3:56 - Both trails I talk about already exist, I'm just silly and don't know my trails
7:30 - I math'd EXTREMELY wrong here, the correct orb count is 1,825,000 (1.8 million) and NOT 182 million. How I messed this up is beyond me
8:03 - I was playing map packs earlier and forgot to turn off the no mirror portal hack. I am not sorry and SkyFrost is a terrible level
28:18 - this is ray casting, not ray tracing. sorry for messing up your last name ray

hi colon :)
i thought that was insanely high lol
My only concern about putting icons behind gauntlets is that nowadays gauntlet levels are so object heavy my computer can't run them.
Most levels nowadays have LDM thankfully tho
Tbh, It’s only if you have a potato like a kindle, most people will have an Apple or and Android, and those things can run big levels pretty well.
2.2 should bring major performance improvements to the game, so it might not be a huge issue when the update comes out
@@p1xel1115 good luck running change of scene on a galaxy A series
2.2 will run a lot better so
I'm so excited for this all. Genuinely tearing up thinking about all the times i tried to do scale with crazy frame-by-frame animation or clever movements, the times I had to use giant scale hacked glows, using teleport portal bugs solely to adjust the camera slightly, etc. 2.2 is gonna be REVOLUTION!!!

Colon either predicted it or robtop made colon’s ideas
ikr
I doubt he would add blue and yellow coins for no reason ::
It wasn't that hard to guess honestly
Unironically, this game being $3 is like one of the greatest deals in human history. Like this community gives this game infinite value
Knock on wood man, robtop is gonna see your comment and make it like 20 bucks
with 2.2 this game could unironically be like $100 and still be worth it imo just for the sheer content provided
best 4$ I ever spent in my entire life!!!
Bought it for 5 cents during sale
@@timesnewrman turkey or argentine, I suppose. In russia, it costs 25 cents during sale (42 cents in old currency rate). But, turkey and argentine national currencies are getting removed from Steam soon, so no one is gonna buy it for that free anymore.
i’m honestly so glad that 2.1 lasted this long, leaving the community with the same tools for 7 years is what us driven this game to expand in such an insane and unique way. all the progress made during the 2.1 era will continue into future updates too, so it’s not like it going to go to shit now

My favorite thing about 2.2 is the level Dash. It has very fun gameplay. For those who are having trouble with the difficulty, you’ll get used to it later on.
i totally agree, also it's such a good use of features when you're used to it, it's like a stew with banger music.
I like it too but could Robtop seriously not come up with a better name?
@@Flaminhotbagel you're right, it's just... *dash.* not even diffrent from fingerdash

I think the 50/100 key chests should guarantee an icon/decent reward, but the other ones still have good chances.
Another thing is chest achievements. Basically you can get the icon guaranteed from the achievements or try your luck in a chest. I think that would be cool.
I love how you always put Nintendo Music over your videos, especially some music from the just released Mario Wonder!
Keep it up, love it

Great Video! Nice to hear your oppinions, it's very important
Is it weird that I'm honestly a bit scared of 2.2? Like I started playing this game in 2.0, and I feel like everything I know about it could get turned upside down by doubling the features, making the levels feel completely different, and all kinds of stuff like that. I'm probably afraid of nothing, but I cant help but feel a little nervous about the implementation of all of this new stuff in a game we've cherished for so long as it is
I am too!
@@GDColon good to know someone is on my side. Honestly when I voice my concerns I get a lot of "It'll be fine" and stuff like that which really isnt the point
I have over a 1000 hours of muscle memory from playing 2.1 ingrained in me, so i'm pretty sure adjusting to 2.2 gameplay features is gonna be hell
Same here. I’m uncertain as to how platformer levels will be managed in the update, and one of my fears is that camera controls is about to give us the worst level-creating trend we’ve seen yet.
@@GDColon Were all scared
We know that it's going to be early 2.0 on drugs
Way more hype, way more features we aren't ready for...
Glad to have people who agree!
Omg, you showed off Swagger by me and DangerKat, I'm so honoured! (at 13:04)
Anyways, I'm pretty excited for 2.2 and I hope some of the things you found get a little fix in a later small update for 2.2! I've also experienced 2.1 within my entire high school life and now at 1 and a half years of university. It's insane to think that 2.1 was that long and I'm hyped for a new era of Geometry Dash!
swagger's one of my favorite levels to come out of 2.1, i couldn't NOT show it. it's a perfect example of "seven years of 2.1 only forces the community to cook harder than ever"

The farewell really got me. I started playing in 2016 and I myself am in University rn. Time flies, but damn seeing all the progress & history being made in the GD community was beautiful.
I’ve been playing since 2013. I feel you ;-;
Same, not in university but I feel that. It’s honestly been amazing, and the fact that 2.1 is gonna be gone still feels so…surreal? I don’t know man.

You gained a sub pal, I really like your content lmao. Recently watched half of your older videos 😂
28:09 you just reminded me of everything that we achieved over these 6 years and I almost cried hearing it
we went through so much in 2.1 😭😭😭
2.1 was the only update i ever downloaded. I'm gonna miss it so dang much.
Agreed.
Are there going to be new gauntlets
I gonna miss 2.1
I think it would be really cool if the achievements were something like “beat a demon in practice mode in 1 attempt” or other things that cause players to beat levels in unexpected ways, other than sheer grinding.
That achievement would suck
Agreed
bad achievement bruh 😨
most ppl beat demons in at least 5 😭 be fr

Also Colon: *Makes an entire level with it active at all times in 2.2*

Thank you for having a moment with everyone today to say goodbye to 2.1. We’ve had good times yet we’re so happy but so sad at the same time. Thanks GD Colon

Yeah, that ending segment actually got me a little emotional and I'm not afraid to admit that.

The ending got me in the feels, man. I’m gonna miss 2.1 so much. This was a big journey for me to make as a creator, a player, and a community member. Thanks.
Also I laughed so many times throughout this video you’re like the only person who can make me laugh consistently
I loved the Wulzy particles
We'll all miss the 2.1 update, it was a good time indeed my friend.
2.2 will be wild! Been over 8 years playing this game
colon: don't do the retro trigger thing
also colon: does the retro shader thing in super gd gem hunt 64
So much things happened since I first played this game in January of 2018. I made so many friends, lost a chunk of them, discover myself, grow wiser, gone through much good and much bad. This update really feels like closing that chapter of my life and starting a new one. I have seen so much historical moments and it feels like 2.1/2.11 represents such a huge chunk of my life. I'm really emotional right now.
That "Farewell 2.1" chapter hits really hard man, I started playing GD back in 2015 when 2.0 was released and Cyclic wasn't considered a hacker, I was 14 years old
I discoved your channel in 2017 I think when you uploaded the "A day in the Dashlands" video.
Now I'm 22 years old, studying medicine, and waiting for 2.2
Let's practice medicine. In geometry dash.
16:00 heck yeah we need these congregation jumpscares
17:07 I have no clue what FFT does, but considering how useful it is in audio processing, I'm excited.
I like how your videos are the most clear and structured among all gd youtubers. Minimal muddle and full disclosure of the topic makes this the best breakdown of the trailer that I've seen so far.
It’s nice that RobTop actually interacts with the community and listens to the criticism and what people have to say. More game devs need to do that.
If he did that he would release whats ready and fix the rest in a smaller update.......
@@user-hv6nl3cz1z I doubt most of the community want a cyberpunk 2077 kind of situation where content releases, is broken on release, and then takes a long time to fix. I agree that it shouldn’t have taken this long, but pressuring him into rushing them is will make any work he does worthless if he listens, so why should we even be complaining? Like, he’s a person, not a robot.
@@user-hv6nl3cz1zlol no

I'm excited to see what modding will be like in 2.2. The modding community has grown so much in the past few years and we've seen so many improvements, but we also have a lot of leftover baggage from times when we knew less about the game. While I'm a tad sad about having to rework everything I've done, I'm also kinda really excited to see gd.h finally phased out for good and see a new chapter of Geode-lead modding truly begin
yoo it’s the betteredit man *why does my game lag whenever I place an object after I place a few*
well like i said in the video, at the start of 2.1 we basically just had shady .exe files. so we've come a real long way

Can't wait for colon to upload the next video in like 3 months
I wasnt really sure about 2.2 first, but now im fucken hyped for 2.2 this video showed really the true potential of 2.2
Colon why did you have to genuinely make me cry at the end how did you do that
No but like, seriously, obligatory essay time since I have a lot to say about that
that ending was crazy. It's been like 3 years at least since I went away from the GD community. But in truth, I never did. I lost interest in the kind of GD content I used to like, but this game still has an amazing potential at it's core and it was fun to watch it grow still for the last 3 years.
The fact that from me being a cringe middle school GD kid in 2017 to second year of university, I can still enjoy the game through new ways is crazy on its own.
But this video made me realize just how much I wish I could enjoy the 2017 era again the same way I did actually being there. And I'm really feeling like 2.2 is just the perfect occasion for that. It's got the wonders (foreshadowing) of discovering the game again, but also the wonders of playing an update I was waiting for during the last 6 years.
And I think its release time helps it a lot, because Super Mario Bros Wonder did pretty much that same mix of bringing Mario back and making the game I would've imagined as my favorite game ever as an 8 year old.
All that for a simple conclusion. Thank you for bringing these emotions with this ending. Because I never would've truly realized how huge 2.2 actually is even beyond how much content there is. Thank you all for these 6 years.
20:06 This is possible. "Animate on Trigger" option allows activating particles with an Animate trigger. Tie a free group to a particle emitter and animate the group with an ID of 1.

Heya Xyrul
this was certainly a breath of fresh air in the midst of the 2.2 content spam coming from one particular creator.
I absolutely love that sendoff at the end, it really does feel like the end of an era for GD.
I started playing GD Lite in 1.9 when I was in elementary school, and I convinced my grandma to buy me the full game on my now-dead tablet very shortly before 2.0 came out. Update 2.1 came out when I was in 6th grade, and I'm now almost done with my first semester at university (was taking a US History exam while this was premiering, i think it went rly well for once).
no idea what else to say lmao. video good. remember to use your turn signals
really makes me feel old 🥲i remember when cataclysm 1.0 hit and bloodbath's release, some of my memories even go as far back as before levels looked good at all and were like 80% or more just untextured blocks... now most of the vets are college age and up lmao
day after day sunk trying to beat levels that i now consider easy like blast processing back when i was super young, and now i'm usually so wrapped up with classwork or other responsibilities that this game is going to be an excuse to procrastinate kek
Have you ever played Just Shapes and Beats? It's basically Geometry Dash but bullet hell and I like it a lot more, as it's not so intimidating until you make it a ways in.

10:40 ok that ACTUALLY took me by surprise even if it was obvious

Same here, Same here.

uhhh
2.2 feels like the end and a beginning both at once. Really a strange feeling that it could come out anyday starting now

Oh damn real yoried
This is such an amazing video to wrap up this absolutely game-defining era of Geometry Dash that is 2.1... *27:42* Was definitely my favorite part -aside from fucking Peaceful being shown... God why is this hellhole not dead yet.- I too am not ready to part ways with this spectacular chapter of the game that is 2.1, even when I was given over 6 years to prepare. It has been a wild ride that went from zero to hero and it lasted about 2/5 of my entire life so far. But, oh well, things have to change, and even though 2.2 is in my opinion the single most bloated and overstuffed mess of an update to ever be conceived in the history of games... It's nevertheless going to be *pretty gosh darn EPIC!*
19:22 I think that's a variant of the spider orb that acts in the given direction, since it doesn't spin like a dash orb, and flips you to the surface in that direction like an arrow trigger..?
Loved the vid btw :)
Thanks for having this moment and sharing your moment with us, Colon. 2.1's really been a fun ride and I hope we'll just get more community fun and craziness to keep this game running. Thank you and happy 2.2

10:38 you were right!!!
I'm not ready to let go of 2.1, this update has made me so many beautiful memories. But I agree with what you said, its time to move on from this and look forward to even more incredible things while not forgetting where we came from.
Geometry Dash has been a huge part of my life and I'm excited to see what the future holds! ❤❤❤
the thing is we're forced to move on bc 2.1 doesn't even work on most of my devices anymore due to it being 32 bit and not 64

15:43 you forgot one, "want to turn a level into a congergation jumpscare, you an do that
19:20 I think that's some kind of dash orb. The old textures of the ones we already have looks exactly like this. My personal guess is that it'll be an orb that allows you to phase through anything since it's directly pointing to a small coin that seems out of reach. This will then activate an exit to the room.
i havent watched or played gd for a long time and i just realized 2.2 finally came out
One of my concerns is that what happens to the mods (megahack v7, Better edit ,etc) they will probably break unless the creators of the mods update or create new version which might mean leaving the other old versions to the dust.
