Disclaimer: at 4:21 I completely missed the mark on what I meant when discussing the music of electroman adventures. I know Robtop doesn’t make the songs. I just meant when he made the level as a whole. Sorry😅😅 Now remember this is only my opinion of course And with a video like this I’m bound to strike a nerve with one person who loves base after base and thinks the rating system is flawless 🤣 Rather than saying “don’t give me hate” if you genuinely disagree with this video… LET ME KNOW!

What the community often seems to forget is that a RobTop Insane or Harder is not the same as a Community Insane or Harder. Because of the fact that over time the skill of the community has been rising more and more, levels that would have been considered Insane 5 years ago would be rated 5 - 7 stars.

[@kinitolance-011]

For me, Base after Base is a pretty straightforward level that teaches you the flow of the game to actually practice Can't Let Go. I know a lot of people say its a really hated level, but I disagree with this statement. But for at least for the difficulty of levels, they were actually changed in 1.9 coz before the difficulyy ratings were completely different. But to be honest, I think that making the demon levels just like how it is in the servers is just a oretty good decision, because rsting it Demon is just plain confusing for new players on how hard the level actually is.

[@Colours.Gaming]

Listen at the end of the day it’s simply a level. So if a player has benefited from a level, or can see the positives it holds who am I to disagree?

[@kinitolance-011]

Yeah, exactly... Just see the positives and it will be fine.

Actually good points, as a player from 1.9.

It's not that close to Clutterfunk in difficulty so I do agree on giving it harder. ToE is just a bit easier than Clutterfunk, but not by a noteworthy margin. These should remain insane rated.

[@catpenguinxd9377]

the problem with this is that there arent many difficulty ratings and difficulty ratings are more varied than others. also with the cant let go vs base after base thing, if you take one look at a hard online level, you can see that at the time these levels were made, the hard rating works for both of them. Edit: this is the perspective of someone who has beaten some harder levels like hard demons, not from a new players perspective

[@Giviniti]

I do agree but spamming new difficulty ratings just makes everything messy. A good way of giving more room for variation would be a number related to each rating. If a level is between Insane and Demon, it would have a difficulty number between 9 and 10 (like 9.73). This way you can know how harder is a level from the same difficulty. This would also serve as a way to see how close a level is to get a specific difficulty rating by the community. Each player vote changes the number which changes the difficulty.

[@v5hr1ke]

Yep, that's because they rely on official levels to give the ratings to the online levels, which unfortunately, if Base Ater Base gets downgraded then so should some 4 star online levels. We don't want more mess in GD, editor is messy already.

[@STNDD]

I mean Hexagon Force is extreme the first time, but once you muscle memory the duel and figure out you can just focus on a single ship for the symmetrical duels, then it becomes really really easy, so I'd keep it an insane

Yea hexagon force is a little hard for the dual parts and everything else is basically free

[@utubeiskaren7796]

A new player won't have all that muscle memory until they play the level enough attempts through to be more attempts than other levels, I'd say Hexagon is 100% this new rating. It was actually the last official level I did besides demons

[@cobaltrix]

Insane is already split into 2 semi difficulties, (8 stars and 9 stars) while they aren't really a thing in robtop levels, it shows that rob knew some levels of they same difficulty aren't exactly as hard as each other

[@wi-xn3jo]

With the exception of Clutterfunk, the official Insane levels are either 10 or 12 stars if that counts

[@SomeRand0mNerd]

tbh rob should only upgrade level difficulty, not downgrade it It's better to get more rewards on an easy level than it is to get less rewards on a hard level

[@JohnMatthewPanis]

I think the reason for the big difficulty gap for the insane levels are because of the fact that two insane ratings exist(8 star and 9 star).

[@seneryldrm4382]

Personal Opinion: Stereo Madness - Easy Back on Track - Easy Polargeist to Base After Base - Medium Can't let go - Hard Jumper to XStep - Harder Clutterfunk - Insane ToE - Insane Electroman Adventures - Debatable between Harder and Insane Clubstep - Medium Demon Electrodynamix - Easy Demon Hexagon Force - Insane(Easy demon very little chance) Blast Processing - Harder ToE2 - Medium or Hard Demon Geometrical Dominator - Insane Deadlocked - Medium or Hard Demon Fingerdash - Harder Dash - Harder

What I'm saying is that the rating should remain like that because that's what it is(I'll exclude electrodynamix(should be "extreme"), and Base after base ("should be normal)). That's what at least I can say as a kinda-noob person.

[@Colours.Gaming]

What I’ve gathered from this comment is most levels I mentioned should stay the same rating besides electrodynamic and base after base lol

[@liljuju4474]

They should change the stars rating on demon levels,like easy demon (10) medium demon (15) hard demon (20) insane demon (25) and extreme demon (30)

[@kingyeti15]

While I agree that the ratings for RobTop's levels make 0 sense, I think the solution would be to rate them correctly, not introduce another rating. Remember, for online levels, the Insane rating is technically already split between 8 and 9 stars, and I think there is (usually) a noticeable difficulty difference between the two. Also, the standards for ratings for Rob's levels and online levels are vastly different. In no way are Stereo Madness or Back On Track getting an Easy rating online, they're gonna end up with Hard ratings by the fact that you do actually have to click the mouse to beat the level.

[@TheLoloCannel]

The fact that I find you both on tiktok AND youtube without searching you is insane

[@TheDerpyDolphin]

I honestly think the rating system is fine for the main levels. I’ve always looked at the star rating of each level to tell how difficult it is, not the just the face itself. That way you know that Clutterfunk is harder than xStep, and Electrodynamix is even harder. Theory of Everything, Fingerdash, and Dash are also 12* because the new gimmicks and tricks they introduce can easily throw off unsuspecting players. And they are all “Insane” because they really put the player’s skills to the test more so than Blast Processing or Cycles do.

[@briuiwnw7229nurjwnqoaakne]

Here is how I would change the ratings Base after base: Hard --> normal Jumper: Harder --> hard Electrodynamix, hexagon force, and clutterfunk: insane --> extreme cycles could maybe get upgraded I'm kinda 50/50 on that tho

[@redzuana6979]

Electrodynamix is a contender for demon, but i think it should get a 13* insane instead since it's clearly way harder than other insane levels, but easy enough execution wise to not be a RobTop demon. Xstep is fine on insane since with the introduction of blue pads that might disorient new players with how many times gravity gets switched. Also a good way to introduce new players what to expect on Insane levels. Base after Base needs to be downgraded to normal, the level is simple enough for new players to get used to quickly.

@@luckytime1034 I think if hard insane would exist... I would love to put clutterfunk and electrodynamix... I think we must keep the consistency that demon is hard but more than it it's more varied... They test your overall skills and therefore will contain many game modes. What I mean to say is demon levels are generally well designed for all round gameplay and skill. I will term demon as a level which is designed to keep multiple game modes in mind in such a way that they interchange with progression. I would also not rate hexagon force and clutterfunk in the same way since the dual part of hexagonal force becomes very easy when you remember the sequence. Clutterfunk is more skill based and you actually have to have skill to manage the mini gameplay since it is very dependent on it...

EA and Dash seem like two levels from completely different games. Rating their difficulty is impossible because they just cant be compared

[@catboybinary]

ok first of all, i'm gonna say that I disagree with some points made in this video. Not because they're wrong - but rather because they're all different for everyone. The thing is, that difficulty of the level itself cannot be described perfectly in one icon, for example: i can beat clutterfunk first try, but i will suck at electrodynamix and x-step all my life, yet fingerdash is the easiest insane of them all, but dash is harder due to new game mechanics. It's not all uniform and that's obvious, plus - difficulty perception changes over time: i recently saw a comment under the level saying that "can we please not make vertical gameplay it's hard", and it gave me such a flashback to Dry Out, when I was flipping my phone in order to combat reverse gravity. What I'm saying, is that some players are better at one thing and worse at other. And if i were to create a different rating system - adding one more icon is useless, maybe it would be better to rather have like sliders on ship control, or fast reaction, or rhythm etc etc

Dash 3. Clutterfunk 2. Electrodynamix 1. Hexagon force I don’t think any of these need to be downgraded MAYBE except for xstep. I never saw why people thought electroman adventures needs to be downgraded. to me, it’s the test of skill level at the time, which is why there is so many form changes, and those form changes also make the level feel very fast paced. Along with the multiple mini parts, which change up physics along with making you go faster.

However, I think changing the 9 star insane to it's own "extreme" rating works perfectly, as the difficulty difference between a 3 and 4 star isn't really that drastic, the difference between 8 and 9 star is very big, like 9 star quite literally is almost a demon level.

[@mintu5931]

I completely agree. Very good video!

[@DJ_Wolfy5]

Every rated 5 star these days babys the heck out of you.

[@edmdeathmachine]

But the current system works well as a parallel to the demon system, Easy demon = Easy Medium demon = Normal Hard demon = Hard Insane demon = Harder Extreme demon = Insane

[@splashmanej3]

as a new player, all of the levels should be extreme demon

[@BouncingKetchup]

bro made an 8.5 minute video out of "Level A is harder than Level B but they have the same rating???"

[@argothapro1295]

levels 1-5 should be normal levels 6-8 should be harder levels 9-12 should be insane electroman adventures should be harder clubstep and maybe electrodynamix should be easy demon electrodynamix and hexagon force should be insane TOE2 and Deadlocked should be easy or maybe even medium demons blast processing is definitely harder geometrical dominator may be better as an insane level dash and fingerdash should be 10 stars insane

If I could remake GD, it would have these difficulties: - Safe Auto, 0xp 0orb: Auto where it's impossible to die. - Unsafe Auto, 1xp 1orb: regular Autos, and "keep holding" Autos. - Easy 2xp 3orb: maps that can be beaten by an absolute noob, in less than 30 attempts (Stereo Madness is not Easy). - Mid 6xp 9orb: can be beaten by average casual players, in less than 40 attempts. These are equivalent to Normal, Hard, and a few Harders. - Hard 16xp 24orb: beatable by average "dedicated" players, in less than 60 attempts. Equivalent to Hard and Harder. - Harder 48xp 64orbs: beatable by experienced players in less than 500 attempts. Equivalent to Harder, Insane, Easy Demon, and Medium Demon. - Extreme 128xp 196orb: only beatable by professional players, in less than 2000 att. Equivalent to Hard, Insane, and Extreme Demons. - Hacker, ? xp & ? orb: Equivalent to "Top 0 DemonList". Beyond the human limit. Only beatable with speed-hack, because it's *filled to the brim with "frame-perfects" at 480Hz.* These are the "Silent" type (not Silent Clubstep, because that's beatable). - Infinite, variable xp and orbs: Impossible to beat, because it never ends. You get rewards according to how far you go, or how much time you survive. The map-maker may choose to add in-game xp/orb objects, meaning that you only get rewarded by collecting them (no time-space reward). "xp" is the replacement of Stars/Moons. It's exponential (just like orbs) to make it fair.

Here are my personal ratings. Stereo Madness - Easy Back on Track - Easy Polargeist - Easy Dry Out - Normal Base After Base - Normal Cant Let Go - Hard Jumper - Hard Time Machine - Insane Cycles - Insane xStep - Harder Clutterfunk - Entry Insane Theory of Everything 2 - Like Harder or something Electroman Adventures - Easier than Time Machine that's for sure Clubstep - Easy Demon Electrodynamix - Insane (Hardest non-demon official level!) Hexagon Force - Insane Blast Processing - Hard ToE II - Easy Demon Geometrical Dominator - Harder (borderline Insane) Deadlocked - I dunno, Easy Demon? Its difficulty is comparable to B but also to Extinction, SideStep, and DeCode, so I'm gonna go with peak Easy Demon on this one. Fingerdash - Harder probably Dash - Harder All of the GD world levels & The Challenge - Easy And I'm not doing the other spinoffs go home

[@spacepowerofficial1187]

Bro come on now Base after Base isn't that bad

[@UriiKingGD]

Insane difficulty is 8, 9 stars, harder is 6, 7. I think the stars should be the same as the actual difficulty the stars give you in online levels. ( sorry for my broken english )

[@GDStriker]

Yeah but they shouldnt be. Robtops main level ratings are supposed to be different to online levels.

Worst part of the rating system is that they rated Tidal Wave aka the top 1 demon a insane 💀💀💀

[@sagoot]

My suggestion: 1-2 stars: easy 3-5 stars: normal 6-8 stars: hard 9-10 stars: harder 11-13 stars: insane make TOE, Fingerdash and Dash 11 stars, Clutterfunk 12, and Electrodynamics and Hexagon Force 13.

[@carkidroth9366]

Comparing xstep to electrodynamix💀

[@Cp-71]

Honestly, I don't have an issue with the official level ratings since they don't affect much. You can just go "oh, that's off" and just play it. The issue begins with online levels, especially when it comes to platformers. Stella Infection is rated Insane Demon - but it shouldn't be anywhere near that. My friend beat it - and his hardest level is Clutterfunk. At the same time, Classical (by Iid4sh3riI, rated Insane) is comparable in difficulty to something like Jawbreaker (Hard Demon). Issues with official levels just don't stack up.

hi colours gaming

[@Chokey_Gaming]

Here’s my take: I think there are definitely flaws in the rating system of Geometry Dash. Like, Xstep being rated the same as Electrodynamix? Give me a break. RobTop should definitely re-evaluate the difficulties he allocates to each level. FOR THE NEW RATING, I think we should use the “Easy Demon”. It is a genuine level that describes that in-between of Insane to Demon. There’s a KZbinr called MUSIC SOUNDS [GD] who attempted “Full Versions” of each level. Basically, if a song is 3-minutes long, its respective level is extended out for that duration. As you could imagine, each level was rated a spot or two higher, since you have to endure the level for 2 or 3 times longer. E.G. Stereo Madness has “Normal”, Can’t Let Go has “Insane”. Interestingly, I noticed Xstep was rated, “Easy Demon”, which I think is a reasonable rating for 3 and a half straight minutes of perfect Xstep gameplay. AND THAT GOT ME THINKING: “Why not use Easy Demon as an official rating for the main 22 levels?” *So here’s my list of what I’d personally rate each level:* ------------ Stereo Madness - Easy 🔵 Bacc on Tracc - Easy 🔵 Polargeist - Easy 🔵 Dry Out - Normal 🟢 Base After Base - Normal 🟢 Can’t Let Go - Hard 🟡 Jumper - Hard 🟡 Time Machine - Harder 🟠 Cycles - Harder 🟠 Xstep - Harder 🟠 Clutterfunk - Insane 🟣 Theory of Everything - Harder 🟠 Electroman Adventures - Harder 🟠 (though Insane is also potentially giveable) Clubstep - Easy Demon 👿 Electrodynamicc - Insane 🟣 Hexagon Force - Insane 🟣 Blast Processing - Harder 🟠 (Barely) Theory of Everything 2 - Demon 👹 Geometrical Dominator - Harder 🟠 Deadlocced - Demon 👹 (Obviously) Fingerdash - Insane 🟣 (Again, barely) Dash - Insane 🟣 Do you agree or disagree with this list? Please let me know!

[@Chokey_Gaming]

Oh, forgot to mention, perhaps use of the other Demon ratings could suffice?

I swear the rating list is broken. Kappaclysm is rated harder and is literally harder than all the insane main levels

[@Shweps-Music]

New difficulty rating : Extreme, extreme is a difficulty where it’s magenta and has tiny horns like a demon but not close enough.

[@bunnysoup6858]

Online 8 - 9 stars can be harder than most easy demons to me 😭

[@Possfur]

Electrodynamix is just a harder insane, definitely not a demon imo

[@endgamer7896]

I think rob should rework the difficulties, instead of having like 4 and 5 stars being hard, 6 and 7 being harder etc. Demons should also have different star rewards, since there are 5 difficulties

[@Regocike]

Base after Base is a 5 star. Cant let go is a 6 star.

Official levels if they had online rating: Stereo Madness: 2* Easy Back on Track 2* Easy Polargeist: 3* Normal Dry Out: 4* Hard Base after base: 4* Hard Can't let go: 5* Hard Jumper: 6* Harder Time Machine: 7* Harder Cycles: 7* Harder Xstep: 7* Harder Clutterfunk: 9* Insane TOE: 8* Insane Electroman Adventures: 7* Harder Clubstep: 10* Easy Demon Electrodynamix: 9* Insane Hexagon Force: 8* Insane Blast Processing: 6* Harder TOE 2: 10* Easy Demon Geometrical Dominator: 7* Harder Deadlocked : 10* Medium Demon Fingerdash: 7* Harder Dash : 7* Harder (could be even 6*)
