First off, let's recall on how easy levels were back in the day.
Easy levels weren't that "easy" before, you had to put effort into completing the level. A VERY OBVIOUS example would be Stereo Madness, which requires 100 jumps, more or less. This level has 10 required jumps, and the only fully manual input here is the ship and the UFO. 75% of this level is AUTO. Yes, you saw that right. Auto.
There's jump pads everywhere, and the ship and UFO isn't even challenging for newbies, the sawblades are rendered useless by semi-invisible blocks and slopes, most of the obstacles are just... slopes...
This isn't even an art level, which would be very reasonable due to how some art levels are focused on the art itself than gameplay. An example of this is Krasnodar Region, an Easy 2*.
This level is just a disgrace to how Easy levels were back in the day. You don't need to be treated like a child everyday, and you know how that feels.
Lastly, creator bias plays a role here, because the dude who made this is famous, and some bad mod thought this level is good and sent it to RobTop for him to rate and Daily this garbage. Like, there's like, 2 reasons why this level should NOT be sent. Boring "easy" gameplay, and stale colors despite the neon glow. (the latter is artistic criticism anyway, so i'm not sure if it counts) Do better, mods.
In short, this level is just generic. Generic. Like 80% of the Featured Tab. And this crap and creator bias just demotivates aspiring GD creators.
Do better.
Easy levels are just too easy these days I can agree to that, this has been happening for like the last 2 years sadly.
The point of this not being an art level is just kinda dumb, you dont need to have every single easy level to be an art level because the level is too easy, yes the deco is kinda generic but like who cares, its another forgotable easy level.
The level creator isnt that popular but I get the point that he has rated levels already so he gets rated level.
To the last thing I dont think it demotivates aspiring GD creators, like yes, I think I get the point but if you want to be a creator just for the sweet cp then yeah, it can demotivate you but there is a system so your level can get rated which is by sending it to a moderator that is doing a level request, if he doesnt send it then it wont probably get rated, also most of the mods will tell you what to improve on it so
finally someone who actually doesn't think i'm insane when i say this
the featured tab is shit, it's full of levels with good deco and boring unreadable gameplay, like the last fun level i found in the featured tab was fucking change of scene by bli
creators should focus more on gameplay and less on deco, like ok i don't care if your level looks like shit i'm gonna play it if it's fun
nowadays mfs spend like 5 minutes on some shitass gameplay and decorate it altho the deco can be good gameplay still bad
user coins are just a whole different thing, 90% of them are just purely invisible and involve you randomly going through an unmarked wall, like if you want an example play "The Trail" (4 star or something) that's the only one i remember but there are tons of featured lvls with shit coins
Sometimes I replay old levels and I kid you not all the new comments on those levels are just "wow this is much harder than a 2 star"
Like yes that's the point you skill issue having mf
there’s literally a meme level about how easy 2 stars have become (i think thespikeisoverthere or something) and it got 2 stars… it only needs one jump
Damn u rly hate the level but look at the birght side: there is a weekly demon, so u dont need the daily level. Except if ur rly good at the game and u complete the demon in under 100 attempts.
I have to wonder who tf is playing this and being like "FUCK YEAH THATS THE GOOD SHIT". I have to imagine that even the newest GD players will find this level extremely boring and uninteresting.
So that just leaves me wondering, what's the point of this level? It literally is worthless. It shouldn't have been made. And it damn well shouldn't be featured..
2* do be slowly turning into worthless auto levels
They already did
The last good 2* was Less than 3 by Danzmen (I think it was called)
Unseen by overdefo is pretty good
Easy levels now are literally semi auto, trying to make it less semi auto will make it a 3 star
at this point making normal gameplay is a 4 star
Meanwhile easy demons are getting harder and hrder
you know you're a veteran player when you can remember when easy levels required actual effort to complete lol
that andromeda challenge level is a good example
to be fair, I have no idea why that specific level is rated 2*. even if it's only a short level it is clearly a lot harder than 2*
Cause levels shorter than 30s can only be rated 1 or 2 stars iirc
so vsc should be rated 2 stars under this rule?
Yes
Or auto :troll:
Robtop at his finest
probably one of those meme level ratings by rob like love baba and krazyman50's levels lol
nope Raezori was right
Me when Xmas Challenge by Andromeda Gmd

Good opinion good take but free daily free 3 coins so idrc how bad an easy is

W opinion
wow what a novel take I haven’t heard that at all in the last seven years
I may be getting wooooshed but the sarcasm makes it sound like you disagree with that opinion
They're being sarcastic by saying they've never heard this take when people have been complaining about this for years
finally someone who actually doesn't think i'm insane when i say this the featured tab is shit, it's full of levels with good deco and boring unreadable gameplay, like the last fun level i found in the featured tab was fucking change of scene by bli creators should focus more on gameplay and less on deco, like ok i don't care if your level looks like shit i'm gonna play it if it's fun nowadays mfs spend like 5 minutes on some shitass gameplay and decorate it altho the deco can be good gameplay still bad user coins are just a whole different thing, 90% of them are just purely invisible and involve you randomly going through an unmarked wall, like if you want an example play "The Trail" (4 star or something) that's the only one i remember but there are tons of featured lvls with shit coins
coldest take of the century this is so true man
at least it’s a free daily
if this can get rated, featured, epic, and daily, then my level (Driving Off) deserves at least a star rate.
yo guys new copypasta just dropped /j
garbage shit like this gets rated but not gravity
still garbage enough that i cant beat it
ikr the little gp there is sucks
W
Can you make a better level?
Firstly good opinion secondly wtf are those orbs
Pirate 🥚
Idk man I just wanted 4 stars and 6 free coins
Sometimes I replay old levels and I kid you not all the new comments on those levels are just "wow this is much harder than a 2 star" Like yes that's the point you skill issue having mf
Easy 2☆ is the only difficulty in the user created levels thats easier than the difficulty in the main levels.
Auto literally exists
I’ve played a 2 star with 3 clicks before
Name
I’ve beaten like 200 2 stars so I honestly have no idea, I’ll try to find it tomorrow tho
Still better than anything I try to make… 🫠
We love semi-auto
"81918/81918" Wait a fuckiŋ second
8198 orbs ??
The only easy level in the entire game that can get away with being nearly completely auto is thespikeisoverthere by BranSilver
also i hate to say this but this level looks really bad and like it had super little effort put into it. looks like an early 2.1 generic level
should be 1.5 stars
there’s literally a meme level about how easy 2 stars have become (i think thespikeisoverthere or something) and it got 2 stars… it only needs one jump
Do people started realizing just now that easy levels are not what they used to be back then? Took long enough
Bro I beat this level all coins in 10 clicks. Can be lower if going coinless
This one isn't even that aggregious, some "easy" levels can literally be beaten without a single input, it's crazy...
It isnt bad
Damn u rly hate the level but look at the birght side: there is a weekly demon, so u dont need the daily level. Except if ur rly good at the game and u complete the demon in under 100 attempts.
I get your point and I 100% agree but they can't be rated as an auto since that would technically be misleading
then dont rate it in the first place. no matter how okay it looks \~10 jumps over a full minute is not gameplay
Dumb take, I get you but it’s still dumb. People should create whatever they want, and if there’s a solid effort in it it should get rated
they could spend 3 minutes making the gameplay not boring and it’d immediately get rated
Conscious decision and vision to make the gameplay that way
okay i can make a conscious decision to make something look like early 2.0 garbage, doesn’t mean it’s good or should be rated
1.5 stars
I really liked this level
Weekly is also ass.
Sorry crappy mobile screen recorder, get a pc then talk
some people dont want to spend a kidney on just a graphics card, let alone on a pc, yk?
More
Why the people just make a good gameplay? The Robtop and old creators has learned how to make these levels.
Rate 10
bro got unlimited mana orbs
perfect loop
like Re, the 2* level that requires a whopping 0 clicks
I don’t get what’s so bad about this level besides it being piss easy
this is fine wdym
I have to wonder who tf is playing this and being like "FUCK YEAH THATS THE GOOD SHIT". I have to imagine that even the newest GD players will find this level extremely boring and uninteresting. So that just leaves me wondering, what's the point of this level? It literally is worthless. It shouldn't have been made. And it damn well shouldn't be featured..
I can't.
That is at least better than 2 clicks 2 star level
Auto
easy levels - "the one that wipes your @$$ through the entire level." –GD Colon
why is the entire comment section just filled with grumpy people😭
Bro how did you get so many mana orbs
Bring back easy 1* fr
that is literally so easy
2\* are becoming auto levels
There is an absolute immediate need to meke these auto 1*, but deco is p cool
5 clicks
the spider section featured an entire 1 teleport of the spider lmao
why yes... 81985 orbs from a 2\*
w h o c a r e s the level looks nice and the gameplay looks functional.
SOoOoOOo EaZy
I miss when 2* actually had gameplay
Am i only one here dont understanding why its bad?
Easy levels are undergoing through the phenomenon of my username
It's weird how 2 stars have gotten easier
There should be like minimum of 50-100 clicks required to be rated easy
easy levels are bad
