  • In this video, we'll be continuing the extreme demon platformer I've been attempting to build in Geometry Dash Update 2.2. This time I'll be building the Robot section, which is.... interesting. Robot is quite infamous in hard platformer levels by now, so it's time to give my take on it. Next time, we finish the base gamemodes with the Spider. See you then!

    Hey sd. I was wondering if you have a verifier. if not i can be the verifier. im pretty good at platformers and i would be honored to tke on this challange. If you do have a verifier then its all good. also 1 tip for the sprider gameplay is try using a lot of slopes like in spidertech. Bc if you dont time it its boring and easy. Or you could do it like a puzzle-timed room. i think that would be fun. anyways if i get to be the verifier or not have a grat day!

    As an integral component of a lake, I find this matter deeply offensive, and I must express my profound dismay and indignation. It is with great reluctance that I address this issue, as I have always considered the harmonious coexistence of all natural elements to be of paramount importance. The river, a vital artery feeding the life of the lake, is not merely a conduit of water but a complex and dynamic ecosystem, playing a crucial role in sustaining the biodiversity and ecological balance of the entire region. To disregard the significance of a river is to undermine the intricate interdependencies that sustain the very fabric of our natural world. This offense is not merely an affront to my existence but to the broader ecological community that relies on the seamless interaction of land and water. It is a stark reminder of the often overlooked but essential functions that rivers perform, including nutrient distribution, habitat provision, and the maintenance of water quality. The health of a lake is inextricably linked to the well-being of its tributaries, and any disparagement of the river reflects a profound misunderstanding of these environmental interconnections. Thus, I urge a reconsideration of this perspective, advocating for a greater appreciation and respect for the role that rivers play within the lake’s ecosystem. It is only through such recognition and reverence for all components of our natural environment that we can hope to foster a sustainable and thriving ecological future.

    ===================================== In this video, we'll be continuing the extreme demon platformer I've been attempting to build in Geometry Dash Update 2.2. This time I'll be building the Robot section, which is.... interesting. Robot is quite infamous in hard platformer levels by now, so it's time to give my take on it. Next time, we finish the base gamemodes with the Spider. See you then!
    =====================================
    Thanks for watching!
