'''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.

*'''58-68%:''' The level gets fast again and starts with the illusion of triple-spikes falling on the player. It is close to the first section but much tighter and faster. This section has no duals and is a very bright, epileptic section of the level.

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).

Description

[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.
  • 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 concludes with a tight UFO-ship dual, featuring tight clicks and near-invisible gameplay.
  • 58-68%: The level gets fast again and starts with the illusion of triple-spikes falling on the player. It is close to the first section but much tighter and faster. This section has no duals and is a very bright, epileptic section of the level.
  • 68-78%: The level slows down until 72%, and the rest of the section is tight duals. The duals here are tight and fast: wave-wave, cube-cube, cube-ball, and cube-ship.
  • 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.
