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="Update Verification"/> | ||

*'''0-6% (Synd):''' KOCMOC begins with the pre-drop, split into two halves. Synd's half starts with a half-speed cube segment featuring strict timings, size portals and crucial orb clicks and jumps, similar to Slaughterhouse's beginning. Glitch effects add to the challenge. | *'''0-6% (Synd):''' KOCMOC begins with the pre-drop, split into two halves.

*'''6-13% (Vinty):''' In Vinty's half of the pre-drop, the player encounters tight timings, jumps and size portals.

The level ramps up to quadruple speed, intensifying the challenge in 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. The ship segment ends with a tight straight-fly that gradually slows. | ||
*'''29-44% ([[Bli]] + Sauzzeth):''' The level accelerates back up to quadruple speed, turning the player into a wave again. 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 briefly enlarges and faces a few seconds of tight manoeuvring. 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. | *'''29-44% ([[Bli]] + Sauzzeth):''' The level accelerates back up to quadruple speed, turning the player into a wave again.

*'''44-59% (Xatz):''' The level briefly slows during a transition before speeding up. Next, a big-sized wave segment requires strict timings and a quick spam section. After this, a brief ship section features a lenient straight-fly that quickly transitions into an automatic segment. Following that, a tight wave part changes size multiple times. The section ends with a mini-UFO part featuring three orb timings. | *'''44-59% (Xatz):''' The level briefly slows during a transition before speeding up.
