Also here’s a cold take: Robtop should add the ability for creators to mark levels with Epilepsy warnings. This would really help people like me who have to worry about shitty nine circles clones causing us a seizure 💀

[@dareal_roizy]

Why do you play this game, every level has flashing lights

[@kirbot]

@@dareal_roizy Yes, but not all kinds of flashing lights trigger it for me. It’s a certain kind of flashing from one color to another rapidly that triggers it for me

[@dareal_roizy]

@@kirbot I see,it sure is annoying that levels rarely have epilepsy warnings

[@d1kgaws12]

Never expected someone with epilepsy to play GD. Wish for the best for you when it comes to epilepsy. Seizures sound really bad, and worrying about randomly getting them when trying to play a game sounds very not fun.

Hot take: Firework is a good level, I've heard people complaining about how it's boring cuz there's its greyscale, but I personally feel that the greyscale fits the level's theming and atmosphere.

This is a bit weird, but greyscale is my favorite color scheme.

[@superkebabo]

[@deadeyed2454]

Totally agree with the generation retro point. Its really not that hard after you get the beginning down, you just need to remember a few things. Do a practice run, and youll be done in no time.

[@Ezzy1331_]

Most people truly don’t use practice mode unless for demons cause they think non-demon levels are sightread-able and easy enough. So when a level that is “easy” requires practice mode, it feels unnecessary and difficult

Building onto that stereo extremeness hot take, people make buffs of main levels all wrong, including vortrox. The buffed version should have the same mechanics as introduced in the main level. For example, any gamemode other than ship and cube should not appear at all in stereo extremeness, or any other main level buff until you get to the level it is introduced in. Same with green orbs, black orbs, etc. there is a way to make hard gameplay without those mechanics, you just gotta be creative (which is impossible for people nowadays)

[@squid049]

I feel like mechanics that are similar to the ones already in the level (e.g robot) and features from that update should be allowed as well, but, yeah, people really aren't creative when it comes to buffing levels

[@scmbgoogle7790]

My takes in buffing levels: Stereo Madness: 4 spikes + Straight fly Back on Track: Yellow pad timings Polargeist: Yellow orb timings, fakes, ship maze Dry out: Spike timing + Straight fly Base After Base: 4 spikes + Straight fly Cant Let Go: Fakes + Timing + Straight fly Jumper: Mazes

Custom remakes of Robtop levels using the entire song should be rated (Ex: Clubstep Full by Traso), but only once.

Damn my comment isn't in this video So I gonna put my hot takes here again: Grindcore music would unironically work in Geometry Dash because of it's song length and structure compare to stuff like black and death metal. (Eg: Wormrot, Insect warfare, terrorizer, nails, pig destroyer and magrudergrind etc...)

[@WHEREISALICEIAMGOINGTOALICE]

I would disagree that grindcore music structure and length would fit for GD standard as grindcore production and mixing quality is way worse than most music used in GD (Extremely harsh and low quality sounds.) Alot of grindcore music are way too fast to even make a reasonably difficult level to make a gameplay on. Plus the genre is pretty much an acquired taste itself, which make the rating even harder to get (Let alone mentioning grindcore only work as an album.) That being said, the nature of grindcore being an extremely chaotic, aggressive, harsh, insane and hostile music that cover gruesome and dark topics. If a grindcore music used in a level that's so over the top and insane (as long as it's NOT another generic hell or nc level) while covering extreme subject (Without stepping over the line too much) I would 100% fw it, because that's what grindcore music mostly are and I absolutely adore it. I would love seeing more extreme punk/metal music in GD levels, in grind we trust! \m/,(> .

[@RenardioMFG]

I said this on the community post, but I’ll say it again: 2.2 wasn’t as grand as I thought it’d be and it was kinda disappointing. All the features we got could have probably been implemented in 2-3 years, not 7. Plus, getting some of the features delayed is just dumb

[@Globert]

Agree

[@tyronium2]

it's a community run game so it kinda doesn't even matter, we could have been in 2.1 forever and been fine lol

[@handsomeavocado14]

I think your expectations are just too high. Although I do agree it could of come out sooner, I think that’s just because robtop kept adding new things instead of finishing the important stuff

[@darksun4029]

Start working on the game with rob than

[@crimsonamogsus7351]

Go ahead and work on the game then

[@theonlyvolume8201]

Idk if this is too much of a hot take, it’s more just talking about feelings. I took a break from playing GD for like 3-4 years and then decided to come back to it in January 2024. I was one of many that fully accepted that Silent Clubstep was impossible, no matter what. When I initially came back, I learned of a “Demon List” and saw Silent Clubstep as not even number 1. It was number 3 at the time. A few weeks later, I see the level being beaten as like a regular extreme demon, people make memes out of it, I even saw people tryna make Silent Clubstep 2. The amount of change that this game went through just through the completion of that level alone just didn’t sit right with me. I know it kinda sounds like “Ooh bro’s mad that impossible level got completed ooooooh.” I’m not mad. I’m happy for everyone that conquered that monumental challenge. I think I just need a few more months to adjust. And adjust I will because I’m back to creating!

imo camera controls should mostly be used to reduce the number of blind jumps a level could have, and reduce the amount of screen space the ground (particularly custom ground) takes up on screen I made a layout a while back that uses the offset trigger quite often to show things in advance, makes gameplay feel a lot smoother and gives a lot more freedom for how a level is built when you can guarantee you can use large elevation changes without anything being blind many people only use camera controls for effect and I feel like that's just entirely the wrong approach to take with them. to me camera control feels like a QoL feature more than an effects feature

[@LysticisaW]

0:13 i think this idea could be implemented well if it was only given to elder mods and specific mods that aren't as trusted with good levels. in fact, a new mod rank, being something like "direct mod" or something would make the situation a whole lot easier to deal with.

[@yeeterdeleter0117]

Hexagon Force was my favorite song for YEARS, even before I got the full version of the game, just listening to it on youtube because I found it in some kind of "all gd songs" video. Now, I like DM Dokuro's Calamity music better.

[@darksun4029]

Hexagon force is such a nothing burger to me. The duals and the beginning are fine. But the rest of the level is just boring, including the last duel. But that's just my opinion

Level remakes are almost always great. They celebrate moments and levels important to the community and build meaning off of a love for geometry dash

[@rasheau1]

Mirror portals are underrated, especially when they sync to the music like in Theory of Everything or the first on in time machine.

Hot take: Some hackers end up being really influential and beneficial for the community. SpaceUK was the drive for zZoink to become the Top 1 player. Cyclic's rivalry with Riot caused Riot to become the legend he is today. While hackers are generally looked down upon, we also have to look back a bit to see their influence on the community, with a lot of it having some pretty decent outcomes.

[@F2ZC]

Ik I’m late, but here’s one: With the exception of pretty much any level harder than tidal wave, clicks between frames gives a negligible advantage and therefore is not necessary. Any boost in performance seen is merely placebo effect. This means that clicks between frames should not be banned, however at the same time people shouldn’t be pressured to use it.

​@@LucyBoobyeah. Pretty negative for the most part

the majority of players in the gd community have horrendously high standards for any level they play because they only look at the top of the mill levels that everyone has played (castlemania, white space, WHAT, etc), which causes them to often shit on a level if it isn't up to their absolutely unreasonably high standards. on another note, i have noticed that many stargrinders actually seem to like... enjoy the game and dont have sky high standards so honestly... if you lower your standards for what a good level is in your eyes, you might start appreciating a lot more levels you play and also probably just enjoy the game more.

[@deimosgd]

galaxy collapse would be the best upcoming top 1 to actually fit as a top 1 if it gets re-buffed (sort of like how slaughterhouse’s ‘charm’ made it fit as the hardest level in the game)

[@dreamsdicc1817]

Every top 1 should be open verification unless its a solo project

[@crimsonamogsus7351]

Hot take: Towerverse didn’t deserve the mythic rating. All it is is a regular platformer level, and if anything, levels like Demon park, Bloodbath, Slaughterhouse, What, Dash line, which were all revolutionary for the game

[@spuppity]

Optimization should be a much larger factor in deciding a level's rating especially if it is around easy demon level as people with low-mid end devices will want to play something that looks nice. No point in rating a level as epic or legendary if only 5% of people can play it.

[@JarmezGD]

I feel like this is a hot take but I hate the whole “gd levels are entirely subjective” thing. Like, no, levels can be objectively good or bad based on their quality and originality. You can still like a bad level or dislike a good level but that doesn’t change its quality.

expression and song representation should be more of a factor in rating than the current arbitrary "decoration standards" many standards i feel miss the point of art lowering it to having x y or z in order to be good, when in reality each element of a piece contrabutes to its overall goal, not how technically impressive it is also there should be a better way of sending levels than waiting 5000 years of a server to open requests and live streams

[@kimitsu3807]

Gameplay should be much more important when it comes to rating a level than decoration or effects, you can enjoy the visuals all you want, but to do that you need to PLAY the level, the more unpredictable, poorly structurized or just generally not fun it gets, the least you'll enjoy it.

split72 is INSANELY overrated. majority of her levels have extremely simple block designs and backgrounds with the excuse that its "modern". it is not modern. a level that is a good example of modern deco is acu, it has a lot of originality and the gameplay is fun. if a random unknown creator with 0 or 1 creator points made a level to the same standard as split72 did, it would 1000% not get rated.

[@nightytimealt]

I wouldn't call a creator that consistently gets dogpiled on "insanely overrated." With that being said, I don't think Split is creating the levels for the Creator Points - seems like it's just for the fun of creating. A lot of Split72 levels don't get rated anyway.

CBF is a necessity for lower refresh rates and should be allowed. FPS bypass was allowed before it got into the game in any official manner. And if you wanna go with the argument of not all devices having a fair playing field, people who play on apple devices probably won't have access to Megahack and their allowed hacks due to how strict Apple is with apps. It's something that I'm not entirely sure they can partake in, although i might be wrong about this. Mainly because I don't know if that is the case anymore. This whole thing just feels like a repeat of another mod that was eventually allowed by the demon list, (though i forgot the name, it just removes the two frames of click delay) but on a much larger scale.

hot take: people are too dependant on what their favourite creator says. If colon says he dislikes a level, people will dislike that level too. If wulzy sends hate to a creator, his community will also send hate to that creator. If zoink says the top 1 is not a fun level to play, people will say it's not fun to play [they can't even get 2% on it]. And, on a similar way, people care way too much about top 1 and the demonlist at all. It's there to tell you what levels are the hardest. It should not count who's the best player based on what they have beaten, and creators shouldn't make a level for the sake of it being an extremely hard level. People should just focus on enjoying whatever they like and not follow anyone's opinion or try to be part of that opinion.

Idk if this is a hot take but they should add a new difficulty called extreme, too for a insane, too easy for a demon, the best example is electrodynamix

7:44 im pretty sure they meant that they wouldn't complain if it was featured I might be wrong tho

[@cguralol]

Fixed hitboxes takes the fun part of the game. Zoink is way too idolized after all the space thingy and that's not a good thing Sorry if I made a grammar mistake (I hope I didn't, not my native language)

hot take: gameplay is more important than decoration because id rather have fun playing a level than having to randomly tap because i cant see any of the gameplay

[@GDStriker]

That's not a hot take at all I agree a lot

[@kanatszkus7937]

My Hot take: i think Map Packs are NOT that BAD after returning to Gauntlets. i played Magic Gauntlet and it was TOO cancer. its just Modern Map Packs
