In addition, many parts of the level became more chaotic, with Zimnyte saying that this level should become a Top 1 difficulty Demon.
From that moment on, the APTeam's version of the level was considered official. On 7 February 2019, APTeam released a mega-collaboration.

The final preview was released on 24 April 2021. It showed significant changes to gameplay and decorations, and the ball section was completely changed, along with gameplay before the ball, which was reverted to the ship. Apart from the ball, almost every part was decorated, with only optimization and bug fixes left to do.

This level was supposed to be verified by Combined; however, he later dropped the level, and DoSh7t became the new verifier. On 29 November 2021, DoSh7t verified the level in 12,000 attempts. In his opinion, this level is harder than Sonic Wave and Bloodlust but easier than kowareta.
On 11 December 2021, the level was rated, and on 4 January 2022, it was placed on the Demonlist.
Description
[edit | edit source]Cosmic Cyclone's gameplay is similar to its predecessor, Sonic Wave.
Cosmic Cyclone begins with a difficult red orb transition, followed by a green orb. Following that, there are more difficult jumps and transitions. The player then becomes a ship where they must fly through annoyingly tight spaces and diagonal pillars. After bouncing through a series of orbs and pads as a cube, the player becomes a ball, but unlike its predecessor, it runs at normal speed rather than half speed. In this section, the player must hit various orbs later and fit through small gaps between spikes, which is a hard section of the level.
After becoming a mini-dual like Sonic Wave, the player enters the infamous Nine Circles wave. However, unlike most Nine Circles levels, the speed is quadruple, contradicting the classic triple-speed feature. In the wave, the player navigates incredibly tight spaces and manoeuvres through gravity- and size portals at a high rate. Later, the player becomes a cube at double speed, maintaining the level's consistent difficulty with tight transitions off of orbs and incredibly difficult jumps.
The player enters the second wave, this time with various speed changes and more gravity and size portals. This part also requires fast but precise spamming in the dual sections. In the final part, the player reverts to being a cube again. However, the gameplay is overall memory-based, unlike the rest of the level.
After a brief rest, the player enters the final Nine Circles wave, maintaining the same difficulty as the previous two wave sections. The wave ends by spamming above the name 'APTEAM' as the end screen appears. At the end screen, the words 'Cosmic Cyclone' appear, followed by end credits showing the creator names, and finally, a very detailed piece of artwork depicting two planets ends the level.
