i revamped bad coins in geometry dash 2.2 official levels

i did it again.
please read:
- No, I will not be doing this for The Tower's blue coins. (At least not until 2.21) Please don't clutter the comments with requests for me to do this.
- The coins that did not appear in this video were already good with nothing to improve (This includes Nock Em 3rd)
- I find it unlikely that I'd ACTUALLY make a revamped coins video for Explorers alone, so take what I say at the end about that with a grain of salt. (Though maybe if I combined that with The Tower coins... I'll think about it)
I feel much better about the coin revamps in this video than in the first.

the power trip coins have the same problem they used to: the orbs that are essential to getting the coin are completely invisible. i also think that you can actually just fix the dash 3rd coin by having some indicator that you have to click to get the coin (eg having the 1 flash yellow every time you click)

[@Zenyx64]

disagree on both fronts. the power trip 2nd coin has a sparkle and the circle effect to point to the orbs even if dash's 3rd coin was actually indicated it wouldn't change the fact that it's 100% free from a gameplay standpoint.

[@isavenewspapers8890]

My reviews: Press Start-1: The additional gameplay is a very welcome change. It's a big step up from doing literally nothing. Aesthetics-wise, I probably would've used white spikes, but that's just personal preference. B-tier. Nock Em-1: Ah, the infamous first coin of Nock Em. Well, let's see what changed. To start, I don't like that the key is obtained in the exact same way as the coin originally was. It's somewhat better than it is in actual Nock Em, since the darkened wall is a better hint than the differently-colored circle, but it still feels too subtle. Maybe a more significant darkening would've helped, or having the key always be visible, or even omitting the key entirely and just having the challenge be about timing the orb press later on. Speaking of, I find the coin route pretty clever. By entering the teleport gate with different gravity than usual, you get to play a part of the level that's normally just decoration. I don't actually understand the logistics of it, since entering in upside-down gravity means leaving in normal gravity and vice versa, but it's not too much of a concern. Also, the fact that the letters say "key" is a nice touch. However, I'm still not happy with the key placement, and that really drags down the score. C-tier, I think. Nock Em-2: Wow, this is one intense coin. The difficulty is a bit jarring, considering that Nock Em is not meant to be that difficult of a level. Maybe it looks harder than it actually is, though. Using the size physics is a clever idea, but the invisible size portal is slightly off-putting. Overall, I'll give it B-tier. Nock Em-3: Godlike. Literally the best collectible ever created in any video game ever. Who would've thought you could make such a fair, sightreadable challenge that still manages to put the player's skills to the ultimate test? The way the player goes on the wall, the buttons, the multiple inputs in rapid succession-everything comes together to make this, truly, one of the coins of all time. Super Mega S Plus-tier. (No.) Power Trip-2: ... Shoot, I really like that. It's simple, yet effective. It doesn't change the underlying concept behind the coin, but the way it swaps the roles of the teleporters is just so fun, I can't help but be happy about it. The coin itself is still kinda underhwleming, though, so B-tier. Power Trip-3: This one feels like a bit much. Honestly, I think any one of the hearts individually would've worked as the coin, or maybe the coin path could've just been open by default. It could be a fun challenge for experienced players (I think I'd personally enjoy it quite a bit), but for newbies, it looks like misery. This one's hard to rank, but I'll go with C-tier. Dash-1: Definitely an improvement because there's actually required additional gameplay, but this coin still isn't exactly amazing. I agree with Colon that this coin probably should've just been relocated. I'll say B-tier. Dash-2: Again, definite improvement. Thank goodness it's colorblind-friendly now, and on a purely superficial level, I think the flickering effect looks really cool. A-tier. Dash-3: A third and final definite improvement. Nicely done. The first part of this coin is quite nice. The path to the cogwheel is decently visible, and squeezing through the gap is a good challenge. The second part is interesting because you touch an object that zaps something else, which is a concept I believe we last saw in Geometrical Dominator. However, this blue X thing looks nothing like the green diamonds, so you have no idea what it does; you just kinda have to jump into it and pray. It's a fascinating concept, to be sure. Only then can you hit the blue orb and reach the coin. This coin seems pretty fair and fun, if a little convoluted. B-tier, I suppose. Hexagon Force-2 (revisited): This coin is very cool and plays with the slope physics nicely, but at the same time, it's quite cryptic. Plus, once you do figure it out, it seems easier than the main path. I think that the crypticness should be reduced by having a later entry point to the coin path. I'd say we could also keep the original coin path, just for the sake of coolness, but I think its easiness might make the section too free. Very cool concept, but the execution could be improved. B-tier. I wish I were able to play these myself. I think it'd really improve the quality of my assessments.

[@Zenyx64]

Thanks. As usual I agree, but there's some parts I'd like to differ on or add to. In Nock Em first I get a lot of complaints about not removing the original coin route, but my counterpoints are as follows: - As you saw, the hint is more obvious now. On second thought I'd probably adjust the values to make it more obvious. Also there's a glint where the key is - which again, I probably should have made a different color which is easier to notice - The hole has been tightened to 1x2 instead of 2x2, making the jump out of the structure a lot harder - It's simply a key, and due to the fact that it's followed by a coin, it's okay to be a little less eventful. Also, the logic behind the coin itself is that: You fall into the portal with anti-gravity -> You fall out with regular gravity therefore You fall into the portal with normal gravity -> You fly out with anti-gravity I guess I could have swapped the coin route and main route but I digress. In nock em 2nd, it does not feel difficult at all, though that may be because I'm a 240hz extreme demon slayer. Even then, I thought it was very easy. And I do admit that the placement of the regular size portal is a bit wack and could definitely have been more interesting. With Power Trip 3rd I genuinely had no clue where to put it so I just went with Colon's suggestion of "put one in the spider part or something". Then I saw that at many points you're able to teleport onto the top of the walls you're meant to avoid. (fun fact: the original level actually has collision removed for these tops of platforms to make the clicks a little easier) So I decided to experiment with that idea and added collectibles to each time that you could execute that trick. The coin itself was unlocked by them and used the idea of the gimmick to its maximum. So in my totally unbiased opinion it's a very cool and clever coin. And no, it does not feel difficult in the slightest. And for Dash 3rd, I'll be honest that I ran into a similar issue as Power Trip 3rd, where no good placement was coming to mind, hence why the coin itself is in such a wack spot. And the X thing was just a random pixel item I picked because I couldn't find anything better. Anyway that's about it. Thanks for watching these and reviewing the coins in such an intelligent way. It's been fantastic to get a person with an actual brain in the comments of these videos. Getting this much fame in GD content really shows you the downside of having an audience mostly made up of people so young, so you were a divine breath of fresh air. Have a nice day.

[@imrantube747]

I love Nock Em's coins (except the third one).

[@ChanOliverNash2010]

I really like your revamps. They are all better than their originals and are creative. Press start 1: D->B Not much to say about this one. Nock em 1: F+->D+ It's better but the placement of the key sucks. I would also consider giving it a custom design. Nock em 2: D->B+ It's really good but I don't think it's as good as your Clutterfunk 2. Nock em 3: S->F I know this was a joke but I'm not a fan of the obnoxious Dash Spider. Power Trip 2: C->A It plays around with the teleporting mechanic really well. Power Trip 3: C- ->B - It's cool but it looks a little messy. Dash 1: D+->C+ I like how it opens an alternate path but it's not enough to rank higher. Dash 2: B->B+ I think there should've been a smoke effect. I also think the bolt should disappear with enough time for the player to react. Dash 3: F- ->A - Cool concept, not much else to say. Hexagon Force 2: F->S Utilizes slopes really well and is clearly harder than the normal route. It's definitely one of my favorites of your revamps but not as good as Clutterfunk 2, Electroman 3, and Geometrical 3.

[@Zenyx64]

Nock Em 1st's key had its location slightly improved, actually. Instead of a 2x2 space, the gap is 2x1, making the jump out of it much more difficult and rewarding to pull off. Either way I appreciate the time this took, and I'm always glad to find another electroman 3rd fan.

[@simo_viewer_pr9030]

Coin ratings (my opinion): - Press start 1: D --> B. It fixes one of the major problems with the original. - Nock Em 1: F --> F+. It's definitely an improvement, but the key placement is still garbage. - Nock Em 2: A --> A. I like it, but I think the original is already good enough. - Power Trip 2: C --> A-. I love how it plays around with the teleporting, but I still think that the orbs need more indication. - Power Trip 3: D --> S-. It's so creative and cool! The minus is only because the gameplay could feel strange at first. - Dash 1: D --> D+. It slightly improves a not-so-good coin. - Dash 2: B --> B+. Small visual improvement. - Dash 3: F --> A. It looks really fun! If you could improve the cogwheel placement this would be an S! Overall, great job!

[@Zenyx64]

Wow! That's quite thoughtful. I mostly agree, but Nock Em 1 actually had the Key placement itself slightly adjusted. The indication is obvious now, and it also now requires a jump from the edge of the block since the ceiling is right above the player (it's clearer but harder)

[@petersusilo9588]

For 2nd coin in Nock Em, I think the original is D Tier mainly because of the really awkward transition and it fells very different from the first coin in Deadlocked. However, the revamped coin (in this video) is become really really good because this is creative, utilizing the mini portal.

Power trip last coin could do without the hearts, just set the coin in one of the hearts' location and you've already got a very solid coin. The hearts are just bloat. Not gonna lie, the placements were much worse than in the last video. Most of these feel like custom level coins and not official coins, will stuff like collectibles, keys, invisible portals; I'm not a huge fan.

[@Zenyx64]

I disagree on all fronts, and you can either read why or skip my explanation by playing the "not reading allat" card. About the coins feeling more like custom levels, while this is true, it's important to recognize that a part of that is simply the fact that with 2.2 there's a lot more features to use and integrate into coins. Making a good coin in this version requires it to be smoothly made into part of the level, which by itself makes it more complicated and custom level-y. Also, like a solid half of the coins are nothing but very small linear improvements to RobTop's own coins, so the argument falls apart for those. About Power Trip's 3rd coin, if it was added in place of just one of the hearts, it would be way too easy. While the coin may have been fine if the route was always unlocked, even without the hearts to open the wall, I decided to add them as a way to consistently utilize an opportunity that arises in the spider part due to how it was made. You get a heart for teleporting onto the top of a spike pillar and falling from there - if you understand and pull that gimmick off 3 times you unlock the coin, which itself also uses this same idea, though in a more technical and complicated manner. And about the quality of the coins compared to the first video, for me it's a no-brainer that this video contains much better coins. I put much more love into all of them and really finetuned them until they felt good, official, and fun. But at the end of the day, games are art, and art is at its most fun when we all have differing opinions on it.
