Let's be real for a moment. Robtop is never adding Meltdown, World or SubZero to the main version because they make a lot of money being separate games exclusively for mobile. He's even said that himself on several occasions. I'd love for them to be in the main version, but it's just not happening.

About making levels from the spin-offs available, Robtop has said before he won’t due that as they are a big part of the revenue of the game. So instead of doing that I believe simply adding the missing icons to the base game and updating the spin-offs would be a better idea.

[@bluecubeidk]

[@blokvader8283]

See, I don't understand that, because if you've played the free games and then downloaded the full version, you're not gonna be playing the free games anymore. There's no reason to just throw them into the paid game, since... you've already paid for it. Also I like Colon's idea where the levels are hidden so you actually have to play the base game a lot before you can unlock them

maybe it could jump after exiting the ground, with the jump height affected by how long you hold (e.g. quick tap = teleport, followed by small hop, while holding for a bit longer allows you to reach full jump height) an 'm' block could also be used to prevent digging into the blocks it's on, instead just performing the robot-like jump

in-game NONG audio support is definitely not something RobTop can do. if it were supported it would mean that RobTop trusted EVERYONE to NEVER upload a SINGLE LEVEL with a copyrighted song without the consent of the music label owning the rights to the song or if the musician(s) who created the song if they don't have a music label (yes, copyright is controlled by the music label and not the artist). NOT ONCE EVER. because if the music label or artist finds out and doesn't like it, THEY CAN GET THE GAME DELETED PERMANENTLY. remember, unlike the Roblox corporation, RobTop doesn't make billions of dollars and cannot survive a large copyright lawsuit.

I see 2.3 as being a quality of life update. There’s not much you could add to 2.2, other than making the player account more personalized and better comment sections How to improve comment section: -Being able to sort with more options (oldest to newest, or least liked to most liked) -Being able to edit comments -Being able to go to pages of comment sections easily -Being able to make longer comments (will require player to click “more”) How to improve player account: -Allow players to see how many demons of each difficulty they have beaten by clicking the demon icon -Allow the players to see how many levels of each difficulty they have beaten by clicking the star icon -Allow the owner of the account to pin a post to the top -Allow the player to be able to sort the posts (oldest to newest) -Allow the owner to edit posts -Allow the owner to link to levels in post (useful for mentioning that your new level is out, or just recommending a level to others) -Show how old the account is -Be able to share replays of levels you beaten or died to to friends. -Be able to post replays to your account page of said levels.

idea: gamemode tags you can put a tag on your level of what game mode it is (mostly) so like if you have a level with alot of ship but some cube you could say its a ship level this would be nice if you wanted to practice ship or something without just doing dumb strait fly chalenges

[@charlessantos2797]

Can they add a new block that looks like the player's icon? Levels use the default icon for making animations... Atleast a block for each gamemode like cube, ship, ball, and more... Although it's a small change to the community but a nice touch to top of the level's animations...

[@gmdwhatever]

0:35 Most likely because RobTop makes a lot of money from the spinoff games (World, Meltdown, Lite and Subzero), because they have ads in them, and the developer might want to keep it that way. He himself said that the free spinoffs (the ones with ads) make more money than the paid game. I'm not saying that RobTop is money hungry, it's just facts that I mentioned, that the free games make more money for the developer.

From a legal perspective, custom songs are never coming out do to possibly allowing inappropriate audio, or copyright issues with the creators. I think (since AI music is now possible) a song should be generated to sync with the layout, but you can still use a song of your choice (e.g: if I use the song Fortnite Battlepass, it'll create another song that sounds similar but isn't the same).

[@dunkedidklol]

My idea is: Make it so each icon (only for different gamemodes, not all the icons) have a different color. Examples: The robot will have a different color than the cube, the ship will have a different color than the robot and cube, and so on.

2.3 idea: Event Trigger I'm pretty stupid with level creating and triggers, so I don't know if there's stuff similar to this. All I know is that there is On Touch and On Death. Event Trigger is basically a Spawn trigger but it has a corresponding event to it. It would have multiple events to choose, like P1 jumped, P2 jumped, landed, used an orb or pad, stuff like that. Though I'm not sure how useful would that be. Maybe for minigames and boss fights?

About the custom songs, I think it'd be easier and more efficient for the game to make a new endpoint/php file to get the songs, because if they had a random ID, you'd need to go through EVERY custom/newgrounds song and make sure it is not the same (low chance of them being equal but better safe than sorry)

Anyway, I came up with an idea over a year ago, in July 2022, for green and black trampolines that would be functionally similar to the green orb from 2.0 and the black orb from 2.1. And they could come in handy for creating auto-levels officially or online. I also came up with a robot orb and a trampoline. The robot trampoline would come in handy for creating auto levels. It will maximize the robot's jumps. Although you can add trigger blocks (like d, j, s, h). This will be a block with the letter R (well, or S can be reprogrammed for this orb and trampoline). It will stop the action of the robot being tossed by the trampoline. I also wanted to add a monowheel that would bounce due to gravity, but changed my mind because the physics would be like a ball. So I came up with a mode called Balloon. The physics would be like a wave, only when you let your finger off the screen, it would bounce into the air like a swingcopter and come down like a UFO. This may be added in version 2.3 or 2.4.
