The BEST Platformer level? | ''Tornado'' by AbstractDark | Geometry Dash 2.2

Tornado is one of those levels that are really brought to life due to the sum of all its parts. Every section here has something completely different to offer while keeping itself connected and grounded.
The beginning reminds me of the times when you're walking home, you're about to arrive when you suddenly start to hear thunder above you and it begins raining. The sense of urgency and uncertainty are nailed here. Going into the ruined castle and being able to hear the rain hitting the rooftop and the flashes of lightning through the cracks, the wind coming rushing in when you open the hatch, this is the life I was talking about.
After this it only gets crazier, once the tornado forms and you can see it in the distance, the feeling of urgency turns into fear, since you're swept up and now have to jump between what's left of the ruins, dodging giant rocks flying your way. It's all done beautifully, from a gameplay and a design standpoint. And we can't underrate the importance of sound effects and music, which play a huge part here as well.

[@KamDaOrcuh]

Coming from someone who lives in a state that be getting a decent amount of severe weather and tornadoes (Mississippi), this level is pretty accurate.

[@Vision-ky7ew]

You turn into a ROBOT AND FLY TRHOUGH THE SKY WITH A JACKPACK???

[@KamDaOrcuh]

@@Vision-ky7ew yep 😎

[@tingolad2237]

​@@Vision-ky7ew ahh yes the '' jackpack''

[@justbrandon1616]

As an Oklahoman, and someone who, as well, has had a fair bit of experience with tornadoes and other miscellaneous weather conditions, I can agree and say that this level portrays tornadoes fairly accurately

[@thespecialgamer3766]

True I just moved to Oklahoma maybe move back

[@quack4734]

imagine being a victim of a huge natural disaster and going "ooh shiny, ooh, sparkly" in the middle of it

Tornado is so beautiful it's so atmospheric and well thought out.

[@ASlapperGuy]

Well Put. I loved the inside tornado section due to its art and gimmick. Truly a masterpiece once again made by The GD Community.

[@qseryGD]

@@ASlapperGuynot just the gd community it's another abstract dark banger

[@zgamer1146]

The fact that your cube is in the transitions make them so cool!~

[@itsfletch]

I want to make levels like these, with these types of transitions too, but I'm never going to have the mindset and motivation for that =-= I agree with you

[@omar691gmd]

The animation of the tornado breaking the structures are amazing, deserved legendary

[@Doggykh]

if this doesn't get legendary or above i will fly to sweden and cause a meatball shortage

[@boots1070]

[@joseeduardocancoba1013]

No esperaba nada de ti AbstractDark y aun asi lograste impresionarme

[@xxx_perfect_xxx4390]

it cannot be expressed in words, how cool it looks, like a movie of some kind

[@abrahamtee1776]

Este nivel si merece ser legendario, la decoración y la forma en que se mueven los objetos es espectacular

[@smarty265]

This feels like its inspired by the tornado level in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze

[@CK-iv1lq]

It definitely had that feel.

[@iverndiaz]

Ahh, the return of AbstractDark. I still remember the level "Formidable Guardians" and it is beautiful.

[@olafcio]

The effort put into this level - just above the limit.

[@ako4232_]

Absolutely amazing, deserved legendary

[@CheemsPeque]

The most epic level I saw. Incredible!

[@HyperX755]

The ring coin is absolutely genius

[@ieatthreebowlsofriceaday]

Abstract Dark just keep getting better at making levels lol

[@NickAndriadze]

I'm still flabberghasted by how awesome this level's environmental and visual storytelling is, the tornado scene specifically gave me some serious Far: Lone Sails vibes, which is already one of the most atmospheric games of all time.Insane stuff.

[@Smabverse]

Is this even GD

No, it’s super Mario Bros 😂

Esse level e incrivelmente perfeito, me lembrou bastante a fase " Floating Ruins " de Megaman zx advt, chega bateu uma nostalgia aqui.

[@khy2k4]

That was fun! Had to take a sec to realize where I was going but the tornado sure fixed it. XD

[@Risk_angel]

Bro its do beautiful, a pure perfection ❤

[@KiettGD]

This is so phenomenal 🤩

[@brightrealityy]

amazing feel and atmosphere

[@esteb7496]

When thinking about how crazy 2.2 would be i always thought about this one level in donkey kong tropical freeze when you get pulled into the tornado and do platforming on flying objects... aparently i wasn’t the only one think about that

[@SARMA360]

this is what 2.2 editor was made for, not for that damn "fire in the hole"

[@ramaicatseye]

Wow, great idea, level creator!

[@koawblox]

this is the most beautiful platform level i've ever seen in this update.

[@innosar1142]

The new update is pretty sick 👌 looking forward to new levels coming up

[@Russia_0227_1]

The music Fits so Well

[@bryancesar4603]

Merece el Rate Mítico en mi opinión, y si no, esta en el borde de lo legendario y mítico 😮😮😮😮❤❤❤❤

[@heatedthenerd]

I don't know how people can make something like this all in Geometry Dash, it's unbelievable.

[@skulling4893]

Me personally, I think everything after the first bit deserves legendary. The first part looks a bit richer and janky, but awesome level!!!!

[@user-rx8ez8wl8i]

AbstractDark is G.O.A.T😊

[@rhager842]

For those who don't know, this is an accurate depiction of what every day life is like in Tornado Alley

[@SleepyWhistles]

11/10 level deserves a legendary rate

[@LSamuelZ]

even though it certainly looks cool it would be mythic with better realism on the designs and better shadows/lights

[@RubixstewYT]

This is so cool! This reminds me of Celeste if it didn't suck.
