Great video, m'ah dude! Glad I could make an appearance :D
As a friend of iPhone since 2018, I can safely say he is one of the coolest people I have ever met on the site! I gotta give it to him for still uploading to this day!
woow
Yup, it's been pretty cool to be involved since the start! I never had the dedication for hundreds of levels like iphone has, but I generally like to put a much greater amount of time into each project.
@@CrystalKeeper7 I always used to play your levels on scratch back in 2018, 2019 and 2020. then i got the lite version of gd, and now i have the full version on steam, but you were a very important part of my journey. hope you have a great weekend :)

Oh this is so cute! Feels refreshing to see positive Scratch discourse online after years of having my childhood hobby bashed as Dumb and Cringe jdsjk. Been on Scratch for 10 years. It has led me to meet all my best online friends, and pique enough interest in programming in me as to now have it be my actual job. This website and community have shaped so many kids lives, and I'm happy to see outsiders getting it!

I never realized you made Treacherous Trials. Really fun game for a web game, and I really enjoyed it! The last level felt so good after I beat it.
I hate it when people make a video about “playing geometry dash for my first time” and then proceed to play scratch’s version.
13:00 the fact that he made his own dialogue for the game that seemingly is about the scratch community as a whole is actually really interesting. It elevates it from a neat novelty to it's own art piece.

Scratch is always one of the more fun websites to browse when you're feeling down. Whether it's playing all of those platformers using the same few templates, or Geometry Dash level clones, or anything else you can find, you can always tell there's heart put into it. There's even an entire project on there dedicated to adapting one of Griffpatch's platformer templates to recreate Celeste! I'd love to see you talk more about Geometry Dash clones, it was one of my favorite series back in the day.

@@waytoobiased that's the price you pay for using scratch in 2022. i remember when i was popular in 2020
there's also an app similar to scratch called fancade, it's somewhat more complicated than scratch and has a pixel art style. it has a small but wibrant fanbase and making spheres in the game proves that you are a god
Even those generic platformers with the same cube and same engine and same art style!

That line reminds me of how flatworms regrow when they were cut.
I played the Scratch version of Geometry Dash Press Start, and it was not even the full level, however, it is insanely hard to make, especially since it has a little bit of Geometry Dash 2.2 since it's Sub-zero.
I was terrified griffpatch had intentionally been part of this, I'm glad my life isn't a lie
how did I find you
@@20TrillionTrees woah
@@TheAmyrlinSeat dry response
@@IX_4 that was quite dry
griffpatch would NEVER
I remember when Griffpatch released geometry dash, I was so amazed at how accurate a recreation it was and how well it preformed. Scratch is an interpreted language written in Javascript, so performance is terrible and you have to squeak every bit out of it to get anything serious to perform well, the core codebase he made is a pretty impressive feat.
6:24 this version of the game was actually on coolmathgames for a week or so, it was thankfully removed though
4:12 I know a bit about Scratch and that bug has happened to me, it happens when the game is trying to load looped audio but it just plays the first tenth of the song for a long time until it actually loads
Thank you so much for making this video! I used Scratch for a very long time growing up and I always loved playing griffpatch’s version of GD, pretty nostalgic for me. I’m glad you used this opportunity to shine on Scratch and the truly passionate people behind it
Heck yeah! I wanted to make this video because everyone hates on the games just because they're on that bad site. It's not the games that are bad, it's the site itself
@@GDColon I wouldn't say the site itself is bad, it's just the bad games on there, the interface, and the fact that Scratch is targeted towards young users that gives it a bad reputation.
@@AustynL Also the fact that almost every game on there has Bastia to no decoration, but the levels are still fun. It still might leave some kids wondering why killbot looks cooler in the thumbnail than the level.
@@AustynL You should watch the video again. The site is bad and the games are good (made in Scratch - "kid friendly" game engine, very hard to remake games in it, but possible).
The site is full of ads, making money from cool community made projects
@@GDColon the game is maybe for kid fans of geometry dash using a chrome book since the original maybe is banned
I love how you make content off of the things people wouldn’t really notice about Geometry Dash and anything similar to it. It makes your content unique and way more entertaining to watch rather than demon completions or challenges.
People notice these things but nobody talks about them

Fun fact: Scratch's remix feature can be abused to reupload someone else's game. If you remix, change nothing, and share with no credit, you reupload the game and even break the guidelines.
It's funny that griffpatch mentioned your geometry dash text website on his geometry dash tutorial no. 5

As a Scratcher, I can confirm that games like these are challenging to make.

True
As a scratcher who has been on the platform since 2018, this breaks my heart. It is challenging to make anything on there, it takes lots of effort. And to see some random websites profiting off of hard work that was done with no payment expected just makes me want to cry. Scratch is always misunderstood so I'm glad to finally see a UA-camr who actually respects the platform and doesn't hate on it.
btw the horrendus noise is supposed to be the menu music, but the start of the song glitches so it plays the fist 0.05 ish seconds over and over again.
I would actually be happy to see the other video on other gd copies on Scratch so to see the programming to make a game of my own
Not gonna lie, when i first watch a few of colon’s videos i thought he was one of those entitled creators that shit on every aspect of the game and feel like they are better because of it, but the more i watched i realized this guy was only filled with valid takes. And there’s always an interesting topic and lots of research done for every video. Nice video colon, and sorry i ever doubted you 😔

Glad to help you out with researching this video!

Yo colon, pin this comment
i love your subzero recreation!!! : D
the fact this guy literally sits there making tons of faithful remakes on scratch of all things every day just amazes me. props to this guy.
3:04 We need more people like this. Companies like Nintendo would probably hire a hitman if they saw something like that
I remember that, I always used to play this one on scratch when I would be in school on a pc (once a week we would have a computer hour working on scratch)
Before I had the first version of geometry dash, I wanted to create my own levels, so I went to scratch for it. I went to griffpatch first and went “never mind, this editor is way too difficult.” Its kind of heartwarming to see a passionate community recreating levels in scratch.
Really good video! I feel as we both made very similar videos but you went a lot more in-depth on the crazy scratch levels which I didn't even realise went THAT deep, i feel like I brushed over it WAYY too much. Crazy how a bunch of random kids are making these geometry dash scratch levels but suddenly there's just some small community that makes a ton of levels for it. Really cool imo.
that is insane, we work with scratch in our class, and im probably not even seeing the limit of scratch.
4:11 this is actually the menu theme but it keeps getting repeated over and over again each frame so it makes that HORRENDOUS noise
Can't wait for someone to recreate the Limbo randomizer on Scratch now that it's been verified

i am an avid Scratcher, GD player, and hater of ripoff websites and i found that this video was heartwarming and perfect for me. My game on scratch was put on the front page, but I still enjoy it when people like Colon elevate it like this. Amazing video, Colon, and keep doing things that GD youtubers have never done before!
how did i find you on colon's video
15:21 caught me off guard istg 💀 literally one of the funniest UA-cam moments I have confronted
You should see what people have done with scratch. Fully functional fnaf remakes with the original animations, super mario world levels, undertale... The list goes on. It's actually a lot more fun to learn and create stuff there than you might expect
I remember how there was legit FNAF2 recreation on Scratch that has spread to all sorts of game sites. I don't know how accurate it was to the actual game, but darn, it felt like real fnaf in the browser.
I watched some kids play it in primary school, it was almost a 1-1 replica of Scott’s original game.
i seen that aswell
This video is so much better than I was expecting. I never thought that something I would shrug off as a one-off scam site is, in fact, one of many scam sites stealing from people who had no idea their works were being used against their will. I have been watching your videos for a while and always get excited when I see a new video release. I hope you get to 500k soon!
Good idea, time to make my own gd but entirely origional! *Level 2: Back in Track* (actually tho ima make 2.2 gd in gd then make 2.2 gd as its own game and make 2.3 gd after 2.2 comes out)
“Unless it’s geometry dash shorts” that hit hard 😂
I definitely remember griffpatch's GD and other game recreations, as well as the multiple remixes of the GD recreation that add new levels. It even inspired me to make my own GD clone 4 or 5 years ago. I also remember making another GD clone years ago where you're just the wave endlessly dodging squares, which somehow even managed to be on the Scratch front-page for a day. Quickly after the first wave game got successful, I spent months making a sequel to it and was soon devastated to see it reach only a very small fraction of the success that the original made. Looking back, all of the GD clones that I made were VERY barebones (especially the first two, one being made in an hour on New Year's and the other being made in a few hours), but they all still had effort & love put into them... I don't really know where I was going with this so I'll just type that just because something is bad doesn't mean that there was no love or effort put into it.
it's an art form
@@GDColon 嗨你问
For the longest time, "Geometry Dash fake websites" meant "Websites hosting the Impossible Game Demo" to me. I was aware of the Scratch recreation, and even became aware of the remixes that brought over popular custom levels into the engine. I was not aware of the fake website that had custom levels, but it's interesting to see it adapt to the changing Internet standards. (Screw these fake websites, though. Everything about them is scummy.)
I like the fact that you gave example of spamtom as scamers on the internet

I used to be a part of this scratch community. I never made any levels, but I played them and had some fun. There are a ton of animations programmed into scratch, heck, even a WIP platformer game with a different art style. You unlocked a hidden memory. I literally recognized all of these names!

As a Scratch developer(kinda), I'm glad you're giving it some recognition
I feel like scratch is harder to use than other game making engines since it has alot of limitations for people to code different stuff like physics..
@@usibistro it might be, it’s just that I’m used to the engine after several years of programming with it
Really interesting video. I was in a part of the GD community on scratch a good while back that was different, being more animation-focused - kinda makes this video kind of nostalgic to watch. Definitely came across this stuff at some point when on the site. It's cool learning about the sort of history behind it - and even cooler it's still going on today!
When I found out about Geometry Dash, I searched it up and went to the same exact url. But a few years ago, it was just griffpatch's Geometry Dash project. No other online levels, just that.
0:47 I played that game ,the first one in the beginning when I didn't have the real geometry dash

The game called “Geometry dash lite old version” has what is probably the best song I’ve heard in a GD level which is a remix of Can’t Let Go, called “Never Give Up”.
The level is basically a FNF B-Sides, or Super Mario Bros the Lost Levels kind of thing, which is a slightly more difficult version of the original.
