DECAY - a Geometry Dash platformer
Vložit
- čas přidán 7. 06. 2024
- After 2 months of basically non-stop grinding, this project is finally done! This is probably my best level to date, and it's definitely the most connection I've felt to a level, ever. Even if long platformers aren't your cup of tea, I hope you can enjoy the effort I've put into the experience itself :) It's also pretty easy, I tried to make it accessible to everyone regardless of skill level. It also has a strong LDM if the lag is too much. Go play it!

/!\ SPOILER WARNING /!\
Easter eggs/ lore bits for those who missed them:
- 0:00 Secret quote
- 0:07 Ruby Butterflies fluttering around, strong foreshadowing
- 0:14 "Let there be Light" are the first words spoken by God in the Bible. Parody of the Myth of Creation.
- 1:50 You can see other unhatched larvae, like you but without the power to move around
- 1:58 "Krzaczek" is "Little Bush" in Polish. Thank @PiferPaferOfficial :)
- 2:11 Not a typo, the man is a wizzard (he's got 2 Zs on his hat). Discworld reference.
- 2:13 The wizzard contemplates telling you to give a message to his wife who lives in Summit Hills, but decides against it as it could put her in danger.
- 3:42 The wizzard's son.
- 6:37 Geometry Dash reference in Geometry Dash omgg
- 10:05 the headline on the newspaper reads "STORM", foreshadowing the important event
- 11:16 The Butterfly symbol is inscribed on the wall
- 11:17 the tiny print in the "Trust Our Mages" sign reads "miracles not guaranteed. Some incantations may require the client to be at least 18 years of age. Wishing responsibly is encouraged" Also the man in the picture could be the wizzard when he was younger, as the banner is already a bit withered.
- 11:48 The text on the fountain reads "in memoriam", with a triple spike below. In memory of Michigun.
- 14:46 The wizzard's wife, explains how his husband was thought to have been murdered by the authorities of Summit Hills, who don't allow wizards to have children. The wizzard and his son fled to the swamps to avoid capture.
- 18:32 The symbol of the Ruby Butterfly is again inscribed on the grave. This is tradition for the people of Summit Hills, who view the Ruby Butterfly as a "symbol of vitality in our culture" (12:56)
- 18:39 Since everyone thought the witch was crazy, her teachings were not passed on to her grandson.
- 19:11 This isn't a real place, but a figment of your mind. Particles of decaying matter are scattered around, and the rain mirrors the rain outside.
20:12 The Butterfly Symbol appears yet again throughout the credits.
How many did you notice? ;)
Nothing lol. I just wonder if the ending is real.
Oooo... Thank you, I just noticed it now...
This is a such amazing masterpiece! Good job man, robbed mythic I think
пещ
выдал базу
Мда, стоило только написать ретроману, как тут же набежала шкила 💀
GD creators keep making peak fiction every time 😭🙏 this better get a mythic
Legendary is pretty good too I think
@@vegtam2869yeah but not enough
@@luvv909tbh i can see this getting legendary, the problem is the towerverse getting mythic
@@RinkieGeintie yh
@@luvv909it most definetly is enough lol the levep is good but not THAT good, too many cycles for one.
This NEEDS to get a sequel
I love how he implies "powerd by geometry dash" so people won't mistake that this is a random indie game made by unity
GD was made on Cocos2D-x, not on Unity
The trigger orbs seem too out of place to think it's a random indie game
@@Antifusion49702 a game engine was made on a game engine? that's crazy
6:37 Base after base jumpscare😭😭😭
Just kidding
Phenomenal platformer!
I thought I was hallucinating and going insane once i heard it
as a pole i just wanted to say: thank you for the polish wizard! polish gd community is not that big so seeing someone doing a litteral character that calls the protagonist "krzaczek" in one of the best levels EVER was just something different
thank you
robtop will be so evil if he won't give this masterpiece a mythic rating
Robtop is so evil
He gave it Legendary
guys how do we tell him?
I love when it says "powered by GD" to let you know that this is not made with a game engine
Bold of you to assume gd is not a game engine
@@SandboxerSandy😂
Some of the best worldbuilding I've seen in any game ever, _LET ALONE_ a Geometry Dash level. The story and message are amazing as well, that twist at the end REALLY caught me off-guard. It truly is inconcievable just how much this silly little mobile game allows people to express their ideas and let their creativity run rampant. There's something so inspiring about it.
In conclusion... *Mythic doesn't deserve this level.*
''From the start, it was a lie, wasn't it? I was made to not get Mythic, all along... *I WAS NOTHING BUT A JOKE TO YOU, WAS I?! WELL ''DIVINE MODERATORS,'' IF YOU EVEN EXIST: I HAVE JUST ONE THING TO SAY TO YOU-''*
I think Robtop was just jealous lol
If this level doesn’t get mythic, I will sell my eyeballs. I’m not joking, this is leagues above The Towerverse and if the aura circling that stupid yellow, red or pink circle with eyes and a mouth happens to be pink and inanimate, MY EYES WILL BE ON EBAY FOR $2
You shouldn't do that, sell them for more and bribe robtop with the money :D
How about $2000000, RobTop could definitely use some new eyes if this level doesn’t get mythic lol
Bye bye to your eyeballs
@@robianny I mean it got legendary so maybe only one is enough?
@@vegtam2869 ahahahahaah no. Im buying both. You don't know how much an eyeball is worth, do you? These are real valuable to my collection
This level is too good to be judged by legendary or mythic
“wow” rating
Holy shit, Vegtam...
I know this will probably be buried in the other comments, but just, thank you for making this.
This is the first GD level to ever make me feel something deep since SAVE AS
And that was for personal reasons. THIS? I had no attachment to it in the beginning. It just built a world that's so interesting and complex and I found myself in awe, rooting for the little creature to succed in his mission
And then the ending hit me like a truck in the stomach. It was perfect
This is surely a new favorite level, and one I genuinely cannot stop thinking about
You outdid every other level in the whole game by a landslide with ease
Again, thank you Vegtam for the unforgettable experience. Truly, whimsycal, my friend
Thank you so much for the kind words ❤ it warms my heart to see how some people have found my level so meaningful
@@vegtam2869 thank you for the outstanding level and the response dude ❤️
When i played this and got to about half i forgot that it was geometry dash and i sais ti myself "Wait, when did i download this game?"
Seriously tho this is a masterpiece. Might need a new rating. "Flawless"
What a beautiful story, like a shortfilm! That's masterpiece, thank you for that level, is forever in GD history now❤️🦋
I am not going to lie and be completely honest here.
This is, in my opinion, the absolute best of wbat geometry dash as a whole has to offer right now.
Not White Space, not any other legendaries or mythics, not Castlemania, Change of Scenes, or Mastergame.
THIS is truly the peak of this game in its current state. In terms of Artistry at the very least.
👏👏👏👏 Bravo. Brilliantly done. To say I was blown away by this would be an understatement.
1:56 As a Polish Person i started reading that in thick Polish accent
Krzaczek is a hero we don't deserve ❤
Played this level over the weekend. Nothing short of phenomenal.
One criticism I have is that you spam checkpoints everywhere where I don't believe they're needed, especially in the first part. If you spaced them out a little bit it would make the progression better. This is probably the reason why it didn't get mythic (that and the lag when you first released this).
But despite that small complaint, THIS IS AMAZINGLY FANTASTIC! Genuinely great story, gameplay, visuals, and messages. Shed a tear after this. You told me this was an indie game, I’d be live you.
I find this level way more intriguing than Quarion. Although it shouldn’t be a competition and you’ve said yourself that you prefer Quarion, it’s a huge shame that this didn’t get mythic as well
Idc what they say, this level is the one which deserved to be the first mythic.
Imagine playing your favorite game and you see the level complete screen from geometry dash
I can’t un see the bush looks like among us. Very good should deserved to be mythic but rip (I tear a little smal bit of tear at the end)
I have no words to describe this masterpiece
You're worth being subscribed!
Está bellísimo felicidades tremenda obra maestra ❤
I love good kid songs, also everything everything is one of my fav songs of good kid
You are insanely talented, I can’t wait to check this level out :)
Absolutely perfect flatformer level! Congratulations on the Legendary rating!
OMGG this is SPECTACULAR vegtam, Love your work!!❤
MYTHICCCC
Congratulations! Definitely a beautiful level! 😸
Awesome level man! I loved playing this one. Keep up the good work! :)
this is wonderful, great work!
I watched it full! What a epicness entire story and masterpiece! I loved the characters design! Levels designs and the entire enviroment (the elaborated city remind me how elaborated and sofisticated its the pig city from angry birds xD)
20:00 and pretty nice final message! We actually need lessons like that!
Be proud of your project masterpiece because its totally worthy at all!
LOL I should've put angry birds in the "inspired by" section, just to confuse people
One of the best levels in the game great job to you 👏
oh my lordy lord
PC players: it's the best level in GD!
Mobile players: it's the best Power Point presentation in GD!
And now seriously:
You should optimize your level well. When I played it I had a question: "why does it lag? It doesn't have hyper realistic textures?". Optimize your level and after it write to any moderator and ask for mythic rating. I think lags are the most important reason for underrating this level. I hope you will get your deserved rating if you work with this problem. Btw amazing level!
It lags because of the pixel custom-tailored backgrounds. LDM removes them, and I can't optimise significantly further without removing core mechanics of the level. I choose originality over some people not playing with lag.
Edit: I completely fixed the lag by accident lol
So much underrated. Incredible work
The end was so beautiful and inspiring, playing this level was such an experience :)
I haven't been this overly impressed over a level since WHAT by Spu7nix. I hope this gets the recognition (and mythic) it deserves. This goes to my best geometry levels playlist on my channel which I rarely even add
: Also Good Kid? Elite music taste ngl
Mythic or we're overthrowing Rob.
Lol
We're overthrowing Rob
Revolution
I am astonished, how did you get 10 times better in a matter of like... Months?? Your levels used to be on par with mine like less than a year ago what steroids are you taking?? This is absolute perfection in all regards and i am envious beyond belief
I always strive to do something new with every project :) it forces you to improve ig
@@vegtam2869 that's true, looking at this its the least vegtam thing ive ever seen
Btw, how many total editor hours for this?
This is just hands down the best level rn, way far better than talking mushrooms 😭
OMG, HOW I DIDNT GET NOTIFICATED WITH THIS EARLY? THIS IS INCREDIBLE!!!!
Absolute Cinema~ una historia/juego que me recuerda a títulos de android de Odencat :3
absolutly amazing !!
I just did the whole thing and got the coin. The first legendary level with a reference to Poland! You seriously called him "Krzaczek"... wow. By the way, the family history is a very interesting addition
The only thing I didn't like was that this one cloud had "UwU" (I don't like this emoji for personal reasons)
Maybe now something like "That one level again"? I don't mean a copy but more of something similar. It would be nice to be able to use 2 characters, switching them by walking from player 2.
You are an amazing creator!
Ps.Out of curiosity, I checked the geometry dash on the old phone version, the only thing that is broken is that the character moves his legs at the speed of Sonic.
Thanks for contributing to the level :) The 2 player gimmick is an interesting idea for a sequel... Also the "uwu" is meant to look strange and out of place so I guess it served its purpose?? Idk lol
@@vegtam2869 Interesting... Maybe the second player would show up later, and one player would be a butterfly and act like a ufo and the other player could act like a normal cube but only this one could use the lever and etc.
"UwU" then fulfills its purpose 👌🏻
Uno de los mejores niveles plataforma sin duda!!
Con vos se tardo como una semana en darte mythic verdad!
Cool
This level was so good , i was amazed how it wasnt rated better
My god this is FAR BETTER that towerverse nice freaking job on this
BANGER
It got legendary this is kinda a hot take but I think that’s the rating it deserves. Remember above all Rob cares about gameplay. The gameplay in this level is really good, legendary even, but not mythic
Dude I don't even know what people consider to be "good" gp in a platformer. For me, good gp is basically having enough checkpoints, not spending too long on any one area, and implementing cool mechanics :)
This is amazing. Robtop might even put this for mythic or legendary!
This is the most beautiful platformer level i have ever seen! (This looks like a game you can get on steam lol)
Rob ya tiene asegurado un buen puesto para tu precioso nivel felicidades❤
Phenomenal!
Great level, really well made
Esperamos que tenga mythic, se lo merece
Mythic 100%! What a level, holy… :0
Absolutely Shii'sh 🔥🔥
Def a Mythic worthy ✨
At last! I've been waiting for this masterpiece for so long! But you know what? I would gladly wait many times longer just to be able to play it! Ah...
Masterpiece!
this is INSANE. hopefully it will get mythic!!!
The best out your story and world building
Not gonna lie in the beggining I was like its a cool level but the designs are no that incredible but as the level progresses wow the atmosphere in this the backgorunds the characters all the story telling man this is certainly incredible and also the robot mechanic is so simple yet so amazing it works super well man if the Towerverse is mythic maybe do a better rank for this level 11/10
Man you're so talented
amazing level
Just played this, insanely cool!
Amazing level
Truhly a masterpiece!!!
Levels like this are what make me think thet Legendary and mythic ratings were a mistake to add.
The level's amazing, but the controversy is so damn dense that it makes it hard to appreciate the level.
Yeah Rob should've probably improved the rating system before adding new rates
Awesome level bro
Masterpiece
Magnífico nivel :0
Peak just Peak😭🙏
Incredible
cool
I'm still in disbelief that this didn't get mythic, this is perhaps _the_ best platformer level in the game. It hit every mark: it's original; it's fun and of accessible difficulty; it's not too long; it has expert gameplay and sound design; it looks gorgeous; it tells a unique story and had amazing progression and gameplay changes to go with it; the characters were charming and interesting; there were lots of fun easter eggs and references throughout...
To put it simply, one just can't say The Towerverse does this many things to as high of a degree that you did here, and for all of those reasons I mentioned it was undeniably robbed of Mythic. This should've been the second one, and I'm so sorry.
It's not your fault :) Still I'm in awe at how well received my creation has been
@@vegtam2869 You absolutely should be, you made such an amazing platformer, and it should serve to set the standard of what a truly "peak platformer" (or story platformer, at least) should do, look, and play like. I'm just really disappointed with RobTop and his rating habits...
this is objectively better than the towerverse in every way
🔥
oml if this isnt mythic
actual beautiful
"Powered by GD" I love it
You are a genius
20th legendary
I JUST COMPLETE IT AND ALMOST CRY 😭
Al fin un nivel plataforma que si me gusta 😯
Это действительно великолепный уровень. Я считаю, что это Мифик.
Really cool platform level. Its just like another game wth
So we're using Good Kid music in gd now? That's so cool!
I've used their music in a couple of my levels :)
Okay you need to make Decay a full on game please!
I could try to make it myself but I don't have too much knowledge but I can still do a basic platformer game
8TH ON THE LEADERBOARD AFTER 1 REBEAT
I hoped this level was to get Mythic rating, 🔥
Was better than Towerverse and was longer so it should have been Mythic rated.
BTW no hate to Towerverse.
Levels like this make me want to quit- I'll never make something this good...
I don't think I'll make this something this good again either... But not everyone needs to be able to create masterpieces all the time :)
THERE'S NO FRICKING WAY. ALL 20 OF THESE LEGENDARY LEVELS. ARE WORSE THAN TOWERVERSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEgbhfqe9i0dfdgbfnhuuifwe09dgubnhjewoeigjhmieo0fwi-ghjfguieo0
I'M CRYING BRO WHAT IS WRONG WITH ROBBB.
ROB PLEASE
Rating standarts:
Starrate- around tidal wave
Featured- creator(s) put atleast some thought into making it
Epic- creator(s) knew what they were doing/ made one of the best levels in the game
Legendary- amazing levels and decent platformers
Mythic- the level is a basic platformer, features talking mushrooms, really long and boring, the level is named towerverse
Towerverse deserves Mythic in my opinion to be honest. But I also think that some legendaries deserve it more too. Both of those things can be true at the same time.
Probably the best platformer level in the game vs hehe mushrooom lmao
This is mythic
peak
Should be mythic he is better than towervers
this ain’t GD😭😭
this deserves high tier mythic
I swear if the title of the video wasn’t gd I thought it was another game
I get how this didnt get Mythic, bc its not PERFECT and thats the standards for a Mythic, but a really high tier Legendary tho
Is The Towerverse perfect?
@@bigdealbro3439 In my opinion (and clearly Robtop's opinion) yes
@@Sonicwavejumpscareswell this stupid game doesn't care for art
