Quantum Processing is a 1.9-2.1 Extreme Demon collaboration level by Riot, Hinds, Zobros, and Sil3nce, verified by Rampage on 12 October 2017.[1] It is a super-buffed remake of the main level Blast Processing. Quantum Processing's difficulty derives from exceptionally tight spaces throughout the wave sections and intense straight-flying.
Gameplay
Quantum Processing begins with a cube section, with three difficult jumps over cogwheels and a yellow pad. Two orbs follow, and a gravity portal takes the player to another set of blue orbs with green orbs as traps to avoid. A jump and a blue orb timing take the player to another set of cogwheel jumps, then a blue orb leads into a mini-portal that quickly goes back to normal after a blue orb. A pink orb and a triple spike jump come next, and then an orb maze requiring memorising the correct orbs to hit to reach the wave segment coming up.
This wave segment is remarkably tight and will require maximum concentration to pass. The hazards are mostly built up of cogwheels and spans for quite a while before going dual. This dual is just as hard as the regular before, but it now contains some fake lining for the player to learn. At the end of this wave, it goes back to normal for the final spam before the next section. It is a tight ship sequence where the player must fly through four pillars to reach a timing ball segment with many difficult but similar timings and a sort of corridor. After this is a mini-ship section where the player must fly through another four pillars before another ball with a bunch of fake pads and orbs to avoid but also a bunch to hit. The ball ends with some timing, and the text 'GO!' appears.
Another wave segment appears here, quite similar in style to the first one, although cogwheels are not quite as threatening as in the previous wave segment. Instead, tighter spaces are the major obstacles. Similar to the wave before, it goes dual after a little bit and then back to regular, with little change to the gameplay style. Another change to dual comes next, this one lasting a little longer than before. The very last moments of the wave return to normal before approaching the next segment of the level. It is a cube with many timing jumps, featuring cogwheels, spikes, and orbs. Next up is a ball segment with some hard timings and some orbs mixed in as well. A UFO makes its first appearance, with some extreme timings between spikes everywhere. Gravity portals appear as well, along with a mini-portal at the very end. A cube segment with fake spikes follows after that, as well as many orb timings to learn.
Coming up is a very narrow ship sequence with multiple gravity portals to adapt to, followed by a ball segment with numerous orbs and slopes to go off of, some of which are fake, and the player must avoid them to pass through. Next comes a UFO with gravity portals and a handful of tight spaces scattered throughout, followed by a tight ship sequence with mixed gameplay between manoeuvring and straight-flying. The final part of the level is a cube section with many hard jumps, about three to five spikes wide, and blue orbs to time right. After this first half of the cube with fairly standard gameplay, a small maze of blocks and orbs appears as a final threat to the player, who must remember what blocks to jump from and what orbs to hit to avoid failing. Two jumps, one being a triple spike, will serve as the final jumps of the level, as 'YOU WIN' can be seen in the background while the level finishes with a yellow pad.
