I think Citadel is a good level. The problem is that people see gameplay that they're not immediately used to and label it as "bad" instead of taking the time to learn it and become familiar enough with it to beat it. Not every level needs to be perfectly sightreadable. I mean, it's a demon, so I don't understand why people expect to scope it out in 3-5 attempts like a 6 star. The hate towards the split screen effect is the most upsetting to me. People complain about how it makes the level harder to see. THAT'S THE POINT. And it's not even that much harder to see! It's easy when you click to the music roughly around where the jump indicators are. Most levels when I started playing didn't even have jump indicators. I can't help but feel like a lot of modern GD players don't actually like to play GD. The process of figuring out a level and doing everything right to beat it should be fun and rewarding, but it seems like no one wants to put in the effort. I just wish people could appreciate good levels instead of letting anger cloud their judgment. TL;DR: Citadel good level, just git gud
Absolutely. I beat it the day it dropped, and it wasn't all that bad. I always do a practice run before a demon level, just to get a feel for it, and it was pretty alright. Nothing special, but not the garbage people say it is. I think the main issue is that it's an Event level. This means that way more people will be playing it, including those who may not be prepared for demons. I think, though, if I had to give it any criticism, I'd just say to warn the player of the split screen effect a bit earlier, i.e a dotted line before the slash (watch there actually be one there and I forgot 💀) or something to show the way the gaps in the wave will open, as even with practice, that part would catch me off guard. Outside of that, I agree with your points!
The fact that someone can make something like this and it be this accurate shows the gameplay needed more work before releasing. This is why level creation shouldn’t have deadlines imo
@senvers3459 dude i beat 286 demons and even i think the gameplay is annoying Mainly the split screen section, 56% spider with awkward camera movements making the player die (this one isnt said much) and the last ship But everything else is good
In my brutally honest opinion, people have completely forgotten how to make actually good demon gameplay since 2.2 surfaced. If anything, unmodified platformers have been the funnest to play, and that’s sad.
Oh my goodness gracious!!!! it would appear that Geometry Dash Galofuf has constructed an intentionally godless map satirizing the course of a fellow Geometry-Dash builder, Sub-Woofer! If mine eyes doth deceive me, It would appear that the romp has been constructed in such a way as to jest particular areas of the original "level" via satirical exaggeration!!!! Good-Heavens!!!!
Do you like this level? I personally enjoyed this level overall. The hardest part for me was the wave part, but that's because I have a massive skill issue in the wave. I also thought the split screen section was by far the easiest part of the level. I was able to read that part pretty easily.
LMFAO this is fantastic
yeah
You should take this feedback
Me When Subwoofer Commented On This: 💀
hey man how do you do the first swing
The bad thing is that on the phone it takes three days to click.
dude this is genuinely the most accurate depiction of citadel i've ever seen 😭

@@digicell2882 it is more acurate than the name citadel too 😭
The split screen part killed me bro 😭😭😭
Tryde
Me too bro 😭😭😭

The congregation jumpscare dude 😭
FR😭
BANGERRRRRRRRR
The original may have gotten legendary but this deserves Super-Mythic-Ultra-Supreme
The way you go through the blocks at 1:39 is so accurate I love this video
Why is this so accurate
gotta love the progressbar going backwards
That split screen part is extremely accurate, and I guarantee you that's what all new players (me included) saw the first time they did that part
All of us
NAHHHH THE DISS IS CRAZY LMAO

Skill issue, unfortunately
yall just so bad at the game lmao don’t criticize this level cuz ur not able to beat it dumbasses
Anyone who complains about the gameplay don't know what they are talking about. Its as easy as it gets lmao

LMAO the fact that this is accurate makes it more funny
Dude played it 10 times then recreated the whole thing from memory 😭
depending on what you mean it could be either less than 10 or more than 10
is this the new "everafter" that everyone was talking about
1:14 caught me off guard 💀

I AUDIBLY LAUGHED ON THE FIRST SHIP PART BRO THE SWOOSH 😭
The congregation jumpscare transition was fantastic
The first ship and swingcopter fxcking killed me.. SO DID THE SPLIT SCREEN 😭😭☠️☠️🙏🏻
1:17 Bro just viewed the entire multiverse
i started laughing because this is ACTUALLY kind of accurate LOL
the first ufo part i actually started laughing out loud 😭😭😭the way its not even an exaggeration compared to the real thing
If your first time playing Citadel didn't feel like this, something is wrong.
Citadel by Subwoofer IS the GD equivalent of the Thick Of It.
"from the screen, to the ring, to the pen, to the king" ahh triple spike
im in the citadel everybody knows🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥
@@PainkillerDev they know me where my strategy is wacky so they snoozed (lethargy)
Am I actually the only person who likes the level?
The level is pretty cool actually, but the gameplay feels a little odd
@@fahwe7099 ✅
@@fahwe7099always subwoofer gp is really bad, but his deco is amazing 😭😭
Skill issue
@@fahwe7099 I was told Skill issue in Sikky's discord server when I said the same exact thing.
1:13 LMAO THE LOBOTOMY REFERENCE I AM DYING
citadel got rated legendary just because of this song in the level
Most balanced gameplay be like:
the part after the two spider pads in the ship where you forget to go up...i remember it so well 😭
I WAS SCARED TO DEATH I WAS GONNA DIE THERE!!! (I didn't)
I died at 97 or eumn lmao
the upwards slide at 0:17 is so on point its gross bruh the rise to run ratio is massive 💀
This is exactly what I think of citadel. We are doomed there will be no more actually easy easy demons in 2025 💀
i mean... the song's a banger tho lol
Extremely accurate recreation, don't know why you nerfed the split screen part though
I love how the ship part is just the same as the actual level
The first spider is 100% accurate, spamming is how you get through it
1:39 LMFAOO the lack of time to react is perfect
In my brutally honest opinion, people have completely forgotten how to make actually good demon gameplay since 2.2 surfaced. If anything, unmodified platformers have been the funnest to play, and that’s sad.
This is my realistic reaction to playing this the first time in practice mode 😭 praise this man
The first swing gameplay is so accurate lmao
This is definitely winning the gd awards 🔥
Citadel if it was peak:
The infinite split screen goes crazy

I like how you can immediately tell every part he was trying to recreate
Also for the mini wave part you should’ve added grief lmao
LMAO THE SPLIT SCREEN
You're so talented, you managed to recreate Citadel so accurately and in a span of a fews days I think. Also, is this part of the 3rd coin arg thing?
its not
@@galofuf sad
While I didn't have a bad experience in this level nor find it unfun, this is extremely funny and accurate
Sooo, accurate
And the transition with the congregation is perfect
yep this is the greatest level not just in gd, but of all time
Why is this so fire?
why does this have more likes than subwoofer showcasing his one 😿
perfect recreation
This is the video ever🗣🗣🔥🔥
XDDDDD , as good as the original level frrr
You cooked both levels, the layout and the original tho, very cool :)
why is this so accurate 😭
this is probably more enjoyable than the real lvl
Citadel by Subwoofer but you have dementia
I think this is your new best. Honestly.
we are baked buns cooked with this one 🔥
i love how bro have death off (forgot the setting)
THE SKULL AT THE END 😭😭😭
Why is this so accurate 😭😭😭
Close enough, welcome back subsandwich
This is actually so hilarious i love it
Exactly how I remember it
never played the original so i believe this
that swing gameplay is pretty accurate
0:49 shoulda included the blur
This Is How Citadel Feels To Play
unmatched shitpostery
LMFAO people did NOT like that level. Yeah, it was definitely tricky.
WHICH ONE DO I CLICK!?!?!?
0:52 do you ever feel?
1:13 how everyone felt when they reached that part
0:23 FOCUS
1:14 this suddenly turned into an average lobtotmy level
Better than the original lowkey
this is the funniest thing i've seen in a LONG ass time.
This is honestly the best thing I've seen all week
The dorabae choose way part killed me
Your wave icon looks like corn
Bro uploaded the layout and thought we wouldnt notice
Uhhh galofuf did you make this while your drunk or smtng? Bc damn this is really accurate 😅
i made this while i was bored
I fucking love how accurate is this
That last ship part was me 99% of the time
Exactly how i felt playing this
very relatable ngl
the skull at the end 😭
10/10 level but my eyes hurt from the swing part
I saw the level showcase and I havent even played the level till now but, this was EXACTLY what I thought of the gameplay
Bro got the layout figured out
