Kyouki (狂気) is a 2.1 Extreme Demon level by Demishio.[1] 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 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
- 0-12%: Kyouki begins with a fast cube section, with many game-modes, like the ball, spider, robot, etc. The game-modes change very rapidly, 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.
- 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, containing 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.
- 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.

Trivia
- Kyouki was placed at #3 on the Demonlist on 2 January 2023, above Abyss of Darkness and below Slaughterhouse.
- This addition to the Demonlist pushed Sakupen Circles out of the Top 5, Spectrum Cyclone into the Extended List, and Jamboree into the Legacy List.
- Coincidentally, Spectrum Cyclone and Jamboree are two fully solo levels, just like Kyouki. The latter is also inspired by the former.
- Kyouki is also the first level placed on the Demonlist in 2023.
- This addition to the Demonlist pushed Sakupen Circles out of the Top 5, Spectrum Cyclone into the Extended List, and Jamboree into the Legacy List.
- Kyouki was ranked #96 in GDToday's '100 Greatest Levels of All Time' list.
- Kyouki (狂気) translates to 'craziness', 'insanity', or 'madness' in Japanese. Both this and the level's description are derived from the song's name used in the level.
- Opinions on Kyouki's difficulty vary. While Demishio never intended the level to be Top 1, some skilled players believe it should be placed as Top 1, such as lolwut and Laniakea. The level's first victor, Zoink, thinks it should be Top 3-4, while the second victor, Taiago, believes it should be Top 2-3, and Trick considers that it should be placed above Slaughterhouse.
- Kyouki is part of the community-made 'ASK Trilogy', along with Acheron and Slaughterhouse.
- Kyouki used to be both Japan's hardest created and beaten level simultaneously. Japan's current hardest Demon is Silent clubstep, beaten by MeQ8cNv43s6A.
- Kyouki is the first fully solo level since Conical Depression to reach the Top 3 hardest levels on the Demonlist.
- The placement of Ashley Wave Trials on 1 March 2026 pushed Kyouki out of the Top 20 of the Demonlist.
