gd cologne speaks fluent yapanese

Great video cologne! :), i agree with every- 😃 thing that you say- 👋 yed and for your ☺☺ ☺ info. I think dash is a great level, and i agree with ur opinion with the spider part. it should be fixed!, and i loved ur jokes in this video!, hope you continue making these awesome videos!

33:45 Not only does Dash NOT have a UFO part, but it doesn’t even have a dual part! Even if you factor in the 3 spinoff games, there is NO single level that uses the Dual portal since it was introduced in Hexagon Force. In fact the dual portal only shows up in 3 levels in the ENTIRETY of the official and spinoff games where the dual portal shows up, and only ONE level in which it is used in an interesting way. Something tells me that Mulpan was behind this. The dual portal is even less used than the UFO portal.

87:12:39 the best part where gd cologne finally finishes talking about the first frame of the level

Colon is like that one literature teacher that over analyses literally everything, but if you asked the creator, they'd just say they thought it was cool.

That camera work on your fix for the tower was actually pretty good! I like the tilt at the part before the wave mode portal. It felt like some sort of pulse.😄

13:33 People who used the 2.2 gdps Server:"Its so ____ing easy :/" People who never used the 2.2 gdps, and never knew knew what a spider is, and stuff:"WTF IS THIS"

One thing I’m sure of about Dash: it expects you to have played custom levels before, not just only official levels. That’s how I feel Dash was designed.

To me, Dash isn’t just a level, it’s Robtop’s statement. It’s him realizing that in between 6 years people have took the same game and advanced it way beyond what he ever could. If it feels like he’s throwing everything at the wall, it’s because he is, and it’s him saying “here’s a whole ton of things you can do now, go nuts.” And when the level says “Geometry Dash” it’s his “yeah, this is the new norm” moment. It’s him going “This is Geometry Dash now, and it’s wild. Enjoy it.” And thank you for coming to my TED talk.

I love hearing your thoughts on levels

There is one more hint for the first coin, in the first part before you go into the spider there is a sign pointing right,when you pass it shows a green skull indicating that you have to click on the last block on the block part

No way Colon made a video dedicated to the first spider part in Dash how cool!

I was NOT expecting that Dash spider in The Challenge

Colon: Says "Thats Dash and all I have to say about it." Also Colon: keeps yapping for 3 more minutes.

Quick thing: with the ball part after the *spider* you CAN actually miss the portal in 2 ways, it’s just hard to time and I got it on my first try of it, and was super confused. 1) you stay as a ball and get sent at Mach 10 into your death 2) you get turned into a cube… and also get sent to your death at Mach 10

I swear next he’s gonna make an two hour long video about the fact that it doesn’t say “2.2 is coming october” after the bossfight in the sewers

Evil colon be like: the spider part is clear and concise, an example of how to make gameplay

i love all the parts of dash, so i dont really agree with you on most of this, but i can definitely agree with you on those last 2 coins. the 2nd coin just cant be found for a select few, and that really isnt THAT much of a problem, but it's still an easy fix. the 3rd coin is just obviously stupid though. the first coin i loved because it was sorta like a puzzle. i sat in practice mode to try and figure out how to get that, and i actually never saw the skeleton's eyes turn green, i saw those squares right above the coin. it felt really nice to figure it out, and now i guess it really isnt too interesting, but i still loved it. i feel like a main part of geometry dash is just memory, that is what practice mode is for, and then you put your skills and knowledge to the test in normal mode, so i dont really see a problem with there being no indicators as to like what portals would change or if you will go sideways on a wall, like most of those can just be memorized super easily.

15:05 the mini potions was added because mini portals clashed with the levels style and would look weird getting crushed by the spikes also im pretty sure when we hits the red pad it will already give us an idea what it does also I think the f block should be visible and have the same green glow in dash since it would be perfect easy to make and people would know what to do

1:52 "this is by far the quickest transition in any official level" Deadlocked mini wave: and I took that personally

Colon probably feeling like Oppenheimer after all the spider memes

No one talking about the chapters like "class dismissed" and "TTTTTTHHHHHHHEEEEEE SSPPPPIIIIIDDDDEEERRR part" Btw I love your edited dash level, it's unbelievably good. Its kinda tricky for a mobile noob like me tho. But it's probably because I have a skill issue like you mentioned. Anyway keep up the good work :)

I love how rob saw your video on how to fix the subzero coins and went ahead to do this.

8:06 feels like that scene in a movie where a character is having a nightmare where their worst fear keeps appearing before them

8:06 Colon has officially introduced the new Dash Spider Jumpscare Edit: I absolutely did not expect this meme to blow up

I love how you remade the tower part of the level!

The F block may feel weird for newer players, but a good use for F blocks would be for hold levels where you can use F blocks and put a text saying that you need to hold. It could be used in a way to make interesting drops without abusing blue pads or portals, otherwise, why did he add it? To just take up another slot in the editor?

I feel like the ending of Dash is just a set up for Explorers, maybe Dash and Explorers are a connected level and Dash is just the first half of a tower. The deco is kinda similar after all.

can't wait to spend 4 hours of my life watching from colon ranting about a pixel in the background

In the part where he mentions Super Mario World, the part of dash he was talking about was remade within the game. It's the little details that count.

23:55 “The four geometry’s lived in peace, until one day, the Sub Zero geometry attacked!”

I love the fact that In all the constructive criticism and talking, he somehow managed to congregate a congregation jumpscare, without even raising any suspicion. Truly great editing, 10/10 A tier transition

75:23:44 is the best part, because its where colon finally stops yapping about a pixel in the background that serves as no gameplay mishap or change. but fr tho, great video and i'd love to see this again with explorers, when it (eventually) comes out!

Ah, I see where this is going now! You're referring to a specific instance within the "Geometry Dash" community, where the popular KZfaqr GD Colon highlighted a particularly tricky or unexpected part of a level, leading to widespread memes and discussions among players. This moment involves a gameplay mechanic or a section of a level that's unexpectedly challenging or counterintuitive, such as navigating a spider through a tight space with little visual cue, which then sparks the question of its sight-readability-essentially, whether a player can successfully navigate it on their first try without prior knowledge. The reference to chess, "is this chess move sightreadable?" humorously elevates the discussion, comparing the strategic foresight needed in chess to the quick reflexes and pattern recognition required in "Geometry Dash." It's a playful way the community engages with the game's challenges, turning a frustrating or surprising gameplay moment into a shared joke or meme. These discussions and memes not only highlight the communal culture around "Geometry Dash" but also showcase how players collectively navigate and make sense of the game's most daunting challenges.

The end part with the brass instruments in music is fire

love how colon can turn a one minute 36 second level into a 42 minute essay

This meme really is one of the best memes. It's funny how people from diffe- rent comm- unities unite together to make this meme this big. And I think there's beauty in that. This is truly one of the moments that I realize the beauty of humanity despite obvious flaws. I really look forward to what this meme will grow into and the memes that will come after.

6:27 the spider part clearly shows tiny green arrows to show you where you go Edit: yesterday I found about the newest update that my friend told me, so i tried levels but leaved them for tommorow/today, I beated this level (dash) today, took me 10 minutes or more

I want to point out the fact that when you go into the wall in the spider part, where you go sideways for the first time, you just die… because when you hit a sideways walk twice, you immediately stop living: “logic”

8:05 and so, a new meme was born

I think people complain about the lack of decoration in the second half of the level because it's much less diverse than the first half. While in the intro you have a lot of variety in the textures used for the blocks, in the second half they mostly stay the same. For example in that ship part, the spikes that you have to fly through appear on tall, identical pillars that take up the entire screen. Some more visual diversity would've been welcome, I think. It just looks too gray. There's also basically no ground deco while it was a big part of the start of the level.

This is the most I have ever enjoyed watching someone yap for 42 minutes

Your videos are so rewatchable

IMO, the ending of Dash is a transition to the Tower, where the player will likely go next. This is reinforced by the fact that you seem to start in some kind of forest, then progress into a temple, and then find a secret way (omg geometry dash reference) leading to a... closed room, that you end up opening by counting to 3 backwards. When you finally break the wall, you see the mechanisms behind the temple that end up opening the entrance to the Tower.

can't wait for the 20 minute essay about introducing the arrow trigger after the drop instead of the second spider part

the dash spider part and what i like about it: number 1, and thats all the things i like about the dash spider part :)

Thanks, I have learnt something new from the Challenge.

30:37 "How am I supposed to figure out that coin unless I have like ADHD or something" -mindcap's reaction to this coin

Dash is like the prequel to the tower with that ending, since your basically entering it

Great video! I loved it all!

38:30 I was under the impression that this WAS the entrance to the tower. Perfectly transitioning into the platforming levels.

Honestly the fact that you made a 40 minute video on a geometry dash level that takes only 1.5 minutes to complete really shows how much you love this level and it's potential. Constructive feedback is always important when it comes to anything, and I personally love how in-depth this video is. Can't wait for the 20 hour video on the Tower blue coins

33:02 Omg the cut to Doc's perimeter took it out for me, I've been watching a buncha Hermitcraft recently and didn't expect that sorta reference here lol.

I think I know why there is a gravity portal covering the spider portal, So there could've been a coin planned and it would make you go upside down so they probaly forgot to take out the gravity portal after they changed it

79:55:40 the part where cologne speaks abt the second nanosecond of the level

18:50 - RobTop probably made the portal look like that because of the shader effect right after. Since the portal looks like flames, the shader effect gives the impression of heat on your camera. But that's still not a reason to hide 4 portals at once....

15:42 geometry challange

I don’t remember ordering a yappachino

Dash is easily the best official level. But with that being said, 42 whole minutes of Dash gave me a brain aneurysm.

I think that the spider part is there to make newbies scared and go back to their level that they are actually on Like how deadlocked uses wave in a really scary way

25:45 I hope you were meaning to say the Fingerdash ship section was the exception, because it might be the most decorated part of any level pre-2.2!

Colon is gonna get therapy after he's done reviewing Explorers

12:37 here i think the indicator supposed to mean "4 yellows and then 1 red" instead of "you've done 4/5" 22:48 i'm not a big fan of making the coin area tighter, because in the current state it's a really smooth swoop you can do without extra clicks which feels really satisfying overall great video, had fun watching it

I can completely agree that coins have changed from skill to finding a little miss decoration in the level

People: *Finish dash with all coins after finish the other levels* Me: My first level that has all coins and i beat it before time machine!

2:49 for the castle blocks on the right, the ones used in dash (in the 321 part) are the type of middle blocks you should use.

12:29 I think there’s actually an extra 5th hint: The arrow sign you pass by at the start of the level falls off, revealing a green skull on the sign. This is probably hinting at the pulsing green skull block you need to hit later

"What do you think about Dash?" Aeon: It's cool! Colon: **enter old tv static**

I like the part that the portal teleports you to the quite room and GEOMETRY DASH

9:22 yo I agree with almost all in this video to an extent, but I think the 3 arrow speed dash orb is actually REALLY SMART in terms of game design. Since it has become so common in custom levels, I think it sets players up to start on harder levels and even easy demons, which is what the last level of the game should do for its respective update imo. I think it’s a fairly seamless introduction Aswell.

27:21 that’s the least thing I expected

I remember when you initially talked about the part where you hit the blocks that you didn’t like it… well, things sure do change in the span of a few years!

I love that you used the Soundtrack "Scarlet Forest" (i think its called) :3 i just adore Delatrune/Undertale Music

33:35 Cologne here starts talking about how the UFO is getting less use in official levels. But what other mechanic has robtop been skipping out on? DUAL! I only know TWO official levels with the dual, hex force and blast processing. I thought someone would be able to point that out but I haven’t seen anyone discuss it.

40:06 "is dash a good level?" "i dunno, you tell me." This is a real GD Cologne moment

colon: im gonna stop complaining about stupid things also colon: continues complaining about dumb things

I'm pretty sure the reason why there is a gravity portal before the confusing spider part is that i'm pretty sure that the first coin was originally planned to be located at the top of the screen which made use of the gravity portal.

27:12 is the Best Part in the Video. Colon Truly Speaks a Fact Here. MOMMY I'M F_ F_ F_ . . FIRE IN THE HOLE 🕳🔥

Great video, love how you put Doc's hermitcraft s9 base at 33:03

Holy moly my guy has a LOOT to say, he explains every detail and little think better than my professorsbat university (not lying at all here). I only watched 2 or 3 of your videos before btw.

9:19. I think its good that they added the ball there cause the tiny detail of the ball spinning makes it better

If you always feel useless, remember that "Multi trigger" option on end trigger exist.

The reason I'm excited for a new GD Colon video far more than any other ytber is because of these things: *1:* The videos are long but they never get boring; the script's info and humour never falls off and neither does the editing. *2:* His personality: he is a nit-picky and sorta perfectionist and doesn't hide it and that's why we all like him. And *3:* His videos don't leave you empty like shorts or tiktok; what he says adds value to the viewer and you are actually a smarter person at the end. Edit: MORE Things. *4:* He addresses his FLAWE and changes. He said he'll be more positive and he has been a lot more in this video but he is still keeping his criticism side. *5:* He elaborates on all of his concerns and criticism so that even if you do not agree with it, you see his POV and valid reason not to like the part. Colon, if you're reading this, NEVER change.

idk how i didn't realize this but with the second pillar at the start is another hint for the first coin you get revealed a green skull on a sign and the arrow points down

wow what a cool guy! i wonder what his thoughts on the second spider part in dash is!

Your ability to talk for 42 minutes about a 1:30 level and have it be interesting the entire time is why I will always love this channel

(38:44) The skulls symbolizes Rattle Dash so the end of Dash is actually the Rattle Dash ending because the level is dedicated to Rattle Dash, which is also why the level shares his last name. Rattle Dash is love and Rattle Dash is live.

20:08 how did that sync so well

I really enjoyed the insight of how to fix the first spider part at 95:52:04

What a great video colon!!!! I honestly think this was a perfect mix between criticisms and positive things you like about the level. I know you always think you're being too negative but this was a really good balance. And even though its 42 minutes long, I don't know why but I never felt like it dragged on. And all the bits where you show off whats going on behind the scenes or suggestions for improvements were done really well. Congrats on finishing such a long video, have a nice break after this lol 👍

35:05 Ironically for me, the cube before the buildup part is a music sync that I really love in the level

using the icon files, I made the default spider into a screenshot of the dash spider part with legs

This level was really cool until after the 3-2-1 square room where apparantly my phone was too slow to run the rest of the level

33:28 colon we get it you like that cycles coin

COLON WHAT HAVE YOU DONE COLON NOOO

I love it how he says everything needs something or remove somthing

Colon, I think the reason behind the fire looking portal is the rise of temperature, because in the 2nd swing gamemode it's all fiery.

27:42 this happens depending on the headphones/speaker that you're using. If you're using dollar store earphones or your phone speakers then you're almost not gonna hear anything. But if you're using stuff like a good pair of headphones then you can hear and even feel it. I believe this is called sub bass which is the bass you can feel (when incredibly low) but I may be wrong on that

I like your idea with the third coin being "reeled in". I think that on top of that, the coin could be fixed from a gameplay perspective if the "chain" that reels it in breaks and drops it if you press too many times, making the part more precise so you don't just spam it. It might still be a little easy but I think it'd be a big improvement from the current difficulty
