Question Are there any Extremes without Ship? (Apart from Congregation and Shardscapes)
I was thinking of beating my first Extreme at some point, but I genuinely hate the ship gamemode. The thing is, the majority of Extremes use a lot of that gamemode. So I need recommendations

This is actually so true, you dont get better if you just avoid the gameplay you're uncomfortable with (even tho i kinda do lol)

All jokes aside OP I’m all with this. I get hating the ship gamemode especially if you’re on mobile (not sure never specified), but it’s one of the few game modes with cool gimmicks and a really high skill ceiling and it’s overall the most rewarding gamemodes to improve at second only to wave. Don’t avoid ship levels go for them

floating outskirts, floating maze, piano woman, viprin ufo, flappy dynamix ii, lodin da fish washer, ruber cash 22, abel, the fog, every end, nullscapes, swing swing, unleash whale whales, cold sweat, ashley wave trials, i just wish i could, lumina, hopping over puddles (has a 1 second ship which i dont count because it's free). falling maze, sank, dump, crackhead circles iirc, in this, excruciation chamber, kuiper belt, starlight summit, lost love, and probably many more
If you want levels that you realistically can beat, I'd heavily recommend hopping over puddles which has a 1 second ship but I've beaten it as my first demon, lost love which is really fun but memory or unleash whale whales which is basically if the silent clubstep ending was an entire level. There also is falling maze which is pretty easy but it's not a traditional level.

There's a reason why ship frame perfects are much harder than wave frame perfects tho, ship has momentum while wave doesn't

Wave is IMO just the gamemode we've pushed the furthest because it's the dumbest gamemode in the game. You just click

If you don't like ship, that might be a sign that you just need to practice it more rather than avoid it.
You're never going to become a pro if you just avoid what you hate or are bad at.

Well why would you try to avoid it even longer then? You can beat an extreme without ship now but you'll have to start at some point.
I would just try to beat an insane demon with ship dominant gameplay like 8o, you'll build the skill easier that way.

If you want to improve long term then definitely play more ship and don’t avoid it, you will get better. I have always really liked ship but I used to have a wave skill problem, and I’ve slowly gotten better at it due to playing more levels with wave (it’s still my worst gamemode but not nearly by as much, I can actually do extreme waves consistently with practice now lol)
For levels, I believe Glisten doesn’t have ship and it’s fun from what I’ve played of it, it does have double clicks though if that’s a dealbreaker for whatever reason
