9 minutes long level i started 7 months ago is finally finished! when i have listened to "commatose" by glass beach for the first time i decided that it is like the best song ive ever heard. then I realized that I wanted to build a level using this song, and even then I had ideas for almost every part and that ideas remained until the release of the level. for example: the last part of the level is the first thing that came to my mind when listening to this song. i really like how i managed to create what i imagined from the start even after 7 months. i think this level turned out really good and it is definitely my best.
also thanks to @ImMaxX1 for helping me with some stuff like merging
thanks to @maxxormen for verifying the level and thanks to all playtesters for making this level fun to play (hopefully)

I know you're not gonna see this anyway, but I just want to say that this level is an absolutely beautiful work of art. At each part I felt genuine emotions, from the pure rage of the "SOS" screams with the fiery red setting at 4:38, the desperation of the lyrics with the shaky camera and abyss angels frantically zipping across the foreground at 5:05, the somber loneliness of the dark and minimal decoration and slow gameplay at 5:44, and so on.
(YOU SHOULD SHOW THIS LEVEL TO THE GLASS BEACH MEMBERS, I'M SURE THEY'LL LOVE IT!!)
Hell, I consider this a full-on music video for this song considering how faithful the level is to the song. The level does more with the song than what I can list from my superficial analysis below:
- incorporating the turquoise and orange color palette of the cover album
- using the cover art's abyss angel as a recurring element of decoration during the middle part (for example 3:36, 4:04, 4:46, 5:12; the abyss angel doesn't appear again after the most emotionally-charged part which is the middle part's climax; perhaps this is intentional symbolism?)
- referencing "cul-de-sac" at 3:38, the name of another song in the plastic death album
- the decoration syncing with specific instruments (for example: spikes stabbing the gears synced to the drums and cymbals at 3:06, the foreground UI rectangles appearing to the beat of the drums before stretching away with the cymbal hit at 4:48, the UI and background lines pulsing with the guitar strings at 6:22, the UI row of dots scrolling to the arpeggios at 8:08, and so on)
- matching the theme and detail to the lyrics at each part (the camera moves to the left when the lyrics say "to the left" at 3:14. Another example is 4:31, where the hopeless emotion evoked by "plastic death, suck the marrow till there's nothing left" is complemented with a blue color palette, which is generally associated with sadness. A third example is the rainy setting and weather radar minimap at 6:56, which alludes to the earlier lyric "weathered white, in tempestuous tides" during the mountain climb part)
- Also a super neat detail I noticed is how the level interprets the song's ending: it begins with a bright, triumphant tone during the spam gameplay and then gradually changes to a darker, more distraught tone as the player begins to pass by ruined buildings. In that end part, I love how the level represents the music's descending droning with the air siren horns at 8:42.
I can go on and on about every detail in this level, but you get the point. Every single detail has intent and love behind it and I deeply appreciate this level because of it. And thank you so much for making me discover glass beach with this level---I've become obsessed with that band as a new gleacher.
thanks for such kind words! :3
I did not realize just how much detail this level had in it. Props to rply for making this absolute masterpiece of a level
Easy contender for level of the update so far. As someone who has never even heard this song before it’s like you took the pure essence of it and perfectly transcribed every moment into the medium you created this in. Take pride in this. It is something truly special.
Okay maybe "level of the update" was an understatement. It feels like my decade with this game has led up to this level. This is genuinely perfect. I hope somehow, someway, glass beach sees this level. I could not even begin to imagine what it would feel like to see a song I made transcribed like this. This is a celebration of art and music unlike any I have seen before in this game. Congratulations on Legendary - I have a feeling if it wasn't a nong it would have received a fairer rate, if you catch my drift, but this is well deserved regardless.
@@solo._.dude15I feel like that's an overstatement. But I can see wbere you come from.
bonkers take but the level is good
i've never felt such a sense of catharsis in a level until this one. the progression is second to none, and this is easily my favourite level of the update so far. incredible work.
never expected to see a glass beach level in gd i love it
there is a level called glass beach also
Got chills at 3 different parts of the level.
Possibly level of the year for me, along with menace.
You outdid yourself with this one rply, great job, you bring to this game the creativity it deserves.
🔥i jus ran into your comment out of nowhere man
i love when creators embrace designing around the native gd blocks, instead of hiding them (like at 1:03). i've seen it done in levels like it back, and not only does it help with object counts, it makes for compelling and creative visuals that you won't see elsewhere.
absolutely love how you represented every detail, because i very foolishly skipped over plastic death and this gives me so much more appreciation for its intricacies
fr!!!
this is it, the level of the decade.
this is the reason why gd is my favorite game, so much emotion and passion can be expressed on a single level, and creators pushing the limits of the level editor like no one ever could. thank you for the amazing experience rply!!
i'M GLEACHING. An actual love card to the band and the fans. Thank you so so much for making this!
Ok i’m sorry i used the editor
..okay, ill gush about this level too.
This level is absolutely *phenomenal*. This has probably been said before, but it's pretty much a visualization of the song itself; the progression is on POINT, the object usage is not only unique and helps representation tremendously (not to mention very optimized from what i'm seeing, wow!!), but also just.. a joy to look at, it's so so charming. The colors usage, the pulses, the flashes, how the area triggers were used and oh my god, how the scale triggers are used and the way the objects stretch, squash in the intense parts of the song feels so perfectly fitting and so distinctly, undescribably.. glass beach. And the calm parts leading up to them are done super duper well done too, tremendously increasing their impact.
At some points, the color scheme reminds me of the plastic death cover art, and there's even direct references to it beyond the color scheme which i love so so much!! (I will admit i dont listen to glass beach as much as i should, but their songs are ALWAYS a treat, all of their songs in plastic death are no exception. There are other gd levels with glass beach songs and I eat them up too, good lord I do, but this is just.. on another level, because it's enhanced by the use of many 2.2 features that i can only describe as perfectly fitting)
How you were able to keep up motivation with ideas flowing all throughout the creation process for NINE MINUTES OF RUNTIME is not only a testament to the greatness of the song, but also your creating prowess, resilience and your success at just.. capturing the song at a level that many levels can only hope for.
I gushed a lot and i could go on, but you get the point. And there's probably so so many things and details i missed in my rush to yap about this level!! All in all, insane work. I can't speak for the gameplay rn, but seriously, this is something insane.
omg thank you for such kind words!
is there any glass beach level other than commatose cus i want to play it too
I've been playing this game for almost 11 years and this is genuinely one of, if not the most impressive thing I've ever seen
Gd never fails to introduce me to so many songs and bands i didnt think id ever had known otherwise
glass beach is legendary
This is almost 10 minutes of just pure visualization of the song's mood and theme to perfection
alright guys we've reached peak it doesnt get better than this
seriously, this level is AMAZING. everything just works perfectly together and it overall makes for not just a level, but more of a journey. i especially 7:57 where all the chaos just stops in a moment of glory with the flashing and the perfect background colors. easily my new favorite level ever, thank you so much for making this
You are so talented, keep up the great work man. This is an absolute masterpiece in every aspect.
I couldn't imagine how hard and frustrating it was to decorate a level that's almost 10 minutes, but you did an amazing job. Mythic for sure!
absolutely amazing. honestly. i almost cried playing this level and they may be because im emotional but holy shit this level gave me the feels and not in a bad way
i wish someone taught me how to create like this because ive wished i could do stuff like this for YEARS. i hadn't heard of you till this level but PLEASE don't stop unless your burnt out or need to take a break for one reason or another because this stuff keeps me playing the game
as a massive glass beach fan youve done this song more justice than i can even put into words
not only insanely good job on the level, but thank you for expanding a masterful song into a masterful visual experience
my absolute favorite level of all time. 7:27 is probably the best climax to any level i've ever seen, and basically every aspect of this level is perfect in my eyes (progression, song rep, gameplay, decoration, etc.) and i cannot imagine any other level topping this for a WHILE
i've been glazing this essentially for the past 2 months since this came out but mannn this level deserves it so much
if this doesnt get an award we don't deserve this game
This is my #1 level. **Ever.**
The design is minimalist in a perfect way, the gameplay is awesome, it's a joy and gives a good fuzzy feeling. Incredible job.
The definition of peak
THE BEST LEVEL IN THE GAME, ABSOLUTE PEAK, SUPER PROUD OF U RPLY 😻
Thank you HECHIE !!!!
@@rplygmdhello😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
This is literally the first and only level I've seen that actually gave me goosebumps. Even well rested couldn't do that. I'm convinced i actually teared up a little at the end. I wish i could see it for the first time again. Thank you for introducing this absolutely banger of a level to the community and thank you personally for introducing this song to me.
Every detail in this level is perfect, every time I look at this I notice something I didn't before
This got to be one of the most well crafted masterpieces I've ever seen in this game. You're extremely talented and this work of art shows it pretty damn well ^^
This level geniuenly made me cry, I dont think anyone can understand how perfect this level is.
everything feels on the right place, it feels like it came directly from ur brilliant mind without any problem or change along the way, it feels so effortlessly good (even tho it took you 7 months)
This is the kind of levels I thought i could only dream of
I just want to say thank you, thank you for making this Absoulte masterpiece.
My god, the amount of detail in this level, despite it's simple appearance.
The way the gears get impaled and stop in the UFO part, the usage of the area pulse trigger, the mountain in the latter half of the level, the drawing effects in parts of the level, the transition to the chorus of the song (i love that transition so much).
Damn even the way the structures "crumble" when you dash to them in the last cube part. This level is full of little details, that even roughly 4 weeks after it's release I keep finding little details here and there, like the mentioned crumbling.
You should feel proud of this level, the progression is superb, the gameplay is visible enough to be enjoyable to play, the uniqueness of the details and the fact that you managed to keep this level of consistency during 9 fucking minutes....
This had more commitment than most relationships xD
Ok jokes aside, this is arguably the level of the year, a masterpiece that shall be remembered, and thanks for presenting an epic band I never heard of, this song is so pretty omg
I've seen thousands of levels in this game and I've never seen anything as amazing as this. EASILY my new favorite level in the whole game. No competition.
completely agree.
so real actually same here ❤
one of those levels i ALWAYS rewatch when its recommended to me. Genuine perfection
best thing made in 2.2 this is genuinely so good
incredible stuff, good job
The teacher praised his mentor, how sweet🥺
fr lol
@@Polengdd Huh what
Progression - amazing. Sync - beautiful. Colours - brilliant. Mythic - surely
5:44 just practiced this level, i didn't know there was a mechanic here, you must balance in the blue line or else the spike on the right will come closer to you, i thought you're just gonna make sure the swingcopter stay in the middle, not touching the top and the white part below, and the white part goes up which makes it tight
I don’t think I’ve had a level take me on such an emotional rollercoaster in my life, the part when the song started getting really intense left me with goosebumps, amazing song representation. this was a very inspiring level to watch. the way it all unfolded as more time passed is fucking insane, i really look forward to more levels from you.
awesome work dawg
this level is incredible, ive never had a definitive favorite level in this game until now. everything about this level is just incredible, the song representation, the progression, the deco, the gameplay, i adore this level
5:27 - 7:27 words cannot explain the uneasy feeling i get whenever i look at this part
been replaying this level as of late, this is fantastic, one of my favorite and the best levels ever
also 6:19 is one of my favorite transitions of all time, simple but it works so well with the song idk how to explain!! i also love the minimap detail on the uphill part that one always gets me whenever i look at the level, and the background adds so much to the mysterious nature of the song i love it
I want to take a moment to appreciate this level.
I love this level for everything it is, everything it tries to be (which it succeeds on everything), and how much soul and personality this level has. I can’t thank you enough for making this level.
I've been a glass beach fan since TFGBA but I never listened to the album plastic death until this level came out and oh god, I was missing on so much.
Rply, if you are reading this, please, know that we all appreciate your work and that you are amazing. I still can not thank you enough for this.
:3c
I still cant comprehend a level of this quality is possible even after rewatching it many times. I really like when levels execute in modules since its much more memorable and the song representation, coloring, structuring and designs really line up well in each part, and I haven't seen something like this anywhere since cold sweat. It requires a lot of skill in many categories to produce an atmosphere like this. Good job, i got chills from 2:12 - 3:00. Definitely mythic if not for the nong
this level is absolutely incredible, awesome work :) i love the song representation
This is an absolute masterclass in music representation, TONS of style and charm, hands down one of my new favorite levels now
Masterpiece of a level. Genuinely one of my favourites of all time. You did such a good job with this ❤
THIS IS INCREDIBLE
definitely going on my fav levels list
i changed my mind... this is my favorite level
Это очень тяжело описать словами насколько шедеврален этот уровень. Музыка здесь передана просто великолепно, как и геймплей, так и декор описаны мастерски. Уровень довольно атмосферный, что как по мне не часто встречается в гд левелах. Я хоть и не люблю длинные уровни, но этот вызвал у меня такие эмоции, что его длина для меня только плюс. В общем 10/10, один из моих самых любимых уровней в игре.
love this level i have a 18-78 because that part of orb spam is insane! hope you make more levels!
Beyond beautiful
The amount of times I've rewatched this level because of the beauty it portrays from the song representation to the designs.. this has quickly made it into my top 10 favorites in this game 🤍
Its insane how the support for this level is overwhelmingly positive. And i dont blame anybody. This level truly feels brilliant. But its hard to tell why this level seems to stand out more than any other. Maybe the style?
i keep coming back to this level. i never get tired of it. probably never will. thanks for the masterpiece. :)
This level is a work of art, the gameplay looks phenomenal and the deco is so unique and beautiful, sucks that it doesn’t have Mythic, oh well, it’s still amazing nonetheless, keep up the work rply!
The attention to detail in every part is amazing. Even the more empty parts of the level have so much care put behind each object. And when the level reaches its climax, it hits so hard. This is probably the best 2.2 level yet, and it definitely deserves a mythic rating.
Perfect level😊
One of, if not the BEST LEVELS EVER
This is my favourite glass beach song, and to see such a masterpiece made out of it is a miracle - you deserve an award❤
Absolutely beauty! One of the best 2024 levels for sure! I can feel love and care in every single block! True artist!
arguably one of the greatest levels ever made - the build-up and release of tension is flawless and nearly unmatched. the only thing that i can think of that comes close is well rested; great work again
Absolutely marvelous, i watched the level like 10 times
There are only a few levels give me that feeling of a journey, a complete product - this is one of them. I couldn't imagine you doing the song more justice than this, it's perfect
I respect this on so many levels man its crazy
First year of 2.2 and people are making master pieces like this... It's beautiful 🍞❤️
one of the levels that made me actually dropped my jaws.. its beautiful and no words i could possibly use to describe how ethereal this felt.. amazing stuff man...
something about this level feels so different which makes it deserve mythic, insane demons are always the best//////
Being homest here, the level is great, song representation is great too, but I feel like people are exaggerating a bit.
Again, level's great, but it doesn't quite hit "Mythic great" for me. It's not groundbreaking, it's pretty much a level that happened to have good song representation is all. And I believe Rob has the same view, considering how most mythics present either groundbreaking visuals or just don't feel like GD at all, like Towerverse.
In my eyes, a legendary rating is perfect for the level, an Epic would've fit too, but i think it'd be a tad unfair considering how long the level is. This is nothing but my point of view, however.
an actual masterpiece. thank you for this level, and thanks for letting me playtest!
I genuinely do not know how to explain how phenomenal this level is. The art direction shows so many emotions that I felt, thank you for this amazing art piece.
I found this level on youtube yesterday, and since then I genuinely can't stop thinking about this. This level has some of the best song representation and progression I've seen in this game, and this is definitely my favorite level of the year!
This level really is masterful
amazing level, perfect decoration, perfect song representation and amazing song. really excited to see what you and other creators make once 2.2 has been around for longer.
I am so incredibly happy to see such an amazing and fitting level for a glass beach song. Awesome work :]
thank you so much for making an amazing level with a song from one of my favorite bands ever, absolutely stunning!!!
This is not a level this is an experience!
consistent, clean, and captivating throughout the level's entirety, your talent shines piercingly bright with this work. congratulations on finishing this !!
this level is just amazing, level of the year to me. the song representation is just PERFECT + i love glass beach
if i had to describe it in 1 sentence i'd say "classic j dies and turns into a gd level part 1"
never seen a level like this before in my life. i actually feel feelings from this level lol
This is by far the most beautiful Geometry Dash level I have ever seen, it's even one of the most beautiful gameplays in a game I've ever seen. A true masterpiece in all senses of the word! I can't imagine the effort you must have put into this. This is such a beautiful example of what people are capable of creating and the joy it brings to others. Thank you for the hard work Rply, you've blessed us all with your creation!
absolutely beautiful level, such a perfect love letter to this song
glass beach is like one of my favourite bands EVER and this might be my new favourite level EVER, AWESOME WORK !!!!
Yeah this is phenomenal
This is a masterpiece. Brilliant work.
This is incredible
dude the joy i felt when i saw my favorite creator released a 9 minute level was enough to make me hold in a fat brick for 10 more minutes while cackling with joy
I can not stress enough all the things I love to death about this level. This is nothing short of incredible and easily one of my new favorites of all time :) good stuff!!!
i was a huge glass beach fan but i havent been listening to them as much recently & i think this completely reinvigorated my love for them
I’m going to comatose for next few years after this level
Hello😊😊
idk how to put it into words but i felt warmth in my heart while watching through this
Just beaten it yesterday 😊. Those 7 months paid off, this 100% is my favorite level of all time and hardly anything comes close to it.
One of the best viewing and playing experiences ever, absolutely adore it and thanks for introducing me to glass beach!
this is amazing!!! i love the style and song choice!!! kind of reminds me of frutiger metro. so glad i reinstalled geometry dash.
Wow! Never thought a GD level could do this this song justice, but here we are. I love how the calmer parts feel just as important and intentional, especially at 6:20, and the scream part at 4:15 really got me going.
i genuinely think that this is my favorite levels of all time
after beating it (took me 979 attempts 😑), i'm still at awe looking at how beautiful this level is. the song representation, the progression, the decoration, and the gameplay is too good. it doesn't even feel like a level that is 9 minutes long, it doesn't feel annoying for me, that's how fun the level is (imo).
what i really love about this level is its small details, especially at 4:28 where it's flashing images and the creature from plastic death. speaking of the creature from plastic death, i really love how the level presents the creature's presence. it starts off by stalking you, peeking from windows and hiding at 3:25, then it now starts appearing on the block design structures, and finally shutting your eyes at 5:10 saying; "GO TO SLEEP", and slowly fading away. its so good bro, i wish i could make levels more like this LOL
good job rply, what a level, 10/10
one thing i forgot to mention, my favorite part imo is 1:01, i really love its simplicity and how it matches so well with the song. the structures are so good, especially the growing rotating flowers, its just so LWHWODHWKDHWK
thank you for making this level rply
Probably my favourite level of the year and the update. Love this so much.
this level just revived my motivation for building. This is nothing short of amazing and i cant wait to see more of your work
Really good ✨
this is crazy bro 🔥🔥🔥🔥
THIS IS AN ACTUAL MASTERPIECE OH MY GOD
just beat it, absolute wonderful progression and I like this level so much, great work! :)
This is the best thing ive seen in ages from this game. i love the storytelling in this level, and i really aspire to be like you. You killed this man
artists will use every medium they can get their hands on, this is art
this song made me cry on first listen and this level did too thank you rply you're the goat
I LOVE GLASS BEACH BAND I LOVE THIS LEVEL THANK YOU
I never heard of rply before, but after this level he became one of my favourite creators in this game
level made me listen to the whole album quadrice in a day.
Fucking incredible work! The mountain part with the Minimap is my favourite it's so well executed
