14:28 "The nice part about Bloodbath being a 1.9 level is that it's very easy to make out the gameplay" This is like, the main reason I fell out with this game after 2.0 came out. Everyone became absolutely obsessed with out-doing each other with flashy visuals and effects, so much that level design suffered greatly, on top of moving object abuse making levels nigh impossible to sightread. 1.9 and 2.0 hardly feel like the same game in my mind.
AAAAAARGH FINALLY SOMEONE WHO SHARES MY OPINION. i badly wanna beat the gauntlets but theyre too fucking flashy and decorated and i cant tell whats going on :(
On god. And I'm gonna say with 100% certainty that sightreading's gonna be dead post-2.2. It's all memory from here (even though old Insane/Demon levels rely on memory, at least you can still tell what's going on in them). This is why I strongly support creators putting jump indicators in any level below medium demon, since easy stuff are supposed to be accessible for most newcomers (excluding people with epilepsy or eye problems)
Yup, I agree. They're pretty much different games. When I want to have fun, I go back to pre-2.0 levels because they feel like the last levels to still follow some rules.
5:15 as someone who had the experience of beating The Nightmare, I can confidently say that no, the nightmare doesn't set a terrible impression for demon levels. It shows demon levels as more of a challenge than something for the top 0.01%. New players coming along and seeing bloodbath is much less likely to result in a group of new players open to harder levels, than new players coming along and seeing the Nightmare.
First of all, the difficulty of a demon should stay consistent. The nightmare is easier than Clutterfunk. When someone has 2 demons, immediately you think "Are they actually good enough to beat Clubstep, or is it just the Nightmare and the Lightning Road?" It's not the difference between The Nightmare and Bloodbath, it's the difference between The Nightmare and almost any other demon. And that wasn't even the main gripe Colon had with it. His main point was that the gameplay sucks, which I mostly agree with. I think he's overexaggerating how bad the design is (it's not great, not terrible) but I agree that the gameplay isn't good.
Every time I check someone's profile who has won 1-2 demons, I can guarantee you it's either The Nightmare or The Lightning Road. That makes it a terrible impression for demons, especially for online levels, imo.
@@brokenbacon8233 I agree that it does set a slightly worse perceived worthiness of having beaten demon levels (which is really just a complicated way of saying that bragging about having beaten a demon level is meaningless), but the video was talking almost exclusively about the playing perspective, and in that aspect, it's pretty okay.
If only there was a demon difficulty system to differentiate the difficulty of The Nightmare and Bloodbath, that is displayed right on the level page of demon levels for new players to see, and has The Nightmare and Bloodbath on complete opposite ends of the scale
Colon has to be the greatest impossible game player of all time, he can beat levels without his keyboard plugged in, with a blindfold on, and when it's actually his little brother playing
In the ball parts , you just go up and down. In the ship parts ,you just go up and down. In the cube parts you just jump and fall without much else going on. Isn't that the description of GD?
Tbf, stuff more than that exists ofc. For example; You go up and down, tap this and then this, beat bloodbath but squeezed in a 10 second mark, and finally beat retray
@@WaterBallOSCwell, you're exaggerating (can we like, not get rid of the meaning of words or phrases that mean you're not exaggerating please those are REALLY important)
The thing with "The Nightmare" is it works as a gateway for more confidence if its your first demon. I wasnt the best at geometry dash but when I first beat the nightmare I got really motivated to improve and felt better in my skill cause the level is rated demon.
I think that The Nightmare holds a special place in many people’s hearts. For many (including myself), it was the very first demon they ever beat. We all know it sucks (I mean, just look at it). But for me at least, it marks a turning point in my experience with the game.
Great video! Extremely high quality, as always. However, I think that there's another problem with Acid Factory you didn't talk about, which is the Silver Coin placement. As a colorblind person it was EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to spot them, even at full brightness and LDM; they are just hidden by shadows and I could just not distinguish them from the background.
my only real problem with dark paradise is that I always mistake those spinny things in the ship section for sawblades, and then end up killing myself trying to avoid them.
I’m gonna be straight. A lot of the level decoration 2.1 and beyond is kinda lame. Pre 2.1 had a lot of simpler level designs but I feel like they were more creative. A lot of levels post 2.1 are just a lot of flashy lights and overly complicated designs.
14:08 for those who dont know, heres a full story 😊: It All Started When Ggboy made cataclysm and everyone thought it was the hardest level in the game, until 3 players verified it, notably, Cyclic, Giron David, and of course, Riot. In that order they all beat cataclysm with cyclic being the first to "Beat" it, after beating cataclysm, riot attempted icdx and he also beat it. Riot went on to make bloodbath. shortly after bloodbath was verified. Cyclic Made Sonic Wave, Blood Bath was made to one up Cataclysm, In the same way, Sonic wave was made to one up Bloodbath. Sonic Wave got a number of updates, 1st Update made the level a brighter blue, 2nd Update Buffed It And Made The Blues Darker, But In The 3rd Update, All Of Sonic Wave Was Deleted and Turned into a level full of random blocks and spikes. And then one day, Riot got a chat in his skype, It Was From Cyclic. He Revealed How All His Streams Were Prerecorded and Spliced. He Also revealed how he Hacked cataclysm to verify it and sonic wave was also hacked to verify😢. After This Shocking Revelation, 3 Players went on to beat the legendary sonic wave, Mefewe, Sunix And of course, Riot. Sunix Later went on to beat sonic wave, and also this means that giron david was the first to beat cataclysm after revealing that cyclic cheated it, imagine thinking you got 2nd place in the hardest level of the game, but later to find out that you were actually first, i imagine it must have a very bittersweet taste to it. if anyone actually reads this full story, you are an absolute King👑
12:54 yeah it's crazy how people can do that like how my friend beats the golden on 144hz the forgets to record it then beats it AGAIN 3 days later it's already crazy how he beat it once but twice in just a few days after is just insane and I don't know how someone could even beat it once it's just crazy how dedicated and talented people are at this game
The Nightmare is so popular because it's the first weekly, hence it's the weekly that appears when you have never beat that one or never clicked the X.
The idea of dividing popular levels in version/week/ year is awesome Rob should add a feature in 2.2 to organize the most famous levels in a specific year or month and etc
Yessss I LOVE Dark Paradise. It's coins are smart, the deco is epic and forever will be and the song is even more epic. It's just great. But there's that pink speed portal at the end
did you notice in every geometry dash update trailer they use the icon that is unlocked when you complete the level shown in the video this happened for the fingerdash and dead locked update and many more!
Promises was the first level I ever beat. I remember at one point it was very popular on Geometry Dash World. To this day, I go back to it and just play through for the fun. Plus, Promises by Kabuki is just a great song for a level.
I remember playing this back since late 2013 (the year it was released) and seeing how simple level design became something beautiful (somewhat authentic) and was generally just fun to play, it was a blast growing up with this game it was quite fun.
7:17 The visuals of ReTraY was heavily inspired by an older level, Gigabyte. Gigabyte shall stay the original. I’m suprised you havent mentioned that ReTraY copied Gigabyte in this video. Anyway, keep the good work up😄
I remember playing a 2* level that was fully auto, just with one easy jump in 1.5 minutes 2:52 not sure whether it's a pun or something, but that little joke on Terraria's Fire Gauntlet accessory really made me smile a bit because Terraria doesn't get enough recognition. Sure, if you show the game to someone they will say "oh that's terraria", but not because the game is played a lot, but because it's considered a "shameless Minecraft 2d rip-off"
Which is funny because geometry dash (at least the 1.0 version) was more of a shameless ripoff of The Impossible Game than Terraria was of Minecraft. Also, I remember Terraria had a big popularity spike at the beginning, which is probably why everyone knows it, and also why people think it’s a Minecraft ripoff. They probably played it a bit during the popularity spike, then they forgot the gameplay but not the style. I actually forgot the gameplay of most of the games when I was 5, but not the style.
No, this isn't 2011 when Terraria was an obscure new game that barely anyone knew about. The "Terraria is a ripoff of Minecraft" thing ended in 2015. This game has sold 30 million copies and you aren't any kind of "super obscure indie game fan"
3:57 Level Easy is NOT a 1.0 Level. It is most likely in 1.2/1.3. This is because the ID is larger than (1.2 lvl example) Demon Park and it is in 1.2. So therefore it is During or After 1.2
I love how I'm so familiar with Promises (especially the last coin) The muscle memory is in graved to my arm that if I ever miss it, I'd have to face a 12 year sentence
3:51 it was made in 1.2 the first guaranteed 1.1 level is id 2340 because it has mirror portals, and one of the first 1.2 levels was demon park, since it had the ball gamemode (Id 10109 iirc)
The “the nightmare” level in the thumbnail caught me off guard, when the text was covering the orb, i thought there wasn’t an orb and i immediately said: “IMPOSSIBLE!”
I actually really like the nightmare minus the pointless portal and ring spam as decoration. It’s a nice intro to the harder levels in the game and it actually plays really well imo
they could add a "filter" in the most downloaded and the most liked. the "filter" could allow players to choose from "today", "this week", "this month", "this year", or "forever".
8:05 I remember playing this level in geometry dash world 4 or 5 years ago, I even think that it was one of the first levels that appeared on the featured list for many time
I know I’m late but I just wanted to let Colin know that this video is amazingly crafted. All of the jokes landed and I truly enjoyed the whole thing! Keep it up!
I think of HOW, the 3d level. I also think of Hyphen, because of the following orb mechanic. I believe it was made by this creator himself, but that's not why I put it there. I really like how the orbs follow you around and place themselves, severely reducing object count.
promises was the very first level in gd world back in the day, as well as the very first online level i ever played. nostalgia always hits me so hard with that one, specially given the song. never not smiling when hearing about it :,)
@@TULLIS-sl9tj Well, but why do they always use real ones? Can't they put made up symbols? And Bloodbath still had a hell decoration and it didn't needed any pentagram or upsidedown cross to represent it. (I'm Catholic also)
@@P3ndejosG4ng Bloodbath doesn't have satanic symbols in it's deco, and there's something called confession, IDK if you ever heard of that (I know it's a joke, just for people who didn't get it, or are inmune to sarcasm)
I beat Bloodbath back last year. It was my first extreme and my dream to accomplish in this game. Still hard to believe that I’ve done it. Love this game
I like the nightmare honestly, also pretty sure that in 1.7 you only had 1 color channel + the gray blocks, the only other colored objects are player color objects, so saying it uses colors incorrectly is just invalid. The invisible blocks were used in a creative way in the level, compared to how they're usually used Yes the ship parts, even though repetitive, is something you don't really see in other levels. Yes the nightmare is very repetitive in general "It constantly switches designs throughout the level" If it didn't you'd say the decoration is repetitive or that there's little variety.
Oh I’m not sure if this is what you meant but if you meant when it goes from 28 to 27, then yes that is a bug because for some reason going through a mirror portal makes you go slightly backwards
2:19 I feel this all too well, just look up my level Newbiedash and try it and tell me how the hell it's supposed to be a 3*, literally even my mom beat it.
These are the most downloaded levels now: 1. Outerspace 2. The nightmare 3. Bloodbath 4. Acid factory 5. Promises 6. Amplification 7. The lightning road 8. Nine circles 9. Chambers 10. Flappy hexagon

Sure, if you show the game to someone they will say "oh that's terraria", but not because the game is played a lot, but because it's considered a "shameless Minecraft 2d rip-off"
Which is funny because geometry dash (at least the 1.0 version) was more of a shameless ripoff of The Impossible Game than Terraria was of Minecraft.
Also, I remember Terraria had a big popularity spike at the beginning, which is probably why everyone knows it, and also why people think it’s a Minecraft ripoff. They probably played it a bit during the popularity spike, then they forgot the gameplay but not the style.
I actually forgot the gameplay of most of the games when I was 5, but not the style.
YESSSS!!!!!!!
Tbh i love Terraria more than Minecraft
I remember that level too!!
No, this isn't 2011 when Terraria was an obscure new game that barely anyone knew about. The "Terraria is a ripoff of Minecraft" thing ended in 2015. This game has sold 30 million copies and you aren't any kind of "super obscure indie game fan"
3:57 Level Easy is NOT a 1.0 Level. It is most likely in 1.2/1.3. This is because the ID is larger than (1.2 lvl example) Demon Park and it is in 1.2. So therefore it is During or After 1.2
🤓
Well he didn't know lmao
its 1.6 level
Maybe it was made with the 1.0 editor as back than you weren’t forced to use newer versions of gd they do it now to prevent expliots
Actually, maybe it was made on 1.0 but then it was forgotten until 1.1/1.2.
I love how I'm so familiar with Promises (especially the last coin)
The muscle memory is in graved to my arm that if I ever miss it, I'd have to face a 12 year sentence
Current list (accurate as of July 2023)
1. OuterSpace (almost 83 million)
2. Sonar (almost 80 million)
3. The Nightmare (almost 78 million)
4. ReTraY (73 million)
5. Level Easy (70.5 million)
6. Bloodbath (almost 64 million)
7. Dark Paradise (nearly 59 million)
8. Acid Factory (almost 56 million)
9. Dreamland (almost 55 million)
10. Promises (52.5 million)
For me Promises was a good beginner level back when I first got into the game with GD World, since it was one of the only 2* levels available there
Promises: can i stay here?
Payload: Get out of here!
16:24, why did I make "worlds hardest jump" like man, that shit went viral
I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT WAS YOU OMG
Pro
3:51
it was made in 1.2
the first guaranteed 1.1 level is id 2340 because it has mirror portals, and one of the first 1.2 levels was demon park, since it had the ball gamemode (Id 10109 iirc)
The “the nightmare” level in the thumbnail caught me off guard, when the text was covering the orb, i thought there wasn’t an orb and i immediately said: “IMPOSSIBLE!”
I actually really like the nightmare minus the pointless portal and ring spam as decoration. It’s a nice intro to the harder levels in the game and it actually plays really well imo
the lightning road is the one with the portal and ring spam, not the nightmare
6:15 the video cut off right here and put an ad right when he was saying “super,” making it just say “soup” and gave me a Panera soup ad
BRO THAT HAPPENED TO ME TOO BUT KINDER

Easily one of my favourites out of your videos. Would love to see one for platformers!
they could add a "filter" in the most downloaded and the most liked. the "filter" could allow players to choose from "today", "this week", "this month", "this year", or "forever".

11:42 we use low brightness cuz it makes the phone dont go low charge
True cus we don't/can't charge it while playing.
Yes.
@@janetkhee4735wdym I always play while charging
No, I use it because it's too bright for me if I set the brightness higher
8:05 I remember playing this level in geometry dash world 4 or 5 years ago, I even think that it was one of the first levels that appeared on the featured list for many time
When the world needed him, he came back.
"he" refers to my motivation
Yea
@@GDColon lol
"He" was gone for a month. That's not that long.
Second channel cough cough
7:38 Promises and acid factory blow up by geometry dash world, you right, i remember to play it
Same i remember playing these 2 levels on the old gd world featured tab
I know I’m late but I just wanted to let Colin know that this video is amazingly crafted. All of the jokes landed and I truly enjoyed the whole thing! Keep it up!
Colon: Some of them are pretty good, some of them are The Nightmare
Jax: well I just thought it would be a challenge :(
Its Always a good Day when GD Colon Uploads a Video
Like really, His videos are so good! :D
oh no cringe comments
not a cringe comment, but rather a wholesome one!
I love how when talking about levels that revolutionized GD٫ he was humble enough to not mention The World Machine
as someone who's played since 1.7, I appreciate the references
8:05 Promises used to be in GD World but I think it got removed when the game got updated
I think of HOW, the 3d level. I also think of Hyphen, because of the following orb mechanic. I believe it was made by this creator himself, but that's not why I put it there. I really like how the orbs follow you around and place themselves, severely reducing object count.

bruh i got a geometry dash ad on a geometry dash video with the geometry dash app running in the background
You're the chosen one
I am the second coming
Who gets this unrelated reference to a stick figure
promises was the very first level in gd world back in the day, as well as the very first online level i ever played. nostalgia always hits me so hard with that one, specially given the song. never not smiling when hearing about it :,)
Beast mode: what am i doing with my life..
Payload: I will be chosen!
@@backtomakingvideos he means online level
I love you GD Colon, your content is great! And, streaming in the middle of the night? Even more great!
First of all its not a stream, its a premiere. Amd it might be like the morning or afternoon for him.
I remember Acid Factory. I love that it uses Frantic Factory’s theme from Donkey Kong 64.
Random fun fact: you don’t get access to the chaos gauntlet until you talk to the demon in the basement of what ever that vault keepers name is
Plot twist: At 2:30 he has a wireless keyboard
No a bot
01:46 moment I realized sonar has more downloads than population in country where I live
I Just Noticed That After Reading Your Comment.
@@SubscriberStatsWhat happened to your capitalisation??
@@mralgorithmscubingI Dont Know Go Figure It Out
The thing I like about Bloodbath is that it's the only Extreme Demon back in the day with a hell theme without s4t4nic symbols in it's deco
why does it matter? first of all bloodbath is still a hell level... so... and second off satanic symbols fit perfectly in... hell...?
@@TULLIS-sl9tj Well, but why do they always use real ones? Can't they put made up symbols? And Bloodbath still had a hell decoration and it didn't needed any pentagram or upsidedown cross to represent it. (I'm Catholic also)
@@VoidPaul97 why do u care? It's a hell theme man, that's the point. why would they put made up symbols? I'm catholic aswell, btw
@@VoidPaul97 youre going to hell, you watched a bloodbath Gameplay, its a big no-no
@@P3ndejosG4ng Bloodbath doesn't have satanic symbols in it's deco, and there's something called confession, IDK if you ever heard of that (I know it's a joke, just for people who didn't get it, or are inmune to sarcasm)
8:28 why jumpscare me, Gd colon 😢
I beat Bloodbath back last year. It was my first extreme and my dream to accomplish in this game. Still hard to believe that I’ve done it. Love this game
I kept dying at 10:20 where the UFO gets pushed up and down and had no clue why, super frustrating
might be a bug with your screen's refresh rate
@@chloramine_gas4842 it also happened to me but there are tutorials on yt how to avoid that
actually there are hidden slopes in there so you slide through
@@PlatoonTheCoolMarbleThat doesn't really help with what he said does it
240hz bug
3:00 it’s good but it’s garbage at the same time because he said so
*of course*
Fun fact: this video is the sole reason I found npesta, so thanks!
I like the nightmare honestly, also pretty sure that in 1.7 you only had 1 color channel + the gray blocks, the only other colored objects are player color objects, so saying it uses colors incorrectly is just invalid. The invisible blocks were used in a creative way in the level, compared to how they're usually used
Yes the ship parts, even though repetitive, is something you don't really see in other levels. Yes the nightmare is very repetitive in general
"It constantly switches designs throughout the level"
If it didn't you'd say the decoration is repetitive or that there's little variety.
This video gives me Scott the Woz vibes. I love how GD Colon always does something different in videos.
0:26 THATS MY LEVEL AFTERTHOUGHT RIGHT THERE OMG
Lucky
Congrats
fren :>
“Some of them are pretty good, some of them are the nightmare” caught me lackin
In my eyes, the map packs are a museum of old levels and some other random levels.
If this guy lost it over the nightmare I don’t wanna see him look at the lightning road…
9:57 I genuinely cannot tell if that was intentional or not
not sure what you're referring to so i guess it's not intentional 😔
@@GDColon he’s referring to the song
@@GDColon it’s the outro song
@@DaFrenchie_bro that's the levels song💀
@@DaFrenchie_that is the level song
Man, I just love the fact that you play rhythm doctor. The outro on this video was amazing.
5:33 what can you go backwards or something
thats what i was thinking
MIRROR
@@princenot bruh that just reverses the screen it dosent make you go backwards
Oh I’m not sure if this is what you meant but if you meant when it goes from 28 to 27, then yes that is a bug because for some reason going through a mirror portal makes you go slightly backwards
This is the straight up best comment I've ever seen
11:52 I remember me doing that back then lmao
P.S. I am talking only about the collectable, not the coin theory
What does the LDM mean? English is not my native language and I am curious
