    *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 - czcams.com/video/xnHhinqvkO8/video.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

    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.

    The first press start coin should have been shown by a hole in the wall. I know it's already changed, but if there was just a broken part of the wall (facing the camera) revealing just the coin, people would wonder if that gap in the spikes leads to that coin. I know Rob already added the glow that Colon mentioned, but I think just revealing the coin's location is better

  • @LeoYoshi54321
    @LeoYoshi54321 Před rokem +167

    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."

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.
