== Gameplay ==
The level begins with a fast-paced section overloaded with different game-modes, where the player must navigate through incredibly tight spaces, accompanied by near-frame-perfect timings. At 5% the level really takes up on its pace, and to already present high intensity, the first music drop is added. That section is a mostly gravity-based one, with a lot of gravity portals and orbs scattered around. In the background a galaxy, presumably Andromeda Galaxy can be seen, together with the foreground drasticly changing colours, ranging from purple, gray, orange, red, and pink. At 20%, in order to proceed further, the player as a ship has to fly through a really tight clubstep monster. Another drop occurs, accompanied by the background change, in which now a black hole appeared. This part of the level is even more challenging, with tighter spaces, reduced visibility, and less time to react for the player. At 33% a transition happens, the player is swiftly changed into a wave, and forced to make very difficult timing clicks. The transition end at 37%, and now a white hole can be seen in the background. For this section, the predominant colors are dark blue, purple and gray. At 45%, the icon goes through a wave portal, and after some more game-mode changes, the player reaches 52%. In that moment the screen goes black, and at 53% the background is changed again, now being an empty space with purple and pink pulses. During 53% and 64% the screen flashes a lot, with visibly more intense visuals, the platforms where played must land and jump of are shaking up and down. At 66%, after yet another transition, a black hole emerges in the background. The screen glitches, and now every single object is moving except orbs and portals. This segment of the level is by far the hardest in its entirety. The last 82-100% is characterized by steep sideways platforms that the player must conquer in order to move on to 89%. Between this and 90% the last transition happens, and with it, the level calms down and gets significantly less difficult due to the reduced flashiness of the screen, and at the time when the player is being pushed through this last section of tight and still challenging gaps, the Andromeda Galaxy can be seen once again in the background. All the visuals stop at 96%, marking the levels' end.
