addedNew Xtra World: XS-X Party of SpiritsLet's party! This was a really fun world to make. We knew we wanted to work with this piece for a long time, especially with how quick and bouncy it is. It was a perfect opportunity to introduce a new character, our Tiger. Firestix went the extra mile on animating all of our ideas, and we love how it came out. Enjoy!
changedNew Featured LevelsOlie - Temple Of Treasure [by TeoC] Temple Of Treasure is one of the 5 episodes of Everypence, a story written by Olie. TeoC loved Olie's story so much he decided to adapt it to ADOFAI. We were impressed by how he created this adaptation, especially by making original gameplay gimmicks inspired by it. Temple Of Treasure stands out as our favorite because of its interesting gimmick that makes you switch between 2 pairs of planets that are different in speed. Pro tip: be mindful of the audio cues; they will help you during the switch-ups!

Raimukun - Avantgarde [by Team Vega] Team Vega's return to making more high-quality levels couldn't be grander when they published Avantgarde, a level that won the 'Art-est Award' in LOTY2023 for its outstanding VFX made by talented creators around the world! This level is also one of the toughest featured levels, with an average BPM so fast that the rhythms you may be already familiar with were taken to the extreme!

Lokan - Wild! West! Showdown! [by Star4th] Wild! West! Showdown! is a track made for PABAT! 2019, with an animation that tells the story of a duel between two foes for one treasure. Star4th adapted this to ADOFAI for the SMTL competition, where he was given a penalty that states: "The level must exactly have 48 twirls." Wondering where those twirls went should be the least of your worries though, because... Wait, huh? THE LAST TILE IS SENTIENT???

Camellia vs Akira Complex - Railgun Roulette (VIP) [by Econ, Twilight Skylines, ABorinGuy, yeetyote] Railgun Roulette (VIP) is a track made by a collaboration between Camellia and Akira Complex with their powerful head-banging take on Drum & Bass music! This level was made for FAINT, a fan-run sightreading tournament where players compete in levels they have never seen before! This level may look easy, but don't sleep on those visual distractions, they might catch you off guard!

Thank you, Akira Complex. We miss you.
