****Killbot**** is a 2.1 Extreme Demon created by Lithifusion and verified and published by BoldStep. The level is heavily memory-based and contains tons of fake objects and trap orbs. Like Digital Death, it is a code/digital-themed level. It uses red for virus and green for normal. It also has LDM, added by BoldStep. It remained unrated for a while, but it was finally rated after over a month.

## History

The first preview of Killbot was uploaded by Lithifusion on June 15, 2017. In the video description, he said that he plans for the level to have lots of tricks and deception in it, as well as many disturbing messages. Back then, DollarC was accepting extreme demons to his channel and featuring the best ones. Lithifusion sent Killbot to DollarC, who was so amazed that he immediately uploaded the video on his channel. Since that time, DollarC had a huge fan-base. Many people considered the level "God Eater-tier" meaning a rival for the title of the best level ever. On September 6, Cove won the Killbot song contest, changing the in-game song to Sweet Dreams.

After the final preview, Chillius was chosen to verify Killbot. After Chillius was inactive on the level, Sylz was then chosen, who went on to achieve a new best of 23%. After only one stream, however, he decided to quit due to Hurricane Irma. Then, Lithifusion chose Antares as the new verifier, who super-buffed it and achieved 45%. However, he quit as well due to school starting up again for him. Because of this, BoldStep took over the verification, who removed most of Antares' buffs since they made the level ridiculously inconsistent. Furthermore, he added an LDM to reduce the lag he was experiencing. He finally verified this level on November 3, 2018, in one of BlackWolfJake's live streams.

However, on September 12, 2018, Zylenox verified the super-buffed version of Killbot that Antares was once set to verify (which Antares uploaded recently). It took him a staggering 38,358 attempts. However, he altered the truth in the video description, saying that he buffed it back and uploaded it due to SrGulliester beating the layout of the unbuffed version on the same day.

## Gameplay

The level starts with a mini ball segment with sudden speed changes and difficult timings. Then it changes to a mini spider segment that has the same styled game-play as the ball part. Throughout these two segments, the player can see the Killbot installing in the background. Then it turns into an auto cube section representing the downloading of the Killbot. After that, the music beat drops, and the player enters a triple-speed cube section that is very similar to a part in Fake A Doom that also involves a ball spam part. After that, a three-second-long auto section comes next. After that, a wave - mini UFO dual comes next which is very confusing due to the abrupt and frequent red flashes. Then you play a ball - cube dual that uses the same confusing effects as the last dual. Then you turn into a wave - ball dual that, again, uses the same confusing effects as the last two dual segments.

Then you turn into a wave - cube dual that lasts for 4-5 seconds, and then it turns into a 3-4 second auto segment. After that, you play as a robot - cube dual involving straight-up memory to pass due to its simple gameplay and confusing effects. After that, you play as a ball - spider dual that utilizes the same gameplay and effects as the last dual. After that, you play an extremely difficult ship sequence that involves very tight spaces, a lot of orbs blocking the way, and infrequent straight-fly to make it more difficult. After that, you play as a mini UFO that uses a lot of flashes, tight paths, and an upside-down portal to make you die at the last part. The entire UFO section has extremely good sync with the music, so it is possible to do this part with little practice if one is attentive enough. Then, the level ends with an auto cube section with the word Killbot appearing, and the credits and "thanks" afterward, as well as a list of dedications.

## Trivia

* The original song for Killbot, a sped-up version of Killbot by Devin Martin uploaded by DJFrankReturn, was deleted from Newgrounds during the level's verification time due to one player noticing its truth, forcing Lithifusion to choose a new song for the level.
	+ The new song for Killbot was chosen to be Sweet Dreams, as announced by Lithifusion. However, BoldStep used the old song in his video by downloading and editing the files.
* The level uses more than 82,000 objects, which is why it exceeds the limit of the number of objects in the level at the time of creation (the maximum number of objects in Update 2.1 is 80,000).
* The level was first going to be verified by Sylz. However, it was passed onto Antares, who super-buffed this level, making it extremely inconsistent. When BoldStep took over, however, he reverted most of these buffs to its original form. This made some people say it made this level slightly disappointing due to it not getting higher on the Demon List due to these "nerfs".
	+ Antares decided to upload his super-buffed version himself in August 2018, and Zylenox beat it legitimately on September 12, 2018.
* Sunix became the first to beat the level after BoldStep on November 10, 2017.
* If you go to the bottom of the level at the drop and look below it, you can find a message from BoldStep which says, "Optimised by BoldStep. You're welcome." There is also a smiley face made of spikes with more spike text which says, "I'm fat!" There is also a fidget spinner at the bottom of the map, made when fans asked Lithifusion to build it during a stream.
* Killbot is inspired by Chaotic Machine.
* Lithifusion also released a sequel for Killbot, called Killbot 1.5, also known as Requiem, which was verified by Zylenox.
* This is WHERwin's least favorite Extreme Demon.
