Agreed.

*UPDATE: THE COINS HAVE BEEN FIXED!!!* RobTop saw my video and just updated Geometry Dash SubZero, fixing EVERY SINGLE coin that I complained about!! I'll probably have to make a follow up video, omg he's an actual gamedev LEGEND (edit: follow up vid - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rtR4m8yf1tzPf2w.html) Press Start 1 - Glow is brighter Press Start 2 - Coin is always visible Press Start 3 - No change(?) Nock Em 1 - Pillar has a different color Nock Em 2 - Key recolored and moved down (nerf) Nock Em 3 - Dotted line added to the wall, added an additional saw challenge (buff) Power Trip 1 - Complete rework, the coin path opens up and is harder to exit Power Trip 2 - Complete rework, hidden orbs reveal a boost to get the coin Power Trip 3 - Is now granted immediately instead of at the end of the level You can find pictures and videos of all the new coins here: twitter.com/TheRealGDColon/status/1546726467710717952

Imagine when he sees the last two coins on Dash💀💀

remember - if you have to use youtube to look up a coin, it's bad. especially since most people are gonna watch advy's videos for coin help.

Honestly, I agree entirely with the points made in this video; the secret coins could have been placed much better in Subzero's levels. I had to look that up to know where the secret coins were, which isn't something I would frequently do. I hope these mistakes aren't in the new 2.2 official levels.

8:09 “I’m looking for a coin that’s fun, *BUT INSTEAD YOU GIVE ME PLATFORM 9¾!”*

2:08 Coming back to this video in 2.2… Colon had a good reason to be worried lol

Favorite part of the video: 11:15 "Maybe the next thing you should work out is better places to put these STUPID YELLOW CIRCLES" ...I died laughing.

The first Nock Em coin is something you'd find in the average New Super Mario Bros U level. Please stop replying the coins have been fixed and frankly I don't even care anymore

“This isn’t some kids secret minecraft base” Best quote of the video change my mind

"I'm comfortable with ANYTHING so long as it's not hidden behind a wall or something stupid like that" ... "✨" [funni kitsune man rage] 3 minutes later "No. NO. Do NOT tell me you fall through this wall..." [funni kitsune man has BIG rage]

Am I the only one who likes the first coin in Power Trip? It's laid out there to tempt you, and provides a puzzle for where the secret is.

The fact that RobTop actually saw this and UPDATED THE COINS is such a flex

I agree with this. When I first played GD Subzero, I was very bad at the game and these coins were a struggle to find and collect. I feel like it wasn't friendly to newer players. Great Video!

NOT SOME KIDS SECRET MINECRAFT BASE! Colon-2022 8:00

Unless you're a Harry Potter fan, I think when Colon said "but instead you give me Platform 9 3/4" flew over your head. (It's because in Harry Potter, to access Hogwarts, you use Platform 9 3/4, which is a train platform that only true wizards can even access.)

never have i ever thought a video about you practically screaming over golden collectible circles in a cube game would be so interesting but here we are

I imagine that spinoffs like subzero, meltdown, and world would be a lot of players first experiences with geometry dash, so having these coins be as non accessible as they are is even more infuriating than it would be in the normal game honestly.

3:37 Fun fact: I actually found this coin by accidentally missing the 2nd orb and I thought I was gonna die but I instinctively just spammed and I got the coin.

11:02 turns out that’s where they actually put the coin in Dash

This video actually makes me change my opinion of Polargeist’s third coin.

I guess Rob’s following in the footsteps of the community and making every single damn coin a chore to get. 2.2 is gonna be great.

"instead you give me platform 9¾"

AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO IS SEARCHING FOR THAT ONE COMMENT WHAT SAYS: "1:02 AAH FURRIE!!! GUYS, HELP HE TACTICAL NUKE HIM!!!" like idk why but it is funny and i have no worlds at the same time i need to talk to this guy seriously💀

5 Stages of grief: 2:08 Denial 5:12 Anger 8:12 Bargaining 10:20 Depression 14:05 Acceptance

YES! I’m so glad I’m not the only one annoyed by the coins in Subzero! Hopefully the coins in the 2.2 levels are better, but I didn’t even consider that the might not be until you mentioned it...

7:58 “NOT SOME KIDS SECRET MINECRAFT BASE” destroyed me 😂

“I’m looking for a coin that’s fun, but instead you give me Platform 9 and 3/4” One of the greatest GD quotes I’ve ever heard

im SO glad that somebody has finally spoken up about coins. i feel like people really struggle with coin routes since they are either completely unknown to the player or just really easy. it should provide a little extra challenge. fully agree with these points, super glad to see this. thank you for talking about this lol

9:32 I have never seen something this incredibly cursed in my entire life

For the two people wondering what the chemical formula at 1:15 is. It's the chemical formula for cellular respiration. (Its in the subtitles)

how ironic that i got an advert for gd before watching this

This video is not only good in explaining the problems in the GD SubZero coins, but it’s good to teach creators on how to properly use coins to make the levels slightly challenging

“How do I put this… ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE!” 😂😂😂 BEST QUOTE EVER CHANGE MY MIND IF U CAN

THATS IT! I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY ANYMORE! THAT'S FIVE COINS WHERE YOU PASS THROUGH WALLS- THAT'S MORE THAN HALF OF THE COINS IN THE GAME!

as a level creator, i usually use those tips into consideration for myself, like how in one of my levels there's a part where you go through a wave section and i put question marks in the indents of some structures within reach and going into those indents will make the entire structure glow, there are 5 of these throughout the wave part and all of them are literally impossible to miss

even though subzero shows the cool features for 2.2, i think it’s a big downgrade compared to the rest of the games, because the levels don’t really flow like the rest of the levels, especially the coins. also the jokes in this video were absolute gold, props to you man

I watched this video for the first time when I was in the hospital, my parents let me watch KZfaq because I was in a bed, laying there for hours and you entertained me, you're the reason that I wasn't bored so big thanks to Colon ❤ If you want to see what happened to me click below. I kept throwing up, I felt like I couldn't eat or drink anything and I had a rash

Colon: Deadlocked is the first level to use a key The seven seas: you didn't have to cut me off

11:20 mom look I made it into a GD Colon video

The first coin in Nock Em has a visual indicator, actually! Did you notice those sparkles on the spikes? Don't worry, I didn't either. But! There's a Sparkle that is just a wee bit too high, and a little greenish, and only appears 2 jumps before you miss it. Very visually obvious and easy to catch.

My ratings. L1 C1: C~ L1 C2: F~ L1 C3: A+ L2 C1: F L2 C2: D L2 C3: F~ L3 C1: F L3 C2: F L3 C3: C~

1:20 I like how Colon wrote the formula for glucose production or photosynthesis in the subtitles instead of a sigh, cool 😅

gonna stream myself on day 1 of 2.2 running into every wall in Explorers and Dash until I find the coins honestly smth abt this video just really gives off that classic GD youtube era like 2017-2019 and i like it a lot, super solid video bro

Colon is actually such a good geometry dash youtuber. Like I could watch these for hours haha

1:20 props to this guy for giving the combustion of glucose (C6H12O6) in the presence of oxygen (O2) to produce carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). This reaction is a simplified representation of cellular respiration, which is a process that occurs in living organisms to produce energy

4:23 HOW BOUT’ WE MAKE IT, MATERIALISE INTO EXISTENCE INSTEAD?!

11:33 buying an android phone to finally obtain the second power trip coin sounds worth it

IMO keys should only be used when the key opens an additional challenge to get the coin, instead of just spawning the coin or opening a wall with the coin inside.

Now that 2.2 is out, the dash coins: 1 is perfect. You see the little green glowing eyes and you’re like “huh, wonder if i hit that” and you get the coin. Really fun and rewarding to figure out. 2 is actually terrible. A slightly different red in an animated fence that also includes a brand new mode? Absolutely horrible. Guaranteed 80%+ looked this one up. 3 is meh. I found it out just from being tap happy, some might have to look this one up.

“BUT INSTED YOU GIVE ME PLATFORM NINE AND THREE QUARTERS”

I have never seen a man be so passionate and critical about penny organization until now good video as always colon!

I feel like this is the video where he screams the most. That doesn't mean I disagree with hidden coins being so bad like, seriously, I can't wait to see where they hid the 2.2 new coins.

That fact that colon ABSOLUTELY DESTROYS RobTop with the gym joke, got me laughing on the floor!!!---- 11:10 to 11:20

10:00 *secret message...*

This actually does make me think about coin placements and game design with collectibles as a whole. Very inspiring, I’ll see what I can do with it. Thank you for the insight

9:43 I actually thought my WiFi was lagging 😂

I personally discovered the third coin by accidentally missing the second yellow orb. Mistakes really make miracles.

11:11 Bro The First Time I Watched This I Was Dying Here

i actually think the 2nd press start coin is not bad. the platform layout looks pretty promising as an alternative route and it wouldnt be an uncommon thought to try skipping the second orb to get a new route, even if you could crash from it

“Instead you give me platform 9 3/4” gotta be the best line in this video

11:15 MAYBE the NEXT thing you should work out is: *B E T T E R P L A C E S T O P U T T H E S E* *S T U P I D* *Y E L L O W* *C I R C L E S !* *-A wise man named colon.*

2022: Geometry Dash Subzero’s Coin Problem One Month Later… Geometry Dash Subzero’s Coin Update

Nock Em 3 DOES have a visual indicator, but you need to be PIXEL HUNTING to see it. There's a very slight loss in glow associated with using fake blocks. That's it. That's the indicator.

The thumping sound Colon made at 10:22 might've been done to sync with the music. It is done right when the song would normally make the second thump.

The second coin in power trip was updated a while ago, if that makes it better. Now you have to click an invisible orb that eventually reveals a second one that helps you get the coin.

Fun fact: in 2.2 robtop actually took you advice and made the subzero coin into what you said kinda…

I've never really sat down and thought about the secret coins in GD. They've always been something that's there, with little impact on the game for me. Sure you collect them to unlock RobTop demons, but you only need 30 out of the 149 present and you could potentially get all of them from Map Packs if you feel like torturing yourself. My favourite secret coins have always been the ones that require something small to get, like the first coin in Electroman or the second coin in Geometrical. So comparing that type of design to the Sub Zero coins, yeah, they aren't designed the best. What's weird about the coins where you smash yourself into a wall to get them is that they were already done perfectly fine in Meltdown. Viking Arena's second coin is just falling in a particular spot, but it's different in that you have a visual indicator on where you're meant to fall with a slightly transparent platform that juts out of the wall. So why not do that exact same thing in Sub Zero? Ultimately I think Sub Zero was designed with the levels first and then Rob suddenly remembered he had to put in secret coins, so threw them in in like 5 minutes, verified that they worked (somewhat) and then sent the games. It would certainly explain why most of them aren't well designed or why Power Trip's second coin is bugged on iOS. Maybe the game itself was rushed out, to meet an arbitrary deadline set by Rob. That would explain why Power Trip feels so empty and why the coins are like that. I do hope the secret coins in 2.2 are in better spots, but judging by the Sneak Peek we got where there's an unnecessary gravity change portal with no secret coin in sight, I'm not too confident that Rob has actually improved his coin placement. Here's to hoping though. UPDATE: While I think the new coins are better, my issues with Power Trip's first and second coin have changed from "It's just smashing yourself into a wall" to "It feels like you're playing an early 2.0 level with constantly moving platforms and invisible orbs."

Ngl I played subzero a few days after it came out and played press start as my first ever gd level. My friend recommended gd subzero as the "best geometry dash" to me. About a week later I found out about the full game and the fact that harder difficulties existed. he doesn't play anymore and My stats have slowly climbed above his. Now I have way better stats and over 10 more demons than him. I looked up to him like he was the best player in the game. I'm hoping one day he cones back.

7:28 someone pooped in his soup💀

Thats a coincidence that the best coins in subzero are located in the best song in the game

Just gonna say, love the PNGtu- i mean the totally not related to anything talk sprites. They add a level of personification to the video almost unimaginable. altough some more angry/indignated sprites would help set the feel a bit better

Did anyone notice at 11:44 the little faces on his shirt is angry

Yay the furst bad coin on nock em is finally indicated when theres a red circle on that hanging platform :D

In Geometry Dash World, When I Opened A Chest, It Had A Poison Shard In It, Before I Had It, I Had -1 Poison Shards, Now It’s Just Gonna Be Harder For The Community To Get Rewards From The Shards, NOW I HAVE 0 SHARDS WHAT WAS THE MEANING? SHOULD I KNOW SOMETHING!? RobTop This Is Just A Glitch, Please Fix It, It Would Be More Nice.

The first coin of Nock em already has a strange but tiny indicator, you could see it in the left of the coin wall that it has a shine effect, not all of the walls have it tho.

3:22 I NEVER KNEW THAT THAT IS SO COOL

You are not a kitsune youre a nine tailed fox jacket wearing chad

OKAY okayokayokay. i've seen you use undertale, omori, celeste and even necrodancer's music. but RHYTHM DOCTOR???? i was gonna joke that you looked into my favorite songs to choose the music for your videos, but rhythm doctor is just WILD the perplexity is getting overshadowed by fear now. help edit: just heard a hat in time now. are you following me?

1:19 Colon: Breathes in The subtitles: *_The chemical formula for cellular respiration_*

8:00 this is one of the most well made example in HISTORY.

1:10 “Still not a furry btw” - Colon

We need a new vid about dash’s coins very bad

I love the Celeste secret reveal sound effect at 7:26

Interesting, I was wondering about this a few days ago when I noticed the amount of coins I had in Subzero, compared to the other GD versions. I clearly remember at some point trying to completely cluelessly find the missing coins in practice mode by crashing against every obstacle I could and just randomly finding coins like that. After a while I just gave up on them x’)

Did you know the first coin in press start it doesn't make the sound but the music put into the level

(I LOVE) GD colgone : HOW ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHERE THE COI IS?!??!!?? Me finding it on accident because i fell because im bad and suddenly a coin and a secret path appears: ummmmm... Well then, free coin. Nice

I never actually knew why the 2nd coin was never collectible on iOS and now I know thanks to this.

Time for Colon to fulfill his promise,Im hyped for the tier list!

10:23 u can really hear the anger in his voice tho

Dash coins had some sort of decent giveaway and was great! Robtop definitely listened

At the first glance I thought this is just a useless hot take on mere secret coins, but this was so well-explained and actually MAKES SENSE, and the fact that this video also gives tips for the other creators on how to create coin routes at the same time. This video is so based, so is Colon.

A little glitch that i found: When i was collecting the first coin in Press Start i think i did a pixel perfect noclip strat and fell through the ground in the coin area and then crashed behind a tiny spike.

Robtop thank you for updating all of these to fix it from these changes

Press start:ok what I crashed into a wall Nock em:RANDOM Power trip:why

I don’t really get why Colon is so cynical about all of this, not on the ranking as I agree with everything, but that he thinks that the placement for secret coins are doomed? Subzero was rushed, 2.2 isn’t (for better or for worst) he’s always put more care into the main levels than he does side game levels

This was absolutely hilarious and informational at the same time.

I'd argue the retro coin sound effect adds a lot more of a hint to the whereabouts of the first coin in Press Start, and then with the missing spikes it's both hidden well and easy to find after having a think or playing in practice mode to search manually

Rob top luckily updated the game and made it slightly better without completely changing the level
