KOSETSU
Template:Infobox Level KOSETSU is a 2.1/2.2 Extreme Demon mega-collaboration level hosted and published by ffwe, and verified by Taiago on 25 August 2024.[1] It is a uniquely snow/ice themed level featuring often-changing gamemodes and speed, which it has been praised for. The gameplay of the level seems to be partially inspired by Congregation and Slaughterhouse, and its music is a great addition to the winter theme. It also features drastic colour changes and various brief 'glitches'.
The level, thought short, offers a great experience for those who attempt it.
Gameplay
- 0-19%: KOSETSU begins with the player being required to precisely hit the orbs with complex timings. At the end, the player must hit the blue orb to land. Afterwards, a short and remarkably beautiful animation occurs.
- 19-49%: The player has to do some complex timings, featuring cube, UFO, robot, and then spider, accompanied by significantly tight ship and wave sections. The screen begins to darken, creating an atmosphere of tension.
- 49-57%: The level reaches its climax, becoming especially challenging. The player has to face tight sections with straight-fly.
- 57-81%: The player enters a short and fairly challenging ball section, having to make a few precise cube clicks that lead up to the wave game-mode. After narrow wave passages, ship section arrives, where the player must not click the two black orbs. Next comes robot mode, then one precise tiny-wave click a challenging timing cube with orbs. The player must now click three times on orbs as a ball, later entering a challenging and spam-demanding spider section. The last in this section are two precise UFO clicks.
- 81-100%: The final section, which starts with a narrow wave, followed by a short ball timing section, UFO, a tight ship, and the final cube triple spikes jumps. Finally, a beautiful ending sequence with the level's title appears.
