    33:45 Not only does Dash NOT have a UFO part, but it doesn’t even have a dual part! Even if you factor in the 3 spinoff games, there is NO single level that uses the Dual portal since it was introduced in Hexagon Force. In fact the dual portal only shows up in 3 levels in the ENTIRETY of the official and spinoff games where the dual portal shows up, and only ONE level in which it is used in an interesting way. Something tells me that Mulpan was behind this. The dual portal is even less used than the UFO portal.

    To me, Dash isn’t just a level, it’s Robtop’s statement. It’s him realizing that in between 6 years people have took the same game and advanced it way beyond what he ever could. If it feels like he’s throwing everything at the wall, it’s because he is, and it’s him saying “here’s a whole ton of things you can do now, go nuts.” And when the level says “Geometry Dash” it’s his “yeah, this is the new norm” moment. It’s him going “This is Geometry Dash now, and it’s wild. Enjoy it.”
    And thank you for coming to my TED talk.

  • @ElijahTNHK
    @ElijahTNHK 4 місяці тому +1166

    One thing I’m sure of about Dash: it expects you to have played custom levels before, not just only official levels. That’s how I feel Dash was designed.

    • @toastedspiders
      @toastedspiders 4 місяці тому +144

      Makes sense though. If you're here for Dash, you were probably here in the 7 years between updates, playing user levels

    • @Megukagi
      @Megukagi 4 місяці тому +58

      makes sense to me. a lot of people (especially ones that played lite or a spinoff first) will very quickly check out some user made level somewhere. it's not too hard to assume they'd beat say, a gimmicky gauntlet level or something before reaching the skill level to 100% clear dash.

    i love all the parts of dash, so i dont really agree with you on most of this, but i can definitely agree with you on those last 2 coins. the 2nd coin just cant be found for a select few, and that really isnt THAT much of a problem, but it's still an easy fix. the 3rd coin is just obviously stupid though. the first coin i loved because it was sorta like a puzzle. i sat in practice mode to try and figure out how to get that, and i actually never saw the skeleton's eyes turn green, i saw those squares right above the coin. it felt really nice to figure it out, and now i guess it really isnt too interesting, but i still loved it. i feel like a main part of geometry dash is just memory, that is what practice mode is for, and then you put your skills and knowledge to the test in normal mode, so i dont really see a problem with there being no indicators as to like what portals would change or if you will go sideways on a wall, like most of those can just be memorized super easily.

    Quick thing: with the ball part after the *spider* you CAN actually miss the portal in 2 ways, it’s just hard to time and I got it on my first try of it, and was super confused.
    1) you stay as a ball and get sent at Mach 10 into your death
    2) you get turned into a cube… and also get sent to your death at Mach 10

    15:05 the mini potions was added because mini portals clashed with the levels style and would look weird getting crushed by the spikes
    also im pretty sure when we hits the red pad it will already give us an idea what it does
    also I think the f block should be visible and have the same green glow in dash since it would be perfect easy to make and people would know what to do

    Ah, I see where this is going now! You're referring to a specific instance within the "Geometry Dash" community, where the popular UA-camr GD Colon highlighted a particularly tricky or unexpected part of a level, leading to widespread memes and discussions among players. This moment involves a gameplay mechanic or a section of a level that's unexpectedly challenging or counterintuitive, such as navigating a spider through a tight space with little visual cue, which then sparks the question of its sight-readability-essentially, whether a player can successfully navigate it on their first try without prior knowledge.
    The reference to chess, "is this chess move sightreadable?" humorously elevates the discussion, comparing the strategic foresight needed in chess to the quick reflexes and pattern recognition required in "Geometry Dash." It's a playful way the community engages with the game's challenges, turning a frustrating or surprising gameplay moment into a shared joke or meme. These discussions and memes not only highlight the communal culture around "Geometry Dash" but also showcase how players collectively navigate and make sense of the game's most daunting challenges.

    IMO, the ending of Dash is a transition to the Tower, where the player will likely go next. This is reinforced by the fact that you seem to start in some kind of forest, then progress into a temple, and then find a secret way (omg geometry dash reference) leading to a... closed room, that you end up opening by counting to 3 backwards. When you finally break the wall, you see the mechanisms behind the temple that end up opening the entrance to the Tower.

    The F block may feel weird for newer players, but a good use for F blocks would be for hold levels where you can use F blocks and put a text saying that you need to hold. It could be used in a way to make interesting drops without abusing blue pads or portals, otherwise, why did he add it? To just take up another slot in the editor?

    I think people complain about the lack of decoration in the second half of the level because it's much less diverse than the first half. While in the intro you have a lot of variety in the textures used for the blocks, in the second half they mostly stay the same. For example in that ship part, the spikes that you have to fly through appear on tall, identical pillars that take up the entire screen. Some more visual diversity would've been welcome, I think. It just looks too gray. There's also basically no ground deco while it was a big part of the start of the level.

And *3:* His videos don't leave you empty like shorts or tiktok; what he says adds value to the viewer and you are actually a smarter person at the end.

    *4:* He addresses his FLAWE and changes. He said he'll be more positive and he has been a lot more in this video but he is still keeping his criticism side.

    21:03 I use gravity portals to indicate that you’re going sideways, but I just color them in interesting ways instead of leaving them with normal colors. For example, I would use a yellow gravity portal and color it red. Or a blue gravity portal colored purple.

    What a great video colon!!!! I honestly think this was a perfect mix between criticisms and positive things you like about the level. I know you always think you're being too negative but this was a really good balance. And even though its 42 minutes long, I don't know why but I never felt like it dragged on. And all the bits where you show off whats going on behind the scenes or suggestions for improvements were done really well. Congrats on finishing such a long video, have a nice break after this lol 👍

    Colon, I think the reason behind the fire looking portal is the rise of temperature, because in the 2nd swing gamemode it's all fiery.

    I think I know why there is a gravity portal covering the spider portal, So there could've been a coin planned and it would make you go upside down so they probaly forgot to take out the gravity portal after they changed it

    when the update came out, like the very second it did, I was on a call with my partner and she was the one to tell me, after we play Dash for a bit, eventually I notice the slight difference in the zapper and kinda make fun of the fact that she can't see red at all, it just grey, however she did help with the first coin because green was the only color that she saw.

    27:42 this happens depending on the headphones/speaker that you're using. If you're using dollar store earphones or your phone speakers then you're almost not gonna hear anything. But if you're using stuff like a good pair of headphones then you can hear and even feel it. I believe this is called sub bass which is the bass you can feel (when incredibly low) but I may be wrong on that

    for the first coin i think a better thing for it could be maybe making a spider or go up and there would be a platform with a wall with spikes on it so u cant fall onto it and you hit all 5 to have a spider orb go up you land on the platform and it uses the same gimmick as the platforms above where when u jump you change gravity but you underneath the on that has a torch on it and get the coin there and then you can fall back onto the main track from it

    Just a short correction, in the first coin part, the 5 squares actually represent the 4 yellow blocks plus the red one. I figured it out on my second attempt but I understand how it could be confusing.
