Levels - Another-Soul/NoxOS GitHub Wiki
In NoxOS, Levels are the only way a player can get points or progress towards unlocking new operating systems. The only way of accessing the levels is via the Start menu, by pressing the "Load game" button. So far there are three gamemodes ("Notify", "Notify Hard", "Notify Intense") where circles called "Notifications" appear and flash for a bit before spawning a segment directed to the same rotation as the arrow. Before v0.2.2, the timings for speed, notification flash and between notifications were static. v0.2.2 introduced changed (and harder) timings that depend on the level and max out at level 26. In Notify Hard, there is a 8% chance for two notifications spawning at the same time. In Notify Intense, there is a 12.25% chance to spawn two, and 5.25% to spawn three notifications at the same time.

The levels also feature 3 types of segments.
- Blue: Add 5% to the progress bar percentage. Besides that, blue segments also award ((level * 1000) / 20) score upon completing the level.
- Yellow: Same as blue, except they don't add any points.
- Red: Catching it causes the game to freeze for 1.5 seconds before TES pops up on the screen.
After the level, you can get score from bonuses. There are a total of 5 scoring bonuses, those being:
- "Progress points": Can go up to maximum of (1000 * level), depends on blue segment amount. Every blue segment present in the progress bar as of completing a level gives 5% of that amount of points.
- "Current system": A bonus that entirely depends on the OS the level was beaten in. 300 points in NoxUI 09.I and 600 points in NoxUI 09.II.
- "Perfectionist": If the progress bar is entirely filled with blue segments, additional 1200 points would be awarded (independent of anything else).
- "Reversed perfectionist": Same as above, except this bonus is awarded for yellow instead of blue segments (and awards 1800 points).
- "Gamemode": Based on one of the three gamemodes: Notify, Notify Hard and Notify Intense. Notify doesn't affect score (x1 multiplier), Notify Hard has a x1.4 (+40%) score multiplier and the last gamemode, Notify Intense, has a x1.9 (+90%) score multiplier.
