Gameplay
Note that only decorators will be mentioned in this section.
- 0-16% (Yuko): The level starts with an extremely tricky green ring jump timing. In addition, this part of the level is at double speed and has gravity portals that can confuse the player. After a few seconds, the speed slows down, the music calms down, and the player enters a ship sequence with a tight space and several jump rings.
- 17-27% (XLSpiral): After that, the music becomes more intense, the next mini-cube also has a dash orb, and the timings become harder. Next is a short mini-ball with timings, which will become a cube, which changes size, and then a very difficult ship, which will soon become smaller.
- 28-46% (EndLevel): After that, the player must prepare for the drop because everything is present in this gameplay, so this level is considered more difficult, even than Bloodlust: tiny parts, hard timings, as well as unstable speed are a sign of tremendous complexity. This extreme part begins as a cube, a mini-ship with a narrow space, a very tight mini-wave with a bunch of portals for switching gravity, and a ship with hard timings and straight flying. The complexity does not decrease, and further on the player awaits the unbearably difficult fan-made swing copter, along with a dual spider and a cube, which will turn into a ship. After that, there is another cube with timings like in Plasma Pulse Finale and a narrow passage to a UFO. Later, the player is waited for by unrealistically difficult timings in some ship sequences along with a UFO, and then the player is met with a wave that will change size at some point, an extreme cube section along with straight flying as a ship, a few cube timings, and finally, a brief ship corridor.
- 47-64% (Deadlox):
- 65-80% (ARtu):
- 81-91% (Minaxa):
- 92-100% (ViRuZ):
