*'''0-10%:''' Jigsaw begins with a difficult cube sequence consisting of timing-based jumps where the player must precisely hit orbs to pass through an otherwise narrow gap or perform precise jumps to pass through the claustrophobic gaps. The text 'Prove that you're worth something' is also seen. The player then changes into a robot, where this sequence utilizes many of the timed jumps from the previous sequence.
*'''10-22%:''' The player then transitions into a ship sequence, during which they must pass a moderately difficult straight-fly tunnel. The text 'Redefine your priorities' appears on the right side. Next is a brief cube sequence featuring memorization, and lastly, a timed jump in which the player must precisely clear a diagonally facing gap to avoid hitting the slopes. A spike jump and a blue orb follow. After hitting the blue orb, the player gets teleported below and enters a wave sequence. The player must immediately hold the green dash orb to pass a very tight spike tunnel before switching to a mini-robot, which primarily focuses on corner and timed jumps because the platform is minuscule and requires careful timing. The player then switches to a cube and must hit the green orb behind it. The level's name and Jigsaw's famous quote 'I want to play a game' as well as Yoonsr's name appear before transitioning to the next section.
*'''22-31%:''' The drop of the song begins, and the player must now undergo a series of fast-paced gameplay: starting with a cube sequence where they must first hit the pink dash orb to gain a jump boost to switch to a UFO consisting of gravity changes and orb inputs before switching to cube utilizing gravity changes and teleport portals. Then the player enters a ship sequence that requires a slightly bent straight-fly. The player then enters a ship-and-mini-ball mixed dual. The player must primarily focus on the ship as the mini-ball is auto. The part then ends with a brief yet difficult spider sequence.
*'''31-41%:''' The following section goes in order: the player enters a brief auto cube sequence, then a ball sequence consisting of three timed inputs, and then a difficult wave sequence where they must consistently spam to traverse an otherwise tight section due to the numerous spikes and sawblades very close around one another. The player then enters a brief UFO sequence requiring three timed jumps, similar to the previous ball sequence. A ball-and-cube mixed dual follows. In this dual, the player must hit both black and green orbs in unison before entering a brief cube-and-ship sequence. Afterwards, the player enters a UFO sequence in which they must hit two green orbs.
*'''41-49%:''' The player then enters a short robot sequence with the sole purpose of jumping through a ship portal, followed by a continuous cycle of a wave and a UFO cycling in between a brief robot-and-ball sequence. The screen then fades black, revealing a digital timer.
*'''49-57%:''' The player enters a short cube sequence consisting of two timed orb inputs, followed by a brief dual-UFO sequence, then a ball sequence consisting of a black orb input to enter another brief cube sequence. Between the two cube sequences, there is a brief mini-wave sequence. After that, the player must enter a difficult wave sequence to reach a green dash orb with a cube portal. The screen fades black to transition to the next sequence. During this transition, an animated human jaw can be heard screaming before transforming into 'Billy the Puppet'.
*'''57-66%:''' The screen flashes white, followed by a difficult cube sequence almost exclusively featuring orb timings, followed by a brief yet troublesome mixed dual consisting of a cube and a wave. The text 'See what I see' can also be seen. The screen then flashes black, with [[Bli|Bli's]] name visible, followed again by a brief cube sequence that uses the same gameplay as the previous one, then an orb-timing-based UFO sequence, and lastly, a cube sequence where the player must hold a green dash orb.
*'''66-74%:''' As a cube, the player enters two gravity portals, transferring them to a series of difficult orb inputs. The text 'Feel what I feel' appears in the background, followed by a spam-based mini-wave sequence. The player then enters a cube sequence, where they must pass through a tight gap by hitting two blue orbs and a red orb, sending them into a brief UFO sequence.
*'''74-83%:''' The player must hit a pink dash orb to enter a fairly difficult mini-wave sequence consisting of consistently spamming to traverse around the spiky platforms before entering a normal-size portal where they must avoid a spiky slope platform to follow a short dual-ship sequence consisting of straight-flying. The text 'Save as I save' is visible. Afterwards, the player must enter a teleport portal, switching to a ball, utilizing peculiar slope timings. The gravity and orbs suddenly appear in an attempt to catch the player off-guard before ending the sequence with two timed inputs as a spider. An animated cutscene in which the player, as a cube, is sent into a hallway plays to prepare for the next sequence.
*'''83-91%:''' The final section consists of a memorization-based wave sequence where gravity portals will rotate around a circular platform to disorient the player. The text 'Final test' appears before transitioning to a brief dual-ball sequence utilizing slope jumps and orb timings. Lastly, one must pass one more spam-heavy mini-wave sequence before performing a difficult cube jump, as the text 'GAME OVER' spontaneously appears on the screen, obstructing the player's viewpoint.
*'''91-100%:''' An animated end credits where the hosts and verified involved in the level are projected on a television. The texts 'I see you' and 'Wake up' appear on the screen before the level fades black. The level ends with a red spiral symbol, a defining characteristic of Billy the Puppet.

==Gameplay==
*'''0-10%''': Jigsaw begins with a difficult cube part consisting of timing-based jumps where the player must precisely input on the orbs to pass through an otherwise narrow gap or perform precise jumps to pass through the claustrophobic gaps of the section. The texts "Prove that you're worth something" is also seen. The player then changes into a robot which utilises many of the timed jumps the previous cube part has.
{{VC|MaJqi-XV2y4}}
*'''10-15%''': The player then transitions into ship mode, during which they must pass a moderately difficult straight-fly tunnel. The text "Redefine your priorities" can be seen on the right side of the level. This is followed by a brief cube mode featuring memorisation and lastly, a timed jump where the player must jump precisely over a diagonally facing gap to avoid hitting the slopes. This is followed by a spike jump and a blue orb.
*'''16-21%''': After hitting the blue orb, the player is then teleported below to switch to a wave mode. The player must immmediately hold the green dash orb to pass a very tight spike tunnel before switching to a mini robot, which primarily focuses on corner and timed jumps due to the platform being miniscule, forcing the player to carefully time their jump. The player then switches to a cube mode and must click the green orb behind it. The level's name and Jigsaw's famous quote "I want to play a game" as well as Yoonsr's name will appear before transitioning to the next section.
* '''22-31%''': The drop of the song starts and the player must now undergo a series of fast-paced gameplay: starting with a cube where they must first hit the purple dash orb to gain a jump boost to switch to a UFO mode consisting of gravity changes and orb clicks before switching to cube utilising gravity changes and teleportation portals. Then, they will enter a ship part requiring slightly-bent straight-fly. The player then enters a mixed dual mode of ship and mini ball. The player must primarily focus on the ship mode as the mini ball is auto. The part then ends with a brief yet difficult spider segment.
*'''32-40%''': The next segment goes in order: the player goes into a brief auto cube, then a ball mode consisting of three timed jumps, then a difficult wave mode where the player must consistently spam their inputs to traverse an otherwise tight section due to the numerous spikes and saw-blades very close around one another. The player then goes to a brief UFO mode consisting of three timed jumps, similar to the previous ball section. This is followed by a mixed dual of ball and cube. In this dual mode, the player must simply click both black and green orbs in unison before entering a brief cube and ship section. Afterwards, the player enters a UFO mode in which they must simply click two green orbs.
*'''41-49%%''': The player then enters a very short robot mode with the sole purpose of jumping through a ship portal, which is followed by a continuous cycle of wave and UFO modes cycling in between a brief robot and ball mode. The screen then fades to black and a digital timer can be seen.
*'''49-56%''': The player enters a short cube mode consisting of two timed orb jumps, followed by a very brief dual UFO mode, then a ball mode consisting of a black orb jump to enter an another brief cube mode. Between the two cube mode, there is a brief mini wave. After that, the player must enter a difficult wave section in order to reach a green dash orb with a cube portal. The screen fades to black to transition to the next segment. In this transition, an animated human jaw can be heard screaming before transforming into [[w:c:saw:Billy the Puppet|Billy the Puppet]].
*'''57-65%''': The screen flashes to white, followed by a difficult cube segment almost exclusively featuring orb timings then followed by a brief yet troublesome mixed dual consisting of cube and wave modes. The texts "See what I see" also can be seen. The screen then flashes into black with [[bli]]'s name can be seen. Then followed again by a brief cube mode which follows the same gameplay as with the previous cube segment, then an orb-timing based UFO part, lastly a cube mode where the player must simply hold a green dash orb.
*'''66-73%''': The player's cube goes at two gravity portals, transferring them to a series of difficult orb jumps. The texts "Feel what I feel" appears in the background then followed by a spam-based mini wave mode. The player then goes into a cube mode which they must pass through a tight gap by clicking two blue orbs and a red orb, sending them to a brief UFO mode.
*'''74-83%''': The player must hit a purple dash orb to enter a fairly difficult mini wave part consisting of consistently spamming their input to traverse around the spiky platforms before entering a normal size portal where they must avoid a spiky slope platform to follow a short dual ship segment consisting of straight fly. The texts "Save as I save" can be seen. Afterwards, the player must enter a teleportation portal, switching to a ball mode, utilising peculiar slope timings similar to the ones in [[Forsaken Neon]]. The gravity and orbs will suddenly appear in an attempt to catch the player off-guard before ending the segment with a two timed jumps with a spider mode. An animated cutscene where the player's cube will be sent to a hallway plays to prepare for the next segment.
*'''84-91%''': The final section consists of a memorisation-based wave mode where gravity portals will rotate around a circular platform to disorient the player. The text "Final test" appears before transitioning to a brief dual ball mode utilising slope jumps and orb timings. Lastly one must pass one more spam-heavy mini wave part before performing a difficult cube jump due to the texts "GAME OVER" spontaneously appearing on the screen to obstruct the player's viewpoint.

Jigsaw is a 2.1/2.2 Extreme Demon mega-collaboration level hosted by Nekon, verified by Gokill on 2 October 2023.[1] It is a learny, high-CPS level themed around the Saw franchise, centred on the main villain, John Kramer, also known as 'The Jigsaw Killer'. The level is themed around the franchise's infamous torture rooms, featuring an intimidating atmosphere of both desolation and horror. It features overwhelming realism and effects, with an abundance of sharp objects and edgy text throughout. It is particularly memorable for its clean transitions and background effects.

History

[edit | edit source]

The first mention of the level dates back to 19 April, around the time Nekon began working on his new project, Jigsaw, and released the level's first trailer, hinting at its tentative theme: the Saw horror film franchise.[2] Just six days later, on 25 April, he revealed the full layout of the level.[3] Nekon informed that Gokill would be the one to verify the level once fully decorated. Nekon decided to decorate one section of the level himself, which he showed on his channel on 20 June,[4] but BlasterRobotz's part would later replace it. On 3 December, the second trailer for the level was released, with most of the layout already decorated.[5]

2023

[edit | edit source]

On 27 February, Nekon published the final trailer for Jigsaw, promising a full showcase soon.[6] By 30 April, the level was fully completed.[7] Nekon confirmed Gokill to be the level's verifier, and gave honours to all of his friends and people who helped him with the project of Jigsaw.

Verification

Gokill's first verification progress video was uploaded on 2 September 2023, when he achieved a record of 48%.[8] On 26 September, he improved his record to 71% with about 17,500 attempts, stating that the level's difficulty is close to that of Zodiac.[9] On 30 September, he did a 31-91% run.[10] Gokill finally verified the level on 2 October, with exactly one month of play, about 25,000 attempts, and two crashes at 89%.[11]

Description

[edit | edit source]
  • 0-10%: Jigsaw begins with a difficult cube sequence consisting of timing-based jumps where the player must precisely hit orbs to pass through an otherwise narrow gap or perform precise jumps to pass through the claustrophobic gaps. The text 'Prove that you're worth something' is also seen. The player then changes into a robot, where this sequence utilizes many of the timed jumps from the previous sequence.
  • 10-22%: The player then transitions into a ship sequence, during which they must pass a moderately difficult straight-fly tunnel. The text 'Redefine your priorities' appears on the right side. Next is a brief cube sequence featuring memorization, and lastly, a timed jump in which the player must precisely clear a diagonally facing gap to avoid hitting the slopes. A spike jump and a blue orb follow. After hitting the blue orb, the player gets teleported below and enters a wave sequence. The player must immediately hold the green dash orb to pass a very tight spike tunnel before switching to a mini-robot, which primarily focuses on corner and timed jumps because the platform is minuscule and requires careful timing. The player then switches to a cube and must hit the green orb behind it. The level's name and Jigsaw's famous quote 'I want to play a game' as well as Yoonsr's name appear before transitioning to the next section.
  • 22-31%: The drop of the song begins, and the player must now undergo a series of fast-paced gameplay: starting with a cube sequence where they must first hit the pink dash orb to gain a jump boost to switch to a UFO consisting of gravity changes and orb inputs before switching to cube utilizing gravity changes and teleport portals. Then the player enters a ship sequence that requires a slightly bent straight-fly. The player then enters a ship-and-mini-ball mixed dual. The player must primarily focus on the ship as the mini-ball is auto. The part then ends with a brief yet difficult spider sequence.
  • 31-41%: The following section goes in order: the player enters a brief auto cube sequence, then a ball sequence consisting of three timed inputs, and then a difficult wave sequence where they must consistently spam to traverse an otherwise tight section due to the numerous spikes and sawblades very close around one another. The player then enters a brief UFO sequence requiring three timed jumps, similar to the previous ball sequence. A ball-and-cube mixed dual follows. In this dual, the player must hit both black and green orbs in unison before entering a brief cube-and-ship sequence. Afterwards, the player enters a UFO sequence in which they must hit two green orbs.
  • 41-49%: The player then enters a short robot sequence with the sole purpose of jumping through a ship portal, followed by a continuous cycle of a wave and a UFO cycling in between a brief robot-and-ball sequence. The screen then fades black, revealing a digital timer.
  • 49-57%: The player enters a short cube sequence consisting of two timed orb inputs, followed by a brief dual-UFO sequence, then a ball sequence consisting of a black orb input to enter another brief cube sequence. Between the two cube sequences, there is a brief mini-wave sequence. After that, the player must enter a difficult wave sequence to reach a green dash orb with a cube portal. The screen fades black to transition to the next sequence. During this transition, an animated human jaw can be heard screaming before transforming into 'Billy the Puppet'.
  • 57-66%: The screen flashes white, followed by a difficult cube sequence almost exclusively featuring orb timings, followed by a brief yet troublesome mixed dual consisting of a cube and a wave. The text 'See what I see' can also be seen. The screen then flashes black, with Bli's name visible, followed again by a brief cube sequence that uses the same gameplay as the previous one, then an orb-timing-based UFO sequence, and lastly, a cube sequence where the player must hold a green dash orb.
  • 66-74%: As a cube, the player enters two gravity portals, transferring them to a series of difficult orb inputs. The text 'Feel what I feel' appears in the background, followed by a spam-based mini-wave sequence. The player then enters a cube sequence, where they must pass through a tight gap by hitting two blue orbs and a red orb, sending them into a brief UFO sequence.
  • 74-83%: The player must hit a pink dash orb to enter a fairly difficult mini-wave sequence consisting of consistently spamming to traverse around the spiky platforms before entering a normal-size portal where they must avoid a spiky slope platform to follow a short dual-ship sequence consisting of straight-flying. The text 'Save as I save' is visible. Afterwards, the player must enter a teleport portal, switching to a ball, utilizing peculiar slope timings. The gravity and orbs suddenly appear in an attempt to catch the player off-guard before ending the sequence with two timed inputs as a spider. An animated cutscene in which the player, as a cube, is sent into a hallway plays to prepare for the next sequence.
  • 83-91%: The final section consists of a memorization-based wave sequence where gravity portals will rotate around a circular platform to disorient the player. The text 'Final test' appears before transitioning to a brief dual-ball sequence utilizing slope jumps and orb timings. Lastly, one must pass one more spam-heavy mini-wave sequence before performing a difficult cube jump, as the text 'GAME OVER' spontaneously appears on the screen, obstructing the player's viewpoint.
  • 91-100%: An animated end credits where the hosts and verified involved in the level are projected on a television. The texts 'I see you' and 'Wake up' appear on the screen before the level fades black. The level ends with a red spiral symbol, a defining characteristic of Billy the Puppet.
