'''Kyouki''' is a 2.1 solo Extreme Demon created, verified and published by Demishio. Kyouki is the hardest fully-solo level beaten legitimately (being completely created and verified by the same player), followed by [[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 November 24, 2022, after a death at 97%. He streamed himself playing the level for 175 days for around three hours each day, taking 501,997 attempts total (258,510 attempts to verify, 243,487 attempts playtesting).

==Description==
==Trivia==
*'''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.
*The level is free to copy.
*'''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.
*The level contains 220,723 objects.
*'''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.
*The level is 1m 38s in length.
*'''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.
*The level was initially placed at #3 on the [[Geometry Dash Demonlist|Demonlist]] on January 2, 2023, above [[Abyss of Darkness]] (#4) and below [[Slaughterhouse]] (#2).
*'''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.
**This addition to the Demonlist knocked [[Oblivion]] out of the Top 10, [[Spectrum Cyclone]] into the Extended List and Jamboree into the Legacy List.
*'''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.
***Coincidentally, [[Spectrum Cyclone]] and Jamboree are also two fully-solo levels, just like Kyouki.
*'''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 (狂気) translates to 'insanity' or 'madness' in Japanese.
*'''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.
*[[Zoink]] became the first victor of the level on December 11, 2022, after around 19,800+ attempts.<ref>https://youtu.be/g8iCSlLx-xE</ref>
*'''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|Slaughterhouse's]] mini-wave sections. It features many tight game-mode switches, culminating in a tight double-speed straight-fly section.
**He believes that the level should be Top 3-4 on the Demonlist.
*'''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.
*This is the second hardest featured level, after [[Acheron]].
*'''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.
*At over 500,000 attempts, Demishio's verification of this level is the highest amount of attempts currently spent on a verified project.
**Only Muffy450 and RaeveZ are known to have spent higher numbers of attempts to beat a level, as the former spent over 634,000 attempts to beat [[Sonic Wave]] and the latter over 564,000 attempts to beat Slaughterhouse.
*Kyouki is part of the community-made 'ASK Trilogy', along with Acheron and Slaughterhouse.

==Trivia==
*Kyouki was placed at #3 on the [[Demonlist (Pointercrate)|Demonlist]] on 2 January 2023, above [[Abyss of Darkness]] and below Slaughterhouse.
**This addition to the Demonlist pushed [[Sakupen Circles (Diamond)|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 was also the first level placed on the Demonlist in 2023.
*Kyouki is currently the hardest fully solo level.
*Kyouki was the former hardest level published by its verifier for almost three years. It was surpassed by [[Subsuming Vortex]] on 11 November 2025.
*Kyouki was ranked #96 in Geometry Dash Today's list of 'The Top 100 Greatest Geometry Dash Levels Of All Time'.
*The Japanese translation of kyouki (狂気), 'madness', and the level's description are derived from the song name 'Crazy'.
*Opinions on Kyouki's difficulty varied. While Demishio never intended the level to be Top 1, some skilled players, such as lolwut and Laniakea, believed it should have been placed at #1. The level's first victor, Zoink, thought the level was Top 3-4 in difficulty, while the second victor, Taiago, believed it should have been Top 2-3, and Trick believed that it should be placed above Slaughterhouse.
*Kyouki is part of the community-made 'ASK Trilogy', along with [[Acheron]] and Slaughterhouse.
*Kyouki was formerly both Japan's hardest created and beaten level simultaneously. Japan's current hardest Demon is [[Silent clubstep]], beaten by MeQ8cNv43s6A.
*Kyouki was 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.
