Level Editor

An official level editor by PITR, codenamed "Tundra", is currently in development and closed testing, in conjunction with a fork of ULTRAKILL with the ability to open custom maps, codenamed "Agony". Due to the inherent instability of a codebase in active development, it will not see a public release until ULTRAKILL is complete. An update to this editor, codenamed "Rude", is currently released and can have access requested, alongside a public level loader codenamed "Angry".

Trivia

• Similarly to how Devil May Cry alludes to Dante's Divine Comedy, ULTRAKILL's levels are based on the "Nine circles of Hell" described in Inferno.
• Most of ULTRAKILL's levels seem to follow a common naming scheme, being named after Musical acts, Idioms, or Books. Examples of such are below.
  • [ 4-2: GOD DAMN THE SUN ] Is a reference to the Swans song of the same name
  • [ P-2: WAIT OF THE WORLD ] Is a play on "Weight of the World," an Idiom often used to describe an extreme burden or responsibility
  • [ 7-1: GARDEN OF FORKING PATHS ] is a reference to the short story of the same name by Jorge Luis Borges
    • Interestingly enough, outside of Secret Levels, only one level does not follow this naming scheme, that being [ 0-5: CERBERUS ]
• Every layer seems to share a pattern. The first and second level introduces new enemies, the third level is a gauntlet that tests you with everything you have encountered up to that layer, and the final level is the boss fight. Lust, for whatever reason, doesn't follow this pattern, the "gauntlet" level being the first, and the latter two introducing enemies instead.
• If you get out of bounds and fall into the void at any point, the game will spawn you back to the last room you were in with the message "Whoops, sorry about that."
• As of Ultra_Revamp update, 0-E has by far the highest style requirements, needing an incredible 48,000 points for a P-Rank.
• 1-4 has the lowest style requirement, only needing a measly 600 points for a P-Rank.
• The skybox of each level and cyber grind is constantly rotating with the exception being 7-3 where the sky box doesn't rotate.
• The entrance to a normal level is red, while secret levels are black, prime levels are silver, and encore levels are blue.
• Missions and Prime Sanctums unlocked at a higher difficulty are also made available on all difficulties below it, to make switching to an easier difficulty more convenient for players who have made progress before realizing the difficulty is too high for them. Secret levels, on the other hand, are unlocked for all difficulties at once upon discovery, though their corresponding Act pages must be accessible first.
• The Tundra level editor uses the ".cum" file extension, which is an abbreviation of "Custom ULTRAKILL Map".
• The codenames of level editor "Tundra" and custom map loader fork "Agony" are references to Swordsmachines "Agony" and "Tundra".
  • The updated editor "Rude" and public level loader "Angry" are references to Sisyphean Insurrectionists "Angry" and "Rude".
• Despite the work on the custom map loader "Agony" being not well known, it still remains in the games code, making references to Steam Workshop calls and level loading by the methods AgonyController and AgonyHelper.
  • Through external programs, the button to access the level editor can be made to display. Clicking on this button causes an unfinished UI to display, before closing. Subsequent button-clicking does nothing.
• The Prelude has the least amount of songs played compared to the other layers, with only 3.
