Ranking Every JonathanGD Level
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 мар 2023
- Check out LGN's video ranking these same levels (his video came first but I spent 2 months on this tbf lol) • Ranking JonathanGD's R...
JonathanGD is a popular creator in Geometry Dash, known for his XXL Demon levels such as Dark Travel, Dark Odysey, the Future Funk series, the BuTiTi series, and more. I'll be ranking all his rated levels in this video, and give some of my thoughts on them along with Jon as a creator :)
Now that all that juicy keyword spam is out of the way, I just wanna say that I'm pretty proud of how this video turned out. It's far from perfect but I'd say this is easily my best vid so far. I've slowly whittled away at it within the last 2 months, and most of that went into the writing.
Really hoping to get back into making content and get a new era of higher quality stuff like this (and maybe even throw in a few actually good ideas too lmao). I've improved my audio setup a good deal and might some more still. I'm also trying a lot harder to find a way of reading my scripts that sounds like I'm actually trying. Editing isn't the craziest thing ever but I hope you enjoy the new lil jam guy :) Tried not to overuse him lol
Also thumbnail is made by me. I have no idea how to draw, but I wanna at least try to make more thumbnails like this. Really happy with this one. Like I said tho, biggest improvement (other than the audio quality) is the writing in this so I hope I can get more efficient with that in the future lol.

Now that Monolithos is out, I'm sad to say that I'd have to put it at #6, bellow Future Funk. The quality of parts varies dramatically. Some parts are top 3 worthy easily, while some make the level feel like another Butiti 3, and everything in-between.
My favorite parts are easily the final parts of both modes. If the whole level looked as good as those, this would even have a chance at beating Erou and Biru (maybe, it is pretty short for a Jon level and while the song is very good, it's not my go-to cup of tea).
You can tell the middle parts were a lot more rushed and overall this level feels very uninspired. I hope Jon has a lot more fun making his 15 minute level, and I know that he's capable of WAY better stuff than this when he's inspired.
I have to say tho, Monolithos is very very fun to play. BuTiTi 3 didn't have that going for it lol
ok strawberry jam
You know, that's still not a bad placement for something that had to be rushed in the first place due to the deadline
Wait, Jonathan is making a 15 minute level?
Tbf Erou has a similar problem where the quality is very inconsistent. It is less noticeable in Monolithos imo, I agree with the level being very fun (except for the swingcopter but that got consistent). And yeah JonathanGD said he was tired of building Monolithos and just wanted to build his 15 min. level (Real Travel)
Jam i think you should've mentioned that XO has 6000 more objects than The Lost Existence. That's how low object level it really is.
I was gonna create a JonathanGD creator review like 2 years ago but I never got it past the scripting stage so its good to finally see such a high quality ranking of his levels. Good video!
thanks man! glad to do the topic justice :) also keep on with your very cool and good videos as well
1 reply?????? Ima fix that
oh hey matmart from geometry dash
I mean you and jam are great at telling stories and you're both very fun :)
I'm not one for silencing people that disagree with me but if you're just being straight up toxic, I'm deleting your comment
(that being said, most of you have been really nice and I've loved hearing all your opinions)
geometry dash, boom boom
Hello
@@nsfgd true
@@JamAttack yep
I think the reason Jonathan's levels are so popular is because of the soul put into it. Each one of his levels takes you on a grand journey as big as the one that made it come to fruition. A love for creating is present in each one of his works whether dated or not.
Also the little jam oc is such a funny goober protect him at all costs.
Yeah big agree, dude knows how to bring his stuff to life
Agreed. Simply amazing of how Jonathan grew so much as a creator, a skillful player and a content creator he is as well. He's truly amazing at what he does and makes in the community of this game.
Ye jam cute
Good video man I see you put along of effort into this video I really hope no one actually thinks your video is a replica of mine. Also thanks for the shoutout
np! :) I hope my video existing has brought yours some more traction as well lol. Glad you're understanding. Keep up the good work yourself!
NOO
@Logan Johnson you need to reply to him like this so he will know you responded to him
i told this was NCM
@@rivaloriginal tf does NCM mean?
I don’t know about y’all but Future Funk II and Butiti III are the best
oh no... I won't spoil what it is but you're in for a bit of a surprise with one of those
@@JamAttack ik you don’t like butiti III, personally I really like it and think a lot of it has aged really well, my favorite part is mainly everything since the haha funny dual
People really don't like butiti iii and it's kind of a shame, I love that level
@@black_koolaid I assume gp is the biggest dislike?
Butiti III is definitely the hardest JonathanGD level, so not as many people have tried it, but I really like the effects and gameplay, and how it stays true to the series. The part with a lot of lag holds up really well today, as well as a lot of other parts such as the mini cube reminiscent of the 80% ball in Butiti II
This video was extremely humorous, especially at Erou. Immaculate editing too, I love it all :D
Thanks! :) Spent a long time on this one.
@@JamAttack But fr, Er ou ok?
So glad to see Biru not forgotten about. Biru is a top 3 level for me, and I think that the level is one of Jon's best levels just for the fact that he was forced to use one color and he still managed to keep it interesting.
yeah it's really underrated imo. The theming really brings it up and the atmosphere is amazing
Jonathan literally spent 100x longer than I did on my biggest level than on his, his time dedication is admirable
yeah it's insane
@@JamAttack just....how you see the time that someone spent on a lvl?

I Absolutely love the Style of Content Man, The Story Telling and the Bits of Animation add so much life to your Videos, not to mention great Humor that doesnt become cringe or forced and Actually great Editting, You may take time between videos but you make absolutely amazing Videos Jam and we want you to know that :)
Also pretty Based list, Im glad you were honest about all your Opinions on it cuz some of them were definitely a bit Unique but great nonetheless
Thanks! ♥ I really want to try and make my videos the best that they can be so I'm glad that effort comes across :)
@@JamAttack I know that probably you may not see this but... OCTAGON FORCE IS THE BEST HARD DEMON IN THE GAME. ok I finally said it.
Really great video! Loved everything you put into this video to make it unique rather than just a normal ranking along with this video being very high quality, Amazing job!
loved the way you backed up your opinions on the placements, you explained your points pretty well & it made disagreeing with you a lot more fun than it would've been if you had excluded the personal impact aspect, you should totally do more of these :D
The one good thing I've gotten out of college
I really enjoyed watching this, your sense of humor meshes nicely with how the video is presented, especially the editing and pacing, nice work 😄👍✨
thanks man! :) worked pretty hard on this one
I love the emotion that you put into the narration of the video, it adds an element of humanity that I think a lot of longer videos miss
And yes you should play PMD :>
I played red rescue team and explorers of sky and I really liked those and I hear super mystery dungeon is pretty good
Great editing and humor, def enjoyed this masterpiece of a video! :)
Hey Jam! Loving your OC being brought to life in a bit of a animation. Very cute and cool if I do say so myself! And also, loved the video of you doing this rank of JonathanGD. He's truly amazing at making his stuff and how we grew so much as a creator, player and a content creator. His levels truly hits some of us hard in the feelings that we've never felt. Even for me of having an imaginary moments of being in one of those levels by myself or with him, like an adventure when more of the song kicks in and what he made of his designs. Even loved of you making it funny, meaningful and cinematic in your words and how the level process in Dark Travel. Great stuff man! And I hope all is well right now in your life you goofy goober. :) - ❤
Jon is such an important figure of this game, it's crazy to think how much one creator can do to a game. I still remember the impact Dark Travel had on me when I first saw it. :D
yeah it's crazy how anyone can rise up and completely change the history of something like Jon has with this game
that last reply was meant to be on a different comment idk what happened lol
@@JamAttack true
i absolutely love how instead of just saying your opinions and ending the video, you made it more "cinematic" in a way. this is genuinely a very funny and thought provoking video that i can now cross "having an existential crisis over a video about squares jumping over spikes" off my bucket list. very nice well done 10/10
my life goal of giving people an existential crises over a square game has been fulfilled
@@JamAttack life has no meaning and that's ok
I remember when Biru came out and I would play it a ton, I enjoyed the sync it had a lot. I wouldn't beat it until last year, and luckly the extention wasn't too bad to deal with. Hyped to see the ranking later :)
extension sucks ass bro
This is honestly one of my favorite videos, I come back and watch it every now and then
By the way, this is my favorite video of yours so far. You had confidence in your opinions, gave room for vulnerability when you saw it was necessary, and acknowledged the popularity that JonathanGD has. Despite more than enough people appreciating him, I can see from the video you have a connection with him no one else can have.
This video is great! The effort put in there is good. Overall a good video about my fav. GD creator
This video was super high quality, good job! :)
thanks! :)
Good video :)
I'm personally not the biggest fan of Jonathan's gameplay but I must admit that he puts a lot of effort into his levels and that's admirable.
dang i keep forgetting how great his levels are lmao
also i really enjoyed this video! i can tell you put a *lot* of effort into and i'm really happy to see more content like this
thanks! :) hoping to make more content of this quality. And yea jons levels are very nice and good
I really love dark odyssey, the lost existence, biru, and erou :)
45 min ago yet the comment is 16 hours ago HOW?
@@jonesiscool9907 Lol XD. Assuming ur not joking, Its a premiere
@@plasmapanther4444 oh
50 seconds in and love the editing.
you got a new sub.
Good and funny video! My personal favorite is The Farewell. :)
i love this video, especially how emotional it gets at the end
oh yea the animation is cool too
am i the only one that absolutely loved future funk? not talking about the second one, it's.. scary. future funk was pretty nice, not anything exceptional and after spending 4000+ attempts on it, it's one of the only levels that i've never gotten tired of becuase it's just pure eye candy, it has a general theme and really nice background/effects, it's gameplay is honestly too satisfying, it's pretty balanced (except for 99%, whyy). Really nice video tho, loved your editing :D
Glad you enjoyed the video! :)
And yea Future Funk still managed #5. I like it, it's a very fun level and the designs are nice.
JonathanGD's levels actually introduced me into enjoying songs made by onefin, and it also influenced my interest in PMD. Just knowing about these kinds of levels made my life for the better.
those are 2 things very worth being introduced to
I don’t know what exactly it is about his levels, maybe the duals, the endurance needed to beat his levels, or the decoration that is you can tell what objects made it yet still are unable to piece together how it’s made, but even after 3 years of trying on mobile, and still only 3 demons, I still have yet to beat Future Funk II, or any of his other levels, and I still love playing every single second of it. Call me bad or whatever you want, but I have never had any other creator, player, or other such figure influence me as much as Jon has. If you aren’t aware, he streams his level building nearly every day, and you can get some great insight on how he works and it’s truly amazing to watch him as he slowly brings his ideas to life. Never more have I loved looking at levels than when they are built by JonathanGD, and while there are other creators that have similarly put together levels like bli who are no doubt as great as JonathanGD, there’s a certain fullness to his levels that I can’t see anyone else replicate.
the attention to detail is insane
Honestly I love the darker atmosphere of Butiti III, along with its glitch theming throughout. It's almost a complete 180 from the goofiness of the first two, whilst keeping the neo digital aesthetic.
oh the earlier parts are actually pretty good but it just really falls apart later on
I really like how this video was written. Some jokes here and there, but also some serious, heartfelt topics. It's a difficult balance to achieve, but you pretty much nailed it imo.
Jonathan's levels are truly something unique, for better or for worse. And there's definitely some that outshine others. But in the end they're all good levels, even if the gameplay isn't the best at times. You can just see the effort put into them and it makes them quite memorable.
And while his creativity certainly plays a big role in what makes his levels great, I especially find the music to be of great importance. Best shown by Onefin's songs. They fully immerse you in the experience the level is trying to replicate. One of my favorite music creators, without a doubt. A bit of a shame that for a while this led to his videos getting flooded by GD players talking more about the level than the song.
Also, on a sidenote, you should definitely play PSMD. The beginning can be a bit boring and long-winded. But once you get out the first village, things get really interesting. Also fantastic music that you could listen to for hours. My favorite game ever.
Yeah this is definitely your best video. Hilarious, well edited, emotional somehow, it was really great!
thanks! ♥
@@JamAttack funny thing, btw, I used to think BuTiTi III was the best level ever made for absolutely no reason lmao
@@MagmaMageGD butiti iii is good tho 😭
@@xStarz05 I mean, it's fine, but I was like obsessed with it.
I played Erou fairly recently and found it extremely fun, and also had a very positive experience with Future Funk (despite a 99% death lmao). Jonathan's levels are by no means the best levels to be made, but they are still often amazing works of art. My favourites of his would probably be Biru and The Lost Existence, and my only major criticism of his levels would be the fact that their LDMs are often very empty, having had almost every detail removed. Great video, looking forward to seeing more from you :)
yeah I love his levels but it's a shame that they're so laggy for most people and that the LDMs kinda just remove all the charm
I'm pretty sure the LDM in Erou completely breaks one section in the drop making it near impossible (or maybe i just have a skill issue)
@@N3bulA_ I didn't have any issues, I play on 144hz though so it might be a refresh rate thing
@@xSDM did you do the LDM in game, or the LDM in the menu?
The LDM in the menu is the one that breaks it°
EDIT: I just replayed it, it's not impossible, but you have to jump far earlier than it looks (im talking about the two toggle orbs at the start of the drop). I don't get why removing the move triggers for the spikes were needed.
@@N3bulA_ yeah I remember finding that part hard, but I didn't realise it was actually different to the full detail version, weird
Man, this is such an amazing video... I've never watched Jam's content before, this is my first, and I have to say, _YOU LEFT AN IMPRESSION ON ME, MAN!_
-...The video's in fact so good that I am willing to forgive the Peaceful reference, and that's a prestigious thing coming from -*-ME!-*
thank you for forgiving me for such a crime
I know I'm a bit late, but congrats on 8k. Truly something you deserve. Also, dark odyssey is my favorite Jonathan level too.
Also, do you think you could rank your favorite levels that you made? (Featured only)
could be fun but I have a lot of them lol
@@JamAttack oh, still an idea though
I just noticed that you made the old RUclips format for 5:43 lol. Great video.
Just watched the dark travel section and I already loved it, I also have a soft spot as super mystery dungeon was my first game in the mystery dungeon series
I’m gonna finish the video but I do like how it all goes together, good video in advance 👍
Okay this actually goes way too insane wtf this is astounding
There are a lot of underrated videos this is definitely among them and I’M NOT DONE YET
How do I like more than once /silly
My personal favorites have to be dark travel, and butiti II i still remember discovering them when i was little and how much of a mark they left on me, nothing can beat how unique dark travel was to me, and i remember seeing so many parts so alive in butiti II, and i loved the handrawn style it had innovated so well
love how you made some gd levels into an emotional video (in some parts)
Biru placement!!! I love Biru wayyy too much, also this was a very good video!
fellow biru enjoyer
if we talk about the levels of JonathanGD, then he creates them on some specific basis, and if you find a tutorial on creating fantastic levels, you get a fantastically ingenious mixture, like Jonathan's. Nice work btw! 👍
no fleeting idea what this means but glad you liked the video lol
@@JamAttack ☺️
Tibuti is one of my favourite easy demons that I’ve beaten imo. I love that level
everyone argue with this so I can have more viewer engagement :troll:
Fun fact, the first thing I saw about gd is a video of dark Odyssey and that's how I came to know about gd and how I started playing this game. This level is in high regards for me just in that case but really it's a good level. Also great video btw you sort of have similar opinions as I do
Great video!!! New sub
Great list, nice seeing your opinions! Some I wouldn't agree, but that's just me
it's ok I forgive you
great video!
I'd say Butiti II and Future Funk are my favorites. They were the first JonathanGD levels I discovered, and are still unlike anything I have ever seen in GD. For years they've been my favorite levels in the whole game and still are :)
Amazing video, I love dark odyssey with all my heart and I wanna beat it for my first extreme, dark travel was step one but boy was that an adventure
Dark Odyssey was really fun for me but then again I did fluke it. If you do plan on going for it then I'd very much recommend practicing the hell out of the later parts till you can do them stupid consistently.
@@JamAttack yeah im excited for it, I had 90-100x103 or something on dark travel so I'm scared about how many runs I'm gonna have for odyssey
9:18- Jams mascot moves its mouth
awesome video :D
thanks :) your levels are cool too
im glad that we are in a time where we are able to criticise good gd creators
back then complaining about johnathan's levels were unseen but now we can actually do it without people wanting us dead
and yeah i agree with your points, he had his lows but even his lows were better than the highs of a lot of creators lets be honest
excited to see what will be his next level!
This video is AWESOME do this for more creators
thanks for 40 views
This is a really good video honestly, I enjoyed watching it a ton
Also you spelled The Lost Existence wro- *dies*
i tried
this man's voice makes him sound so happy to be alive and its inspiring
why is this video so deep
bro i almost cried at the end
JonathanGD inspired me to start my creating career in this game since Butiti III, and I’m grateful I went to this path. I want to be the next Jonathan or even better somewhere in the future.
yeah same man, so many of my levels wouldn't have existed without him
Him, Zylenox, Serponge, and Jayuff are the people that really got me into creating.
I like how in the beginning of the video he likes, “does 100 hours sound like a lot”. Now he a little over 100 hours in his easy demon
i literally had a video on my reconmended 10 seconds ago about ranking jonathan levels
GG dude
Future funk was an interesting choice for my first hard demon...
And i don't regret a SECOND of it.
Wow, I Appreciate Everything you do Jam! Jonathon has fans and people that hate him and what I always say is don't worry on people that will hate worry on the people that are loyal
well there are people that hate and there are people that just want to give you constructive criticism, but if someone's tearing you down just for sake of tearing you down, their opinion is as good as useless.
well I guess now that I think about it, you can sometimes still learn stuff from those people but take it with a very very big grain of salt
I actually really liked RAMBreaker, so I'm surprised it got so low. The gameplay is very fun (for the most part) and consistent (for the most part) and the balancing is Jonathan balancing. I'd probably put it above Erou if I made a ranking like this.
very unique opinion but I'll respect it
11:15 “The drop DROPS down in quality” that’s the greatest drop.
I don't know what it is, but Biru just makes me feel happy whenever I see it
I like the darker tone of Butiti III, and the glitchy theming, but it doesn't feel as "eventful" as Butiti II. Butiti II had the vocal parts with lyrics, the Juniper house and bossfight, the throwbacks to the first Butiti, and the classic rainbow duel. Butiti III has a rainbow duel too, a nice visual with the dash orb after the duel, and a cool part where the OG Butiti block is just chillin, but compared to Butiti II, there's not a lot of stand-out parts that really cement the level in my mind. It's less like a Butiti II sequel, and more like a darker remake of Butiti II.
Look guys I've played mystery dungeon games before just not super mystery dungeon specifically lol the amount of comments I've gotten about that in the past few hours...
DjamTack you r topid
Lso thad anemitation afterr tha rebbot thin wash da besh thin eye eevrr sin
at 9:19 u jumpscared me because it’s 2am and i was falling asleep to the 15 seconds of silence but it’s ok i forgive you 🤭🤭🫡🤗🤭🤗🤤
hi update, i finished the video i really enjoyed it i think your jokes are very funny and my style and you put lots of emotion behind it very good very good glad this video is doing well, anyways good night i’m tired yay
I feel bad for never playing Erou, imma play it rn
it is a pretty fun level
it's ok though I never actually played well rested, I need to do that
That was a meaningful video if I've ever seen one
Since Monolithos is out rn, the only parts that i like is the trippy wave and ufo bc it syncs so well with the music + plus the ending and beginning is also kinda cool
most reasonable opinion on the level I've heard
Jam: some people come home to a loving wife
Some to a cute cuddly pet
I come home to eruok by Jonathan gd
Me: I come home to caffeine
I would play his demons more than I did on common ones. I don't know why but I will always enjoy his levels no matter how many times I fail. Also about to beat Future Funk II and probably going for Dark Odyssey in the future.
I've beaten both of those and I had a good time with them personally
Men I fucking love high quality Geometry Dash content
I hope the men heard you
This video idea isn't the most original idea ever, but I tried to execute the idea as well as I could.
Shoutout to these people who did this first:

Also I didn't copy LGN's video, I've been working on this vid for about 2 months.
DUDE THAT ENDING GOT ME F@CKING CRYING BRO FUNNI BUT TRUE
I don't know why but the Undertale OST just fits with JamAttack's videos
Listen to the actual soundtrack, part 2 of it is literally amazing
Biru is kind of unbalanced in a way that makes the level anoying to play but extremely sick nontheless, and Erou is my absolute favourite Travel Level, John Level and maybe, just maybe my favourite easy demon of all time (Hard to rank them easy demons tho), and Butiti II and Dark Odyssey are for me the definition of a perfect travel level (Erou is easier, so it goes up above those tho), the others, I agree with their position tho.
What do you think of my opinion Mister Jelly Man? BTW, sick video dude :)
the last ship in biru is pretty brutal
Yeah, I was trying to beat Biru for some time but I left it on hold because the second half and halfway were getting very annoying to die to, and yes, as you said, the last ship is very hard, but I don't think it's as hard as that Dual at the end. That part is pure pain. Glad Erou exsists now and I finally could pass a Demon John level.
Dude, you're like the parallel universe me. My name is Jack (attack) and my initials are JAM. We're roughly the same age, we both make music, we both have RUclips channels of primarily GD content, and I'm guessing we're both on the spectrum. You're like if the government cloned me but gave me buffs so I could make pretty levels and good video essays. Freaky
I don’t know about you, but those ratings for Butiti and Butiti II were spot on
Man, Beyond The Nature brings back some memories
Dark odyssey is the only gd lvl i can remember of that actually had be completely under the shock on first watch
2:21 whatever he was smoking, i want that also 🗿
I'm in the process of making a travel level right now. I'll make sure to make it intresting.
gl those are fun to make
Very good video
4:51 sends me rolling on the floor laughing my buttocks off with the mention of *LONELY TRAVEL*
That one part in BuTiTi where its all invisible and you have to follow the melody... it gives me nightmares
The bad lip reading part was so accurate hahahahaha
8:58 the glazing overloaded the system
this is the craziest geometry dash video ever (in a good way)
YHANK YOU FOR PUTTING THE SONG IN THE CONNOR (I can’t spell sorry)
Ain't no way blud turned dark travel into a Netflix K-drama
who is this jonathangd guy? he seems pretty good at this game.
yeah just found out about him today
I need help how did you analyze the editor time like did you use a plugin or megahack? or something i just dont have?
it's a mod called better info
13:47
“Holy mother of all things ever.”
Oooh that’s a new one.
"How long did this take and existential crisis."
That's a nice name.
12:38 had me dying of laughter. He showed the only laggy part of the level!
