Psychosis is a 2.0 solo Hard Demon level created, verified and published by Hinds. It features gameplay reminiscent of Update 1.9 despite being a 2.0 level. A friend suggested this level's name, probably for the song used. Due to its coloured style and dynamic gameplay, it can be defined as the second version of Firewall, even if it is slightly easier than the latter.
Gameplay[]
The beginning of this level is moderately difficult, involving several tricks, crucial timing, and straight-flying. The level becomes slightly harder near the drop when the speed increases and many sequences get introduced. Each part has a specific game-mode:
- Cube: Quadruple/quintuple spikes in triple speed, mostly timing.
- Ship: Tight corridors with many gravity and size portals, straight-flying.
- UFO: Tight spaces, several parts with mashing, and timing.
- Ball: Many spikes and orbs, mostly timing and memorization.
- Wave: Somewhat tight spaces, size, and gravity portals, mostly timing.
The level ends with a simple yet annoying fast-paced cube section. It is very similar to Firewall's first one.
