Honestly pretty funny how I only started hearing about this level immediately after beating Black Blizzard for my hardest. As someone who’s beaten it another thing I want to add, just to “yes, and” everything you’ve said (generic overdesign fits the bill pretty well with this), one thing about Black Blizzard that I love is it’s ability to obscure your vision for the purpose of brining you into its world, and doing so without feeling gimmicky or annoying. It feels like you’re trying to maneuver through the impossibly strong winds and mist. EVERYTHING about the act of playing Dark Dimension looks INSUFFERABLE, and I don’t just mean the difficulty. I wouldn’t play this if it was the difficulty of Mechanical Showdown. All it’s attempts to bring you bring its world are shallow and irritating rather than immersive, even looking past the constant sound effects which are so exhaustively literal-minded (it’s a storm? better have tons of storm sound effects!) they could be a genuine comedic asset in a better level, and every structure constantly moving around. In general, the level can’t modulate to save its life. Black Blizzard doesn’t overwhelm you with sensory input right out the gate; the block designs in the level, most notably in the first quarter, are actually very simple in spite of their aesthetic appeal. Because Krmal understands that in order to step into a world, there needs to be empty space for the visiter to occupy. There needs to be negative space between objects. This new level is so overstuffed with decoration that it’s difficult to actually distinguish parts from each other if you’re not already familiar with Black Blizzard. There are no peaks and valleys, it’s just a flat line.
I knew when I heard that the editor would be adding sound effects that some people would immediately start doing shit like this. The best uses of sound effects are going to be the ones you barely notice.
this levels existence feels like a giant middle finger to black blizzard, as if the original didn't hold up well and needed to be reimagined with "modern" decoration
@@ewetwentythree yes so that means if you extend this far enough, something like saxerix is one of the worst levels in the game in the same way this is
its technically not the worst level. but its the lion king 2019 of remakes. it looks fine, albeit forgettable, but the fact that there is literally nothing creative and the only reason it seems to be made is to be for some cinematic style mythic bait is the worst part. its not a reinterpretation/remake of black blizzard. they spent all their time making flashy eye candy visuals then couldn't even bother with the gameplay because the krmal style of gameplay is so hard to make right apparently. tldr just play nightlife
some changes to the gameplay also feel REALLY unneeded like, why does the first cube become large at quite a few points? what's with the random black orbs on the iconic staircase? why are there just random blue orbs clicks in that one auto at the start of the cube? why is there a fucking swingcopter in the middle of the second cube?? i'm not against changes made to gameplay in remakes but i feel like they need to fit the original level, and these changes feel like they're just there to make the level super ultra hard and nothing more, which also kinda removes some of the identity that the level could've had
I think of Dark Dimension more as a Black Blizzard 2022/3/4 kinda thing, it’s just remaking X level in the popular style of the time. Not necessary, especially not with BB as it’s already perfect and one of the most timeless levels ever, but for me at least it doesn’t feel like a kick in the nuts to the original like a lot of people think it is.
Remaking an extreme demon (or any level) in general is such a "middle finger" move. Every level has their own personality (for best or for worst) and remaking them into a "generic" glow APTeam "art" style is a big red flag.
I got this level recommended to me yesterday or today, can't remember, and I thought it was neat IF Black Blizzard didn't exist, but with Black Blizzard existing that mindset is just immediately shifted from "Oh this is a good looking standalone level" to "This is not a good remake, stop remaking KrmaL's levels it's a bad idea". Even KrmaL himself pleaded the community to not remake his levels because it's a bad idea, you have to top his levels in some new ways KrmaL either didn't or couldn't do originally. Sunset Sandstorm as you've mentioned is a fantastic example of transforming an existing formula into something new, heck before watching this video I never thought that Sunset Sandstorm was heavily inspired by Black Blizzard, that's just how well SS did. With Dark Dimension, you know it's a Black Blizzard remake which sets the expectations high and unfortunately to me it boils down to a level being made for views and not for innovation. I'm ok with remakes or spinoffs as long as it can be transformed into something new, but Dark Dimension is not a good example. Also the SFX are obnoxious, watching this on my phone it was genuinely hard to hear the music as it was just obstructed by the weather SFX which isn't a bad thing, but you shouldn't make it obvious. Also this is just my distaste but Dark Dimension is a collab, not a solo remake, which in my opinion makes the level even worse since you have all of the trademark mega collab problems in this level, not to say that every collab remake is bad but the vast majority of them are not good. In short, Dark Dimension would be good as a standalone thing, not a remake to an already memorable and iconic level.
This entire level is an example of how most people just make levels hard for the sake of views and remaking another level just gives you more viewership I honestly forgot this was a thing until i saw this video that's how meaningless and soulless like this level and many levels like it are
i propose a new term: "cherry style", named after you-know-who. its to refer to these overdecorated modern slopfest levels that solely exist to get popular. dark dimension is the current best example of it.
They didn't even initially credit KrmaL because they "forgot" there's no way you'd have fun building something and forget to credit the original creator
I don't really hate the existence of dark dimension but the biggest problem is there is no real build up, like black blizzard drop does so much with darkness, effects and only adding more after 60%, while in dark dimension you can't even tell a difference between predrop and drop. The song itself already has that insane build up and intensity and dark dimension just doesn't use it I feel like. Also just the sound effects would be enough to hate it I guess, I only had the unfinished version in my mind and thought you were joking but no...
appreciate that you did a video of my lvl lol, thanks but next time if you wanna do a review, do something more than i dont like glow and this should not exist, feedback is always appreciated, sorry if isnt what you wanted but we are trying our best, and we gonna do a update to try fix what we did wrong or could be better, we arent perfect but we always try improve right? #ThePurgatorySupremacy
My headphones broke while watching the video so I was literally just listening to the rain sounds for about a minute lol. Just rewatched it, awesome videe. Imo Dark Dimension basically sucks because it’s an uninspired remake that sucks thematically and looks like generic top 1 slop. The sfx are intrusive, the gameplay is really bad and it’s even worse because it’s literally artificially buffed Krmal gp and everyone knows how terrible Krmal’s gp can be at times. The theme isn’t even done right too with the drop part not feeling menacing due to the fact that the drop isn’t dark for some reason even tho Dark is literally a part of both its them, its name and the original level. I agree with basically your entire review of it
while i do like some of the effects and visuals of the level, i feel like it could just be it's own thing, instead of trying to leech off the originals legacy also yeah the sfx are obnoxious lmao whos idea was this
Sometimes i wonder what's the point of criticizing a level, the existence of that level will not break you a bone or ruin your life in anyway, just let people build what they want.

you stepping away from the mic and adding obnoxious rain sound effects is more creative than Dark Dimension
I love the subtle rain sound effects.
"subtle"
youtube should add the fx slider fr
The sound effects were a great addition to the video i believe geometry dash levels should do the same it would make them much better
I knew when I heard that the editor would be adding sound effects that some people would immediately start doing shit like this. The best uses of sound effects are going to be the ones you barely notice.
this level is like our own version of disneys live action remakes
I’d like to take a second to apologize to Edge of Destiny
I love when you do stuff like this, like in the jump indicators video.
Fr

this isnt a revamp this is a remake.
doing your video like this just perfectly illustrates why sound effects in levels don’t work 90% of the time. Phenomenal work
can you remove the talking guy in the background im trying to hear the rain noises better
this is definitely one of the worst levels in the game and in a game with such a storied history as geometry dash that’s kind of astounding
ok man that's just an exaggeration i can point to at least 20 levels worse than this
@@memesong21 can you point to 19
@@memesong21 21st is still one of the worst. 100th worst is still one of the worst

I feel like I’m at a funeral
its not very often we see an extreme that doesnt look like this
This might be the worst level of all time, I'm not sure whether to laugh at it or feel insulted by it. Also love what you did with the voiceover lmao
If Glowy was released today it wouldn't be a joke

The sound is crystal clear
Disliked. I wasn't able to fully appreciate the sound effects due to your talking.
This takes me back to „geometry trash: remakes“
subtitles coming in clutch 🔥
im surprised they work as well as they do here, damn
I can’t wait for them to add subtitles for Creo: Dimension
