Reviewing the Most Popular Geometry Dash Levels

If you're reading this, hey robtop it's not too late to rework map packs

Correction: It appears that *Promises WAS highlighted in Geometry Dash World!* Along with checking the current list, I watched a bunch of old GD World playthroughs to see if the level was anywhere to be found - but didn't find anything. Feel a little guilty for saying false info in the video now but oh well, I tried my best. (thank you for correcting me!)

Also, sorry that some of the clips have small but noticeable lag spikes in them, it happend with all the clips I recorded while having a bunch of other windows (such as my editor) open. Didn't realize until after rendering and I didn't wanna rerecord dozens of clips. Not the worst thing in the world thankfully

Edit: I also said 1200 instead of 12000, I am very stupid

We need a category for "top downloaded in the past month" and make that the default when you search for GD levels with no filter

[normalman]

I literally screamed “YES” when colon said “not as bad as generation retro”

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.

The nightmare & the lightning road is pretty much the stereo madness & back on track of the demon levels

[boizenbree]

Colon single-handedly roasting The Nightmare was interesting...

[JamesLee-iuln]

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.

8:32 "This level has objects"

Colon always has something new to teach me

[chmist]

my wife was giving birth but this is more important

Fun fact: Acid Factory probably has a lot of plays because it used to be inside the gd world servers before they got updated.

[MayGDwastaken]

My house was burning down but i am rewatching every colon video so i paused the fire

[Fiveskarexperience]

4:34 If you thought The Nightmare was bad, JUST WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE THE LIGHTNIMG

[cheesecraft]

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

[nightmarenitemare]

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?

[CornGDPS]

i doubt anyone that heard "not as bad as generation retro" was expecting colon to make a whole video about it a year and a half later

[thwingerpodthvet]

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.

[SugarooLM]

Fun fact: At some point Promises WAS in gd world, but the game server got updated and was deleted

Edit: you're welcome colon

[brosamjgd]

You should continue this series, this video was actually very enjoyable

[ravager]

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.

[thunk]

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.
