The BEST Platformer level? | ''Tornado'' by AbstractDark | Geometry Dash 2.2

Tornado is one of those levels that are really brought to life due to the sum of all its parts. Every section here has something completely different to offer while keeping itself connected and grounded.
The beginning reminds me of the times when you're walking home, you're about to arrive when you suddenly start to hear thunder above you and it begins raining. The sense of urgency and uncertainty are nailed here. Going into the ruined castle and being able to hear the rain hitting the rooftop and the flashes of lightning through the cracks, the wind coming rushing in when you open the hatch, this is the life I was talking about.
After this it only gets crazier, once the tornado forms and you can see it in the distance, the feeling of urgency turns into fear, since you're swept up and now have to jump between what's left of the ruins, dodging giant rocks flying your way. It's all done beautifully, from a gameplay and a design standpoint. And we can't underrate the importance of sound effects and music, which play a huge part here as well.

[@KamDaOrcuh]

Coming from someone who lives in a state that be getting a decent amount of severe weather and tornadoes (Mississippi), this level is pretty accurate.

[@Vision-ky7ew]

You turn into a ROBOT AND FLY TRHOUGH THE SKY WITH A JACKPACK???

[@KamDaOrcuh]

@@Vision-ky7ew yep 😎

[@tingolad2237]

​@@Vision-ky7ew ahh yes the '' jackpack''

[@justbrandon1616]

As an Oklahoman, and someone who, as well, has had a fair bit of experience with tornadoes and other miscellaneous weather conditions, I can agree and say that this level portrays tornadoes fairly accurately

[@thespecialgamer3766]

True I just moved to Oklahoma maybe move back

[@quack4734]

imagine being a victim of a huge natural disaster and going "ooh shiny, ooh, sparkly" in the middle of it

[@Optic_220]

Tornado is so beautiful it's so atmospheric and well thought out.

[@ASlapperGuy]

Well Put. I loved the inside tornado section due to its art and gimmick. Truly a masterpiece once again made by The GD Community.

[@qseryGD]

@@ASlapperGuynot just the gd community it's another abstract dark banger

[@zgamer1146]

The fact that your cube is in the transitions make them so cool!~

[@itsfletch]

I want to make levels like these, with these types of transitions too, but I'm never going to have the mindset and motivation for that =-= I agree with you

[@onnerus1GD]

It deserves mythic, actually 🤓☝️

[@user-it3em8cp7l]

No

Epic

It did lol I played it at night

[@sonicwaveinfinitymiddwelle8555]

they already have meatball shortage because rubrub likes the biggest balls

[@omar691gmd]

The animation of the tornado breaking the structures are amazing, deserved legendary

[@sebxsstupid9211]

it cannot be expressed in words, how cool it looks, like a movie of some kind

[@the-angel-of-light-gardevoir8]

As a Oklahoman, this made my heart melt

[@smarty265]

This feels like its inspired by the tornado level in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze

[@CK-iv1lq]

It definitely had that feel.

[@iverndiaz]

Ahh, the return of AbstractDark. I still remember the level "Formidable Guardians" and it is beautiful.

[@Smabverse]

Is this even GD

No, it’s super Mario Bros 😂

No esperaba nada de ti AbstractDark y aun asi lograste impresionarme

[@abrahamtee1776]

Este nivel si merece ser legendario, la decoración y la forma en que se mueven los objetos es espectacular

[@olafcio]

The effort put into this level - just above the limit.

[@HyperX755]

The ring coin is absolutely genius

[@NickAndriadze]

I'm still flabberghasted by how awesome this level's environmental and visual storytelling is, the tornado scene specifically gave me some serious Far: Lone Sails vibes, which is already one of the most atmospheric games of all time.Insane stuff.

[@SARMA360]

this is what 2.2 editor was made for, not for that damn "fire in the hole"

[@ako4232_]

Absolutely amazing, deserved legendary

[@pop_fork]

Mom:son why aren't you coming? It's dinner time!
The situation I'm in:

[@ieatthreebowlsofriceaday]

Abstract Dark just keep getting better at making levels lol

[@esteb7496]

When thinking about how crazy 2.2 would be i always thought about this one level in donkey kong tropical freeze when you get pulled into the tornado and do platforming on flying objects... aparently i wasn’t the only one think about that

[@CheemsPeque]

The most epic level I saw. Incredible!

[@khy2k4]

That was fun! Had to take a sec to realize where I was going but the tornado sure fixed it. XD

[@Nightshade2003]

i watch these game since bloodbath was verified by riot for the first time till now.
what an evolution robtop

[@heatedthenerd]

I don't know how people can make something like this all in Geometry Dash, it's unbelievable.

[@xXMihaXx_123]

Hey nexus , I love your content and this level is amazing❤ You deserve the 2M subs when you will have 🥰

[@shion5110]

Esse level e incrivelmente perfeito, me lembrou bastante a fase " Floating Ruins " de Megaman zx advt, chega bateu uma nostalgia aqui.

[@ramaicatseye]

Wow, great idea, level creator!

[@koawblox]

this is the most beautiful platform level i've ever seen in this update.

the visuals are stunning and well made

[@timoaag]

This so beautiful what the hell 😭

[@Jeff10914]

Worth the waiting

[@ASlapperGuy]

I know there’s gonna be someone saying “FIRST” anyways. I didn’t watch the full thing so there’s also gonna be those “stopping kids from saying first” comments. Anyways just watched the “wind” part. And it’s genuinely amazing. How far we have came in GD just from a simple cube game to stuff like “WHAT” and “Tornado” is amazing.

[@acertigaOFICIAL]

Sorry bro😂

[@acertigaOFICIAL]

But I see it entire

[@ASlapperGuy]

⁠​⁠@@acertigaOFICIALmy comment was made 7 minutes ago you replied 2 minutes ago. Of course you had time to watch it.

[@ASlapperGuy]

@@acertigaOFICIALever heard of this thing called “time difference”? You watched it way later then me so of course you saw it entirely

Also how does a comment that is literally asking if this deserves legendary knowing damn well it does have way more likes then this one.

[@-_Astral_-]

This level is totally insane !

[@jinskips9333]

[@boltcuber9242]

Me personally, I think everything after the first bit deserves legendary. The first part looks a bit richer and janky, but awesome level!!!!

this level really reminds me of a hurricane that hit my home when i was little

definitely not

Ignore the troll above me, this level is legendary

This is what we should be making with the new game engine. The power is immeasurable.

AbstractDark is Comeback, Incredibly Platformer

[@LSamuelZ]

even though it certainly looks cool it would be mythic with better realism on the designs and better shadows/lights

[@SleepyWhistles]

11/10 level deserves a legendary rate

[@SlimeEinstein]

Huge respect for creator

This should be the first godly or mythic i forgot

should've been an epic rate instead imo
