'''Psychosis''' is a [[Update 2.0|2.0]] Hard Demon level by Hinds. It is a high-intensity level that cemented Hinds' reputation for creating 'clean' but brutally difficult gameplay. It features gameplay reminiscent of [[Update 1.9]] despite being a 2.0 level. It is often described as the spiritual successor to Hinds' other hit, Firewall, sharing a similar colour-pulse aesthetic and dynamic gameplay, with heavy focus on ship control.

==Description==
The beginning of Psychosis is moderately difficult, requiring several tricks, precise timing, and straight-flying. The level becomes slightly harder near the drop as speed increases and more sequences are introduced. Each part has a specific game-mode:

*'''Cube:''' Quadruple/quintuple spikes at triple speed, mostly timing.
*'''Ship:''' Tight corridors with many gravity and size portals, and straight-flying.
*'''UFO:''' Tight spaces, several parts with spamming, and timing.
*'''Ball:''' Many spikes and orbs, mostly timing and memorisation.
*'''Wave:''' Somewhat tight spaces, size, and gravity portals, mostly timing.

The level ends with a simple yet annoying fast-paced cube section. It is very similar to Firewall's first one.

==Trivia==
*Psychosis was ranked #50 in GDToday's '100 Greatest Levels of All Time' list.
*The music for Psychosis was removed from Newgrounds because Acid-Notation was caught for sampling.
*A player named Joshua83 famously beat Psychosis with a heart rate monitor, recording a pulse of 208 BPM at the end, showing how much of a 'nerve-tester' the level is.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuOfQDjOFGE</ref>
*Going between the sawblades as the mini-wave at 61% will cause the text 'Noice ;>;' to appear.
*For years, Psychosis was rated an Insane Demon. It was eventually downgraded to a Hard Demon, a move that sparked massive debate in the community. Many players still consider it a mid-tier Insane Demon because of the sheer ship skill required.
*A friend suggested the name of the level, Psychosis, presumably for the song used.
