Reviewing Geometry Dash's Menus 

Agreed, but probably not something that will be fixed until after 2.2 :)

12:12 by far the best gui - simple - easy to understand - not overcrowded - nice minimalistic design - unique - memorable

I didn't knew this channel, discovered this after 2.2, and coming back on this video after the update and realizing that some things you suggested were actually implemented is so cool

another thing i would add in the pause menu or gameplay is a sign showing how many coins you have collected in the level on your current attempt. when you collect a coin it shows briefly along the other 3 coins you can collect, kind of Rayman Legends’ teensie progress bar, and also WHICH coin you collected (whether its the first, second or third coin)

I like how you're well into your fixing GD arc lmao

i think the real problem with the menus is that pressing escape on the pause menu should unpause, *not quit the level*

Honestly Colon is one of my favorite content creators because he is very accurate

I really like the ideas you suggested for the icon kit! Also settings should be accessible from everywhere, you're right! + Great video :)

1:45 To add on here, the icons you dont have will always have the classic grey shown, but the ones you own will have the colors you set, showing a preview with the colors without having to equip it.

i really wish there a dummies version of the editor, because the current menu looks terrifying

I would also like to add that you can add a function to the level search filter that, during operation, will issue levels with EXACTLY the same name that you entered. For example, if you write "blood" in the search, then you will get not bloodbath and bloodlust, but a level called "blood". Still, it would be possible to make a function to search for levels by the creator. This would be more convenient than logging into the person's account and then going to "my levels" . And one last little detail that pissed off my inner perfectionist. In achievements, the "60 demons" achievement comes after "40 demons" and before "50 demons. Aaaarrghhh

6:38 Search bar :D

The mysterious 5th button can be the settings button too! Personally, I'd like a record trails option in editor levels in play mode that you can then find in edit mode. Sometimes you do a weird jump pattern and you fall somewhere you're not supposed to be, so a feature like this would be quite useful

1:14 That's actually a great idea,maybe what i would do is,the closer you are to unlocking a new icon the icon becomes more and more visible so for example : Icon unlocks if you have 2500 stars If you have 0 stars at the moment you wont see the icon at all If you have 1000 stars you can see the icon behind the lock a bit more And so on and so on.

The fact that most of these are now in 2.2

Colon: *Talks about how this video editing is trash Also Colon: *Makes the video editing very good

10:16 our hero deleted generation retro

There should be an option for reshaping nearly everything into circles. Also should be in the settings. Maybe called “More than Nine Circles” Just a joke setting. Also it just reverts the icons and buttons, not editor objects, if you’re wondering.

Geometrical Menu

Great video man! I really, really liked the abbreviated idea with instead of 15000000, it says 15M. Or robtop could have at least added commas so it's 15,000,000

10:17 bro was foreshadowing another video 💀💀💀💀

PowerPoint Quality represents these GD Slides. Unique in one way.

Very cool ideas, fr now, we need such things in the future updates. I like those ones from 1:16, 3:20, 3:25, 3:35, 5:28, 5:33, 6:07, 6:14 and 6:40 Also Robtop, give some credits to Kelvin MacLeod for the shop themes, because i didn't even know that he is the one responsible for them =))) And good job once again Colon (fox boy) with ur video. Idk if i'm the only one who noticed, but : - 0:18 Fumo Patchouli? - Jungle Surface Day and Jungle Surface Night themes from Terraria? - 3:35 Nice tags: "Mechanical" , "Fire" , "Fast" and "Boss Fight" (idk why, but i imagine Mechanical Bosses from Terraria) - 4:18 Nice Touhou Fumos images (i can name them if u wanna know their names: Alice Margatroid, Reimu Hakurei, Patchouli Knowledge, Cirno, Marisa Kirisame and Satori Komeiji), and the text files name, even though idk what it means, but i see them.

11:43 It's probably so that if you delete your whole level or something, you don't accidentally save it. This happened to Surv when he was verifying Yatagarasu. However, I do agree with the fact that Save and Play/Save and Exit should have confirmation messages

Huge respect for the Will you Snail ost included. I see you're truly the man.

Great video! I genuinely don't get how you so consistently make these videos interesting, and I never disagree with anything you say because your takes are simply too based.

The square adventure thing at 0:39 I can resonate with

8:15 stop smashing my name baka >.

for the title screen i think it would be cool if you could have a button at the top to remove the buttons so you can just play with the icons on screen. could be similar to the megahack thing where you can press a button to hide the level complete screen to see an endscreen of a level better.

10:14and just like that, therapists were losing their jobs.

i think the idea of only icons you've unlocked showing up in the menu is a great suggestion! but on the other hand, i do think it is nice that newer players may discover an icon through the menu and go like "wow that looks so cool i want that!", although, your change to locked icons in the icon kit showing up partially would remedy that, but still, i think it could be a more interesting way to see new icons in the menu that way, it's nicer to see them in color and moving, as opposed to a grayscale thingy behind a lock symbol! maybe if you click on an icon you haven't unlocked in the menu it can show up in the icon kit telling you how to unlock it? e.g. i click on the "beat ToE2" icon in the menu, and then the lock that says "beat ToE2" now has that icon behind it! i think that'd be even cooler!!

10:17 Deleting Generation Retro is the most based thing I've seen all day

At 7:45 the actual YT like button got highlighted when he said that and I jumped a little lmao

I always thought it was odd that the most often used button is not the big play button in the middle, but the creator button. I mean, when you think about gd, you don't think about the main levels, you think about the other tabs

11:43 Because saving causes your level to be unverified and you have to beat the level again.

Well, Rob actually did some of this. keep it up, Colon, especially in the editor tabs.

OMG. the buttons are square 9:03

6:59 Dang, never knew you were colorblind, Colon! Learn something new every day!

this did *not* feel like a 12 minute video LOL. the long awaited yearly colon upload did not disappoint! i really enjoy watching you ramble about GD stuff, it’s probably what makes you one of my favourite GD content creators also, on the topic of info boxes, rob *really* needs to update the ones that just say “help text”. i feel like crying in a corner whenever i encounter one of those in the editor. also i’m glad the test went really well :)

didn't think this video would have that much to say, but I actually found it interesting enough for me to stay the whole video, I strongly agreed with all the ideas presented too. great job colon, your content is great :) keep it up (Kevin macleod will always be the goat)

0:47 possibly the funniest thing I've seen this month

a thing that i think could be useful, is if Rob adds a ‘recent’ section in editor, where u have the recent blocks, portals, triggers, etc you used in that level, instead of looking one by one in the whole objects thing

Wow these are wonderful ideas!!! I hope Rob sees this video and implements them someday! Really good work in this video ;)

6:47 why does this make me laugh

9:28 Honestly this should just be available as an option for the WHOLE game, just a UI Scale option like Minecraft where u can set it to like 0.5x for every single interface in the game. Can't begin to explain how much i would love that.

12:00 Blåhaj plays Geometry Dash

3:39 He should do something like Mario maker by making the preview a picture of the level from the level editor

The account registration menu is the best website design I've ever seen.

11:31 I would LOVE to have custom easing options such as: Sine in, Back out Back in, Bounce out Instead of in and out all being locked to one type. I think it could be neat. Also, being able to tie specific options together with it. For example, bounce out, only on the y movement instead of both x and y.

4:18 i appreciate the rhythm doctor reference

I loved the idea of hovering over a chest in the treasure room and seeing what you got from it, for some reason I would love to see that in 2.2 or maybe 2.3. Editing a comment right after posting it because I immediately noticed an error. Why do I always do that?

Y does the 2.1 menu look so nostalgic😢 It was 2-3 weeks

0:09 if you look closely in the background you can see the devil vortex saws lmao

Since creating process have been evolved and more advanced from time to time, I feel like we deserved some more Quality of Life features, as a creator like myself it would makes life much easier and saves tons of hours of creating. I'm glad that we have stuff like Autobuild, Keyframe, Random Trigger, Advanced Scaling, etc in 2.2, so I hope this is just a start and we're going to have more useful tools later on.

I genuinely think this man inspired A LOT of features in 2.2, the amount of stuff this man predicted is insane, and the few features that haven't been added to the game have been added by the community with mods, like the level thumbnail feature

I have one more idea for trigger boxes: So you know how if you select multiple types of triggers and try to edit them, another box pops up where you can only edit touch, spawn, or multi triggered. What if, a box for “target group id” is added there, so you can change the group that the trigger targets for multiple triggers at once? I’ve run into this problem a lot, and I think it would be quite helpful!

*I did not know you played btd6 and now I want an entire video of it.*

NOOT NOOT

3:51 maybe the thumbnail can only be a screenshot of the level so people can see a little preview to know what kind of level they’re gonna play

A seizure warning option needs to be in the game, accessibility is really important

colon u forgot one thing 1. Rob please add replies so we know who were talking to and yeah 2. Maybe add more daily chests instead of the infamous 2 ones 3. add one more demon section maybe like ultra demon 4. Maybe add.more buttons on our level customisation 5. and lastly please add explorers❤

9:51 This menu is already "organized", for example, the 1.0 grid blocks and the 1.6 brick blocks are all near eachother which makes it very easy to build with them

version of the game when lvl was created is really good, it shows you some history and how the game and design evolved, like 1.9 and 2.0 have each distinct style of the levels

10:57 when Craig gets angry you already know what happens

Honestly, I hope Robtop hires you, these are legitimately great ideas for the game and I would have never thought about any of these, great video overall!

7:55 to take it further, allow comments to use the percentage you are currently at, and even a “show comments in the level” sort of thing!

Many of them made it into 2.2 You are Amazing Colon

Love that icon added to menu as you unlock them idea 🙏

11:13 i’d give the ability to change what buttons do what yourself. or even the ability to rearrange editor UI entirely

Or robtop could have a "sort button" that organizes all icons by how to unlock them. Stars: 100 stars: unlocked 200 stars: unlocked 300 stars: locked 400 stars: locked 500 stars: locked 1000 stars: locked Main levels Stereo madness: completed Back on track: completed Base after base: completed Dry out: uncompleted Etc. Demons 1 demon: completed 2 demons: completed 3 demons: completed 4 demons: completed 5 demons: completed 10 demons: uncompleted 15 demons: uncompleted This would allow to see yourself make progress so much better And for icons that have random achievements for you to do, could be in its own section too 1000 jumps: completed Rate 1000 levels: uncompleted Destroy 1000 icons in the menu: uncompleted Open 25 chests: completed Click the settings button 10000000 times: completed

I would honestly add a select all type button that selects all of a specific item because to do this right now, you have to select the object, go into the delete tab and select only, and then pause the game and click select all. Very complicated

the best menu is objectively the "how to play" menu also I love the adofai reference at 1:44 and 1:49

This video gave me a good idea: Make a difficulty selecter, so you can pick witch type of level difficulty you want to play.

0:27 You saved yourself with that one cause since that was my first thought I knew that people would complain about it

9:43 damn it goes of the screen

2:46 this is a great idea! however the gotta catch em all cube would be broken and if it could always spawn it wouldnt be rewarding because when your a beginner it would be very common

I've been playing gd for like 4 years and I just now figured out from your video what those badges mean at 5:23

7:45 I think if setting and info button were swapped it'll be better

4:29 got me *dying* especially watching this video after the collab with Lemoncak3 💀💀💀

Geometry Dash Quartic Easing Noot Noot #shorts

8:52 omg based music

08:27 featured is 2 points and epic is 3 points🤓🤓

1:42 Jokes on you Colon, I can see them very clearly

The account registration page is definitely very minimalistic

Idea: Stuff like the “tap lock for more info” and if added, an icon showing the level stats (downloads, likes, etc) should appear, then disappear after it’s tapped, showing that the player understands and shouldn’t be bothered by it anymore.

0:54 to be honest, the clean up makes it worse for me (AND I KNOW IT'S MY MUSCLE MEMORY THAT'S TALKING!!!!). i wonder if Rob would add a way to revert back

2:21 what I would've done is swap the icons with RobTop's logo

0:39 Do you want to release wild sheep into this player's house while they are asleep Colon: Heck yes The player at night: 1 sheep, 2 sheep, 3 she- WAIT WHAT THE

11:35 OH THAT'S WHAT EASING RATE IS FOR

no worries if the menus are good, with a blackout texture pack you can instantly lower a menu’s quality

I think something cool to add to the editor would be to allow users to favorite certain items like blocks and triggers and put it in a favorites tab so we don't have to constantly switch tabs between items we know we'll be using

3:22 I actually think this could be a good setting so you could toggle between abbreviated and normal but i would also separate the 'normal' ones with dots so you dont have to count each one of the numbers to distinguish between millions, thousands, etc.

9:10 I want to view an ORB!

Colon: “Do you ever look at the interfaces in Geometry Dash?” Me: “Uh.. Yeeaaahh! 🤥“

2:14 that is my exact icon

Tbh most of these ideas are very very good. I would love to see most of them in the game. It would really make it look better.

3:53 well maybe if this happened he can make it to where the thumbnails can only come from a frame in the level

8:57 WYS MUSIC LESS GOOOOOOOOOO

0:09 @Sikky when he realizes what is behind the UI 😂👀👀😭☠️

5:41 Or Maybe, Put a uniform logo and you click it; to see the badges! And tap the BAGDES For More Info!
