Gameplay
- 0-17%: The level starts with a simple cube section. Thrice in this section, the words “NOW WE BUSSIN’” form a staircase, at the end of which the player will be launched up. A laughing skull can be seen fading in and out in the background. Later on, the platforms start to catch fire, and the skull’s eyes start glowing red. Finally, the words “NOW WE” appear as the skull is consumed by the Venom symbiote.
- 17-27%: The level turns into a relatively simple spider section. In the background, Venom can be seen playing basketball, the ball having the word “NCS” on it. After Venom scores, the ball moves to the middle of the screen and turns into the NCS audio visualizer.
- 27-37%: The level shifts to a forest setting, with a werewolf ripping its shirt off and howling in front of the NCS audio visualizer. The gameplay consists of simple robot jumps. Various rocks with Greek letters can be seen floating around.
- 37-46%: The level turns into a UFO section set in space, with Rick Sanchez laughing in the background. Green portals can be seen around the place. At the end, the player enters one of these portals and reappears as a cube.
- 46-54%: A simple symmetrical cube dual follows. Shanks from One Piece can be seen in the background. At the end of the section, the player hits a green orb and crashes into a platform, after which the screen zooms into Shanks’s eye and subsequently cracks and falls apart.
- 54-63%: This section features a 3-dimensional Tesla Cybertruck in the background, with the license plate “BUSSIN’”. Various X (widely known as Twitter) posts and Dogecoins form the gameplay. Later, the head of Elon Musk and the X logo appear behind the truck. At the end, a top-down view of the truck is given as it swerves into the cube. The level suddenly stops, turns grayscale and zooms out to reveal the Instagram Reels interface. The text “Nah they made sigma in GD 💀” appears above the cube, which is now covered by a Trollge face. The user swipes down to another reel, which the next part takes place in.
- 63-71%: This section is played as the ball, and features the Bryan Cranston barbershop quartet in the background. The player traverses various drums and cymbals, while avoiding bouncing spiked balls. At the end, the player passes through a blue gravity portal as a skull and crossbones emoji appears, before transitioning into the next section.
- 71-80%: This part is a short bossfight against a nerd Gigachad. As the mini UFO, the player must avoid various horizontal shooting stars, indicated with red lines, while Gigachad changes poses. At the end, Gigachad smiles and his eyes start glowing, as the words “NOW WE” appear.
- 80-88%: The player turns into a ship and must avoid various floating red bones, which move back and forth. The skeletons from Berserk are watching from the background.
- 88-97%: The final section is another bossfight, this time against Patrick Bateman. The player must avoid various hearts floating left. Halfway through the fight, Patrick Bateman is replaced with the Arthur Fleck incarnation of the Joker, as various flickering images of the Joker briefly cover the borders of the screen.
- 97-100%: The endscreen starts with Leonardo DiCaprio holding a glass of wine, before he fades out. The level’s title is shown in the middle, with various credits around the top and bottom of the screen.
