Geometry Dash has been around for a long time, and people have been making levels in it for a while. Many old levels are in the map packs, and are widely considered to be bad, but is that the case for ALL levels made during that time? Today, I'll be investigating this question.

The playtesting in editor feature wasn't around until 1.7, so before that, playtesting was inconvenient for creators.

12:46 is probably a memory levels, so don’t be surprised if you see so many weird fakes. Memory levels might have not been a thing back then, but this might be just an unrecognised memory level.

yea i just cant tell which levels here are meant to be memory and which ones arent but just end up like that anyways bc of lack of playtesting

In the early updates players disliked levels that were too hard or confusing. As long as a level looked decent and you could beat it after a few practice runs it was recieved as a good level

@lucidmlem 11 месяцев назад

Not really related but the only good early 2.0 levels are Unity and High Life. Every other one doesn’t know easing exists and is as basic as they come. They also don't know easing exists.

@tristanharris8440 11 месяцев назад

Back in the day, people just disliked levels because it was "too difficult" or "too confusing". Like, if you're bad at the game, then don't play harder levels just to dislike them.

@Wizardrex562 11 месяцев назад

Something that I noticed, the more wacky the gamemode is, the better the level since it has to be playtested more. Usually dual levels are really good because they require a lot of playtasting. Dual in editor and normal is different so playtesting in normal is neccessary.

@ThePureBoi 11 месяцев назад

people keep saying "but there wasnt playtesting back then" but thats irrelevant because they can still play the level

@furiousfurii 11 месяцев назад

Refresh rate bugs are not the only ones affecting old creators but also physics of the game have changed over 9 years. A ton of old levels relied on memory gameplay because we were awful at the game back then and sight reading was not really thought of since everyone used practice mode anyways. These levels might not have aged as well because we have improved at the game so much, either that or you have a skill issue.

@sdslayer100 11 месяцев назад

if the physics have changed then some of the blame is on robtop i suppose, but either way most of my layouts have gameplay that likely works no matter what physics changes get made, not sure why its so hard for old creators to be good at making levels

@furiousfurii 11 месяцев назад

@MrBrineplays_ 11 месяцев назад

@@sdslayer100The ship was really janky back then. It used to be more like a smooth wave rather than an actual ship. It had strong gravity and strong uplift force. It wasn't also possible to straightfly back then due to the same janky physics. Robtop decided to improve it a bit and in the process, made straightfly possible, but also broke many old levels.

@sejt23 11 месяцев назад

you can’t just piss in a pool and then complain about piss being in said pool. you pissed in the pool. you can’t just change the internal frame-rate of the game and then complain about inconsistencies because of changing the internal frame-rate of the game. +if older levels wanted to stand out they’d have to look cooler/better in some ways, one of them being gameplay. how do you make better looking gameplay? make impossible (looking) gameplay setups. ++robtop changed some gamemode physics in older updates for some reason, breaking or accidentally buffing many levels, some of which didn’t get updated to get fixed (also playtesting didn’t exist for awhile so that’s off the table for long levels)

@christopherjobin-official7440 11 месяцев назад

Start pos. Literally Start position's entire purpose was to be used for playtesting, It isnt much of an excuse.

@sdslayer100 11 месяцев назад

'looking cool' is not a valid excuse for making gameplay that barely works even on 60hz lol, also the fact youre calling me out on changing refresh rate shows that you didnt listen or understand a single thing i said because i addressed that like 10 times in this video also idc if playtesting wasnt around back then, play it in normal and fix stuff in the editor after, not hard

@sejt23 11 месяцев назад

i understand your complaints, having barely working gameplay is generally not good. but standards were waay lower back then for getting rated, so if you just used the current updates features, and your level wasn’t physically impossible, you’d usually get at least a rate, which is why so many old levels are “bad”. there just wasn’t much quality control. also your “just playtest it idc” argument isn’t that great, when most of the most disliked levels in gd are demons, and i don’t know about you, but i’m not beating a whole demon (on mobile) every time i want to check if a jump is blind, or see if the level’s unbalanced. on the refresh rate debacle, everything comes with a cost. better ship physics and smaller input delay? inconsistencies in certain setups it is. besides, like many others said: rob changed the game physics much more often in earlier updates, so that certainly isn’t helping. TLDR: gd is a community ran game, the standards for which changed with time. nowadays having jank gameplay like that is pretty unacceptable. (except if your name is the featured tab)

@sejt23 11 месяцев назад

@@sdslayer100 looking cool not being a valid excuse is kinda stupid, because nobody wanted to play stereo madness with a few spikes added here and there. creators wanted to stand out, and the easiest way to do that is with gameplay.

5:14 its a weird gameplay mechanic, you fall and press the orb... its actually pretty cool but unfortunately extremely weird 6:01 this was copied from the impossible game lol 7:54 More JumpMachine is an early memory level i think, also if you hate this go check out modern memory levels 9:02 its a memory level... he definitely thought that alright 11:31 this either was a bug from robtop making ball hit ceiling without dying or was a fake and we would never know... 15:06 a lot of his levels are on "-" now because... yeah

@NotBest713 11 месяцев назад

so about 11:31, when you were a ball, hit a jump pad and hit the ceiling in earlier versions, you die. so probably instead of hitting the ceiling, you would clip into the ceiling a little bit but not die (like the cube, when you jump into a block, you clip into it a little, because of the hitboxes, and die. but if you put h blocks, you will bump into them without clipping into them). sorry if this was confusing, if i could, i would send a screenshot.

no no, they're bad, sure they're different but there's tons of 'different' levels nowadays that are really good. dislikes come from unexpected difficulty, you would not expect the gameplay found in some of these levels based on their difficulty
