If you're reading this, generation retro ruined my life no cap
Hey - just an important reminder that you should NOT go after the creator, harass them, spam their levels with hate, etc. This should be common sense.
Generation Retro is a VERY creative level with lots of fun theming, but the creator just didn't do a very good job at building it in the editor. It's a random custom level that a kid dreamt up and worked hard on, and usually I would never hate on someone for doing that.
*HOWEVER* - this level is in a Gauntlet, which means millions of players are forced to play it. This basically means that the level is "official", and for that reason I wanted to dive deep into it and pinpoint why it's so hated - so new creators don't make the same mistakes. It's a charming level on its own, but an absolute trainwreck inside a Gauntlet.
*I don't hate the creator and I don't hate the idea of the level. I hate the fact that RobTop scooped up a random 13 year old's level for a Gauntlet that will be played by a massive audience.* Think of this video as "Why this level shouldn't be in a Gauntlet", and NOT "Why this level shouldn't exist".
This level was probably made by some 8 year old who just found out about the GD editor
Wtf I just scrolled down here after finishing the video out of curiosity hi colon
@CatkinsonGD same lol
smash like if you were here when k lemon's comment was the pinned comment
too late
Fun Fact: The insert coin is not for aesthetic purposes, when the text pops up it's the level stealing money from the player's bank account.
bruh
@opkaskun breh
new update: the transaction trigger
@aevynity gd 2.3: the EA update
It is so you cannot pay for therapy
If the biggest problem with generation retro is the fact that it is in a gauntlet, then it's technically robtops fault
Fair point! If the main gripe is its placement in a gauntlet, blame it on RobTop's level selection. We're all just navigating the challenges he throws our way! 🎮🤷♂
yes
so
robtops the issue
Exactly
that’s why colon is arguing about this for like 30 minutes
I love the character developpement :
The red alien : "NOOOOO !"
The decoy alien : "NOOOOO !"
The friendly alien : "NOOOOO !"
The player : "NOOOOO !"
You after playing the level : "NOOOOO !"
Edit : Yes, I misspelled development, french guy here. I'm sori.
Colon after seeing text “Part 2?”: “NOOOOO !”
NOOOOOO !
Me internally after seeing the typo "developpement": NOOOOO !
NOOOOO!
You while reading this reply: "NOOOOO!"
the level being ass is a reference to old arcade limitations
Yes probably
AHAHAHAHAHA
@Outobox *jajaja
@CircleGaming2763 You Have Not Win!
@robotinik0 Its Time For a Game Over!
I have a theory that "jajaja" is not laughing in spanish, the red alien is actually trying to ask you if you're jar jar binks, his long lost brother at birth. Sadly, because of his immense stutter, he can't bring himself to do it and he instead starts trying to kill you because he got frustrated
based take
Pin of brilliancy
Perfect Pin
Now that is a theory
NO I DON'T WANT TO-
a game theory
this is comedy gold
I would never think a 27 minute video would be committed to complaining about a bad 2.0 level.
1.9 never had moving objects lmao
2.0 lmao
it’s early 2.0, which is like 1.9 but with moving objects, lol
2.0 was certainly something
@radian478 thinking space is newer than this just thought id let everyone know
Never thought I’d see a grown man bully a 7 and a half year old video game level probably made by a middle schooler for half an hour
ITS ROBS FAULT HE PUT IT IN THE STUPID GAUNTLET
@GDColon l am 2nd comment
@alinluncadenis1849 did you know that
@Dunnohowtodraw he's 19
See my comment gdcolon please
I need to know if there is something wrong with my level or if it is fine and just needs decoration
18:19 THE CRICKETS OUTSIDE MY HOUSE SYNCED TO THE SILENCE
wild
@Shoombugula literally a wild sfx
@bruh12786 lol
wait what same
@Shoombugula how wild...?
Watching Colon violently screaming over a level made in 2015 in a 2d cube game is just filling my heart with joy.
In my opinion there are worse levels, especially the early 2.0 levels
@Majuro-1 Colon specifically said that it's not the worst level quality wise, but because it's in a gauntlet
Really got me rethinking my whole life but at the same time I'm agreeing with everything he's saying
like the coins did lol
Ya mean a square?? "A 2D CUBE"
10:43
I theorize that perhaps maybe the reason the alien yells "NO!" is that the blind jump just before is actually a trap set up by him, and he is actually upset that you survived his trap
Genius
Wasn't that kinda obvious?
Oh that makes a lot of sense at first I thought that he welcomed the player at first because he didn’t expect the player to get to far but ur theory makes more sense 👍
@nonexistent-yt9em man you got to ruin it
I think the issue with Scarlet Surge is that if you can't beat it in your first few attempts, it just becomes tedious. Crashing in the last 25% makes you REALLY not feel like playing the entire damn thing again.
Doesn't that 25% thing apply to literally apply to every harder+ level? But I get your point.
@Haythamsaleno because scarlet surge is a XL level and i hate it with a deep passion
@virturegd5247 understandable, have a great day
i beat it when bad at the game and it took me a few hundred attempts. literally cannot see your point
@virturegd5247 if your gonna say you hate it dont compliment it first
Alright. Lemme break the lore down for ya:
The coins in the level represent the players who have inserted the coins earlier, that is why it says "insert coin".
The red alien welcomes us at first, but, as we go deeper into the level, the red alien notices that we did not insert the coin, and are heading to steal the other coins for ourselves.
The blue alien notices the behaviour of the red alien (agressive towards the player) and, without understanding the reason, decides to protect us.
The bossfight is the attempt of the red alien to make us reset, and insert the coin. The blue alien thinks that the red alien is just malicious.
These things we fire at the red alien are left there by the blue alien. The first hit stuns the alien, dealing the damage. The second one does the same. And we lost the third one during our flight, but the third time the damage is dealt is explained by the alien slowly burning from our projectiles. Those look like molotovs, by the way.
With the projectiles, we weaken the red alien. He becomes more angry as we approach another coin.
The blue alien returns to the weakened red alien to fire a ray, in order to weaken the red alien even more.
We end up beating the red alien to get the last, golden coin.
And the spanish laughter, the jajajaja?
It is the laughter of amusement, silly little ourselves, thinking there is no one to protect the coins we were bound to steal.
you're cookin tho??
@thefriendlyallay hallucinating before some green pixels I guess
24:39 Harry Potter ass battle
lmfao
Seriously guys, stop blaming ArathhSA for making the level. Blame RobTop for adding the level into the Poison Gauntlet in the first place.
I knowww
100% fax right there
That's literally the ENTIRE POINT of this video as Colon says at the end!!!!!
@benrythefox365 it said the level f__king sucks at the end
same with whymewhyme
You know it's gonna be good when it's 27 minutes of chaos
i know
Yeah and I love gd cologne
This comment is nothing but the truth.
Why, how do you know,,, HOW DO YOU KNOW
You know youtube is drunk when it says 0 comments but then there is comments
18:30 i half-expected him to say "your mom"
You asked for theories, so here’s mine:
The red and blue aliens are brothers, and the blue one was always the better kid and their parents’ favorite. As expected, the red alien was jealous, so he kidnapped his own brother and brought him to his own part of the galaxy. The green aliens are his workers and are supposed to make sure the blue alien never escapes. He allows visitors so nobody is suspicious of him hiding something. That’s why he was all nice at the beginning of the level. But when the key is collected, it opens up the area where the blue alien was trapped. That’s why the red alien says “NOOO!!!” The red alien begins to search for the blue alien, and sends his highest ranked worker, the other red alien in the first boss fight, to take care of you. The blue alien knows that you’re in trouble, so he goes to save you. After the first boss is defeated, the red alien decides that he needs to take care of you first. That leads to the “level final.” The red alien then destroys the blue alien, which leads to you getting revenge for him once and for all, as you blast the red alien.
I really just spent ten minutes of my life writing a story on a RUclips comment. Welp
sobbing
@GDColon No I Am
@GDColonso emotional 😢😢😢😢😢

so emotional 😭
"jajajaja you have not win! you... DIED!!!!"

Yeah so true
Soo true

NOOOOO
5:25 i love how colon doesn't say "if you're not familiar", but rather "if you are not cultured" lmao
I mean who doesn’t know AVGN?
@Crudely-Drawn-Cupcake I know it but ive never watched it
feel free to bully me
you dont know old popular thing??? 😡😡😡 uncultured!!!
@Crudely-Drawn-Cupcake me
@DOG_EATER_1887 Apparently something that was still very popular in 2019 is "old popular thing".
i swear bro comments on every single frame
I feel bad for the creator that he only gets negative comments. Yeah, the level might not be perfect, but it was made a long time ago, plus he didn’t want his level to be in a gauntlet.
True
Maybe he didn’t expect the level to be in the gauntlet. Maybe he was a little happy.
And the level was his first rate level
well ii dont hate creators for bad levels since everyone makes bad levels but learn from it, the porblem is robtop
To get in a gauntlet you has to submit your level to robtop so he did want it to be in a gauntlet
I feel like if Generation Retro was made today and polished up a bit, it could genuinely be a really awesome level. In my opinion, some of the concepts are really unique but I feel like the creator couldn’t really establish them properly because of the time period the level was made in.
And experience, it was his first rated level
If generation retro was made today, it wouldnt be in a gauntlet
@blanonsrandomstuff5446
that’s probably true lmao, another level could replace it which could be cool
@damanoteyeah but it definitely ah gonna not be switched so no neeeed to say probbly
@blanonsrandomstuff5446 they could update it but might be a bit to hard

@Unseenrays Don't forget some rum
21:37
IN THE HOLE
jajaja you have not win you died is absolute cinema
Theory: I think the reason why the alien says “NO” after he welcomes you is because he wanted you to have died by now. He welcomed you because this was supposed to be a death trap, but when it became unsuccessful, he got angry. Maybe that can also explain the gameplay at the start. What are your thoughts?
Ooo, that's a good theory
@jelly545a game theory!
Oh yeahhh now the key thing makes sense
Am 69th like
I think that the alien is mad that you're completing the level, being fully aware that the player will exit once the level was finished, so it tries to make you have not win so you start all over again, hence the bossfight.
Fun Fact,
3:41 Outerspace was originally the last level in fire, before it and Magmatic Sanctuary were switched
Damnn, talk about balancing...
Wasn't it Shock? OuterSpace was 3rd I guess
I mean magmatic sanctuary was made before outerspace, so...
Magmatic sanctuary first? I would’ve never finished that gauntlet
@pugzgmdnever would have started it 💀
grown man complains about a 13 year olds level for 30 minutes
@xyloxyloxyloxyloxylo wrd
Lol
He literally said that he has no problem with the level existing, but the fact that it’s in a gauntlet makes it REQUIRED to complete
that's harsh.
bru
11:00
He got mad that you got that far. At first he was teasing you to enter his domain but later realizes that you are a real threat that he now has to take care of.
11:36 i think it might be an unimplemented coin design
it probably is
It would make sence it looks like one and has the same out line thing as the orbs
Same
Same it makes total sense
I checked and the eye is an animation of a coin spinning,
I think the eyeball thing at 11:15 was an early version of the custom coins seen later in the level. The part that disappears looks kind of like a coin, and the disappearing could be the coin getting collected. My guess is it wasn’t clear enough what it was, so the creator switched to the newer version later on.
also there's an extra state that looks like the coin part is rotated 90 degrees
Or it's a autoing method like devil vortex saws
thats nice of them to do. wouldnt want to make the level un-sight-readable or anything.
Nice detective work! The disappearing eyeball might indeed be an early coin concept.
But why would he just leave it there🤔
Gd colon at beginning:
“WHAT?! DO I LOOK LIKE MATPAT TO YOU?”
Gd colon at 7:07
“THAT SWEET DELICIOUS LOREEEEEE”
True. And how am i the first reply?
@Geolxx common sense
yes he does
I think the weird eyeball was the coin texture that was going to be used
That's right.
We're going back in time, to get Generation Retro OFF the Gauntlet.
We should do it or else we will not win, we... DIE!!
Nooo!
What about scarlet surge
@TRAZHIRENah, we either have not win, or we died
it’s canon bro
2 more things about this level Colon didn't point out:
1. The alien that kills you in the ball part is actually using fading spikes and is slightly visible.
2. The bullets in the first UFO part are visible all the time and the boss doesn't spawn it.
I even realized 1
UUUUGH THIS HAPPENED WITH MY COMMENT TOO
@thetipston whar?
same@MaskedBattal
whar@helloimakebadcontent
4:44 "The level has a lot of flashing lights making it a potential nightmare for photosensitive players, so picking it for the most important gauntlet in the game is extremely inconsiderate on RobTop's end."
Ever heard of Electrodynamix?
Also GD in general is not very friendly to players with these problems because there are just so many levels like that (and like you said, also electrodynamix). There should be a warning that people need to put when publishing a level for it to get rated.
I think scarlet surge is a good level
@-datque-1410 Okay. It has flashing lights, though. Also, I was just quoting GD Cologne.
His name is Colon
@leonacurnewno its cologne
24:30 Probably it is:
Blue guy:
“AND WE WILL END THIS BATTLE-“
Red guy:
“NOOOO!”
5:02 just goes to show how far colon goes for good content. Being held hostage and being forced to play generation retro takes some serious guts. Hope you’re ok, Colon
Bro he's fine
@jelly545bro its Generation Retro
@jelly545 This might be a stretch but I really reallyyyy think that the comment is a joke
I was with Hutcheson in Parliament hill waiting area and I said Volcano and made girly sounds and laughs voices and cry and wrote Page 165 with 200 44 swiggly writes and 6° highs
Edit THANSK EVER FRO SO MANY LIKES EVER THANK YOU!!
@jelly545 r/woooosh
I have a feeling that “You are not win” was inspired by grammatically incorrect phrases from older games, e.g. the iconic “All your base are belong to us” from Zero Wing’s opening cutscene.
nice argument kroopa, you should back it up with a source
@flooku987 read the second half of the comment
@SaItogaming202 yes I did, it simply doesn't make sense because being myself latin-american I dont see whats wrong with that line
I mean, it would roll of the tongue much better something like "All your base now belongs to us" but my point still stands, it looks like an honest mistake rather than a reference. Greeting from Perú!!!
To me both of these theories are valid im just saying that there is in fact a source
so then the whole level is inspired lmao
We need this guy as a personal trainer. He could point out so many problems in the life editor.
Why he kinda sounds like royalpear lol 23:45
I do not hear
@Soupasoupgd youre deaf?? im so sorry
(j)
@clippy124I’m not I just don’t think it sounds like royalpear
@Soupasoupgd(j) means joke
@clippy124shiiiii mb
19:53 I feel like colon is slowly descending into insanity
he has already gone insane playing the first 5% of the level
He's gonna go kill the creator and Robtop for this.
16:34 -Jajajaja, you have not win. You... DIED!!
-NOO!!
The major issue is the quality control behind what levels are picked for the gauntlets. I remember the first Fire gauntlet level having a coin with the text “ViPriN iS tRigGerEd”. A blatant community inside joke in a level hand picked to be in an official piece of content shows how poorly gauntlets are managed as a whole.
Well atleast outer space has fun and interesting gameplay
What does that phrase mean anyway
Did viprin do anything wrong back then
But I like the feeling of gauntlet levels being made by randomUser07 instead of a professional artist
Theres a readon why Outerspace is my favorite level
@nut311aman2Thanks. the text makes a lot more sense to me now
That rainbow monster at the start was diabolical🤣🤣
21:06 that part litteraly killed me😂😂😂
RIP
I agree 💀
@GDColonthis is the end for... nooo!!!!
It also killed the decoy
@GDColon rest in peace hot soup
26:04 dude 😭
Part 2 noooooooooooooo
@DogApocalypse-vi8lcwe need a part 2🗿🗿🗿
@caseyhernandez7193 I’m remaking level 😈
this video is the equivalent of a shakespeare scholar critiquing a 7th grader's homework assignment on romeo and juliet for not being written with perfect grammar and understanding of the play.
Thank god this video exists because it’s hard to quantify my hate for this level
19:54 (VIOLENTLY SCREAMS INTO PILLOW)
lmao
The reason why the object count at the end is inaccurate is because since the text uses small pixel blocks, the creator looked at the object count before making the text and put the previous object count into the level, taking up a lot of objects. If he used normal text, he could just look at the object count, put it onto the text, and change the text by 1 to make it accurate.
do not destroy eggs
that is mean
@the_egg_ nom
That's a font in the game
6:21 You know, if you think about it, the green orb has technically existed since the game was first released, as creators could have easily created the mechanic by combining a yellow orb with a gravity portal, which was done very often in pre-2.0 levels. Therefore, Arathhsa could have started building the level in 1.9, but that first click would have initially been a yellow orb combined with a gravity portal, and then they changed it to a regular green orb after 2.0 came out.
Not to mention, I'm pretty sure you can see 1.9 color triggers (the ones specifically for color channels 1-4) in the beginning.
@TheChallengerB That's not too surprising since the level uses few colours anyway
My personal theory is that the designs were just copied from some random 1.9 level. Since the creator was also likely very young, I can imagine this to be possible. This also ties into the fact that custom objects were new in 2.0.
🤓
I see it but the majority of the level uses 2.0 items like the move trigger included in the entire bossfight, the text, the coins, the key, clouds, and the moving decorations like the swirl.
So with all these factors, it’s most likely a level in 2.0 unless it was a half made layout in 1.9 before 2.0
These subtitles are phenomenal.
I actually found a skip in that level. There is a well-known robot glitch where if you click right before you hit a jump pad, you’ll go much higher. If you do this in the transition to the wave, and do some precise jumps to get over some slopes, you’ll be underneath the wave part. If you keep going there is a green monster that the creator placed with this exact scenario in mind, but you can just jump over it! Keep going, there’s a random red alien on the floor around halfway but he won’t hurt you, wait some more, and you’ll be able to skip the entire level!
You’re welcome, Cologne.
You can also go back onto the level, because some of the slopes hitboxes extend just slightly too far. However, I'm pretty sure that's a RobTop issue & not an ArathhSA issue.
@HaxihoovisF*** no, i am not doing that.
@marshall8787-p8b I hate wave so I skip it
This isn't the worst Gauntlet level mostly because of the broken English dialogue. When I was beating this level I was laughing out loud the whole time reading
"JAJAJAJA!
YOU HAVE NOT WIN!
YOU...
DIED!!!"
agreed
Fr its funny
NOO!!!
NOO!!!
Haha, the broken English dialogue adds a special touch! 'JAJAJAJA! YOU HAVE NOT WIN! YOU... DIED!!!' - Classic. Laughter is the best way to survive challenging levels! 😂🎮
12:51 I would say: get geometricaly dominated
I'm remaking the level. And I put GDCologne's line: GET TROLLED!
You've... been.... trolled you've been trolled yes you've probably been told don't reply to this guy he's just trying to get a rise out of you yes it's true you respond and that's his cue to start trouble on the double while he strokes his manly stubble and yet you keep on trying mindlessly replying you've been trolled you've been trolled have a nice dayyyyy
I find it kinda funny how colon complains about the fading block at 7:52 when Dark Paradise did the exact same thing and he lets it pass
Dark paradise is fun tho
@HEXXDmusic true
Also, platinum adventure did the same thing too😅
First dark paradise is an easy and platinum adventure is fun
I try to understand what the lyrics in tidal wave are but I cant
@Sandwittxh Da ba doo
25:27 I love how he also made the tomb from that 3D object
I just noticed that what the hell?!!
I love how Colon just suddenly decided to become a game reviewer without any prior experience or knowledge at all.
@cac0da 😂
24:51 This is obviously a carefully considered choice that reveals that your player character has a split personality disorder
also minor side detail: terraria JUNGLE music
And you get to fight the Split personality disorder in Hexagon Force
I NEED to beat it too. I need that icon you get from beating the gauntlet.
26:50 bro has 100.000+ attemps on killbot
24:20 did u forget? They met in the ball part
Colon is the only person who will spend minutes complaining about one invisible half block and I'm here for it 😅
😂
Haha, right? The dedication to complaining about an invisible slab deserves its own award. 🏆😂 Colon, the unsung hero of geometry gripes! 🎮
@ThomasDeSwert this was written by ai wasn't it
marshlindsey2763 yes it is, 😆
@ThomasDeSwert i smell chatgpt...
Most mysterious level: I wonder…
11:20 I think this is the creator's attempt to make a "pixel art coin" but probably scrapped it. It disappears after you pass it apparently (like the key)
I thought it was a scrapped orb decoration
for a second i thought you were neiro
It disappeared because it's not linked to any group ID, but it's color is. It's you see, as he moves to the right, it disappears because Color ID 220 and 221 I think change to black, which is why we don't see it.
100th like :D
Here's my theory: The first boss is the intentional boss for the level and the second one is a virus who breached the level like the one they were talking about in the wave part (I think the virus's intention is making the level last longer)
This wouldn't make much sense, as your supposed "virus" boss appears at the start and welcomes you to the level, way before the "virus" was detected. Otherwise, a very captivating theory!
@finray8436 no, there are two different red aliens 21:55 so his theory fits, but backwards
This comment was made by second account of matpat
@YourImage_Friendhaha good joke
The "Eyeball" is probably a coin prototype, I think:) Because it is disapearing, meaning Arathhsa tried to make a coin pickup animation
Yes
My theory for the alien saying NO is that at the beginning he was expecting you to die
7:43 Colon: "Adds Extra Confusion" *Plays A Level Called Confusion*
Lol i just noticed that
3:31 “so just to recap, fire, ice, earth, water, lighting, and???
“gwreen”
is that a ninjago reference?
@NinjaShark0109yes
For me it’s Fire Aura for being so inconsistent with difficulty & super frustrating to grind out for less experienced players. It’s like throwing the first Deadlocked Wave in the middle of Jumper
I honestly really like Fire Aura because I enjoy fast paced wave sections, but I can agree that it's a little extreme for the lava gauntlet and it shouldn't have been rated a 7 star.
I agree with the comment above me, fire aura is a pretty good level, but the only problem is, is that the first cube should be in a five star, and there’s other parts that i wouldn’t complain if they were in a easy demon. Fire aura is really cool, but it doesn’t have balancing.
fire aura took me so long to beat the first time i beat it and i absolutely HATED it
but I went and rebeat it after completing 200+ demons and it feels like a totally normal 7 star now, a little unbalanced and maybe leaning towards 8 stars but i could easily sightread the ships and waves that gave me so much trouble originally. its one of the most skill based levels ive played, so maybe not a great fit for a gauntlet but it will definitely help you get better if youre not ready for demons yet
"NOOOOO!" That sounds horrendously funny
I have a theory about the aliens using the 3d blocks. It's that whoever made the level couldn't make the art themselves, so they copied a level with the aliens in it and used custom objects to put it in their level.
The "scary eyeball thing" is most probably just an abandoned custom art for the coin, which explains it's disappearance after you go past it. And it's a pretty decent thing to cling on to, just like Devil Vortex saws, they were styled just for Devil Vortex and were used in the actual level, but the creator forgot about deleting them afterwards. I think this comment is too long.
thats what i thought
Great observation! The 'scary eyeball thing' might indeed be an abandoned custom art for the coin. Those leftover details like Devil Vortex saws add a unique charm. Short and sweet insights! 🎮👀
I thought that too!
@RomanianMapper12 For your information, my comment was 67 words long, meaning that no matter how fast you read, it still counts as long. Even though, glad to hear that!
I just realized that it's actually a really good thing to cling onto, because the level feels like an unfinished preview, because it (the texture) wasn't even deleted or moved in the right place, and there were probably more of such unfinished assets that weren't deleted
16:29 "Jajajaja, you have not win!" Is the weirdest thing I've heard😭
Only GD Colon can come up with so much interesting lore for a singular Geometry Dash level
14:30 he went insane by being in this level for all eternity
15:32 way funnier than it should have been lmao
Eh, I would give it 3.5 stars cant see out the window :/
Imagine calling an uber and they come with a space invaders alien
@TypicalPixels16 i would give it an 1 star, uncomfortable, very hot and driver is very mean
I NEED A RIDE
5:02 that 1 got me😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
7:42 the level itself is called confusion
Seeing colon make a 27 minute video to shit on one singular level is beautiful
One thing I really appreciate about Gen Retro being in the gauntlets is that there's no chance in hell it would've gotten so popular otherwise. Even if the execution is pretty bad, I'm really glad to see people talking about how genuinely creative and interesting it is for a starting creator. This level has ideas and a "story" (even if simple) and creative applications of the retro theme (mainly by incorporating it into the gameplay). And as frustrating as it might be to play, it puts creativity over quality, which is something that starting creators should learn is completely okay. During an era where super high quality levels are everywhere and people are always comparing their works to better levels and losing motivation through that, Gen Retro is proof that a level can still offer so much even if it's crudely made, and those are the kinds of levels that creators should be comparing their own levels to: not to compare quality, but for pure inspiration. So, honestly, I'm really happy this level is in the gauntlet for that reason.
The Generation Retro segment was my favourite part of your gauntlet video.
But my levels look worse than generation retro what am i supposed to do then!
2 minutes of blue alien
Clap clap clap I agree
I have a theory about the aliens and the 3d tiles:
Since generation retro was the first level of its style in 2.0, I think that the creator copypasted the alien from all the 1.9 levels that used the 3d tiles.
That loud 'SHUT UP' destroyed my eardrums.

Probably a really unpopular opinion but Generation Retro is one of my favorite levels that’s been put into a gauntlet; however, I’m in the same boat of the “why is this even in a gauntlet”. The level has so much more character and charm then the majority of levels in the gauntlets and I found the gameplay to be really fun! Yeah there’s a couple of iffy parts but compared to other gauntlet levels it’s not bad at all. Or even compared to other levels in the game for that matter. This is extremely biased as Generation Retro was one of the few gauntlet levels I first beat back in the day on an Amazon Kindle with less than 20 attempts (at the time Fire Aura for example took like 170). Really good level, with pretty readable gameplay for its release imo.
I AGREE!! I poke a lot of fun at the level but I also really adore the unique theming of it (even if it's poorly done), it's just the gauntlet that ruins it for me (and everyone)
I’m getting mixed signals
im also getting mixed signals
I am receiving mixed signals too
It is really just 2.0 level after all. If this was made in 2.1, then it wouldn't be rated ig.
I once thought the last part in explosion processing was a memory part, turns out it wasn't :v

"anyways this takes us to "level final""
So I just played through generation retro (traumatising, i know) after watching and the biggest thing that threw me off was actually the blue pad at the start of the ball part. I kept tapping to make the first input, which made me immediately launch off of the first platform and into the spikes. Also it's more than possible to skip the wave portal and enter the wave part as the robot.
I have a theory that the red alien secretly has a crush on your icon, which is why he welcomes you at first. He gets mad later and says no because he feels bad that you have to play the level. He tries to troll you to test your sense of humor on the fake ball part, and for the final boss fight, he sends his brother at the start to meet you. You then kill his brother, and the red alien gets mad and tries to kill you
This deserves a Noble Prize
I was on geode and when I had the jukebox mod I stumbled on two free demon levels on accident
11:22 i think it was the original coin sprite
1:49 literally my mom converting a 2 minute story into a "back when dinosaurs disappeared"
imagine how the person who created the level at the age of 12 feels now.
Attacked freely by this video !
The person being mature comes with a cost
Cringing your old self
If you think this level is bad, then clearly you've not seen Empyrean. The last level of the magic gauntlet.
Also Crystal Essence. And HellGate Menace.
And Sidestep. Notice a theme here?

*GD Colon:* An Easy 2 Star Level that suddenly turns into an Extreme at the very end is unfair.
*Basically every "Full Version" of a RobTop official level:* _intense sweating_
Facts bro
Fingerdash full!
*Turns into tidal wave*

pretty sure that he once "fixed" an easy level and it ended with a 1-block tall straight fly
very fair
RobTop Archiver: Nah make it all extreme demons lmao

Colon: "misses a single jump"
also colon:"start talking about extreme memory demons"
@dgfhjkdfsg after playing that level i can confirm lol
In the UFO part, the evil alien guy's laser is visible before he shows up
