This sort of thing happens with a lot of games, when you're making a game it's SO easy to add smth that you think will take you only a day or 2, but it *always* takes longer than you think, whether its due to bugs, balancing, or just it being difficult to implement. In a lot of these cases, games end up abandoned or release as a buggy mess so I'm grateful that Robtop managed to fix (most) major bugs and get the update out, even if it took so long.

lmao facts, this whole era of youtube where these youtubers try to appeal to young kids by having something pop up at every frame, it’s just so obnoxious, like maybe i’m just old but it’s so unbearable 😭
i cant believe you have such a low ammount of subscribers, i hope this video gives your subscriber and fan count the justice it deserves. seriously not sugarcoating here - the editing, details, information provided, all in a fun little youtube video.. crazy
FreshLakeWater’s videos may seem boring for most people But when you watch them, you can’t get enough Edit: I didn’t mean to start WW3 in the replies ;-;
the video is fast paced and stuff just pops up on the screen every 1 sec. it messes with your brain and makes it hard to stop watching. i don't do this stuff because i don't want to force people to watch my videos.
• Pretty sure 2.2 wasn’t accidentally leaked, Rob just used the latest build as a base to update the spinoffs and didn’t care • Most of the icons weren’t included in the GD Lite “leak”. None of the cubes were, which was likely intentional • Never saw anyone complain that Explorers is unsynced, played it myself and it’s great • iOS 17 wasn’t the only version to break GD, iOS 15 did too (for some reason 16 worked) • RobTop never “lied” about the release date
A lot of people did indeed complan about explorers after the sneak peek, especially on discord and twitter, and robtop lied about the release date when he said it would be october 2023
No 2.2 was accidentally leaked. Lite and Meltdown were removed cause of TOS breaks. Rob removed most of the 2.2 stuff (he forgot some of it) and uploaded it.
14:21 funny how thats when the update came out. google says it released on dec 20th which is wednesday but it came out a day before at night and i was one of the first people to play it
W Video As Always Lake! Thanks again for letting me tag along on the project, this was a BANGER :) HUGE Shoutouts to Stallion GD & KingSammelot for Letting Me Use their Clips in the Video! 💪🔥
i love how RobTop's single message waked up everybody in a second, i swear, when that message dropped, gd colon(gne) was literally streaming, i miss those times
5:20 the swingcopter cube bug is still in 2.2, its only in practice mode and mini gamemode i think. I found that in the same DAPixelhero's level on gdps nor the original server. Yeah, robtop definitely still needs to fix that
In this video, I talked about Geometry Dash 2.2 - the infamous update that took seven years (7!!) to release. Let's hope Geometry Dash 2.11 or Geometry Dash 2.3 don't take as long... bro 2.11 already happened
@@ALiven20006rounding math rules below 4 round down 5 and up round up 6.9 9 is above 5 we make all decimals a zero and add a number to the next number aka the full number in this case so 6.9 becomes 7 so 7 years mathematically
Bro I was expecting this to be one of those click bait lpw quality gd videos. But man, this was a fantastic, comprehensive, actually accurate, and thoroughly entertaining video!
Maybe because he had to make the icon trail as well as the glow work for over 700 brand new icons, design blocks for a WHOLE NEW TAB in the editor with about as many pages as the block tab, add a platformer mode, a new orb, the ability to make any of the orbs reverse you, make sure that the arrow trigger didn't break the game, 5 new levels, 2 new game modes, lists, like 6 new shard types, a flipping battle pass, the best flipping icon in the game ship 150, realistic* ice physics, grip slopes, gravity triggers, a new customizable particle block, 2 NEW SHOPS, A BRAND NEW CURRENCY AND A NEW COLLECTABLE, and make sure none of that broke the game, wow! I wonder why it took so long! It's a mystery
Okay, I edit some things and I find it super hard work, your video is 101% well edited, I imagine you put a lot of love into it while editing, brilliant!
if you're in a hurry: if you played gd since the start of 2.1 or before 2.1 and kept track of what robtop was doing on 2.2 you would know why it took 7 years
"alright i just finished creating dash" "maybe i should add a platformer mode that'll take a few years" "i'll create a tower featuring platformer mode, why not?" "a versus mode while i'm at it" ...and 22222222.2 more ideas.
The thing is, even though the wait was very annoying for those who stuck around since 2.0 or before, it allowed 2.1 to kind of simmer in the pot, we made absolutely amazing things from 2020 onward.
It def felt a bit goofy as someone who hasn't played GD since 2014, coming back and seeing like 2 new levels (Fingerdash and Dash) and that's about it.I remember a shit ton of levels coming out back when I played, like Electroman, Clubstep, Hexagon Force etc
I still remember the absolute hype I felt when i found out 2.2 came out. I went on the app store to check as a joke and it had been out for only 2 hours, I had never felt such joy
I like how I was 100% disconnected with the GD community for like 4-5 years and one day, three days before the update, I decided to start playing again. I hate the save servers. thank God I always root my phones so I just have a bash script to transfer progress between my pc and phone
13:05 my ipad is still on ios 16 mainly because of this, there was the same problem with ios 15 resulting in deleting my original game data. i basically had to start over.
The update was sent to the Appstore on the 18th december last year. So basicslly the update dropped on the 18th which was my birthday. There couldn't be a better present
