The so-called Devil Vortex Saws became an in-joke within the Geometry Dash community but remained relatively obscure until 2022. On February 14th, 2023, YouTuber NothingIsScary posted a video reviewing the controversy that gained over 209,000 views in five months (shown below, right). In a response video (shown below, left), posted on YouTube on September 3rd, 2018, ToshDeluxe claimed that he placed the saws at the top of the level in order to copy and use the objects to buff the level. According to Npesta's accusation, the blades were placed to hide the fact that invisible objects were placed (Npesta's video no longer available). In August 2018, Geometry Dash player Npesta accused ToshDeluxe of cheating the verification by 'semi-autoing' the level (meaning that ToshDeluxe placed invisible jump pads and gravity changes in certain difficult areas of the level so it partly completed itself). On April 21st, 2017, Geometry Dash player ToshDeluxe uploaded a video of his verification (first ever successful completion) of the Extreme Demon level Devil Vortex, created by Rustam (video shown below).
