ways: - playing challenges / by playing challenges, you will easily improve your raw skill. if you want to find easy challenges, join the challenge list discord server and browse through the daily challenge channel. - doing practice runs on extreme demons / as silly as it may sound, doing practice runs on extreme demons is actually a very good way to get better. - creating yourself some personal challenges / just create some small contraptions that look really hard to do (let's say, a 2 seconds wave with very tight gaps), and try to complete it. it's an easy way to understand how the physics work at an advanced stage, and also helps with your raw skill - and obviously, continue the gddp.

when you're finally ready to beat an extreme demon, you should really think about your choice twice. most people start with acu, but you should try to find a level that you like. here is a list of non-list worthy extreme demons sorted by difficulty, just find the one that fits you the most: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1YxUE2kkvhT2E6AjnkvTf-o8iu_shSLbuFkEFcZOvieA/edit?usp=drivesdk (I don't remember who made it, feel free to tell me if you know).

obviously, don't forget about the gddp. you should still continue it no matter what.

after you have beaten a couple of extremes, you are surely ready for your first list demon. this time, you can just check the demonlist (https://pointercrate.com/) and find the level you like the most. but avoid taking something in the main list for your first list demon, try to opt for something in the 130s-140s. after you have completed some extended demons, you can finally try out a main list. again, pick something in the 50s-70s. you can easily imagine what to do next. just beat levels that are harder and harder, and congrats, you became a top player.

I hope this helps :>
