'''Kyouki''' ('''狂気''') is a 2.1 solo Extreme Demon level created, verified and published by Demishio (出見塩). Kyouki is the hardest fully solo level beaten legitimately (being entirely created and verified by the same player), followed by The Lightning Rod and [[Verdant Landscape]]. The level features fast gameplay with near humanly-impossible timings and quick game-mode changes, making the level very difficult to learn. Demishio designed the gameplay with his skillset in mind. Demishio verified Kyouki on 24 November 2022 after a death at 97%. He streamed himself playing the level for 175 days for around three hours daily, taking 501,997 attempts total (258,510 attempts to verify, 243,487 attempts playtesting).

==Gameplay==
Demishio verified Kyouki on 24 November 2022 after a death at 97%. He streamed himself playing the level for 175 days, roughly three hours a day, for a total of 501,997 attempts (258,510 to verify and 243,487 for playtesting).
*'''0-12%:''' The level begins with a fast cube section, with many game-modes, like the ball, spider, robot, etc. These change very fast, and it takes a long time to learn. Many pads, portals, and orbs have bright, neon designs. There is a tight wave near the end, and after 12%, the player goes into a triple-speed change into the next section.
 
*'''12-21%:''' The next area is rapid game-mode switching, fast speed and tight timings. Several tight normal wave and mini-wave sections are here, with frequent speed changes and tighter timings with the ball, robot, and spider. There are also several tight flying sections floating in the air.
==Description==
*'''21-30%:''' This section carries the same aesthetic as the others, with cube, ball, spider, and robot timings. At 26%, the player becomes a dual wave and has to spam through a tight corridor. A fast cube follows that, with a tight mini-wave at the end. There are many tight timings and almost frame-perfect clicks here.

*'''40-49%:''' From 40%-43%, there are spider/robot timings, orbs, pads and mini portals. After 43%, there is a squished monster straight-fly. After this, the duals begin with a cube dual, turning into a cube-ball section. At the end, towards halfway, there are mini-wave sections with the UFO, ball, robot, and spider.

*'''49-58%:''' Past the halfway point, the level gets somewhat slower and has many different hard duals like cube-ball and cube-robot. This section ends with a tight UFO-ship dual, with tight clicks and almost invisible gameplay.

Kyouki (Japanese: 狂気; lit. madness) is a 2.1 Extreme Demon level by Demishio.[1] It features fast gameplay with nearly impossible timings and quick game-mode changes, making it very difficult to learn. Demishio designed the gameplay with his skill set in mind.

Demishio verified Kyouki on 24 November 2022 after a death at 97%. He streamed himself playing the level for 175 days, roughly three hours a day, for a total of 501,997 attempts (258,510 to verify and 243,487 for playtesting).

[edit | edit source]
  • 0-12%: Kyouki begins with a fast cube section, with many game-modes, like the ball, spider, robot, etc. The game-modes change very quickly, and it takes a long time to learn this part. Many pads, portals, and orbs have bright, neon designs. There is a tight wave near the end, and after 12%, the player goes into a triple-speed change into the next section.
  • 12-21%: The next area is rapid game-mode switching, fast speed and tight timings. Several tight normal-wave and mini-wave sections are here, with frequent speed changes and tighter timings with the ball, robot, and spider. There are also several tight flying sections floating in the air.
  • 21-30%: This section carries the same aesthetic as the others, with cube, ball, spider, and robot timings. At 26%, the player becomes a dual wave and must spam through a tight corridor. A fast cube follows that, with a tight mini-wave at the end. There are many tight timings and almost frame-perfect clicks here.
  • 30-40%: This section starts with a tight ship, then continues with the neon, spider, ball, and robot timings section. A swift wave/mini-wave section begins at 36%, ending at 39% with a slow UFO section.
  • 40-49%: From 40%-43%, there are spider/robot timings, orbs, pads and mini portals. After 43%, there is a squished monster straight-fly. After this, the duals begin with a cube dual, turning into a cube-ball section. Towards the halfway point of the level, there are mini-wave sections with the UFO, ball, robot, and spider.

  • 78-88%: This section starts with a Japanese symbol and then proceeds to a fast, very tight wave/mini-wave with gameplay close to Slaughterhouse's mini-wave sections. It features many tight game-mode switches, culminating in a tight double-speed straight-fly section.
  • 88-94%: This section is much slower than the other sections, mainly focusing on a wave, then UFO, then slow cube gameplay. The section ends with a small, neon straight-fly.
  • 94-100%: There is a normal-speed cube section with tight orbs, timings and dash orbs. At 98%, there is an extended triple-spike. After passing the triple spike, the player encounters an end screen with multiple instances of the word 'Kyouki' flashing.
