If you're reading this, generation retro ruined my life no cap - Ігри
Hey - just an important reminder that you should NOT go after the creator, harass them, spam their levels with hate, etc. This should be common sense.
Generation Retro is a VERY creative level with lots of fun theming, but the creator just didn't do a very good job at building it in the editor. It's a random custom level that a kid dreamt up and worked hard on, and usually I would never hate on someone for doing that.
*HOWEVER* - this level is in a Gauntlet, which means millions of players are forced to play it. This basically means that the level is "official", and for that reason I wanted to dive deep into it and pinpoint why it's so hated - so new creators don't make the same mistakes. It's a charming level on its own, but an absolute trainwreck inside a Gauntlet.
*I don't hate the creator and I don't hate the idea of the level. I hate the fact that RobTop scooped up a random 13 year old's level for a Gauntlet that will be played by a massive audience.* Think of this video as "Why this level shouldn't be in a Gauntlet", and NOT "Why this level shouldn't exist".
This level was probably made by some 8 year old who just found out about the GD editor
Wtf I just scrolled down here after finishing the video out of curiosity hi colon
@@CatkinsonGD same lol
smash like if you were here when k lemon's comment was the pinned comment
too late
I have a theory that "jajaja" is not laughing in spanish, the red alien is actually trying to ask you if you're jar jar binks, his long lost brother at birth. Sadly, because of his immense stutter, he can't bring himself to do it and he instead starts trying to kill you because he got frustrated

Perfect Pin
Now that is a theory
NO I DON'T WANT TO-

this is comedy gold
I love the character developpement :
The red alien : "NOOOOO !"
The decoy alien : "NOOOOO !"
The friendly alien : "NOOOOO !"
The player : "NOOOOO !"
You after playing the level : "NOOOOO !"
Colon after seeing text “Part 2?”: “NOOOOO !”
me when:"NOOOOOO!"
NOOOOO
NOOOOOO !
Me internally after seeing the typo "developpement": NOOOOO !
Seriously guys, stop blaming ArathhSA for making the level. Blame RobTop for adding the level into the Poison Gauntlet in the first place.
I knowww

That's literally the ENTIRE POINT of this video as Colon says at the end!!!!!
@@benrythefox365 it said the level f__king sucks at the end
same with whymewhyme
10:43
I theorize that perhaps maybe the reason the alien yells "NO!" is that the blind jump just before is actually a trap set up by him, and he is actually upset that you survived his trap
Genius
Wasn't that kinda obvious?
If the biggest problem with generation retro is the fact that it is in a gauntlet, then it's technically robtops fault
Fair point! If the main gripe is its placement in a gauntlet, blame it on RobTop's level selection. We're all just navigating the challenges he throws our way! 🎮🤷♂
yes
so
robtops the issue
Exactly
that’s why colon is arguing about this for like 30 minutes
Colon is the only person on this planet to even consider making a half hour long analysis on Generation Retro, let alone go through with it. And I didn’t know we needed that until now
Hi I'm first and no comments and no likes? Lemme fix that...

@@EDR2012 you can't be first if I already was
@Leslee Montgomery he was responding to the comment?
omg gd mildy
6:21 You know, if you think about it, the green orb has technically existed since the game was first released, as creators could have easily created the mechanic by combining a yellow orb with a gravity portal, which was done very often in pre-2.0 levels. Therefore, Arathhsa could have started building the level in 1.9, but that first click would have initially been a yellow orb combined with a gravity portal, and then they changed it to a regular green orb after 2.0 came out.
Not to mention, I'm pretty sure you can see 1.9 color triggers (the ones specifically for color channels 1-4) in the beginning.
@@TheChallengerB That's not too surprising since the level uses few colours anyway
My personal theory is that the designs were just copied from some random 1.9 level. Since the creator was also likely very young, I can imagine this to be possible. This also ties into the fact that custom objects were new in 2.0.
🤓
I see it but the majority of the level uses 2.0 items like the move trigger included in the entire bossfight, the text, the coins, the key, clouds, and the moving decorations like the swirl.
So with all these factors, it’s most likely a level in 2.0 unless it was a half made layout in 1.9 before 2.0
I have a feeling that “You are not win” was inspired by grammatically incorrect phrases from older games, e.g. the iconic “All your base are belong to us” from Zero Wing’s opening cutscene.
Fun Fact: The insert coin is not for aesthetic purposes, when the text pops up it's the level stealing money from the player's bank account.

Extra fact for you @GDColon. When remaking the level, I saw that the dude didn't use a single Alpha trigger (there is only one that makes the mini portals, the first speed portal invisible).
The key, the title and the red alien animations are all controlled by color triggers, switching from black (blending) to green/red (blending), which explains whyost of the background was black.
I would never think a 27 minute video would be committed to complaining about a bad 2.0 level.
1.9 never had moving objects lmao

Watching Colon violently screaming over a level made in 2015 in a 2d cube game is just filling my heart with joy.

@@SiIhou Colon specifically said that it's not the worst level quality wise, but because it's in a gauntlet
Really got me rethinking my whole life but at the same time I'm agreeing with everything he's saying

Ya mean a square?? "A 2D CUBE"
The red alien was trying to save us, he knew a virus was in the game, he wanted to stop you from getting corrupted.
0:20 this will forever be one of my favorite GD Colon moments
You asked for theories, so here’s mine:
The red and blue aliens are brothers, and the blue one was always the better kid and their parents’ favorite. As expected, the red alien was jealous, so he kidnapped his own brother and brought him to his own part of the galaxy. The green aliens are his workers and are supposed to make sure the blue alien never escapes. He allows visitors so nobody is suspicious of him hiding something. That’s why he was all nice at the beginning of the level. But when the key is collected, it opens up the area where the blue alien was trapped. That’s why the red alien says “NOOO!!!” The red alien begins to search for the blue alien, and sends his highest ranked worker, the other red alien in the first boss fight, to take care of you. The blue alien knows that you’re in trouble, so he goes to save you. After the first boss is defeated, the red alien decides that he needs to take care of you first. That leads to the “level final.” The red alien then destroys the blue alien, which leads to you getting revenge for him once and for all, as you blast the red alien.

I feel like if Generation Retro was made today and polished up a bit, it could genuinely be a really awesome level. In my opinion, some of the concepts are really unique but I feel like the creator couldn’t really establish them properly because of the time period the level was made in.
And experience, it was his first rated level

I think the issue with Scarlet Surge is that if you can't beat it in your first few attempts, it just becomes tedious. Crashing in the last 25% makes you REALLY not feel like playing the entire damn thing again.
Doesn't that 25% thing apply to literally apply to every harder+ level? But I get your point.

I actually found a skip in that level. There is a well-known robot glitch where if you click right before you hit a jump pad, you’ll go much higher. If you do this in the transition to the wave, and do some precise jumps to get over some slopes, you’ll be underneath the wave part. If you keep going there is a green monster that the creator placed with this exact scenario in mind, but you can just jump over it! Keep going, there’s a random red alien on the floor around halfway but he won’t hurt you, wait some more, and you’ll be able to skip the entire level!
You’re welcome, Cologne.
The reason why this level is in the Poison Gauntlet is that it practically poisons your brain.
Theory: I think the reason why the alien says “NO” after he welcomes you is because he wanted you to have died by now. He welcomed you because this was supposed to be a death trap, but when it became unsuccessful, he got angry. Maybe that can also explain the gameplay at the start. What are your thoughts?
Ooo, that's a good theory
@@prolygamesstudios3443a game theory!
Oh yeahhh now the key thing makes sense
Am 69th like
I think that the alien is mad that you're completing the level, being fully aware that the player will exit once the level was finished, so it tries to make you have not win so you start all over again, hence the bossfight.
5:02 just goes to show how far colon goes for good content. Being held hostage and being forced to play generation retro takes some serious guts. Hope you’re ok, Colon

4:44 "The level has a lot of flashing lights making it a potential nightmare for photosensitive players, so picking it for the most important gauntlet in the game is extremely inconsiderate on RobTop's end."
Ever heard of Electrodynamix?
Also GD in general is not very friendly to players with these problems because there are just so many levels like that (and like you said, also electrodynamix). There should be a warning that people need to put when publishing a level for it to get rated.
I think scarlet surge is a good level

I think the eyeball thing at 11:15 was an early version of the custom coins seen later in the level. The part that disappears looks kind of like a coin, and the disappearing could be the coin getting collected. My guess is it wasn’t clear enough what it was, so the creator switched to the newer version later on.
also there's an extra state that looks like the coin part is rotated 90 degrees
Or it's a autoing method like devil vortex saws
thats nice of them to do. wouldnt want to make the level un-sight-readable or anything.
Nice detective work! The disappearing eyeball might indeed be an early coin concept.
But why would he just leave it there🤔
The "Eyeball" is probably a coin prototype, I think:) Because it is disapearing, meaning Arathhsa tried to make a coin pickup animation
21:36 i really like how the subtitles chage colors!
(note: this isnt the only time it did)
Fun Fact,
3:41 Outerspace was originally the last level in fire, before it and Magmatic Sanctuary were switched

2 more things about this level Colon didn't point out:
1. The alien that kills you in the ball part is actually using fading spikes and is slightly visible.
2. The bullets in the first UFO part are visible all the time and the boss doesn't spawn it.
I even realized 1
UUUUGH THIS HAPPENED WITH MY COMMENT TOO
@@AMONGUSLOVER42069 whar?

So I was looking at improving Generation Retro’s gameplay and the creator had put the mini portals at 5% to do a pad jump which I had fixed to make it work more because the pad isn’t needed and also I love the way you fixed the boss fight
I think I know why this level doesn't use pixel Blocks.
Basically all of the aliens you see are in the background, and Some artstyles use darker lines fairly seperate from each other to make the illusion that it's a shadow.(and that they are in the background) And the aliens that aren't in the background are most likely just copy&pastes, from the bg aliens. (Like for example the ball part and even in the build up when you see the name of the level it has the same aliens from the background but they're just smaller)
And the blue and red alien? Probably the same thing but just recolors of the bg ones.
But I think the reason why the coin and key aren't pixel blocks, is because they aren't copy&pastes like the aliens are.
So in conclusion the lack of pixel blocks is just because of plain laziness, because the creator probably just made the bg aliens first and just copy&pasted them everywhere.
(so it probably was just a style choice or that the creator really didin't know that there were pixel blocks and that the coin&key were built in the very end and just then the creator realized that pixel blocks were a thing lol)
(:
That's right.
We're going back in time, to get Generation Retro OFF the Gauntlet.
We should do it or else we will not win, we... DIE!!
Nooo!
What about scarlet surge
@@leyulis8882Nah, we either have not win, or we died
it’s canon bro
Probably a really unpopular opinion but Generation Retro is one of my favorite levels that’s been put into a gauntlet; however, I’m in the same boat of the “why is this even in a gauntlet”. The level has so much more character and charm then the majority of levels in the gauntlets and I found the gameplay to be really fun! Yeah there’s a couple of iffy parts but compared to other gauntlet levels it’s not bad at all. Or even compared to other levels in the game for that matter. This is extremely biased as Generation Retro was one of the few gauntlet levels I first beat back in the day on an Amazon Kindle with less than 20 attempts (at the time Fire Aura for example took like 170). Really good level, with pretty readable gameplay for its release imo.
I AGREE!! I poke a lot of fun at the level but I also really adore the unique theming of it (even if it's poorly done), it's just the gauntlet that ruins it for me (and everyone)
I’m getting mixed signals
im also getting mixed signals
I am receiving mixed signals too
It is really just 2.0 level after all. If this was made in 2.1, then it wouldn't be rated ig.
I have a theory on the red aliens introduction
It says "welcome!" Because it hopes your gonna die in its "trial" or "level", but if you dont, it starts to get annoyed on how good you are and want to do it itself
That loud 'SHUT UP' destroyed my eardrums.
My theory for the pixel block things: The creator thought that you couldnt scale pixel blocks and decided to use the 3D tile instead because it was larger and "fit" better.
That's A Good Point.
@@OrdinaryA330 Thanks.
I actually thought that too
Same thing here
Make snese
*makes
*sense
The major issue is the quality control behind what levels are picked for the gauntlets. I remember the first Fire gauntlet level having a coin with the text “ViPriN iS tRigGerEd”. A blatant community inside joke in a level hand picked to be in an official piece of content shows how poorly gauntlets are managed as a whole.
Well atleast outer space has fun and interesting gameplay
What does that phrase mean anyway
Did viprin do anything wrong back then
@@decastar2819 during 2.0, Viprin would often rate the coins of the levels he reviews. A low rated coin, for example, would be the most blatantly obvious coin that's effortless to get. Viprin would be especially critical on these ratings, leading to jokes about easy coins triggering him
But I like the feeling of gauntlet levels being made by randomUser07 instead of a professional artist
Theres a readon why Outerspace is my favorite level
Now we need the dash spider part in this beautiful level!
0:44 well i mean you can just choose not to play the game either, same logic applies so youre totally justified in your views if its a mappack or daily level

This video was just as funny watching it for the second time. As someone who hated Generation Retro when I first had to play it in the gauntlets, it brings me pleasure listening to Colon roast it.
AWW THAT IS SO SWEET THANKS FOR REMEMBERING US IN THERAPY I REALLY APPRECIATE IT!
One thing I really appreciate about Gen Retro being in the gauntlets is that there's no chance in hell it would've gotten so popular otherwise. Even if the execution is pretty bad, I'm really glad to see people talking about how genuinely creative and interesting it is for a starting creator. This level has ideas and a "story" (even if simple) and creative applications of the retro theme (mainly by incorporating it into the gameplay). And as frustrating as it might be to play, it puts creativity over quality, which is something that starting creators should learn is completely okay. During an era where super high quality levels are everywhere and people are always comparing their works to better levels and losing motivation through that, Gen Retro is proof that a level can still offer so much even if it's crudely made, and those are the kinds of levels that creators should be comparing their own levels to: not to compare quality, but for pure inspiration. So, honestly, I'm really happy this level is in the gauntlet for that reason.
The Generation Retro segment was my favourite part of your gauntlet video.

@@Neotrec As far as I remember, I started watching him back in 2015-16 iirc
The reason why the object count at the end is inaccurate is because since the text uses small pixel blocks, the creator looked at the object count before making the text and put the previous object count into the level, taking up a lot of objects. If he used normal text, he could just look at the object count, put it onto the text, and change the text by 1 to make it accurate.

The "scary eyeball thing" is most probably just an abandoned custom art for the coin, which explains it's disappearance after you go past it. And it's a pretty decent thing to cling on to, just like Devil Vortex saws, they were styled just for Devil Vortex and were used in the actual level, but the creator forgot about deleting them afterwards. I think this comment is too long.

@@RomanianMapper12 For your information, my comment was 67 words long, meaning that no matter how fast you read, it still counts as long. Even though, glad to hear that!
I just realized that it's actually a really good thing to cling onto, because the level feels like an unfinished preview, because it (the texture) wasn't even deleted or moved in the right place, and there were probably more of such unfinished assets that weren't deleted
The "You're gonna crash and Have Not Win" part Made me laugh crazy
Great thanks for giving another game an obby based on this level.
For me it’s Fire Aura for being so inconsistent with difficulty & super frustrating to grind out for less experienced players. It’s like throwing the first Deadlocked Wave in the middle of Jumper
I honestly really like Fire Aura because I enjoy fast paced wave sections, but I can agree that it's a little extreme for the lava gauntlet and it shouldn't have been rated a 7 star.
I agree with the comment above me, fire aura is a pretty good level, but the only problem is, is that the first cube should be in a five star, and there’s other parts that i wouldn’t complain if they were in a easy demon. Fire aura is really cool, but it doesn’t have balancing.
Here's my theory: The first boss is the intentional boss for the level and the second one is a virus who breached the level like the one they were talking about in the wave part (I think the virus's intention is making the level last longer)
This wouldn't make much sense, as your supposed "virus" boss appears at the start and welcomes you to the level, way before the "virus" was detected. Otherwise, a very captivating theory!

Indeed
what are you doing on a colon video lmao
So far, from what I could say about this is:
- There are certainly worse levels out there, but this one's forced. You can blame the creator for inconsistency, but it's up to the players on whether or not they shall play it. At least the creator made an effort to at least appeal to the kids, knowing that this game's made for kids. Wonder why RobTop forced us to finish this is a mystery you could think about. Maybe ask him?
- This isn't the worst level. To me, it's just what basically RobTop does- it's to challenge players. It's neat to see a 27 minute critique of the level, but if you think about it: is that necessary? Maybe yes, because it's the worst gauntlet level ever, but it's still better than 50% of the more recent levels in the magic tab.
- Probably the reason why the pixel art was inconsistent was that it was made in 1.9 but was updated to 2.0 shortly upon the making of this level.
- Awkward mechanics in this level are expected, considering the creator wasn't that much experienced or didn't know much about play testing(it's probably made by a middle schooler bro). It was made for fun anyways. Same goes for the triggers, placement and stuff.
We can also blame it for its existence
Personally, I’d say Fire Aura (lvl 4 of Lava Gauntlet) is way worse. The gameplay is just awful, especially the wave parts, and it’s also forced.

The eyeball thingy is the same texture as the custom coin texture so it was probably used for the coin
The idea of the aliens being 1.9ish is actually genius. It reminds us that Space Invaders is a VERY old game, just like 1.9.
And "Generation Retro" is something like Generation Alpha.
11:20 I think this is the creator's attempt to make a "pixel art coin" but probably scrapped it. It disappears after you pass it apparently (like the key)
I thought it was a scrapped orb decoration
for a second i thought you were neiro
It disappeared because it's not linked to any group ID, but it's color is. It's you see, as he moves to the right, it disappears because Color ID 220 and 221 I think change to black, which is why we don't see it.

Credit where it's due, this level had some great ideas and a unique two-phase boss fight. I'd love to see someone fix this level's mistakes.
Colon is the only person who will spend minutes complaining about one invisible half block and I'm here for it 😅
😂
Haha, right? The dedication to complaining about an invisible slab deserves its own award. 🏆😂 Colon, the unsung hero of geometry gripes! 🎮

I remember when I first played generation retro, I thought it was pretty cool. I guess new players don't really think about if the level the gauntlet throws at you is unfair, I mean after seeing the map packs this would look like straight fire for a newbie 🔥
In hindsight, though, I completely agree with everything you said about this level, but only an experienced player would be able to point out those flaws.
I finished the poison gauntlet all the way back in 2017, and even I remember this level being horrid.
@@pepearown4968 Well maybe you had played more /better custom levels than me, so you had higher standards to compare Generation retro against.
Totally get that! For new players, Generation Retro can be like a fiery initiation. It's only with experience that we start noticing the flaws. Hindsight, the ultimate game guru! 🔥🎮
This video just proves how much influence Colon has on the community.

Okay, here's my theory for the complete Generation Retro story and lore.
I think first, the red space invader is trying to welcome you to grow your trust in him.
But he's really only trying to get a virus installed on your computer.
He suddenly says "NO!" near the beginning because he notices you're just getting through the level without caring about his virus or whatever.
I think the virus/scam theory makes sense when you realize the "Insert Coin" really only means he's here for business.
The wave portal represents eventually downloading the virus, with the wave specifically representing cryptocurrency graph, related to the point of this virus.
But this virus actually has an emergency "antidote" or whatever to save your PC from the virus.
It was used for testing the virus but was accidentally left in by the scammers.
This antidote is Blue Space Invader.
He helps you through the level.
He starts deleting parts of the virus, which makes Red Space Invader glitch out, explaining his physical change, and him becoming spanish.
But then disaster strikes. The blue space invader thinks he's done after attacking his red enemy, but in actuality, he just moved in another location where the antidote couldn't find him, so he could heal and come back full force. It took consiousness and erased the antidote tragically in a fierce battle but the antidote hinted at the location of the virus in his death, allowing you, the user, to erase it.
The reason the player color changes is because the virus is making this level inconsistent, which flows as a thematic throughout the level.
The final coin represents getting your money back a lawsuit later.
Truly a fascinating story.
also, the offscreen thing looks like a coin but is a fake coin for a simple reason.
It was supposed to be used by the red space invader to convince you that you can "win a million dollars without even breathing" if you click his link. Eventually it's offscreen because you're too dumb to even need a reason to click it so he doesn't use that motivation.
How long did this take you?
Hola, Soy ArathhSA, el CREADOR de Generation Retro, ese nivel lo creé con 13 años, no tenía mucho conocimiento de Inglés, solo dejé volar mi creatividad, por eso está en los Gauntlets, por la dinámica e historia del nivel, pero tú con más edad te esforzaste a crear un video de 27 minutos de análisis para tirarle hate al nivel de un niño, hoy con 20 años podría hacer algo mucho mejor… no hay necesidad de tirarme hate
Saludos ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Hey, I don't know Spanish but hopefully someone fluent can translate this. (and your comment too)
I know I was pretty mean in this video, but in reality, I think the level is very cool. It's super creative and has lots of cool ideas that were really awesome for its time. Normally I would never hate on anybody for making levels like that, since even if the level isn't very good, it's pure creativity. I love that you finished the level and didn't give up, you never let the idea of it being "bad" bother you.
Most of my hatred for the level comes from the fact that it's in a Gauntlet. I love the level, but I don't think it's good enough to be official. This video is mainly about why I don't think the level should be in a Gauntlet, and not why I think the level shouldn't exist. When a level is in a Gauntlet, it needs to have much higher standards since millions of players are going to experience it.
Thanks for commenting! jajajajaja aaarrghhh

I knew it was gonna happen 💀
Jajajaja
That's a creative level for a 13 year old! The gameplay could improve, so I'd definitely be excited if you posted something better.
The level actually has nice lore
People have been improving generation retro, and you really should make a video on its improvement levels.
So, here’s my theory, it’s kinda goofy
The blue and red alien were uhh…dating, and then they broke up, but the red alien created the decoy (aka their son) using a soul or smth. (The soul is that weird symbol you pass by)
When he says “NO!” To the player, they think that they are the one bringing the virus, due to having some future-vision powers. Then when the blue alien shows up, when they say “and we will end!” They want to sign the divorce papers once and for all.
…
Yeah, stupid goofy theory, but it’s mine :3

*GD Colon:* An Easy 2 Star Level that suddenly turns into an Extreme at the very end is unfair.
*Basically every "Full Version" of a RobTop official level:* _intense sweating_
Facts bro
Fingerdash full!
*Turns into tidal wave*
Press Start:
*intense sweating*
pretty sure that he once "fixed" an easy level and it ended with a 1-block tall straight fly
very fair
RobTop Archiver: Nah make it all extreme demons lmao

@@cosmicretro1608 good point, now an argument in replies will start
I think the alien at the start was supposed to be green but he messed up the colors and made him red like the boss
The free birds reference at the end was beautiful
