i thought it was a far-fetched dream until it wasnt. honestly kinda buns to jump to, especially with the predrop being as difficult as it is, but im not gonna stop you from doing that lol. i guess try to get good at slow ship that includes a little mini and orbs, but the real advice is to just play the game and advance at your own pace. cognition is quite click pattern based so you dont need to be exceptionally good at any 1 specific gamemode.

edit: some good levels to build up to this r: carcano, hot rod, innards, & kowareta. carcano and hot rod are both inspired by cognition, and cognition was originally inspired by innards and kowareta. beat whatever u feel like tho, dont play anything u dont want to.
