Effect layouts when made well are extremely underrated and are one of the best styles next to effect and realistic styles imo

[@starsyt3164]

[@EstherCassViolet]

In my view, though, I find effect layouts very limiting when it comes to innovation and creativity (granted how it actually just revolves around 1.0 elements). So unless you break out of theming so much to the point where it can't be considered an effect layout anymore, it usually just ends up looking like any other effect layouts out there and becomes... ..not so memorable

[@laskouide_newragingbulls]

this video is more or less interesting but however there are things I have points to approach with your video - 1: about design,glow and modern I can find it a little easy for people to qualify for this level of fegnant or a way to be because it's not necessarily true (and you mentioned it) and also very important: -it's often a way for designers to express their creativity, they will know more about how to use this style at their end, they will be able to do beautiful things with it and they will have more ideas with their styles than anyone else (I'm thinking of hinds, starkythesalad, licen, yunhaseu14, qmistic, flosia, ilnm ect...). -but above all it's the most accessible and fun creation styles of this game for beginners, it's the easiest styles to learn and to progress, it's the best way to start small, it's too hard for us to start with something new, we have to do the most basic things first before we start going further, that's why nowadays we see it in the levels recent and it does not bother me because some their weapon is the way they are executed and not their originality or the long work. and I don't agree with the people you quoted who say that modern is lazzy because the blocks are simple Complexity does not mean worked 2-: horror themes I think about the same thing, there are many that are not very scary (tokidfrendly) but above all even if it's the objective, levels like man man or red roms go much too far, it's so bloody and excessive that it will shock 70% of audiences (or maybe not) and some parts are sometimes really cringe. the best horor theme of gd is collab level and soon antares even if it is more a borderline horor theme. 3-: the hell themes a lot of geometry dash hell theme are an important part of history, i think a lot of hell theme level came out when we had 1 top 1 every two years and when this trend was minimal, now hell theme can be a way for many creators to express their creativity (greafer, insxne, burgadaz, icedcave ect...). I'm also not a big fan of style art as I prefer simpler blocks and a lot of it is overdetailed. You could have talked about neo design, the pure definition of simple and effective. interesting video and sorry for the length and the English (thanks google translate :D).

[@voguefurret]

It should be noted that there's a clear distinction between the terms Style and Theme: Styles are how a creator approaches design, These are the rules you follow in the editor, Everyone has a unique style but high quality decoration needs a good set of ground rules to follow, I'd recomend picking a popular style which you can then expand upon when you get familiar with the basics of it. Themes on the other hand are not made to be versatile, They are more like locations you build using a style. Here are lists to seperate the ones mentioned in the video: - Styles Traditional Nostalgia (Past Updates) Glow Art Modern Effect Core - Themes Nine Circles Hell Tech Space Horror - Gameplay Minigame

[@voguefurret]

The themes are commonly associated with these styles: Nine Circles [1.9 / Effect] Hell [1.9] Tech [Glow] Space [Glow] Horror [Art]

I Disagree With The Opinion About Effect Layout because its not important how the design how creative or artistic you are, the mission is to improve your gameplay creativity and gameplay effect (some of them abuse lol) to make more fun and enjoyable (except for Havoc) and also to respect others low devices like mobile or old computers.

[@LucasJohn0723]

@@rootbeerfloathaspop3301 first off, I think mini game should be like mid tier. They’re cool, but I’m not playing geometry dash so I can actually play some other game. Also, I’m one of those people that think that modern is the new generic. I swear I can’t go into the featured tab without being swarmed with modern levels, so I would put that much lower. I would also put hell theme pretty much at the bottom. Dispute the fact that most of the hell levels being made now are pretty decent, I feel like my past experiences have completely soiled my enjoyment with them. This one I understand being a little bit of a weaker leg to stand on. I think that design and glow levels should be higher. Probably at least mid tier, but I wouldn’t put them in the top 3. Personally when I think of a geometry dash level, what comes to kind and what i expect is pretty much exactly what the design and glow levels are. I feel like if you would have put them at the bottom in 2.0 to early 2.1 I would agree with you, but the fact is that they really aren’t made as much as other levels anymore, and I think they’re really refreshing to play over the sheer amount of modern levels in the game. Those are all of the big changes that I would make to this list (unless I forgot something, but I don’t think I did). I would make a lot of other changes, but they all boil down to just changing something by only a couple of places, so I’m not going to bother typing them all out.

pov: you see generation retro and the first video on your feed is "The Worst Geometry Dash Level" by GD Colon

[@rdfgrdhd]

My opinion: Hell themed levels are good. It just perfectly matches with extreme demon main idea: it's super hard, so it feels like a hell. Yeah, it's kinda overused now, and there are lots of bad and boring levels, but it's still a good theme, that has at least some idea and creativity. It's also very nostalgic. Nine circles levels are garbage. This levels have an insanely bad gameplay, because you can't see anything and you have to memorize the gameplay. This style is fun to look at and firstly was creative, but Geometry dash is a game, that you have to play, not just look at fancy decorations, and in terms of gameplay this levels are garbage. Minigames are fun only in terms that they are made in GD - a game where you have to jump over the obstacles being a cube. They are hard to make and lots of effort were put in them, and it's cool. But in terms of gameplay it has awful uncomfortable controls that you should get used to. Effect layout levels can also be good. Yes, there are lots of non-creative levels with just some glow and move triggers, but it proves that level not always have to be fancy decorated to get a star rate. It just needs to look good and have something about it, and that's very good, because sometime the deco standards in this game are getting too far. Some good levels with this style should definitely be rated. Retro - I don't understand this style. There is only one famous level that was made using this style - Retray. If you beat 4/5 levels from the poison gauntlet, you may also know Generation retro. I don't think that this should be a separate style, because nobody makes levels in it. The rest - agree.

I feel like you can't combine style and theme into one list. A theme is when a level has an idea or concept that spans across the whole level or a significant portion of it. A style is just how the artist/decorator chooses to represent their level. You can have modern-hell levels, core-space levels, and even 1.0-art levels, so putting them in the same list kind of doesn't make sense to me. As a plus, I wouldn't include the "game style", or minigames, in this list. It's not a style or necessarily a theme, and completely changes how a level plays.

I don’t have a problem with your opinion on combining style and theme, but your objection to my inclusion of Minigames makes zero sense

[@rootbeerfloathaspop3301]

Like, so what if it changes how a level plays on a fundamental level? It is still a type of Geometry Dash level

[@Toby135]

​@@rootbeerfloathaspop3301The difference between "Game Style" and literally every other style/theme is that it isn't a style, or even a theme. It's entirely dependent on what the creator wants to make. You can make a minigame with the theme of space and core decoration, or the theme of hell with modern decoration. The theme of a minigame is entirely dependent on what the creator wants to make, and it doesn't have to stick to a specific style. It's like putting platformer levels on the list because they require you to take a different approach to creating, it makes zero sense to put it on the list.

@@Toby135 Bruh, they are a completely different style of level from the others, how can it not be a different style?

[@Toby135]

@@rootbeerfloathaspop3301 Because your list ranks decoration styles, not level styles?

I feel like it's missing quite a bit, most of which are unnamed (so I'm giving them names as I go). Such as - Era style. 1.0 and 1.9 styles got their own sections but why should other updates (1.3, 1.7 etc.) be left out? - Self-referential style. Recreating objects and style found in GD menus and such. Egzamples would include l Built a Level, Animation vs GD and so on. - Animations. They can be so unique I'd call them a separate style - first levels that come to my mind are Wysteria, GD Legends Finale and A Special Place. - Low object levels. They became popular recently and look different enough to be their own thing. - Themed levels. Some creations have such a strong identity it's hard to group them with anything else. Like, in what kind of style is Heartbeat? - Bossfight levels. Pretty self-explainatory. - Experimental/weird. Pretty much nothing from this category gets rated but they exist nonetheless. I swear, Driproom should get the stars it deserves...

[@rootbeerfloathaspop3301]

1. Because I don’t see many creators making 1.3, 1.7, 2.0, etc. style levels, whereas I do for styles such as 1.0 and 1.9.

[@rootbeerfloathaspop3301]

2. That’s happened maybe 3 times. I’d hardly consider that a full-fledged style

[@rootbeerfloathaspop3301]

3. Sure, I could have included that

[@rootbeerfloathaspop3301]

4. Maybe

[@rootbeerfloathaspop3301]

5. “Themed level” isn’t a single style, most themed levels fall into another style (Heartbeat is hell theme).

[@yammez1]

Art levels will always be be too of the charts in my eyes as they, more often than most levels, are trying to tell a story. This means parts that might not look the best are elevated by their dedication to the theme or story progression of the level, leading to an experience that can be best described as greater than the sum of it's parts.

my favorites of each style 15. Absolutely none of them (agree with that placement) 14. Edge Of Destiny 13. Basalt Caverns 12. Bloodlust 11. Collab Level 10. Retro Circles (technically also 9 circles but I put it here) 9. Fellow Phobia 8. Nomotros Cosmos 7. Devourer De Dieux 6. Magdalene (got shafted at gd awards) 5. WHAT 4. Artificial Ascent 3. CYCLOLCYC 2. Glorious Fortress 1. Floating Outskirts

Why did you mix themes and styles? There are SO many themes you can have so its just kinda stupid, same for styles just on a smaller level.

[@emberkitsune]

I actually like glow style.

[@yovelgefen9393]

you forgot the costume design, literally the best levels are made from it and its themost creative style ever

Even though you prefer modern nc more then legacy nc levels As someone who loves making legacy nc im happy you put the nc style in 8 I dont wanna bother making counterpoints to your opinion because i agree. Legacy nc was repetitive. But hey! Got any gra- its 8 and thats good enough 👍🏻

We can't make a tier list like that, because there are too many variables that are changing the result.
