''Toxic Surge'' (Demon) by GiaMmiX | Geometry Dash 2.2

As creators get used to all of the new tools that 2.2 offers we'll get to see more structure, variety of effects and new styles being formed. Toxic Surge is proof of that, we get to see the new blocks and effects in action, with the camera controls being the star here, it makes a level so much more dynamic and interactive, especially when you integrate it into the gameplay.
Putting aside the gameplay the toxin design is great, the vibrant green coloring in the acid and the blocks combined with the purple lighting and orbs, it's done tastefully.

In a year or two we’ll see levels and go, “shader abuse” but right now, it doesn’t matter, I love it.

[@StenzionElias]

I like it I think you predicted the future

[@PrivateForPersonalReasons]

I think that will happen because of how easy it is to make levels now. And top creators get salty.

[@Nulley0]

ADOFAI has CDF GD will have GDF?

[@officertenpennyaintservingyou]

they will add "disable shader effects"

[@noobmaster7146]

Ik right, platformer mode is taking over, i mean their really cool but i still want to see and play regular levels to.

[@equinox-XVI]

If nothing else, I love how they kept the sight reading intact. Makes the gameplay much easier to follow compared to a lot of other 2.2 levels.

[@ComedyVault101]

Don’t get me wrong, the camera effects are done really well here, but nobody can actually sight read something like this right? I mean parts of it are sightreadable, and none of it is designed to unfairly surprise you, but still I don’t imagine anyone can do much of this level without practicing

[@inkswift]

@@ComedyVault101not all of it of course

[@alecvip7562]

​@ComedyVault101 thats not what they meant by that. Its to be able to easily see what you're doing.

[@QQueTV]

​@@ComedyVault101I remember getting 40% or so in my first few attempts. I'm not saying this to flex at all, I've wasted thousands of hours in this game when I could've been doing something productive with my life. but it is sightreadable with enough experience in my opinion

Platformer mode is super great, but my heart will always be with these rhythmic traditional levels. This level is extraordinary, yet still only feels like the beginning of how insane these levels will get.

The levels feel way more alive, 2.2 made a huge impact on the game just by mostly adding camera effects. I love this update!

It's amazing that all of these effects are straight from GD, all those camera movements look like they are made post recording... 2.2 is revolutionary!

[@JUSTaMAFFIN]

i find crazy that for now this look impossibly cool but later this will propably look like early 2.1 or even 2.0 levels for us right now

[@Zcycles]

If people can make levels with this quality within 9 days, then I am scared to see what levels will look like in a MONTH.

[@aeonvipsgm]

La 2.2 está haciendo un gran cambio en el juego :] GG Nexus

[@oriongabriel6966]

I was expecting 2.2 to be a repeat of 2.0, where no one knew how to use the new triggers and made unreadable shitshows for a year. But people are already starting to understand hoe to use the 2.2 things in moderation to make levels somewhat readable.

[@ziolekraper]

very fun level!❤❤❤

[@IamliMinal188]

Epic!!!!! 😮😮

[@Aktzin]

This is a level that uses the new effects and gameplay elements correctly. More creators need to focus on how readable their levels are. Makes gameplay more fun.
