My THOUGHTS On Geometry Dash 2.2 Levels... (NEW Update)

Geometry Dash UPDATE 2.2 has 5 New Levels and in this video I will be reviewing Robtop 'The Tower' and 'Dash' to see if they are GODLIKE or TERRIBLE... (sadly no Explorers that will be in 2.21)

[@MatMart]

Theres been a ton of arguments in the comments over my opinion in the video and I think a lot of it was caused by the previous thumbnail and title. Hopefully now people can view the video with an open mind, sorry to anyone I upset. Also the dislike mod makes this vids ratio look far worse then it is, at the time of typing this the video has 1058 dislikes, still a lot more then usual but not nearly as much as the faulty youtube dislike mod says. I WILL MAKE MORE 2.2 VIDEOS SOON... Let me know what you think of the video and if this gets 10K likes I'll upload an uncensored rage compilation to matmartmore :O

I don't understand most of these criticisms. It really feels like you expected a godlike masterpiece, a Picasso of platforming to come out, when he's trying something completely new and different to geometry dash. I've never been a fan of the base game and this update is what it took to make me start enjoying the game. It brings a new perspective to the game and brings more people to the community, it's new. Dash, sure you can say it feels rushed considering the quality dip from start to end, but with the tower it feels really fun and high quality in my opinion and I hope to see it get even better.

[@the711devin4]

I really don’t think the latter part of Dash is that bad. A major worry people had upon seeing the trailer was that the level would be impossible to sight read, but it introduces a medley of 2.2 gimmicks in a very digestible way. Though it could be more creative with decoration and gameplay, it’s better this way than to leave players feeling overwhelmed. The ball part and buildup part for example is very barebones in terms of gameplay, but that’s because most players are not used to going ⬆️⬇️↩️⤵️↔️🔃 while playing a level.

[@vanessa5552806]

Yeah the players are not used to it and robtop gives the player like zero time to get used to it and expects they already know it... which you know... isn't the MOST fair.

The fan made versions of dash are cool to look at but they don’t feel like base game levels, they feel like a fan made level. Not a bad thing but for a level to introduce the basics of this update, I say robtop did a good job. I do agree though that the start of the level is a bit meh.

Dude had a whole entire custom art thunbnail made just for a 10 minute complainfest video, sm my h

[@johferson09]

Platformer Mode having Practice Mode just kills the essence of the game mode. You are supposed to play a Plat. Level blind, and you are given free will to move and jump anywhere (plus Checkpoint object), unlike the default autoscroller where you can't go backwards and you start back at 0 when you die, giving you little room for errors. Also, Plat. Extreme Demons are only annoying to get through if they are designed like "I Wanna Be The Guy". Seriously, I feel like the creator was like "What if I don't apply game design 101 and solely rely on tight jumps and hitbox abuse since it's Geometry Dash and isn't any game like Celeste or Hollow Knight?"

[@Siggator1]

I think you're disregarding the amount of unique levels that can come from platformer mode. Sure, there are and probably will be many platformer levels that wouldn't need a practice mode; but there will also be levels that focus more on platforming skill and being like GD and would greatly benefit from practice mode. Platformer doesn't need to just be Celeste or just be Geometry Dash; both types of levels can co-exist, and having an option for practice mode would just benefit those levels that focus more on raw platforming skill and being GD.

Wtf bri, its not even practice mode, its a god damm checkpoint.

@@Siggator1 But it's a double edged sword. Sure, it will make Extremes a little less time to complete, but it will make a lot of levels TOO EASY. Not only do you have control of where to go and jump anytime and anywhere, but you also have Practice Mode along with the Checkpoint object within those levels. Easy and Medium Demon Platformer levels are already way too easy. I beat Forsaken City in under 20 minutes despite me taking 5-7 days just to beat 1 Easy Demon. I also beat Shiftleaf Temple and City Side (GDSide) in a single day, and it only took me an hour to do that. I am not even skilled enough to beat an Easy Demon in a single day, let that sink in.

Literally took me an hour to beat the cursed thorn on my first play through, only to beat it first try on my speed run so I could get the third coin

[@orang9134]

An hour? Holy shit was it really that hard for you?

[@EternalVoid74]

I suck at the game. Gimme a break. Besides I forgot to mention I was also playing DND for half of that

[@shiver8082]

An hour???? Bro what 😭

[@SamSamii2.0]

To be fair I don't understand why people don't like how The Cursed Thorn doesn't have checkpoints in his fight, I mean... boss battles are supposed to be challenging. The only boss battles I ever see having checkpoints in platformer games exceed 10 minutes, while you can beat easily beat The Cursed Thorn in under 3 minutes, it really isn't that long.

[@jevilsugoma1743]

The problem with cursed thorn, is not that he is too hard but it's that HE ISN'T. The boss is too slow and has no real attack, just random fireballs. I say good for starters but then again there is this idiotic bug which makes him stay still and not attack.

[@Photo_Draco0YT]

One thing i'm just worried about is how the dificulty curves in the tower. The Tower is the game's introduction of the Platformer mode, and while the start of it is easy to pick up for beginners, there are some parts where it seems like the difficulty suddenly spikes upwards to new players (for example, the "boss fight" in The Sewers). While they aren't too hard, they take quite a bit of practice for some players, or are just a forever standing obstacle they will never be able to pass. While the difficulty of the levels are one thing, I'm more worried about how that might affect the first impressions of Platformer mode shown to new players. Also, another problem is just how horrendous it is to play Platformer on mobile. You could argue "just play on a different device", but you have to remember that a majority of Geometry Dash players play on mobile devices. On mobile, the icon is controlled by two arrow buttons on the side, and the other hand is meant to be used for jumping/tapping actions. However, with both arrows in the same corner (they're also quite small), it's a bit hard to manuever around some of the obstacles and you'll sometimes just straight up go the wrong way on accident. This, combined with the difficulty of some parts, can possibly cause players to believe that Platformer mode is a terrible addition.

my response: 0:30 literally nobody says that, and i also disagree 1:20 i agree with that, but it gets followed up by the best spider buildup ever 1:34 the dash orb is just great 1:41 best part of the level, i love the massive buildup 1:56 WADDAYA MEEEEEAN? ok i sorta agree, but the ship going waay up is just so satisfying somehow 2:10 another amazing part, i agree 2:20 NAWWWWWWWWWWW 3:33 french laugh. 3:41 how did you think that??? 4:26 i wish that guy would come back 5:42 welll you cant blame him... the servers were barely ready yet 5:56 rattledash! i shore hope nothing happens to him!!! 6:00 yep 7:09 ohh yeahh the best level 7:36 there is also an amogus sound 7:57 why you say it like that? 🤨 8:19 in good, there's evil. in evil, there's good. balance, pure good, then there's this b- 8:28 if it was fair, this bossfight would be a million times easier. like, to the point that it would be easier than back on track. yeah thats all. i have no life

THE ONE QUESTION I HAVE! (Not about this vid) why are there human skeletons in the tower? The beings of this world are cubes.

[@Randommmmmmmmm]

3:54 tf you mean every attempt you only get there if its a good run bc theres no reason on keep going if its not a good run so you would just reset
