A Full Review of The Tower (Geometry Dash 2.2)

Ойындар

Geometry Dash 2.2 added The Tower, and it's one heck of a platformer experience.
This was supposed to be a quick 5-10 video but oops I don't work like that.

    Okay but the final rating in the conclusion being a parody of the 2.2 release date announcement only for said rating to go down just because of the god awful blue coin located ironically in the EXACT SAME section is such a clever bit that perfectly summarizes like half of this video. Great job👍

    just a bad take. gd cologne didnt intend for it to be rated (or even a good level), since he literally wanted to recreate the ripoff mario games that you would see in the flash era. He never hated on community made levels, other than the really bad ones (dorabae levels, gen retro) The reason he hated so much on robtop, is that robtop _literally made the game_, its his job to create a good standpoint, which he failed at in some ways @@aftershokke

    This might be just me, but i personally always enjoyed your "yap sessions." While i still thought this video was both insightful and entertaining. It felt like you had a lot more to say on the tower, but didn't do so on the fear of "yapping to much" about useless things. From my perspective it never felt overdone and It's clear that you're passionate on GD, so we wouldn't mind hearing more extensive thoughts from you. It's part of what made your content unique. Tdlr: i don't think you should fear making your videos longer, since i always felt like your insight has valuable. Even if some others think you're over analyzing.

    tbh I made this one shorter because I feel like it didn't NEED to be long - it just makes it more annoying to edit down the road. I said everything I wanted to say. If I was willing to yap more I probably would have reviewed each individual blue coin, but it felt unnecessary for this video so I just did so with text.

    my problem with the lack of checkpoints in many, MANY difficult platformer levels is a fun thing called artificial difficulty. if you dont make checkpoints, the level gets harder, as you cant start from the beginning of the room or something like that. eventually we may end up with top 1 platformers just being 30+ minutes long with tons of awful timings with absolutely zero checkpoints.

  • @GDColon

    @GDColon

    2 ай бұрын

    Yep, checkpoints directly influence how hard a level is. As mentioned in the video, the creator needs to make the surprisingly tough decision of figuring out if it's a good idea or not. Less checkpoints = More thrill, but it comes at the cost of forcing players to do the same thing over and over again. But it matches the way classic GD works a lot more closely

    @@GDColon In my opinion, all non-demon platformers are the same difficulty with minimum tight gaps and puzzles, and it is the amount of checkpoints that determines the difficulty, while demon platformers are based more on tough gameplay and discovering more about the level. Also, they are less forgiving and usually have less checkpoints as a result. I'm pretty sure people don't know really which difficulty their level deserves when they upload it because it's more tedious to tell, really. It's obvious when it comes to basically the first month of rated platformers, as most of them had the comments going wild about how they were the completely incorrect difficulty. An example could even be Super GD Gem Hunt 64, because it got really negative feedback due to the low rating at first.

    @@wilh3lmmusicJust wait until you find out the original style of levels cannot let you have checkpoints (unless you use persistent items to create a workaround, but still), and you'll need to rethink this mindset if you want to enjoy them. And even then, there's a difference between criticism and harassment, so be careful with the words you are using to express your opinions.

    yes indeed, something annoying doesnt make something hard in a good way, just hard in a bad way, which is not fun nor fair, i barely had used practice in a plat. because i just want to see what the level is trying to do and if it is worth the time for the orbs, if a level fails to retain my attention, maybe its the levels fault and i have the right to express my discontent.

A Colon video doesn't always have to be 50 minutes of dunking on stupid spider parts and stuff, it can be shorter yet still equally well-crafted review video, and this one does it really well. The editing is just as zany and creative as always, *20:09* _that ending bloody killed me it's so awesome!_ Great job Cologne Man GD, you'd make a great Schaffrillas Productions-esque film/game reviewing channel...

    SORRY I'M LATE I WANTED TO WATCH THIS VIDEO ASAP BUT HI I'M HERE NOW i really enjoyed this video!! i honestly feel like this video was the absolute perfect length, considering you dissected pretty much every single thing there is to analyse about the tower. you never fail to impress me with your ability to just discuss literally anything about gd. i've said it before already, but i feel like i can listen to you ramble about stuff for hours and not get bored listening whatsoever. your videos have always been super entertaining to watch, and this is no exception. and about the video itself, i once again agree with literally everything you said here lol, you made some really good points throughout the video, like when you talked about the purposes of the blue and yellow coins in each platformer level. you always have this very unique way of analysing and breaking things down, which to me is a big part of the reason why it's so interesting to hear your thoughts and opinions on topics. btw i love how this video was both a tower review and a "tips for building platformer levels" discussion lol. i'll definitely be taking some notes from here when (or if) i make my own platformer levels. great video!! sorry it took long for me to watch, but i really loved it 🧡

    I love the Tower. The progression feels so good, starting off with a pretty short introductory level and ending with a pretty difficult (but not too difficult) final level that includes a bossfight at the end. Honestly I can't wait to see what RobTop does with floor 2!

    I think it's really interesting that the platformer gamemode doesn't just simply give the player right/left controls, but also introduces more traditional platformer elements such as checkpoints, collectables (*good* collectables, that is), and coyote time. It's kind of cool that the new gamemode is also being used as an oppurtunity to go over the game as a whole and tweak some mechanics to be more user-friendly, which was certainly a problem in GD leading up to 2.2

    Thank God, Colon finally said something about the tiktok users who comment, "ADD MORE CHECKPOINTS." Hopefully, his cult followers will see that Colon thinks too many checkpoints are a bad thing, and they stop commenting to add more on perfectly fine levels. I felt like I was completely alone on this until this video. But fr, how is a community based off of a game with no checkpoints mad at levels for have slighty less than 1 checkpoints per 2 jumps.

    I’ve been playing this game for years. I’ll start with this: classic GD and platformer GD are very different, and should be treated differently. Often a lack of checkpoints doesn’t make a level more different or more intense, it just makes it ANNOYING and NOT FUN. (I am speaking from much experience, not just in GD). Of course this is true of many platformer levels (and criticizing their lack of checkpoints is deserved as long as it is done respectfully) but I sometimes feel this way in classic levels too. And saying “just use practice mode” is a terrible counterargument because it misunderstands both the problem that occurs from lack of checkpoints and the purpose of practice mode.

  • @ziwuri

    I think it's a remnant of the fact that there was no practice mode in platformers shortly after the update, so people got used to only having access to checkpoints placed by the creator.

    The Tower definitely was a neat experience. Four whole levels of a new style fit into this already big update is crazy, and it's mostly awesome! The Cursed Thorn gave me a bit of a skill issue and the music admittedly got a bit grating at times, but I'm glad we got a boss at all, y'know? And, yeah, you make a good point with the checkpoints, that can completely change the feel of a level. I recently played through A Dance of Fire and Ice and its DLC, and there being far more checkpoints in the latter definitely made it feel quite different. I generally prefer less checkpoints just because it feels more satisfying to finally get to the next one / beat the level, and there's always the option of peeking ahead in practice mode anyway. I think a general good rule of thumb could be putting a checkpoint every given interval of time, like the average length of a Classic level assuming no deaths, as well as after particularly tough parts (unless the point of the section after is to try not to choke). I feel like, despite your videos sometimes being a bit negative, they always did carry that constructivity in them that I care about. You identified problems, stated why they're issues, and stated possible ways to fix them. That's a lot more than some people would care to do- it's a lot easier to just say "this sucks!" and move on! That being said, it is nice to have a video highlighting good design without many drawbacks for a change...
