WOW is a 2.1 Extreme Demon mega-collaboration hosted and published by TrusTa and originally verified by npesta on April 23, 2019. Dragoon reverified the level after a balance update on June 25, 2021. It is known for its unique spam-based gameplay. TrusTa created all the gameplay, and some creators helped him decorate some parts. TrusTa was originally set to verify the level, but he dropped it and handed it over to npesta.

History

On August 15, 2017, TrusTa uploaded a video simply titled 'wow'. It showed the beginning of a layout created by him. It gained some attention, and people quickly praised it for its hyper-actively fast-paced gameplay and unique song.

About a month later, on September 16, 2017, TrusTa uploaded the full layout to YouTube, showing the rest of the fast gameplay and song. In the description, it showed the team for decorating the level. It had some decently well-known creators such as Loogiah, Vlacc, Dudex, ChaSe, Namtar, Codex and Aquatias.

Pennutoh released a video showcasing his finished decoration at the beginning of the level on November 12, 2017. It featured lots of colour flashes and was overall rainbow-themed.

On December 3, 2017, TrusTa released an official preview of the level, showcasing the aforementioned decoration by Pennutoh and some new, never-before-seen gloomy rainbow decorations by ChaSe during one of the slower parts of the level. Also, the video description revealed the new decoration crew of the level, with it consisting of Pennutoh, ChaSe, Failure444, SlimJim and Marwec.

Marwec released his decoration of the level on Christmas Day 2017, being the last part. It has similar decoration and a similar style to that of Pennutoh. After a period of inactivity regarding the level, Salaxium released two videos on March 12 and 13, 2018, both of which showed SlimJim's unfinished decoration.

On June 22, 2018, Failure444 released a video showcasing the finished decoration of his part of the level. In the video description, he stated that his part contains about 45,000 objects. Five months later on December 24, 2018, Splash released the end logo of the level, which he and ChaSe worked on.

On February 12, 2019, TrusTa began verification of WOW and achieved 22%. In the video description, he stated that this would be the final thing he does in his career. One week later, on February 19, 2019, he made a start position run of 34-82%, thus mastering the spam parts. However, about a month later, on March 22, 2019, TrusTa dropped WOW and passed it to npesta, who quickly achieved 31% on the same day. The next day, npesta achieved a start position run of 62-100%, thus mastering the spam parts. Sometime later, on April 5, 2019, he achieved a great start position run of 30-100%. Just four days later, on April 9, 2019, he got an astounding record of 66%. Two days later, on April 11, 2019, he got an incredible record of 88%. Then, eleven days later, on April 22, 2019, he verified the level on stream.

Gameplay

• 0-17% (Pennutoh): The level starts during the buildup to the drop with an auto cube section with some orbs required to hit. At the drop is some extremely fast-paced triple-speed gameplay that contains tons of spamming, straight-fly, timings and more.
• 18-30% (ChaSe): Next, the song and gameplay slow down. Starting at single-speed, then half-speed, the part contains some cube and robot sections requiring some timing. When the speed increases to double-speed, the gameplay begins as a brief straight-fly, followed by a cube section with many orbs. A long and tricky ship sequence with varying gravity and sizes is next, with a one-jump cube right after that.
• 31-44% (Disp): Afterwards, the music speeds back up. It starts with more spamming and timing-based fast-paced gameplay, this time at double-speed. A triple-speed ship sequence mainly consisting of a straight-fly is next, with a fast-paced near-auto cube coming right after.
• 45-61% (Failure444): When the music speeds up, the gameplay does too, with some fast triple-speed gameplay with many orbs and portals forcing the player to use pixel-perfect timing while also in a spamming fashion.
• 62-82% (SlimJim): The next section features gameplay very different from other parts. It contains lots of 'spam counters'. Here, the player must spam their mouse more than the amount of the original number on the counter to pass the part. There are many of them here, and this part may be tricky for some players.
• 83-94% (Marwec): The final part features similar spamming, timing and skill-based gameplay from earlier in the level, along with some swing copter sections at the beginning.
• 95-100% (ChaSe + Splash): Afterwards, the player enters an auto half-speed cube section with the end logo. Then, the level ends.

• The level is the first collaboration hosted by TrusTa.
• After it was originally released, many people thought this level would not get rated because it was an April Fools' joke level before it was released, and many people actually beat that. So if it got rated many players would get 500 orbs, 10 stars and a free Demon.

• npesta, being the verifier of this level, felt bad for some of the bugs that other players ran into that he did not. Therefore, he did not fix the bugs due to being able to one-hand jitter-click, as he said in his Extreme Demon Tier List video.
• Biprex has a mobile record of 79% on WOW, fluking from 40%.
• The movement of Chromatic Haze from #151 to #141 on March 14, 2023, knocked WOW into the Legacy List of the Demonlist.
