i remember playing gd in this era, this was a really good example of what levels were like back then, but the only thing id say you missed is ending the level right as the drop hits 💀
This is the era I started playing in lol I had no hope for good levels then You've got basically everything, except: -ending at the drop -random symmetrical cube dual -black screen blue pad transition for 10 seconds with random speed changes -wave with generic slope gameplay
2017 2.1 level starter pack: - Dex Arson song or Colorblind ✔️ - Move trigger abuse ✔️ - Flat, empty designs ✔️ - Readable but boring gameplay ✔️ - Slow-spinning saws ✔️ - Appears in a random gauntlet for whatever reason ✖️ - The exact same color throughout the entire level ✔️ - Coins that are pretty much free ✔️ - Ends at the drop ✖️ - Epic somehow ✖️ You got pretty close
I kind of want to make my own generic level now. I was around back when stuff like this got featured, and honestly for nostalgia's sake now that I have 19 CP I wanna try if I could make something like this aswell. So yea, thanks for the motivation Tride! :)
@@rraaiin honestly just the achievement for the icon. I understand what you're saying so I could also offer to hop on a call with someone and have them teach me. That would be cool
I was thinking that when he was trashing rob for these features levels...but they were just the standard at the time. Nobody knew that 2.1 could hold Crazy III by dav...
playing since 1.9 here, you missed a few -SUPER long blue pad chains before the drop -The song ending right as the drop hits -Invisible speed changes -Changing the colour of the orbs and portals to black -adele
Not bad, you could’ve added some some obstacles in the air so you can make it look more filled up. I liked this and brought back memories back when I played GD World on my tablet
Random fitting to music size portals on ship are kinda ok. I used it in one of my levels just released. It is kindna dope. The ship changing the size to the music rythmus. But i dont use it THAT often. Nice vid!
I like this style of video ngl. Would love to see this style of vid even more, or maybe even a documentary similar to your race to dethrone tartarus vid
I actually miss levels with visuals like this where you can actually tell wtf is going on, so much ‘difficulty’ of levels now is just having salt thrown in your eyes :
Instead of spreading the move triggers to move the air deco up and down, you could have just made a spawn trigger loop, it’s a bit harder but it uses less objects
bro you should try to make a rate worthy level! if you can do these building videos, like your top 1 extreme demon and those attempts at modern deco, i have a lot of faith in your ability to make a rate worthy level
Now make an early 2.0 level, complete with rainbow puke, way too many random move triggers, non-blending glow, fire and rotating shine blocks, and teleporters everywhere

The drop is usally the Best part o of the song so 💀

@@kuki6383 that's kinda the point
LMAO TRUE
DUDE SO TRUE
I feel like if this level was made a few years earlier I probably would of seen it in a gauntlet or something
It’d be in the Poison Gauntlet 100%
Probably bonus gauntlet hgl
Imagine if it was in one of the new gauntlets lol

Not even joking

0:48
"fly into that subscribe button"
"lets get into the building"
🤨
0:01 noone talks about how WELL SYNCED that part is!
The introduction makes me feel like I want more commentary only videos. (like The Race To Dethrone Tartarus)
2:10 i would recommend using a spawn loop next time :)
but this level would actually have a chance of getting rated if we were in 2017 rn
i bet the creators back then didn't know how to use spawn loops either lmao
they didnt, spawn loops are pretty recent, at least as the meta
2016 was when these generic levels were actually made
This 100% would've gotten rated back then.
IDK how to do a spawn loop.
7:49 to me it makes sense why. Back then 2.1 was new. RobTop and other players didnt know how good can something actually look now in 2.1.
I was thinking that when he was trashing rob for these features levels...but they were just the standard at the time. Nobody knew that 2.1 could hold Crazy III by dav...

Its epic to see how involved from this kind of design to full on robotic xender game design and really cool modern design.
playing since 1.9 here, you missed a few
-SUPER long blue pad chains before the drop
-The song ending right as the drop hits
-Invisible speed changes
-Changing the colour of the orbs and portals to black
-adele
Yeah that was missed. You gotta play some of the gauntlet levels, which truly show the 2.1 style the best
Not bad, you could’ve added some some obstacles in the air so you can make it look more filled up. I liked this and brought back memories back when I played GD World on my tablet
That piano version of colorblind just doesn’t hit the same…
I agree, the original is way better.
ay ah ee ay ooh ah
i still cant believe how good levels in 2017 we're. I cant even build anything close to that. Keep up the good work Tride
If you ignore the fact that some 2.1 levels today are like 2.0 themed
If u can't build as good as this there's nothing else i can do for u rather than feel bad for u
The fact that this is better than all my levels that I actually work hard on
this is so immersive. It's like I'm 10 years old again
In defense of the creators at the time, they did have more going on in the levels than here.
they literally didn't
No, they didn't lol
i love the choice of music during the video! the music brings me back and it is a good background for your videos!
Super Meat Boy's OST is a banger
@@audigamer8261 ong
Random fitting to music size portals on ship are kinda ok. I used it in one of my levels just released. It is kindna dope. The ship changing the size to the music rythmus. But i dont use it THAT often. Nice vid!
Once 2.2 is released, this is how 2.2 levels will look a few years from now
well not actually
oh how wrong you were
I like this new commentary video style. You should definitely do more of these
I like this style of video ngl. Would love to see this style of vid even more, or maybe even a documentary similar to your race to dethrone tartarus vid
The fact that Tride can make a level look so bad still look so much better than mine
I’ve actually been a big fan of early 2.1 levels the gameplay is very fun and the deco is simple yet satisfying to play
damn, this is weirdly nostalgic, I even kinda miss generic levels now..
only thing missing is 500000 mini and normal portals
Tbf 3:29 is pretty close to that
Everyone is talking about how they used to play these types of levels or the level itself. But I will say:
Congrats on graduating.
I like how the bg just stops for no reason at 6:49
the end coming somewhere random as hell in the song, in the middle of a phrase, cus that's where the generic gameplay formula got you is a nice touch
i can't wait to read the most recent comments and see 1 million comments saying "Better than anything i've ever made"
Wow bro, you're so original
Super Meat Boy music in the background brings back many memories. Great video!
What do you mean it’s “terrible”, to me it’s amazing.
I actually miss levels with visuals like this where you can actually tell wtf is going on, so much ‘difficulty’ of levels now is just having salt thrown in your eyes :
I first started playing in about mid-late 2017, so this video is very nostalgic. And you got it pretty spot on, including the song.
Of all the levels you have made, this is certainly one of them
I love that style of commentary! When used well, it could be great!
was that a roast
@@MysticGrassCutter no
Now imagine how generic early 2.2 levels look like
I came from the future to say that we got fire in the holes
Now we got a 3d level
pixel block
imagine someone in the future making same video but about 2022 and its just dark level with lots of color
6:19 devil vortex
This video is basically just Tride making fun of generic levels for almost ten minutes straight.
I'd love to say this brings me nostalgia...it doesn't. I hate these types of levels just as much as I did back then, good job tride!
This is the weirdest nostalgia I've felt lmao I remember this too clearly
Also I experienced every possible emotion when you choose the song
@@slurpnderp1838 even lust?
Bro this is better than my entire career
this is missing the pinwheel effect every early 2.1 generic level had
I remember playing this level
Oh wait
LMFAO
So it isn't just me that actually hates those invisible size changes in ships
yes, you’re not the only one. i too, hate the invisible size changes.
First saw them in acid factory, only thing I hate about that levl
In the end put a trillion dedications to creators and you're good
I’m not gonna lie some generic levels look a lot better than some levels today
the level in the intro is hilarious because you can tell the song it uses is machina just by the gameplay
I like how this "Terrible" level is better than all of my good levels combined!
4:12 “Variety” Me: I Thought This Was Meant To Be A Generic Level
The random unimpressed "I graduded now"
Perfection
I didn’t play Geometry Dash in 2017 but this video somehow gives me memories I have never experienced.
Fun fact: you can drink lava, but only once.
Erm actually the lava is too hot and it would probably burn you before you could drink it 🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓
@@benlafleur8130keyword: "Probably"
I like this kind of commentary, nice work!
pov: you are playing a gauntlet level
Can't even deny that one lmao
Why is the first thing I laugh at in this video is "now its time for the jump orb deco! Yea thats it. "
love how graduating is just a “that’s insane” combined with the classic Tride laugh
I remember levels like this! I am so happy others remember this era as well!
Ur actually a pretty good creator ngl
Super meat boy music in background dude, nostalgia! xD
I’m not crying its just dust in my eyes
You forgot to hid a coin in one of the clouds in the ship part
Where is the shake trigger for every note the song has
Instead of spreading the move triggers to move the air deco up and down, you could have just made a spawn trigger loop, it’s a bit harder but it uses less objects
Robtop: sees the level **
Also Robtop: Rate Worthy
Everything before the ship: DASHING
I just got punched SO HARD in the gut, I make these levels because I like the gameplay, and this type of level was my first level other than layout
Just copy and paste glow & air decoration until you hit the 40k object limit and that probably would’ve gotten you 3 creator points in April 2017
Tride returns my schooldays
this fits perfectly in the fire gauntlet
i got nostalgia from this also you forgot the way to long blue jump pad auto part
This level does travel back in time
When 8 of your favourite RUclipsrs upload on one day it's a good day. Keep up the good work, I also FLEW into that subscribe button
The only thing you forgot was the pinwheel effect. Other than that, it's pretty good.
Petition for tride to do more commentary videos?
Danolex: "DID SOMEONE SAY GENERIC?"
the meat boy music fits perfectly for this video
7:17 is air walking spider 😂
I see this level tride and it's a blast
Finally I can say that my levels were at least better than generic levels
i just finished my first level, was proud of it, saw this video, still proud of it
this shows how easy it was to get cp back in 2.0
And that Getting CP today is near impossible
