Unknown is a collaboration between Relayne and Muriday. It is 42 seconds long and was built only with features from Update 1.9 or before.
Description
Relayne created the first 52% of the level's gameplay and begins with a slow (0.5x) cube section with extremely difficult timing-based gameplay. The level then continues, speeding up to normal (1x) speed. The level utilizes many orbs placed inside spikes, requiring the inputs to be buffered. The decoration is entirely monochrome, featuring pulses and gray-colored glow objects to create a dark atmosphere. The block design uses minimal detail, being primarily black, with gray outlines. The gameplay is complex (given the editor's limitations in 1.9), combining gravity portals, orbs, and hitbox abuse. The next part, the first ship, includes short, tight straightfly sections while managing to have varied gameplay. The level then transitions into a relatively easy cube section, slows down to slow (0.5x) speed, setting up the transition to the bass drop.
The bass drop spikes in difficulty in a triple (3x) speed wave section. This section alternates between double (2x) and triple (3x) speed. The pulsing becomes much more intense (like the music), while the structures are more connected, and are much larger individually. The difficulty of this part comes from the tight wave corridors and repeated, consistent clicks. The next ship section continues, still with alternating speed changes. Relayne's part ends with a short mini-cube, which flashes hand-drawn line art on top of the block design.
At 53%, Muriday's part slows down to double (2x) speed, transitioning into a tight ball section. The next part slows down further to normal (1x) speed, into a miniwave. The block design is black, camouflaging it. To account for it, Muriday added white, spike-like objects, marking the path the player is intended to take. The level then has a ship section in triple (3x) speed, with the decoration and gameplay in a largely similar style to what is seen before in the level. A tight striaghtfly helps transition into a chokeable, slow (0.5x) speed wave part that gradually speeds up to double (2x) speed. After the mini cube/ship section immediately after, the level enters one final triple (3x) speed miniwave, with similar decoration to the normal (1x) speed miniwave seen earlier. The level finally ends in a normal (1x) speed cube section, where the player has to perform a triple spike jump, but landing on the edge of the third and holding, to dodge the yellow pad that will bounce the player into a spike.
Gameplay
Trivia
- Unknown was created in around 4 days, the creators stating that it was exceptionally easy to decorate, primarily due to its short length (42s).
- Unknown is only possible in 240Hz; it contains a lot of 240Hz frame perfects, not just one or two.
- The current world record for Unknown is 39%, achieved by EmpanadR on Nov 11, 2025.
- Unknown was made only with features available in the 1.9 editor.
- This level was infamous for receiving many remakes, redecorations, and non-serious silent versions (ranging from "Silent Unknown" by spkgmd and more, to "Silent Silent Silent Silent Unknown" by lexy).
