Hey - just an important reminder that you should NOT go after the creator, harass them, spam their levels with hate, etc. This should be common sense. Generation Retro is a VERY creative level with lots of fun theming, but the creator just didn't do a very good job at building it in the editor. It's a random custom level that a kid dreamt up and worked hard on, and usually I would never hate on someone for doing that. *HOWEVER* - this level is in a Gauntlet, which means millions of players are forced to play it. This basically means that the level is "official", and for that reason I wanted to dive deep into it and pinpoint why it's so hated - so new creators don't make the same mistakes. It's a charming level on its own, but an absolute trainwreck inside a Gauntlet. *I don't hate the creator and I don't hate the idea of the level. I hate the fact that RobTop scooped up a random 13 year old's level for a Gauntlet that will be played by a massive audience.* Think of this video as "Why this level shouldn't be in a Gauntlet", and NOT "Why this level shouldn't exist".

6:21 You know, if you think about it, the green orb has technically existed since the game was first released, as creators could have easily created the mechanic by combining a yellow orb with a gravity portal, which was done very often in pre-2.0 levels. Therefore, Arathhsa could have started building the level in 1.9, but that first click would have initially been a yellow orb combined with a gravity portal, and then they changed it to a regular green orb after 2.0 came out.

My personal theory is that the designs were just copied from some random 1.9 level. Since the creator was also likely very young, I can imagine this to be possible. This also ties into the fact that custom objects were new in 2.0.

See my comment gdcolon please I need to know if there is something wrong with my level or if it is fine and just needs decoration

You asked for theories, so here’s mine: The red and blue aliens are brothers, and the blue one was always the better kid and their parents’ favorite. As expected, the red alien was jealous, so he kidnapped his own brother and brought him to his own part of the galaxy. The green aliens are his workers and are supposed to make sure the blue alien never escapes. He allows visitors so nobody is suspicious of him hiding something. That’s why he was all nice at the beginning of the level. But when the key is collected, it opens up the area where the blue alien was trapped. That’s why the red alien says “NOOO!!!” The red alien begins to search for the blue alien, and sends his highest ranked worker, the other red alien in the first boss fight, to take care of you. The blue alien knows that you’re in trouble, so he goes to save you. After the first boss is defeated, the red alien decides that he needs to take care of you first. That leads to the “level final.” The red alien then destroys the blue alien, which leads to you getting revenge for him once and for all, as you blast the red alien. I really just spent ten minutes of my life writing a story on a KZread comment. Welp

I have a feeling that “You are not win” was inspired by grammatically incorrect phrases from older games, e.g. the iconic “All your base are belong to us” from Zero Wing’s opening cutscene.

I think the issue with Scarlet Surge is that if you can't beat it in your first few attempts, it just becomes tedious. Crashing in the last 25% makes you REALLY not feel like playing the entire damn thing again.

Extra fact for you @GDColon. When remaking the level, I saw that the dude didn't use a single Alpha trigger (there is only one that makes the mini portals, the first speed portal invisible). The key, the title and the red alien animations are all controlled by color triggers, switching from black (blending) to green/red (blending), which explains whyost of the background was black.

Scarlet Surge is genuinely one of my favorite levels. I don’t know why, but I like the song and atmosphere. But, I can understand the problem behind sensitivity.

Theory: I think the reason why the alien says “NO” after he welcomes you is because he wanted you to have died by now. He welcomed you because this was supposed to be a death trap, but when it became unsuccessful, he got angry. Maybe that can also explain the gameplay at the start. What are your thoughts?

I actually found a skip in that level. There is a well-known robot glitch where if you click right before you hit a jump pad, you’ll go much higher. If you do this in the transition to the wave, and do some precise jumps to get over some slopes, you’ll be underneath the wave part. If you keep going there is a green monster that the creator placed with this exact scenario in mind, but you can just jump over it! Keep going, there’s a random red alien on the floor around halfway but he won’t hurt you, wait some more, and you’ll be able to skip the entire level! You’re welcome, Cologne.

We need this guy as a personal trainer. He could point out so many problems in the life editor.

Probably a really unpopular opinion but Generation Retro is one of my favorite levels that’s been put into a gauntlet; however, I’m in the same boat of the “why is this even in a gauntlet”. The level has so much more character and charm then the majority of levels in the gauntlets and I found the gameplay to be really fun! Yeah there’s a couple of iffy parts but compared to other gauntlet levels it’s not bad at all. Or even compared to other levels in the game for that matter. This is extremely biased as Generation Retro was one of the few gauntlet levels I first beat back in the day on an Amazon Kindle with less than 20 attempts (at the time Fire Aura for example took like 170). Really good level, with pretty readable gameplay for its release imo.

One thing I really appreciate about Gen Retro being in the gauntlets is that there's no chance in hell it would've gotten so popular otherwise. Even if the execution is pretty bad, I'm really glad to see people talking about how genuinely creative and interesting it is for a starting creator. This level has ideas and a "story" (even if simple) and creative applications of the retro theme (mainly by incorporating it into the gameplay). And as frustrating as it might be to play, it puts creativity over quality, which is something that starting creators should learn is completely okay. During an era where super high quality levels are everywhere and people are always comparing their works to better levels and losing motivation through that, Gen Retro is proof that a level can still offer so much even if it's crudely made, and those are the kinds of levels that creators should be comparing their own levels to: not to compare quality, but for pure inspiration. So, honestly, I'm really happy this level is in the gauntlet for that reason.

I love how Colon just suddenly decided to become a game reviewer without any prior experience or knowledge at all.

So I was looking at improving Generation Retro’s gameplay and the creator had put the mini portals at 5% to do a pad jump which I had fixed to make it work more because the pad isn’t needed and also I love the way you fixed the boss fight

Now we need the dash spider part in this beautiful level!

The major issue is the quality control behind what levels are picked for the gauntlets. I remember the first Fire gauntlet level having a coin with the text “ViPriN iS tRigGerEd”.

The reason why the object count at the end is inaccurate is because since the text uses small pixel blocks, the creator looked at the object count before making the text and put the previous object count into the level, taking up a lot of objects. If he used normal text, he could just look at the object count, put it onto the text, and change the text by 1 to make it accurate.

This wouldn't make much sense, as your supposed "virus" boss appears at the start and welcomes you to the level, way before the "virus" was detected. Otherwise, a very captivating theory!

So far, from what I could say about this is: - There are certainly worse levels out there, but this one's forced. You can blame the creator for inconsistency, but it's up to the players on whether or not they shall play it. At least the creator made an effort to at least appeal to the kids, knowing that this game's made for kids. Wonder why RobTop forced us to finish this is a mystery you could think about. Maybe ask him? - This isn't the worst level. To me, it's just what basically RobTop does- it's to challenge players. It's neat to see a 27 minute critique of the level, but if you think about it: is that necessary? Maybe yes, because it's the worst gauntlet level ever, but it's still better than 50% of the more recent levels in the magic tab. - Probably the reason why the pixel art was inconsistent was that it was made in 1.9 but was updated to 2.0 shortly upon the making of this level. - Awkward mechanics in this level are expected, considering the creator wasn't that much experienced or didn't know much about play testing(it's probably made by a middle schooler bro). It was made for fun anyways. Same goes for the triggers, placement and stuff.

Personally, I’d say Fire Aura (lvl 4 of Lava Gauntlet) is way worse. The gameplay is just awful, especially the wave parts, and it’s also forced.

I can't wait for MatPat's 40 minute theory on that mysterious green eye

"You have not win! You...DIED!" is probably the funniest thing I've ever heard

Generation retro is epic

I think I know why this level doesn't use pixel Blocks. Basically all of the aliens you see are in the background, and Some artstyles use darker lines fairly seperate from each other to make the illusion that it's a shadow.(and that they are in the background) And the aliens that aren't in the background are most likely just copy&pastes, from the bg aliens. (Like for example the ball part and even in the build up when you see the name of the level it has the same aliens from the background but they're just smaller) And the blue and red alien? Probably the same thing but just recolors of the bg ones. But I think the reason why the coin and key aren't pixel blocks, is because they aren't copy&pastes like the aliens are. So in conclusion the lack of pixel blocks is just because of plain laziness, because the creator probably just made the bg aliens first and just copy&pasted them everywhere. (so it probably was just a style choice or that the creator really didin't know that there were pixel blocks and that the coin&key were built in the very end and just then the creator realized that pixel blocks were a thing lol) (:

The "scary eyeball thing" is most probably just an abandoned custom art for the coin, which explains it's disappearance after you go past it. And it's a pretty decent thing to cling on to, just like Devil Vortex saws, they were styled just for Devil Vortex and were used in the actual level, but the creator forgot about deleting them afterwards. I think this comment is too long.

I just realized that it's actually a really good thing to cling onto, because the level feels like an unfinished preview, because it (the texture) wasn't even deleted or moved in the right place, and there were probably more of such unfinished assets that weren't deleted

As a Spanish speaker, I am sorry you and many other GD players had to endure this. May you heal from this torture.

The free birds we need to back in time ending is perfect

So, here’s my theory, it’s kinda goofy The blue and red alien were uhh…dating, and then they broke up, but the red alien created the decoy (aka their son) using a soul or smth. (The soul is that weird symbol you pass by) When he says “NO!” To the player, they think that they are the one bringing the virus, due to having some future-vision powers. Then when the blue alien shows up, when they say “and we will end!” They want to sign the divorce papers once and for all. … Yeah, stupid goofy theory, but it’s mine :3

For me it’s Fire Aura for being so inconsistent with difficulty & super frustrating to grind out for less experienced players. It’s like throwing the first Deadlocked Wave in the middle of Jumper

I honestly really like Fire Aura because I enjoy fast paced wave sections, but I can agree that it's a little extreme for the lava gauntlet and it shouldn't have been rated a 7 star.

@cookieplays3697

I agree with the comment above me, fire aura is a pretty good level, but the only problem is, is that the first cube should be in a five star, and there’s other parts that i wouldn’t complain if they were in a easy demon. Fire aura is really cool, but it doesn’t have balancing.

I liked the level. Of course, when I died at the moment where the green bro gives way to the red one, my exclamations from “I love this level” changed to “I love GD Colon,” but despite this moment, I still enjoyed the level. I especially liked the choice of music - in the first percent of the level I get goosebumps every time. Of course, there are many mistakes at the level, I don’t argue. I watched the video and laughed, but in the last minutes I felt so sad. The author is now criticized so much and insults are written in the comments below the level that I really feel sorry for him. And after watching the video, I specifically completed Potion Gauntlet (I’m not very keen on Gauntlets, I only completed Discord, Shadow and Chaos) just for this level, because I really wanted to support the author. And in general, I advise everyone to go through the level and write words of approval to the author (no need to lie and say that the level is good. Just write something nice). Although it’s possible that I feel this way about the level only because I’m kind jajaja
