    It's always cool to see how many non-GD youtubers still play the game today and enjoy it! So far Geometry Dash is the one game I have never quit even after playing it since 2014 and I don't think I'll ever quit tbh. The community and levels people make are amazing!

    I’ve sort of left the community of geometry dash a few years ago, but seeing these levels really gave me a weird sort of hatred nostalgia for them. I remember playing levels like “Theory of relativity” and raging so hard because of how terrible they were. I played it a lot back then, but after a while it got kinda boring. I stopped grinding, I phased off the leaderboard and disappeared from the community. But this video just sorta gave me a strange feeling of nostalgia over these levels I hated so much. Great video Alex ;)

    As always, its dope seeing a non-GD youtuber talking about GD. Also, I find the Chase levels in the gauntlet worse mainly bc of the difficulty balancing, and if its not him, then I consider Darkness Keeper by AbstractDark the worst gauntlet level in Geometry Dash, but I digress. Overall I like how you cover the more in-depth side of GD levels that not many outsiders know about without being complicated. It just makes for a good proper introduction to the game, and Im all in for it. ^^
    Also for the map packs... PG Clubstep. Enough said. :)

      the thing that makes chase levels so insufferable is that 90% of them only work on low refresh rates, which, for 360hz players, can make the levels way harder than they were meant to be.

    Honestly I think that having to memorize easier difficulty levels is an issue with map packs. So many earlier map pack levels require memorization that doesn't seem fun to do unless if it is rated insane difficulty or above. Levels like square adventure and portal hold this issue and it's why I personally despise map pack levels. Also when you finally get to the demon levels and think the memorization will finally be bearable now, you get starquake. Anyways this was a great video! :D

    I want to make one major correction about why I used to hate Dynamic on Track and why many players likely hated it. There was a bug in that level for a long time that rendered it unbeatable to anyone with a refresh rate higher than 60hz. Meaning you would have to lower your refresh rate in order to complete a 5 star. Obviously, it wouldn't be that bad with megahack nowadays, but before the level was updated there wasn't easy way to make that happen. Meaning for players like myself, it was annoying to attempt to complete.
    Obviously, that shouldn't ruin a reputation for an entire level, but it definitely causes me flashbacks anytime I see the name Dynamic on Track

I thought that msm was just a weird game that was like, idk, Dragon City and just didnt play it. But once you made a tierlist about the songs on msm, I listened to them, and immediately downloaded the game. I love it. Thank you so much. This game is so good and thx to you ive loved this game. Right now im speedrunning the islands to get all the monsters. Hope for the best for you since, honestly... after the pvz2 but only pvz1 videos, you're one of my favourite youtubers mate (im not british i just like saying mate). Anyways, time to watch the video. Ill edit the comment once im done watching it.
    Welp, great video! It would be cool to see your favourite levels! Or maybe, favourite level by every pack and like not do a full 5 minutes for every level, maybe like 1 minute per favourite level? I dont remember how many packs are there, but i would suggest to do that. Also good job! Continue with the good stuff.

There’s also a lack of videos reviewing the game, especially from non battle cats youtubers, and it’d be amazing to see you make a video on it. You might have to sink a lot of hours into the game to get a good understanding of it, though. But anyways, keep up the amazing work!

    @hyphe1337 4 місяці тому +1

    I have two least favorite levels
    And funnily enough both of them are not only from Gauntlets but also suffer from a similar issue...
    Sightreadability
    The two levels in question are Vibration by Schady (4th demon Gauntlet level) and Hellgate Menace by Chase (Final Monster Gauntlet level)
    Starting with Vibration since it's so much Shorter to express my frustration with this level
    Basically it's a level where consistency is non-existent
    Shit appears in your face without warning
    And it is impossible to know where you go next
    Special mention to the part where you have to skip a blue gravity portal that looks way too much like the intended path, that is just evil
    Also the level's decoration is just... Uninteresting and Bland, I would not remember this level's existence if it wasn't so bad
    As for Hellgate Menace
    Chase is known to make levels that are basically impossible to beat without practice mode
    And bossfights (which is what the monster Gauntlet is all about) tend to be difficult to sightread when attacks are telegraphed poorly or just not at all (See the 2nd level of that same Gauntlet) put those two things together and you get a level that looks nice but is absolutely horrendeus to play
    Alot of attacks are telegraphed poorly to the point where you either run into the attack anyway or have no idea how you're dodging it to begin with
    And that's when the level is nice enough to telegraph said attacks since there are also bats that shoot fireballs that are hard to see with all the other stuff flying across the screen which can and very much so will kill you
    Oh yeah did I mention this is only phase 1
    Phase 2 has more unpredictable bats and completely untelegraphed attacks but here I can kinda excuse it since the path is straightforward enough where you can get it while sightreading
    Phase 3 isn't that bad except whoopsie the boss's final form looks like decoration and it zaps you when you aren't looking
    Hellgate Menace is probably worse but honestly both levels caused me a more or less equal amount of pain

    I never knew Geometry Dash had a following. Yeah I knew people played it even after 10 years (Happy belated 10 year anniversary btw, GD) but I find it astonishing that such a simple game is this popular. Anyway, I think GD is a cool game, though I will admit the levels in the game (specifically the ones you provided in the video) seem more focused on appearances than gameplay, and I am not a huge fan of rapid flashing lights. At least, that’s my opinion.
    GD, for me, was one of those games where I played it and stepped away from it after a week or two. Seeing this video reminded me of the good times I had of GD, albeit short, and recording a cringe-ass video on it roughly over 7 years ago. 😅
    Overall this was a great video and I’m interested to see what else you’ve got planned.

    Absolutely loved this video. I’ve been playing actively for 8 years now and it’s fun to see someone pick apart levels from when I was still starting out.
    As for my picks…
    - Hellgate Menace is probably the worst gauntlet level for me. Impressive visually but a chore to play
    - PG clubstep probably isn’t the worst demon in the map packs but it is the hardest, and all map pack demons are basically equally awful if you ask me.
    - The entire doom gauntlet could take this spot but I dislike Nowise I’m particular. Just found it really annoying honestly.

    I actually argue that, despite having all the markers of a bad map pack level, I really like Tyrian Wall. It takes be back to the oldest days of geometry dash, and makes me feel like I’m a god at the game. It looks very similar to old impossible levels without the actual difficulty, which gives me a level of satisfaction that should be impossible for an 8-star. Some of the gameplay is rather fun too, at least when you get the hang of it. The first ball is one of my favorites.

    The name of the 5 stars one: eutrophication
    The name of the 4 stars one: evolution
    15:30 yeah, i defo think that some levels should be pumped up in terms of the star dificulty, soo it can be liked more, like those 4-5 stars level that i said, they are like 8-9 stars, though they are still totally umbalanced mess with hard demon ufo Gameplay

    I'm so surprised no-one every talks about how bad Polyhedral from the ice gauntlet is, the block design is the same the whole way through. the drop is just... going in a straight line with 10% of it being little bits of gameplay and the gameplay as a whole is very weird, to say. like the gameplay is wrong, some parts you have to buffer weirdly or have click patterns that don't fit. if you don't know what I mean just look at 77% - 79%. The level as a whole is such an uninspired mess with a repetitive song.

    oh man, as a Samsung mobile player, oh for the love of god did I hate Odyssey. The lag was unbearable at the drop, and the abrupt speed changes are only made like 10 times harder by my device running at a crispy -20 frames a second. An interesting thing about Odyssey, it's not alone in being a shitty magic gauntlet level, Kalaxian (the one before it) is ass and the one after (Empyrean) is satan spawn, and on my device about as laggy as Odyssey, just not a good gauntlet.

  • @james2be916
    @james2be916 6 місяців тому +2

    11:40 Wait, by this logic decoration in levels should straight up not exist. Whilst I do agree that the 2.0 update to the level made it look unclean, unsightreadable, and bad, this criticism is pretty dangerous to apply to all levels.

    • @theoriginalalex
      @theoriginalalex  6 місяців тому

      although i get where you’re coming from, i think ToR’s case a little too specific to apply to all levels. ToR looked perfectly fine before being updated, and if the creator really wanted to update the gameplay, they could’ve stuck to the level’s original visual style for the sake of consistancy (because unlike most other online levels, ToR is in a map pack which every player is required to beat so long as they want to collect every Secret Coin).
      when i said there are so many things being there just to be there, i mean there’s so much decor that doesn’t compliment anything, it’s only there to fit empty space or to make the level look more “animated”. of course, good decoration is subjective, but it doesn’t take a special pair of eyes to realize that ToR is generally unpleasing to look it

    • @james2be916
      @james2be916 6 місяців тому

      ⁠@@theoriginalalexWhat I meant by that is saying that “can you tell me why ________ is here besides for just looking cool” for all decorations and effects would really dumb down the creating aspect of the game. But yeah in the end the ToR update should have just changed gameplay and now it looks cluttered and messy, but I do think you chose some of the more mild changes to talk about.
