*'''0-15%:''' The first section begins with a challenging cube, followed by a short robot and ball sequence. The gamemode then switches back to the cube, with music that is often timed to clicks. The gameplay now blends cube and ship with dash orbs. This section ends with several jumps over triple spikes and the alternating 'Better Call Saul' sign .

*'''15-35%:''' The design of the level changes significantly, with the drop starting at maximum, followed by two UFO clicks on orbs. Player briefly turns into a wave, where after flying between obstacles, they must click on an orb, and the game mode changes. A varied and very fast-paced sequence of gameplay follows.

*'''35-54%:''' Gray becomes the dominant color in this part of the level, with different shades of this colour making it really beautiful. The player is now a ship, and must perform complex straight-fly with additional difficulties. The game-modes change very quickly again, but the speed of the level has calmed down a bit. The main difficulty in this section is precise timing with rapidly changing patterns, with the player sometimes having to click along with the music, with effects such as bright flashes and lasers that add to the vibe of the gameplay. This section ends with a short mini-ship straight-fly.

The second is ship with tricky straight-fly, which also has to watchout for black orbs, increasing the difficulty of this section. In the fourth segment, the player has to navigate the very challenging wave, similar to the difficulty of [[Sakupen Circles]]. This section ends with a cube with several clicks that has to jump over triple spikes.
