Honestly, I agree entirely with the points made in this video; the secret coins could have been placed much better in Subzero's levels. I had to look that up to know where the secret coins were, which isn't something I would frequently do. I hope these mistakes aren't in the new 2.2 official levels.
I agree with this. When I first played GD Subzero, I was very bad at the game and these coins were a struggle to find and collect. I feel like it wasn't friendly to newer players. Great Video!
The first Nock Em coin is something you'd find in the average New Super Mario Bros U level. Please stop replying the coins have been fixed and frankly I don't even care anymore
never have i ever thought a video about you practically screaming over golden collectible circles in a cube game would be so interesting but here we are
I imagine that spinoffs like subzero, meltdown, and world would be a lot of players first experiences with geometry dash, so having these coins be as non accessible as they are is even more infuriating than it would be in the normal game honestly.
gonna stream myself on day 1 of 2.2 running into every wall in Explorers and Dash until I find the coins honestly smth abt this video just really gives off that classic GD youtube era like 2017-2019 and i like it a lot, super solid video bro
YES! I’m so glad I’m not the only one annoyed by the coins in Subzero! Hopefully the coins in the 2.2 levels are better, but I didn’t even consider that the might not be until you mentioned it...
im SO glad that somebody has finally spoken up about coins. i feel like people really struggle with coin routes since they are either completely unknown to the player or just really easy. it should provide a little extra challenge. fully agree with these points, super glad to see this. thank you for talking about this lol
This video is not only good in explaining the problems in the GD SubZero coins, but it’s good to teach creators on how to properly use coins to make the levels slightly challenging
This actually does make me think about coin placements and game design with collectibles as a whole. Very inspiring, I’ll see what I can do with it. Thank you for the insight
I watched this video for the first time when I was in the hospital, my parents let me watch RUclips because I was in a bed, laying there for hours and you entertained me, you're the reason that I wasn't bored so big thanks to Colon ❤ If you want to see what happened to me click below. I kept throwing up, I felt like I couldn't eat or drink anything and I had a rash
as a level creator, i usually use those tips into consideration for myself, like how in one of my levels there's a part where you go through a wave section and i put question marks in the indents of some structures within reach and going into those indents will make the entire structure glow, there are 5 of these throughout the wave part and all of them are literally impossible to miss
The first coin in Nock Em has a visual indicator, actually! Did you notice those sparkles on the spikes? Don't worry, I didn't either. But! There's a Sparkle that is just a wee bit too high, and a little greenish, and only appears 2 jumps before you miss it. Very visually obvious and easy to catch.
Yeah there is one sparkle next the the wall, one tiny sparkle, all the other spikes are sparkling so the only thing that gives it away is one tiny sparkle and with everything else going on in the level, how are you gonna notice it?
IMO keys should only be used when the key opens an additional challenge to get the coin, instead of just spawning the coin or opening a wall with the coin inside.
I feel like this is the video where he screams the most. That doesn't mean I disagree with hidden coins being so bad like, seriously, I can't wait to see where they hid the 2.2 new coins.
3:37 Fun fact: I actually found this coin by accidentally missing the 2nd orb and I thought I was gonna die but I instinctively just spammed and I got the coin.
even though subzero shows the cool features for 2.2, i think it’s a big downgrade compared to the rest of the games, because the levels don’t really flow like the rest of the levels, especially the coins. also the jokes in this video were absolute gold, props to you man
i actually think the 2nd press start coin is not bad. the platform layout looks pretty promising as an alternative route and it wouldnt be an uncommon thought to try skipping the second orb to get a new route, even if you could crash from it

Ngl I played subzero a few days after it came out and played press start as my first ever gd level. My friend recommended gd subzero as the "best geometry dash" to me. About a week later I found out about the full game and the fact that harder difficulties existed. he doesn't play anymore and My stats have slowly climbed above his. Now I have way better stats and over 10 more demons than him. I looked up to him like he was the best player in the game. I'm hoping one day he cones back.
@@sleepynet13 he's in Europe (I've moved back to the U.S ) and we've just lost touch I still occasionally send him a message on gd just in case. I got a response one time but that was a while ago
The first coin of Nock em already has a strange but tiny indicator, you could see it in the left of the coin wall that it has a shine effect, not all of the walls have it tho.
it does have a shine indicator, but pretty much all the spikes have that same shine effect so that halves the little effectivity this hint ever had in the first place
Interesting, I was wondering about this a few days ago when I noticed the amount of coins I had in Subzero, compared to the other GD versions. I clearly remember at some point trying to completely cluelessly find the missing coins in practice mode by crashing against every obstacle I could and just randomly finding coins like that. After a while I just gave up on them x’)
Just gonna say, love the PNGtu- i mean the totally not related to anything talk sprites. They add a level of personification to the video almost unimaginable. altough some more angry/indignated sprites would help set the feel a bit better
yeah it's something we'll work on. it's a touch task to make so many drawing but we can probably modify some existing ones to get a wider range of emotions
@@GDColon i think as long as you can get the arm, torso and head sprites separated from one another you can easily modify them to create a bunch of new ones
A little glitch that i found: When i was collecting the first coin in Press Start i think i did a pixel perfect noclip strat and fell through the ground in the coin area and then crashed behind a tiny spike.
I'd argue the retro coin sound effect adds a lot more of a hint to the whereabouts of the first coin in Press Start, and then with the missing spikes it's both hidden well and easy to find after having a think or playing in practice mode to search manually
I've never really sat down and thought about the secret coins in GD. They've always been something that's there, with little impact on the game for me. Sure you collect them to unlock RobTop demons, but you only need 30 out of the 149 present and you could potentially get all of them from Map Packs if you feel like torturing yourself. My favourite secret coins have always been the ones that require something small to get, like the first coin in Electroman or the second coin in Geometrical. So comparing that type of design to the Sub Zero coins, yeah, they aren't designed the best. What's weird about the coins where you smash yourself into a wall to get them is that they were already done perfectly fine in Meltdown. Viking Arena's second coin is just falling in a particular spot, but it's different in that you have a visual indicator on where you're meant to fall with a slightly transparent platform that juts out of the wall. So why not do that exact same thing in Sub Zero? Ultimately I think Sub Zero was designed with the levels first and then Rob suddenly remembered he had to put in secret coins, so threw them in in like 5 minutes, verified that they worked (somewhat) and then sent the games. It would certainly explain why most of them aren't well designed or why Power Trip's second coin is bugged on iOS. Maybe the game itself was rushed out, to meet an arbitrary deadline set by Rob. That would explain why Power Trip feels so empty and why the coins are like that. I do hope the secret coins in 2.2 are in better spots, but judging by the Sneak Peek we got where there's an unnecessary gravity change portal with no secret coin in sight, I'm not too confident that Rob has actually improved his coin placement. Here's to hoping though. UPDATE: While I think the new coins are better, my issues with Power Trip's first and second coin have changed from "It's just smashing yourself into a wall" to "It feels like you're playing an early 2.0 level with constantly moving platforms and invisible orbs."
@@Tornnnado i got really anoyed playing them because i needed coins for deadlocked and was always a level short where i got stuck on before completing the map pack and hat to pur in hours of attempts... :( (Also im not so good at gd. I need about 1-2k attempts for robtops insane levels)
At the first glance I thought this is just a useless hot take on mere secret coins, but this was so well-explained and actually MAKES SENSE, and the fact that this video also gives tips for the other creators on how to create coin routes at the same time. This video is so based, so is Colon.
I just noticed that the Third coin in Nock Em actually has a little visual giveaway! Before you get reversed the last pillar has 3 little glowing tiles on the ground (you can see them if you stop the video on 7:23), but they disappear after you enter the reversed state! They're also the only tiles to appear there so i guess that helps to notice it? But im not the one to judge if its a good giveaway or not. Anyways, Awesome video Colon, Keep up the good work.
i know it's been two years since the release of this video, and a few people are gonna rewatch it. I just wanted to point out an easter egg. If you activate subtitles at around 1:20 (the moment where he breathes) you find the equation of a chemical reaction
6:43 Here's my opinion: The Key has a smaller hitbox than the coin, so, to make it even mote challenging, RobTop took the key... or because you can't access deadlocked without buying the game and he still wanted that to be shown to the world ... well there are many possibilities why that has been done anyways
Glad to know I'm not the only one who feels this way. IMO the last coin in Power Trip is the worst. It's just so cryptic and no other coin works like that at all. I also think the transition before the 2nd Nock 'Em coin makes it especially annoying. Maybe I just suck at it but I feel like it's harder than any of the official coins. I agree that overall SubZero is really good though
I think it's a good coin, I even touched on it in the video. (0:31) You're likely going to miss the coin on your first attempt, but even if you miss the coin you can still SEE it hanging up there. So it's pretty easy to conclude that there must be a hidden orb, or at the very least some kind of path. By letting the player know when they've missed the coin, it encourages experimentation and coming up with your own creative ideas. A lot of the coins in SubZero would be okay if the coin was visible, but for some reason Rob decided to keep them hidden until you find them.
Nock Em 3 DOES have a visual indicator, but you need to be PIXEL HUNTING to see it. There's a very slight loss in glow associated with using fake blocks. That's it. That's the indicator.
wow i actually didn't notice. i just looked and saw that its also VERY slightly darkened where you enter, but its so hard to notice in gameplay so W H A T S T H E P O I N T
2:42 Absolutely amazing background music usage, sets the atmosphere really well. Keep using good music in your videos please, really makes the viewing quality better if you know where the music comes from. I really like your editing style in general, especially the funny expressions that your OC makes, keep it up!
It actually seems like they have taken his advice! During the second coin on press start it’s now visible, and the first coin on Nock em, there’s a red dot on that platform to signify it’s different. That’s all I’ve seen so far
8:23 - For some reason I thought I actually felt a small breeze of wind on this part. Also you explained the problems well, and I agree with this video.
I think the reason the coins aren't the best in Subzero is that they're not really the point of the game. It was simply to showcase the many features that 2.2 will have to offer.
No joke, when I first played Knock Em, I thought that platform hiding the first coin would be a good place to hide a coin, so I jumped into it. That was three only coin on Subzero that I figured out myself lol.
I remember that the last coin in power trip was painful to find because I reset level every time I didn't find the coin at almost the end of the level in practice mode until I tested to click randomly 💀
I don’t really get why Colon is so cynical about all of this, not on the ranking as I agree with everything, but that he thinks that the placement for secret coins are doomed? Subzero was rushed, 2.2 isn’t (for better or for worst) he’s always put more care into the main levels than he does side game levels
What I interpreted this as was that if RobTop can make coins that bad in Subzero, who knows how bad nowadays creators can make coins, especially with all of the new stuff coming in 2.2
@@samuelding7854 I agree, but user coins in custom levels have always been either they’re too hard to get, too easy to get, or rarely are just the right amount of challenge
THIS EXPLAINS EVERYTHING!!! Okay so let me explain, I was too confused why I got the second coin in power trip but it doesn’t reward me with the second coin itself and I was **confused screaming** at that point. And yes, I am getting ideas on where to put coins in my future levels. I’ll use advice someone gave to someone else! :D
I'm making a game (not a geometry dash level), and adding collectibles for rewards from an npc, and this was pretty helpful. So, this is mostly universal for game design.
The live chat is yelling at Colon because he said “he isn’t a furry” and now everyone thinks he is. He already announced he is a Kitsune in his “fluffy” announcement.
On iOS, when u playing Power Trip, sometimes the text at 46% doesn’t show and u can’t complete third coin. But I REALLY HATE second coin because it’s IMPOSSIBLE to complete it on iOS

The first coin of Nock em already has a strange but tiny indicator, you could see it in the left of the coin wall that it has a shine effect, not all of the walls have it tho.
The spider coin where you go in the wall also has a tiny indicator
@@Xnoob545 yeah, but DUDE, that missing glow is gonna be hard to find
@@cryonitric true
it does have a shine indicator, but pretty much all the spikes have that same shine effect so that halves the little effectivity this hint ever had in the first place
Here's the thing tho
I've had SubZero for years and only noticed that after you pointed it out

It's not all about the coins it's all about the progress you made
Interesting, I was wondering about this a few days ago when I noticed the amount of coins I had in Subzero, compared to the other GD versions. I clearly remember at some point trying to completely cluelessly find the missing coins in practice mode by crashing against every obstacle I could and just randomly finding coins like that. After a while I just gave up on them x’)
Just gonna say, love the PNGtu- i mean the totally not related to anything talk sprites. They add a level of personification to the video almost unimaginable. altough some more angry/indignated sprites would help set the feel a bit better
yeah it's something we'll work on. it's a touch task to make so many drawing but we can probably modify some existing ones to get a wider range of emotions

@@GDColon i think as long as you can get the arm, torso and head sprites separated from one another you can easily modify them to create a bunch of new ones
A little glitch that i found:
When i was collecting the first coin in Press Start i think i did a pixel perfect noclip strat and fell through the ground in the coin area and then crashed behind a tiny spike.
me too
Same
same thing happened to me

I'd argue the retro coin sound effect adds a lot more of a hint to the whereabouts of the first coin in Press Start, and then with the missing spikes it's both hidden well and easy to find after having a think or playing in practice mode to search manually
I've never really sat down and thought about the secret coins in GD. They've always been something that's there, with little impact on the game for me. Sure you collect them to unlock RobTop demons, but you only need 30 out of the 149 present and you could potentially get all of them from Map Packs if you feel like torturing yourself.
My favourite secret coins have always been the ones that require something small to get, like the first coin in Electroman or the second coin in Geometrical. So comparing that type of design to the Sub Zero coins, yeah, they aren't designed the best.
What's weird about the coins where you smash yourself into a wall to get them is that they were already done perfectly fine in Meltdown. Viking Arena's second coin is just falling in a particular spot, but it's different in that you have a visual indicator on where you're meant to fall with a slightly transparent platform that juts out of the wall. So why not do that exact same thing in Sub Zero?
Ultimately I think Sub Zero was designed with the levels first and then Rob suddenly remembered he had to put in secret coins, so threw them in in like 5 minutes, verified that they worked (somewhat) and then sent the games. It would certainly explain why most of them aren't well designed or why Power Trip's second coin is bugged on iOS. Maybe the game itself was rushed out, to meet an arbitrary deadline set by Rob. That would explain why Power Trip feels so empty and why the coins are like that.
I do hope the secret coins in 2.2 are in better spots, but judging by the Sneak Peek we got where there's an unnecessary gravity change portal with no secret coin in sight, I'm not too confident that Rob has actually improved his coin placement. Here's to hoping though.
UPDATE: While I think the new coins are better, my issues with Power Trip's first and second coin have changed from "It's just smashing yourself into a wall" to "It feels like you're playing an early 2.0 level with constantly moving platforms and invisible orbs."
I wouldn't call the map packs torture. They were pretty fun, all things considered.
@@Tornnnado Shhhh. People will call you a maniac for having an unpopular opinion.
@@Tornnnado MANIAC
@@Tornnnado i got really anoyed playing them because i needed coins for deadlocked and was always a level short where i got stuck on before completing the map pack and hat to pur in hours of attempts... :(

Damn this guy wrote a whole pharagraph about gd coins
At the first glance I thought this is just a useless hot take on mere secret coins, but this was so well-explained and actually MAKES SENSE, and the fact that this video also gives tips for the other creators on how to create coin routes at the same time. This video is so based, so is Colon.
Crazy cuz robtop actually saw this and updated the coins 💀💀💀
8:00 this is one of the most well made example in HISTORY.
am i the only one who keeps rewatching this for fun?
No
3:22 I NEVER KNEW THAT THAT IS SO COOL
I love the Celeste secret reveal sound effect at 7:26
fun fact i added at the last minute - was watching through the final product and just went "this NEEDS that one celeste sound"
@@GDColon at least celeste has little indicators
That one clip "FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!" got me kinda laughing
If you look closely there no glow in the bottom 2 tiles of where you need to go through
I just noticed that the Third coin in Nock Em actually has a little visual giveaway! Before you get reversed the last pillar has 3 little glowing tiles on the ground (you can see them if you stop the video on 7:23), but they disappear after you enter the reversed state! They're also the only tiles to appear there so i guess that helps to notice it? But im not the one to judge if its a good giveaway or not. Anyways, Awesome video Colon, Keep up the good work.
that's probably just a mistake(?)
Wat how did you notice that?
@@GDColon WHERES THE TIER LIST
WHERE THE F*CK DİD YOU SEE THAT?
i know it's been two years since the release of this video, and a few people are gonna rewatch it. I just wanted to point out an easter egg. If you activate subtitles at around 1:20 (the moment where he breathes) you find the equation of a chemical reaction

7:04 how to make such a mechanism with a key and a coin that will fall out like that?
Did anyone notice at 11:44 the little faces on his shirt is angry
Just now
11:45
Oh my god
you have the eyes of an eagle
6:43 Here's my opinion: The Key has a smaller hitbox than the coin, so, to make it even mote challenging, RobTop took the key... or because you can't access deadlocked without buying the game and he still wanted that to be shown to the world ... well there are many possibilities why that has been done anyways
"mote"
@@notakae7089 lol
'He wanted it to be shown to the world'
Viking arena uses keys EVERYWHERE
Also he could've just shrunk the coin
Glad to know I'm not the only one who feels this way. IMO the last coin in Power Trip is the worst. It's just so cryptic and no other coin works like that at all. I also think the transition before the 2nd Nock 'Em coin makes it especially annoying. Maybe I just suck at it but I feel like it's harder than any of the official coins. I agree that overall SubZero is really good though
polargeist still hardest coin the 3rd coin
@@b48292 dude wtf are u talking about
It's because of the annoying yellow pad
Did you know the first coin in press start it doesn't make the sound but the music put into the level
I know this comment was made 3 months ago, but what you just said is EXACTLY WHAT COLON SAID AT 3:20
9:43 I actually thought my WiFi was lagging 😂
Hhhhhhhahahahahahahaaaa-
True😅
the worst coin in all of geometry dash's spinoffs is obviously the last coin in airborne robots though
Agreed
Yes
I think it's a good coin, I even touched on it in the video. (0:31)
You're likely going to miss the coin on your first attempt, but even if you miss the coin you can still SEE it hanging up there. So it's pretty easy to conclude that there must be a hidden orb, or at the very least some kind of path. By letting the player know when they've missed the coin, it encourages experimentation and coming up with your own creative ideas. A lot of the coins in SubZero would be okay if the coin was visible, but for some reason Rob decided to keep them hidden until you find them.
@@GDColon but if you mess up once you have to wait till the end of the level to try again
I would disagree; there is an indicator of the invisible orb being there, the white circle thing that appears when you can use the invisible jump orb.
Nock Em 3 DOES have a visual indicator, but you need to be PIXEL HUNTING to see it. There's a very slight loss in glow associated with using fake blocks. That's it. That's the indicator.
wow i actually didn't notice. i just looked and saw that its also VERY slightly darkened where you enter, but its so hard to notice in gameplay so W H A T S T H E P O I N T
4:15 but there is a coin visisble there though i thought it was always visible?
The animated version of you looks pretty good 👍
(I also like the Celeste sound effect at 7:26 :D)
2:42 Absolutely amazing background music usage, sets the atmosphere really well. Keep using good music in your videos please, really makes the viewing quality better if you know where the music comes from.

same opinion here!
12:30 I feel like it could’ve shown the coin after the presses, then it says “see you at the end” then when you pass the level, it’s at the end
I can tell that with the avatar you kinda put more emotion and care into ur vids, so that's cool! Just a thing I noticed
and a heart from my favorite youtuber/gd player of all time, this is a W for mankind
@I'mTrashAtVideoGames idk
4:09 I literally found it because I forgot to tap the second orb....
It actually seems like they have taken his advice! During the second coin on press start it’s now visible, and the first coin on Nock em, there’s a red dot on that platform to signify it’s different. That’s all I’ve seen so far
5:00 name reveal??
he has already revealed his name years ago
8:23 - For some reason I thought I actually felt a small breeze of wind on this part.
Also you explained the problems well, and I agree with this video.

I think the reason the coins aren't the best in Subzero is that they're not really the point of the game. It was simply to showcase the many features that 2.2 will have to offer.
Coins weren’t “really the point of the game” in GD either, they were added after the game already had levels created and was released.
10:30 but the real question is did you pet the blåhaj before leaving

"AGGHKJGDKGDFK8GIOSJDG we're at the beginning of Nock Em oh my god" got me rolling on the floor .
No joke, when I first played Knock Em, I thought that platform hiding the first coin would be a good place to hide a coin, so I jumped into it. That was three only coin on Subzero that I figured out myself lol.
I remember that the last coin in power trip was painful to find because I reset level every time I didn't find the coin at almost the end of the level in practice mode until I tested to click randomly 💀
I don’t really get why Colon is so cynical about all of this, not on the ranking as I agree with everything, but that he thinks that the placement for secret coins are doomed? Subzero was rushed, 2.2 isn’t (for better or for worst) he’s always put more care into the main levels than he does side game levels
What I interpreted this as was that if RobTop can make coins that bad in Subzero, who knows how bad nowadays creators can make coins, especially with all of the new stuff coming in 2.2
@@samuelding7854 I agree, but user coins in custom levels have always been either they’re too hard to get, too easy to get, or rarely are just the right amount of challenge
But though it's rushed, i'm pretty sure that there's a possibility that RobTop will force you to beat VSC to get a coin in 2.2
“I’m looking for a coin that’s fun, but instead you give me Platform 9 and 3/4”
One of the greatest GD quotes I’ve ever heard
THIS EXPLAINS EVERYTHING!!!
Okay so let me explain, I was too confused why I got the second coin in power trip but it doesn’t reward me with the second coin itself and I was **confused screaming** at that point.
And yes, I am getting ideas on where to put coins in my future levels. I’ll use advice someone gave to someone else! :D
5:18 The wall actually has one small detail - theres a green shimmer effect thingy
Like you would see that on a tiny phone screen, there needs to be way more shimmer for it to be seen
I'm making a game (not a geometry dash level), and adding collectibles for rewards from an npc, and this was pretty helpful. So, this is mostly universal for game design.
Yea..
7:31 actually this part does have a challenge, idk if it was actually updated as I'm new but this part has a challenge on gd subzero (mobile version)
Well, it was updated right after Colon made this video
the coins were pretty bad so Colon made this video, then RobTop (dev of the game) saw this video and he updated the coins to be better
