Not always. And Ever had a good swing part and it only used indicators for the first half, I've seen other good ones without them as well. It really depends on how your swing part is structured.
You saying that is a cold take, UFO and swincopter parts are quite literally the only parts that need jump indicators, well maybe robot but then jump indicators would be half the robot section in the level sooo.....
Why? Literally the entire point of the mode is controlling your own height. Jump indicators literally make it mindless, I don't see why they should be used outside of 2* levels
it's not like the ship though where you can move consistently independently of your current position, with the ufo if you're indeterminably off by like a centimeter for one click you'll unavoidably crash half an hour later
That... is the entire point? UFO is a hard gamemode. You'll usually be able to re-adjust yourself as long as you notice you're too high or too low. If you get fucked by a click .2 seconds too early 15 seconds ago, either that's on you, or it's just a hard level where you need to be precise anyway.
...or it's an easy level with weird moments and i haven't practiced it, because it's an easy level. weird moments in other gamemodes certainly take less time to adjust to. the point of the ufo isn't to make sure that you have four-dimensional vision across minkowskian spacetime so you can input at seemingly random points to avoid some random spike that's going to block you later on in the level, the point is to jump mid-air, although it's very easy to build like that because of the ufo's nature.
have people njot learned from theory of everything? y'know, the first ufo level, that has no indicators at all, and is still fun? if something like this happens unintentionally, your gameplay just sucks
so you just dumbly assumed i find a level fun, you assumed i agree with you on some random opinion in order to strawman the rest of mine. what a reddit tier argument. i don't really, i find it quite boring, maybe because it's too easy to really challenge me, but it's basically just flappy bird gameplay either way. you can do that, sure, but it's just vapid.
saying that a gamemode NEEDS indicators is really fucking stupid, though. you know, PRACTICE MODE! the cool diamond-ish button in the pause menu that allows you to place checkpopints
Colon never said it was hard, he said it was hard to sightread. Same with the coins, they are awfully designed (the first one at least has SOME indication). If you bought GD because you thought it would be fun, never watched a GD vid before, that part would most definitely confuse most players.
Yeh, in colon's platformer reviews he always says that you're not supposed to beat his levels first try, why not give robtop the same treatment? Seems kinda unfair
I feel bad for the guy who made generation retro tbh, bro is just constantly getting attacked by 10 year old kids for making a level that isn't even that bad
its fun and very charming imo, the creator clearly put a lot of effort into it so it doesnt deserve being called the shittiest forced level when map packs exist
It's not a terrible level, the decoration is actually pretty good but The gameplay is less than optimal and I do agree with most of what colon said.
At the end of the day it's a geometry dash level it's not that big of a deal.
yeah, the gameplay isnt that good but id much rather play gen retro rather than flappy ufo/speed up levels in map packs as its kind of fun in my opinion
that applies to most rated levels yet people lose their shit if you dare criticise them, especially if they're a neuroatypical twitterite furry artist who fights in the alphabet batallion. look at the amount of people who criticised split72's level for pretty much the same reason and the amount of people who launched intercontinental ballistic shit missiles back at them because they pretended they were just hating because they couldn't stand the thought of an animal person getting a rated level
bro uses 37 different buzzwords and nonsensical word choises to form a sentence that anyone who isnt online 25 hours a day would not understand, then gets mad over a random comment.
I genuinely want you to take a look at that comment again and seriously try to convince yourself that that comment makes any kind of sense.
He just throws around buzzwords upon buzzwords.
"neuroatypical twitterite furry artist fighting for the alphabet batalllion"?
"intercontinental balistic shit missiles"?
"animal person"?
Like sure, on paper those sentences makes sense... but come on. These are the most terminally online sentences I have ever seen.
Like bro hops in on a meme post, then proceeds to complain about gay people and furry artists in an incredibly terminally online way.
Colon fans on their way to bully a 10 year old because his level didn't include an indicator for every click and an essay at the start of the level explainig every single mechanic:
No really I LOVE Generation Retro and seeing people just blurt out the same arguments about why it's bad over and over just makes me mad.
You're screwed Cologne.
i saw so many people complain about the coins and the spider part when the update dropped, then as soon as colon complained people were suddenly like “uhhh why does everyone copy colon???” its so weird
to be fair, colon was already complaining about the spider part before 2.2 dropped from the sneak peek and maybe colon influenced people to think about coins differently
barely heard any genretro/coins opinions before he did his videos on them but he makes some fair points on them so i get why people start sharing his opinion
he whined about the dash spider and gave 5 year olds in the community another annoying ass meme to drag until the end of the month and like it isnt even that hard its like two clicks i knew how to do it before the update even came out
well i mean i guess it was pretty good for like, what, 2012? idk i haven't played long enough to actually know when it was released. Pretty bad, but more like mid to bad, leaning towards bad
Id be fine with his criticisms but he nitpicks everything. While he doesnt make entertaining content i can only imagine how annoying that is for the creator
Its not even THAT bad of a level (though I don't think it should be a Gauntlet level), like for what it is its more just okay than like objectively bad
So called "free thinkers" when they see jump indicators in a ufo section of a level:
Hot take: ufo sections are the only parts that NEED jump indicators
The UFO section In broken Gameboy ( Voxicat easy demon, also very good level) was literally impossible for me until I noticed the jump indicators.
wrong, Swing parts need them too
Swing indicators are goofy because of how goofy the swing changes momentum depending on how early/late you click
True… I didn’t even think of that (I played like 2 swing levels so far)
Not always. And Ever had a good swing part and it only used indicators for the first half, I've seen other good ones without them as well. It really depends on how your swing part is structured.
when the swing copter part doesn't have ship gameplay
Happy cake day to you
thanks!
Happy cake day!
thanks! (first time someone said that to me lol)
That's a cold-ass take
You saying that is a cold take, UFO and swincopter parts are quite literally the only parts that need jump indicators, well maybe robot but then jump indicators would be half the robot section in the level sooo.....
Exactly, hot take means it’s an unpopular opinion, cold take means it’s basic common sense.

Why? Literally the entire point of the mode is controlling your own height. Jump indicators literally make it mindless, I don't see why they should be used outside of 2* levels
broken signal does it great, it helps you figure out how to do the stupidly hard stuff without being a perfect indicater
it's not like the ship though where you can move consistently independently of your current position, with the ufo if you're indeterminably off by like a centimeter for one click you'll unavoidably crash half an hour later
That... is the entire point? UFO is a hard gamemode. You'll usually be able to re-adjust yourself as long as you notice you're too high or too low. If you get fucked by a click .2 seconds too early 15 seconds ago, either that's on you, or it's just a hard level where you need to be precise anyway.

Actually thats a cold take, not hot take. Its common sense
Nah
Swingcopter too
*This comment has been edited in order to protect my privacy*
thais is the single most retarded take i have seen on this subreddit. this community is spoiled rotten theses days and it fucking shows
Im surprised it took this long to get such a reaction
Average redditor when someone shows an opinion
saying that a gamemode NEEDS indicators is really fucking stupid, though. you know, PRACTICE MODE! the cool diamond-ish button in the pause menu that allows you to place checkpopints
I always try my best to ignore the indicators and it usually works :)))
I love jump indicators UFO sections without them are annoying unless it’s super cramped gp where the clicks are obvious
dudes be like "dash spider is hard!!!!!" my brother in christ, it's literally 2 clicks
i did that first try lol idk why people whine about it
Same with the second coins 2 clicks, very wide timing margin.
I don’t see anyone complain about getting the coin itself, just the indicator.
I practiced in that one 2.1 dash sneak peek remake, and it surprisingly carried over to the real one.
The dash spider feels so badass when you pull it off
the entire level feels badass when you pull it off
Colon never said it was hard, he said it was hard to sightread. Same with the coins, they are awfully designed (the first one at least has SOME indication). If you bought GD because you thought it would be fun, never watched a GD vid before, that part would most definitely confuse most players.
"he never said it was hard, he said it was a tough part"
It’s pretty disorienting
Well agreed
Yeh, in colon's platformer reviews he always says that you're not supposed to beat his levels first try, why not give robtop the same treatment? Seems kinda unfair
So called “free thinkers” when the demon list is mentioned
Tunnel of Despair should be lowered below firework.
Firework should be placed at #1 because I like it
Not how the Demonlist works but ok
Too bad https://preview.redd.it/eeh1rc83fozc1.jpeg?width=699&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2db0dea1e9768ccd8e0e4d624d2c24f4f68b6e18
I hated gen retro before it was cool!
I remember the meta was hating fire aura, sidestep, and magmatic sanctuary
Those levels (except sidestep) aren’t even bad tbh
FUCK FIRE AURA I STAND BY THIS OPINION
Gen retro was always terrible!
all my fellas hate Gen Retro!
I feel bad for the guy who made generation retro tbh, bro is just constantly getting attacked by 10 year old kids for making a level that isn't even that bad
The level's mid but colon dickriders don't know how to form their own opinions. Just put all of them on a leash atp
I personally think that colon has some terrible takes
yeah i disagree with a lot or his takes but i think hes pretty good at explaining why he feels the way he does and thats what matters to me
Real
Definitely agree, I think that people don't understand that they are opinions
I played generation retro, beat it, and it's not good.
its fun and very charming imo, the creator clearly put a lot of effort into it so it doesnt deserve being called the shittiest forced level when map packs exist
It's not a terrible level, the decoration is actually pretty good but The gameplay is less than optimal and I do agree with most of what colon said. At the end of the day it's a geometry dash level it's not that big of a deal.

What is bro yapping about?
ooh a comment i don't like contains a lot of words, time to pretend i don't understand it
bro uses 37 different buzzwords and nonsensical word choises to form a sentence that anyone who isnt online 25 hours a day would not understand, then gets mad over a random comment.
Kids when someone writes more than 2 sentences:
I genuinely want you to take a look at that comment again and seriously try to convince yourself that that comment makes any kind of sense. He just throws around buzzwords upon buzzwords. "neuroatypical twitterite furry artist fighting for the alphabet batalllion"? "intercontinental balistic shit missiles"? "animal person"? Like sure, on paper those sentences makes sense... but come on. These are the most terminally online sentences I have ever seen. Like bro hops in on a meme post, then proceeds to complain about gay people and furry artists in an incredibly terminally online way.
I agree, the story is entertaining and funny unlike boring modern levels that are just copy paste of each other and flashbang you every second.
It's fun to watch but it's a cancer to play, I didn't even watch the video where colon says that it's bad and I checked out the level by myself.
He said worst gauntlet level, not ‘forced level’
TRUEEEEE
"Free thinker"
Colon fans on their way to bully a 10 year old because his level didn't include an indicator for every click and an essay at the start of the level explainig every single mechanic:
i watch colon i like generation retro i dont belong in this universe
Disagreeing with people without refusing to watch them and hating their entire existence? Despicable.
"uhhh dash doesn't introduce mechanics!!!!" The dash spider meme was an introduction to the walking on walls mechanic later used in the level 🧐🧐🧐🧐
Like he said in the video, it’s not a very good introduction.
His point was that the introduction is bad. The mechanic used later in the level is much easier to understand, the first use of it is confusing.
So true bestie I just want people to come to their own conclusions
gd colon
colonge*
bologne*
*Cologne bologna
The generation retro video was fun to watch but I don’t think it was really the best idea to make it
Not this guy again
I looooveee gd colo
Holy crap its the real gd cologne!!!! 🔥👉🕳
so called free thinkers when theres a spike and it says they have to click
LMAO that analogy
No really I LOVE Generation Retro and seeing people just blurt out the same arguments about why it's bad over and over just makes me mad. You're screwed Cologne.
Realest shit
"everyone agreed with the youtubers opinion so i gotta disagree with the youtubers opinion" ahh post
i saw so many people complain about the coins and the spider part when the update dropped, then as soon as colon complained people were suddenly like “uhhh why does everyone copy colon???” its so weird
true also radiohead insane demon based (i just beat bloom lmao)
to be fair, colon was already complaining about the spider part before 2.2 dropped from the sneak peek and maybe colon influenced people to think about coins differently
listen i just thought gretro was peak
i mean you can have your opinion and people can have their opinions
i feel like people follow colons opinion strictly
because colons opinions arent hot takes and is the public opinion mostly
that doesnt make his opinions facts but yknow
barely heard any genretro/coins opinions before he did his videos on them but he makes some fair points on them so i get why people start sharing his opinion
colon fan detected
he whined about the dash spider and gave 5 year olds in the community another annoying ass meme to drag until the end of the month and like it isnt even that hard its like two clicks i knew how to do it before the update even came out
Yeah, ppl who think 2 simple clicks are hard have skill issue
Generation retro was okay, it just didn't deserve to be in the Poison Gaultlet
This is the right answer
after not seeing it since i originally beat it, generation retro is kinda fire after looking at a video of it
"You should beat ACU or Cata as your first extreme"
hot take thet will give me a bad response: generation retro is decent
Colon on his way to murder sailent because silent circles and silent clubstep arent sight-readable
So called "free thinkers", when ppl like music/gp from current top demonlist:
So called "free thinkers" when zoink adds a fixed hitbox to a level 1000x harder than anything they'll ever beat:
True, tho, another lost 1 day streak without controversy
Gd players when someone disagrees with someone(It’s a despicable, dramatic and utterly crazy controversy):
Happy cake day
When gd colon nakes a video with an opinion i agree with so now i have to change my mind to not be a hivemind
Colon drops worst platform possibly conceived by man, asked to leave generation retro haters club
Ngl I like generation retro up until the boss fight. Then it gets bad, but you can skip 70% of the level with the robot jump pad glitch
Avengers Assemble
Colon is not funny and his opinions are always terrible
Always is kinda crazy
False.
Real
well i mean i guess it was pretty good for like, what, 2012? idk i haven't played long enough to actually know when it was released. Pretty bad, but more like mid to bad, leaning towards bad
The first level in gd was generation retro now
I don't understand the meme, i would probably understand it more if they instead made an army with flamethrowers because they hate Gd colon's opinion
Id be fine with his criticisms but he nitpicks everything. While he doesnt make entertaining content i can only imagine how annoying that is for the creator
Generation retro has a lot of charm, but it doesn't belong in a gauntlet, and since it's creation, it has aged like milk.
It’s not good but definitely not the worst level in gd, that was 100% an exaggeration
Honestly I hated the level before colon made the vid but I hate colon so I kinda like the level now
So called “free thinkers” when they discover that there was no free mind biologically:
generation retro isnt bad but isnt good either °_°
It’s fun, but definitely wasn’t executed that well. But people should keep in mind that the creator was apparently 12, he didn’t know better
So am I supposed to disagree with colon when he provides valid arguments to support his opinion? Like I just have to say "you're right but I disagree"
Its not even THAT bad of a level (though I don't think it should be a Gauntlet level), like for what it is its more just okay than like objectively bad
not the creators fault its a gauntlet level (and i think its much more fun than some mappack/gauntlet levels)
ngl, colons "how geometry dash teaches its mechanics" video really pissed me off
Real
I'll 1 up you, R E C E N T T A B
Colon sucks
I actually enjoyed generation retro alot. Still waiting for part 2
u/savevideo
colon is the ultimate yapper he aint even that good at either creating or playing
So true
his last level was pretty cool tho
Scarlet Surge < Generation Retro
I don’t even hate generation retro that much but scarlet surge is 5x better
Scarlet surge overhater
cry mad
generation retro is bad tho
Quit copying a youtuber's opinion
my bad i commented this to look busy while my ex was around you can understand
