Jawbreaker is a 1.9 Hard Demon created, verified and published by ZenthicAlpha. It is a difficult remake of Nine Circles. This is one of the very first Nine Circles levels remakes to appear in the first place. Most players consider this a Medium-Hard Demon.

Gameplay[]

The level starts off with a cube section that requires some simple timings but is fairly easy, despite having a few tricks. Next, the player enters a double speed ship sequence which is widely considered to be moderately hard, due to the tricky gravity portals and tight spaces, straight flying, and slopes that throw around the player. After that, the player enters a ball segment, which is also moderately hard due to crucial timing, very fast clicks, invisible spikes, and fake jump orbs. Then the cube part will appear again. The next cube segment is extremely easy and only requires hitting all the jump orbs, then it goes into an auto segment and half-speed with some blue gravity pads. Then, the music drops, and the infamous Nine Circles wave segment of Jawbreaker is introduced.

Unlike the other Nine Circles remakes, Jawbreaker also features a couple of tight spaces, a very high abundance of gravity and size changes, and a few speed changes. The dual segments are the easiest sections of the entire wave, along with the small half-speed break in the middle. The second half of the wave is notoriously hard because of the ridiculous amount of size changes, followed by many gravity portals that can quickly throw off the player. The level ends as an anti-gravity dual wave segment. Unlike most Nine Circles levels, this one has no signature that says the creator's name or "GG.", similarly to Figures, which has no such signature or ending-message either.

Bugs[]

• As shown in EricVanWilderman's video of this level, there are multiple spots where the player can slip around gravity and size portals that will often cause the player to crash.
• You can skip the last dual portal in the last mini wave segment of the level, where you can end up as a single mini-wave. This is performed by holding at the gravity portal prior.
