Gameplay
The level begins with a tricky normal-speed cube section. There is also a Low Detail Mode option located here. After the long, tricky cube section, the player becomes a wave. The triple-speed wave segment is quite difficult, with fast speed and little room for the wave to manoeuvre, followed by a tricky but simple ship part with moving blocks, orbs and fast speed. After the ship segment, the player enters a UFO segment. The UFO segment is tricky, involving fast speed and constant gravity changes. Next is a ship segment consisting of fading saws, frequent teleportation and fast speed. After that is another tricky cube section with orbs, requiring decent memorisation.
After the cube, there is a difficult ball segment with constant black objects and fast speed. The ball segment also requires intense memorisation and intense timing. After the ball part, there is a simple robot segment requiring memorisation. The following UFO part is like the previous one, with fast speed and frequent gravity changes; it needs intense timing. The UFO part is followed by a hard mini-wave segment, requiring precise timing. After the mini-wave segment, there is a difficult cube section, demanding intense timings and memorisation skills from the player. Next is a simple ship segment with moving blocks, requiring more basic memorisation. Finally, the level ends with a cube with two triple spikes.
User coins
There are three user coins in the level.
- The first user coin is located at 62%. It is hidden inside the blue orb, and the player must not jump to get it. After getting it, they must use the jump orb again to continue.
- The second user coin is located at 92%. The coin becomes invisible for a moment but would turn visible again if the player does not manage to get it.
- The third and final coin is located at 96%. The player must travel through the fake blocks and head up to the cube portal, but they must be careful as no blocks support the spikes.
Trivia
- The level is free to copy.
- FunnyGame is mentioned as BunnyGame in the final part due to the Easter egg in his levels.
- In the first cube segment, if the player crashes on the triple spike, text saying 'For Michi' will appear (referencing the player Michigun).
- If the player jumps and crashes into it, the text will appear slowly from the right, and if they crash into it without jumping, the text will appear suddenly.
- This level, along with Astralith, The Diablo, Vessel, Uprising and the entire NCS Gauntlets 1 and 2, are the only Gauntlet levels with NONG songs.
- Both this level and Astralith are the only Gauntlet levels to have their songs removed or go unavailable from Newgrounds.
- In this case, the music for this level got removed from Newgrounds because Acid-Notation was caught sampling. However, it still works in-game since most of Acid-Notation's songs are stored on RobTop's servers, making it the first gauntlet with a NONG song.
- Both this level and Astralith are the only Gauntlet levels to have their songs removed or go unavailable from Newgrounds.
- It is often considered the hardest level in the Demon Gauntlet.
- It is the only unnerfed level in the Demon Gauntlet.
