If you're reading this, did I... change the course of history? It's too much to think about 
Gaming
imagine robtop responding to this video with "disagree" and reverts it back
power trip 2nd coin bug moment
ultimate trolling
Lmao
We do a little trolling.
That would be cruel
Fun Fact: This is the first time rob has fixed a coin since the stereo madness nerf so this is actually pretty revolutionary!
he nerfed it
please tell me someone made a video called Stereo Madness' Coin Problem back in 1.8
@GDColon one more reason to make a time machine
I mean yes but he did that on his own
@GDColon I shouldve made it
9:49
"Dad, why is my sister named Rose?"
"Because your mom loves roses"
"Thanks, Dad"
"No problem, That one spot in Power Trip where you can fall and skip the rest of the level"
user-xz2rm6jn6t t by Spu7nix
user-xz2rm6jn6tthe dad loves that one spot in power trip where you can fall and skip the rest of the level so he named his son "that one spot where you can fall and skip the rest of the level"
I don't get it
now i get it, mr @LORDMM.
i get it lol
Is anyone else concerned that RobTop gets 3 hours of sleep a night
Me
Yes
don’t care
Bro that’s average game designer sleep
Me ✋️
5:16 "What's he gonna do? Move it to the lower part?"
Robtop after seeing this: *actually moves it to the lower part*
and make it a free coin
wouldn’t be surprised LMAO
It could work if he puts it *really* close to the lava
@m_affiliates no
@player3024 yes
12:09 I love how he says "If there's ever something in a game that you think is objectively bad..." as he shows the map packs on screen
...and the "83 coins" thing...
Haha, Map Packs go WHEEEEEEEEEE...EEE!
To be fair, Rob doesn’t like them either. They’re just a legacy thing that are awkward to get rid of
those are kinda garbage
UFO Pack….
I really like how RobTop is literally KNOWN for being almost completely silent, and when he FINALLY speaks up, it's about things that he could have fixed and made his game better, and he ACTUALLY DID IT! Truly amazing work RobTop!!
He’s also very humble
I dont play minecraft i play кокмок
@Dexzler same but the 1.0 version of it
Undertale profile, mc username and a gd player. Amazing
Yeah, it is safe to say Colon SAVED 2.2 coins. Thank god he decided to post the video anyway.
For the 3rd coin in power trip, I have an idea. After clicking 4 times, it shows the coin, but the coin is moved back so it looks like you're chasing it. So the coin will be on the end of the level, meaning using the skip won't give you the third coin.
That would make it really distracting and would make it hard to focus on the actual gameplay
Yes
@wormyworms2774 Not really
Just remove the skip instead of making the 3rd coin hell to collect
You're just making it worse, but good idea
Craig back at it again influencing the course of GD history
Ayooo first reply
2nd
YOOO NORCDA
Agreed lol
Bro you're in the youtube video at 8:58
I’m so happy that Rob listens to his community! Having a dev that interacts with his game’s player base really make the game feel alive.
Also, huge congrats on 1 million views on the last upload, that’s insane
*happy that RUB listens
@certified_crab RobTop*
@folddyy Rubrub is RobTop. Correction failed.
Ninjakiwi moment
@unfairdev8197 Well i didn't know about that before so thank you for telling me
colon also removed the random black line inside the circle from the thumbnail, rest in peace black line... many may have not noticed your legacy, but you will be a legend
I love your vids
NOOOO SOMEONE NOTICED
he also removed the thumbnail
i screenshotted all of the variants from the old thumbnail. i got all the proofs!!
woah woah woah what r u doing here
i love how the chart says that a LOT of people left when they saw you.... as a fox.
@thegigglelulz A lot of people left, a lot of people came even harder.
Perfectly balanced.
@DexuzWorst worded comment of the century
@Dexuzbest worded comment of history
@anothergamingchannel8729
The duality of man
@Dexuzperfectly balanced indeed, but the only unbalanced is ur comment
I'm going to be honest, Colon is actually one of the few RUclipsrs that cares about the actual community and expresses genuine concern for anything at all. You are genuinely a great human being :D
Edit: bruh when did this get 1k likes
yes
but still a furry 😡😡😡
@zafarsyed5193 who cares hes tired of making bad designs
@zafarsyed5193 yes my mum said no furrys or fairy’s too
It was a joke guys 💀💀💀
Another very small thing about Power Trip 3 that I like is that you have to jump to reach it, so it isn't completely free after turning the text green
Like with Prass Sturt 2
I did this once actually. Lol
about about
@mr.jitterspam9552 prass sturt is my favorite level
@mr.jitterspam9552 my favorite level *prass sturt 2*
its pretty cool how rub listens to his community - because of that we get amazing qol updates like this that really make the game more enjoyable.
Frfr
It shows how the community can be a little disrespectful about 2.2
Yeah
Unlike minecraft
NOBODY LIKE THE COMMENT.
It's at 69 likes.
Edit: Nevermind people suck.
“send him a mail”
Robtop has over 400,000 unread mails
This is legendary. Just one video changed 8 of the 9 coins in a spin-off game. This shows there are devs that actually listen to their community.
I didn't even notice the coins were that bad. But when you pointed out, I agreed. RobTop is a W dev for fixing this
“If there’s ever something in the game that you think is objectively bad” *continues to scroll down map packs*
Everyone can agree with that
Remove em rob do it
@alephnull858 He made it pretty clear he is not going to remove em in the Reddit AMA, as he thinks it's a good training for the new player to get used to the horrible gameplay of harder levels later down the line
@sohumchatterjee9 He's got a point
Unpopular opinion: Map packs aren't that bad it's just a few bad levels and it's more of a museum than an actual thing
“I still think clicking is a weird idea” Dash coin 3 :sideeye:
I love serious tone videos with some irony underlying. Never really thought GD could take into that kind of direction, then... shocker! Colon did it. I've been a fan for a while and this was truly a journey. Seeing him grow and be a part of it! Best wishes, buddy.
@InstagramUser2 no
@InstagramUser2 This ratio is better than your content
Yeah but colon talking in a serious way is kinda not really appealing to me as he's mostly known for his humour
0:01 it got cold, stupid cold.
Let me oversimplify that
Lol
so glad i got this reference
12:02 hgvuvhtċ helicopters
That's funny
For the last coin in Power Trip, it would also help if the text said something like “Warm up!” so some players click a bunch in response and get the coin
That doesnt help at all
@WilliamJerose98989lol
That text object actually changes text every time since it uses the random trigger to show off that randomize feature.
my idea was to put a spike there, so youre forced to jump and see the text lit up
Yeah that’s cool
4:07. I love him just taping it on his wall (if that was actually him which i bet it is. That’s HYSTERICAL!)
It’s him, Colon isn’t a faceless persona we know what he looks like as he showed his face and his first name is literally in his RUclips bio…
BRO THE COMMENT IS WHAT I SAID
That SLAP to the wall was everything. I was giggling like a maniac for a couple minutes
the description of his channel literally says "hi there im craig (aka colon)"
Why would anyone pin a comment if you could tape it on a wall?
Rob also fixed the fact that your percentage goes back when going back in the power trip wave part and stuff. This is a small change but made the show percentage button more useful.
Alt title: Rob caring about his game and community more than any other game dev for 12 minutes and 49 seconds.
BEFORE PREMIRE GANG
this is irrelevant now
11:21 little did he know, the coins in dash were even worse 😭
@melissahawaii little did he know he was a furry
“im gonna put this in the WHAT WERE YOU THINKING tier”
yeah.... we all know what happened next. DASH SPIDER PART
H's spider part gonna be worse (if yk, yk)
dash’s coins was WAYYY better than og subzero coins
I think the other harmless bugs like those in Clubstep, and the missing spikes and other stuff really give a character to the main levels and make them feel like they were made by Robtop.
I'm happy that you said that the skip doesn't need to be fixed because people actually like it. It's nice that you were able to see the bigger picture instead of just thinking of it as another problem to be fixed:)
This just proves that with enough criticism change can happen! Great job Colon!
your coin problem video was perfect because it felt nicely balanced with feedback and entertainment :) absolutely deserved 1M dub
no way, it's cob
Hi cob
@craigdavies2598 No way, it's Craig!
cob
I used to think the final coin in power trip was from a random trigger
3:58 “He was really low on sleep”
Idk but like the way he said that was so funny
4:07 why the actual fawk did i laugh 😅🤣😂💀😆😅🤣
Me too 🤣
@DecayingWinterEnjoyer me to XD🤣
👍
👍
Stick.mp4
I am actually so happy for you, it must feel great knowing that you had such a big impact on a part of the game, I can imagine some stress about some reactions after the video became so popular, but honestly it was a great, entertaining, VERY well made and your points were so well explained! Huge congrats to you
what i love about power trips 2nd coin is that the invisible orb clicks sync up with the percussion part of the song.
Fun fact: with the new update the progress bar doesn’t go down when you go backwards (sadly we also can’t access 2.2 even closer throughout saved levels.)
10:49 to get the best of both worlds, I would show the coin briefly after tapping, but before the player can collect it, it flies off to the end of the level. You now know exactly what tapping there does, but you can’t take the skip if you want the coin
One thing he could done to the 3rd coin in Power Trip is, when you activate the coin, the layout for the spider gets more difficult for a small extra challenge.
Also, glad Rob went back and actually fixed the coins, cause most mobile devs would give to yoddles if their game is bugged or not. Big W for the dude 😎
yes
Years
@Sigmacat-e6v Space Pirates
3:40 fellow Niko Oneshot
I think its pretty cool how Power Trip has different pulsing now too
0:17 that’s a lot to look past
8:40 i play with ldm enabled so there is no circle effect, so i had to bash my head into everything until i noticed the sparkle
XD
“If there’s something in a game you don’t like”
shows map packs
3:11 you also notice the icon portal got smaller
5:19 Press F in chat for colorblinds
Wouldn't It At Least Be Green Or Another Colour For Them And Not Just White?
F
in the new update there's a new "secret way" on power trip in the first wave part, you just have to go up to the teleport portal but then go down before it teleports you and for some reason that lets you avoid getting reversed so you get to skip the entire rest of the level
2:12 Ooh yes, the sounds of CAVE STORY music.
This is so wild, I replayed SubZero in early June this year and then left it again two weeks later. I definitely had to google how to get the old coins. Never would've expected them to get changed thanks to a youtube video!
12:17" just send them a messege or email" ye but robtop has like half million messeges in email
1:10 RobTop actually agreed with you because on Geometry Dash Wiki, on the Update 2.2, the last update in June says "30th June: Geometry Dash RUclipsr Colon released a video complaining about Geometry Dash SubZero's coins having bad or lazy placements in the levels. RobTop later commented that he agrees with Colon."
I remember looking on youtube for the coins AFTER the update but the video was before the update and i was so pissed about none of them working
10:35 it’s not a mistake, it’s a masterpiece.
There. I said it.
1 year but no comments? Let me fi- (gets shot by GD cologne 😱)
Another year, another comment
Lil early, but it’s 2026, soooooo
One of the times a developer pays attention to their community. Haven’t seen that in a long time.
fun fact , half the features in 2.2 are fan ideas , even the new game mode , orbs , icons ( duh ) , and gravity platforms
Remember, guys, when Power Trip coins noclipped you into the backrooms?
This was so helpful, I was genuinely struggling with the second coin in power trip. Thanks
Nice life lesson colon. I approve! 11:44
Colon, the "ORD" thing... that's actually a thing called "Order". It's used when a pad or orb that isn't set to Multi-Activate has a Reverse on it. I discovered it while playing 2.2 Unlocked. There's a setting on the Editor Pause Menu called "Record Order", and that actually should be turned on.
11:07 (breaks out laughing and crying)
Colon still find a way to get angry
I haven’t even played this game in years, but damn, if it isn’t an absolutely epic moment. Props to you for making an objective and really interesting video and to the developer for listening to his community!!!
6:24 bro walked on spikes
the very obvious fading platform that shows up:
its not the coin, it was the spikes BEFORE the actual platforms. Look carefully.
@AvatarNamedDave69 oh
I think it was just an invisible platform in case you exited the wave low, which is what happened.
@Solar7846makes sense, if you speed run that shit, that run is over if the invis wasnt there
It's cool that rob listens to the community sometimes! Keep up the good work colon!
The way he said: "and possess when fcking shopkeeper" got me dying 🤣
11:25 oh how naive you were...
5:07 you also have to jump to get the coin
3:06 Wow never knew Colon doesn't have elbows
now i want to hear what he thinks of the coins in dash now that 2.2 is out
I was thinking that for Power Trip's 3rd coin, once you get it after hitting the text a few times, it actually buffs the very easy spider part by a little
5:38 is a red orange cicle!!
Just because of this, I am coming up when many cool ideas for what the 2.2 levels will be like when getting coins. Also great video!
Zhenmuron agreed to my favorite Cologne.
8:34 *sad ldm user noises*
There is another way to skip power trip completely breaking it as well. This skip is located in the wave portal where you can skip and have no objects stopping you
7:36 He’s not just Insane, he’s Easy Demon.
Fr
Made me laugh
Extreme/grama demon
I like when your thinking the hair at the top becomes a ?
I (personally) think it would be really cool if robtop added a little alternate but easy obstacle course on the floor after doing the spider skip
maybe a little bit of text congratulating you for finding a secret path?
agree with that but when i was playing 'power trip' i noticed another secret way that is shorter than the level. It is on the first wave, in front of the mirroring portal you need to release and hold, then you go straight and the level ends at 70-80%. I hope you will see
2:20 I agree with you
Whenever the platforms moved on power trip I was like” what in the autobots transformer is that
11:41 big chungas moment
e x p a n d C o l o n
Just call it “secret skip.” ( 11:14 )
Personally I'd make it so that Power Trip's second coin kept the invisible part, but made it so that instead of getting launched into the coin, you'd fall into the rainbow which would make you fall into the coin, like what you suggested.
in power trip at the wave part, when you reverse, you can glitch and go forwand leading you to complete the level
11:13 Secret path
no, it's called a swag route
@kijetesantakalu_lon Just gonna say dat
One of the first times I've seen a dev/dev team watch a video on why the game has a specific flaw, and go out of their way to fix it. Rob, I'm sorry for all the mean things that 8 year old me shouted at you over the third level.
"possessed the frickin' shopkeeper" was my favorite part
3:15 YES FINALLY
11:17 missed a coin pun here. "Coinclusion"
Please don’t make RUclips videos
please make youtube videos
Duality of man proved right above me
@mj_gaming6827 Humanity is stupid but funny
1:01 Canada must really like Geometry Dash
@Xega64 i know i do 🍁
The second coin in Nock em kinda stooped me out so much that I was actually missing the key because i was too high up in my ship
I’d honestly expect something like this out of Viprin. This is absolutely legendary.
The 2nd coin in Power Trip has also a slight difficulty increase aside from the obvious changes
Apparently if you tap the jump orb too early it'll bump you into the coin, but also then right into the spike next to the landing.
I haven't thought I would find you outside discord lol
Yeah that happened to me
Man, I still can't get the second coin.
Edit: I finally got it.
8:15 Colon: „Edit tab, select, Garbage button“ it’s making me laugh
Agreed
10:27 what's funny is that an easy demon called "Impulse" also has a skip part, but has an unavoidable obstacle at the end
10:59 I think he just didn’t want players to accidentally do it. He didn’t patch the spider method as it is hard to do, so why patch it? Though, a player could easily misclick and miss the green orb.
5:59 the fact that that was legitimately my initial reaction to seeing the location of that coin
While it is incredibly cool that Rob actually listened, fixing the coins and making Nock Em less... ramming your face into every wall to see what happens. The new Power Trip coins kind of bug me. It's like the coins turned from being lazy to being like an Early 2.0 level where it moves right after you jump and you have to react instantly, or just throwing an Alpha trigger over the route. I do prefer the new Power Trip coins (especially the third coin since it was dumb that it was given to you at the end), but playing through them for the first time gave me visions of earlier worse days for the GD Community.
also 3:53 i can't believe my half-baked theory was actually correct, i made that assumption because of rob talking about how he had a schedule for 2.2 in like 2019 where he was gonna push out a World update in time for Christmas if 2.2 released on time.
Maybe RobTop can put a text box in the power trip bug saying something like "LOL secret way" or something like that.
0:30 4 the last time live chat, he not furry dude, S W E A T E R!!!!
