'''KOCMOC''' ( | '''KOCMOC''' (pronounced ''cosmos'')<ref group="Notes">Intended to be the Russian 'космос' (kosmos, transl. cosmos). However, it is often misinterpreted as 'cock-mock' by English speakers.</ref> is a 2.1 Extreme Demon mega-collaboration level created and published by the members of Cherry Team, initially verified by [[Trick]] on 12 March 2023,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsOVrVlcE2g</ref> then re-verified by [[Zoink]] as an updated version on 13 May 2023.<ref name="Verification">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CxE-UWCIG4</ref> The level is heavily inspired by the former Top 1 Demon [[Slaughterhouse]], with most of the gameplay consisting of tight, spam-based wave segments. The level's gameplay was entirely built by spk (formerly SpikeGMD) and later decorated by Cherry Team. | ||
Upon the release | Upon the level's release by Cherry Team after Trick's verification, it faced criticism from top players concerning bugs, optimisation and balance. In response, Vernam, the level's host, released an updated version addressing several bugs. Konsi's part was replaced due to poor optimisation, with kivvvi stepping in. Zoink later verified this revised version.<ref name="Verification" /> | ||

The level ramps to quadruple speed, intensifying the challenge through the wave game mode. The player must navigate with tight manoeuvres, enter a mini portal and face a compact wave section. A frantic spam section follows, leading into a ship segment. Here, the player must ascend briefly, hit a black orb, and then execute a straight-fly along the bottom.

Here, a rapid automatic transition leads into extremely precise gameplay, marked by arrows to guide the player and make it slightly forgiving. Midway through, the player enlarges briefly and faces a few seconds of tight manoeuvres. This section concludes with a brief ball segment featuring precise orb timings and clicks. To conclude, the player must execute a rapid mini-wave spam. | ||

It includes extended periods of wave navigation interspersed with a highly demanding spam section at the end, arguably the toughest spam segment.
