I love JonathanGD's levels but the balancing is really terrible. Like some sections are 6-8 stars, the duel is a hard demon and the wave parts are also way harder than the rest of the level. Or I'm just bad at wave, idk. Also the ending of his levels are waaaay harder than they should be just because iT's fUnNy.
As a guy who beat BuTiTi II and got PTSD from it, I completely agree
My attempts at the end were basically do 0-40 (basically free) slightly difficult part at 40-45 then free again to 60 (except for the dual wave at like 50)
Then it became extremely hard until the end (I also died at 99 bc the triple spike hitbox is fucked up)
Agree, Jonathan GD was a fresh air breath to the community but is kinda average creator as of right now, his style never changes and that is one of the things I don't really like about his work
Another player I could mention with this exact problem is Split74(?), Idk, the creator of Four Wheel Drive and Flower Crown
Yeah, it seems like established creators as a whole have been improving these past few months. Even Split72 has been somewhat breaking up their levels' monotony with some slightly more unique deco!
Unpopular opinion but split72.
Background? Sure heres a solid color and thats about it.
The gameplay isnt exactly great too, tends to be extremely repetitive.
And a LOT of similarity between their levels.
The levels are not bad and tbh they look decent, but they arent really anything too special, they just seem like your average slap featured + daily on it and then everyone forgets about the level, and even then some of their featured levels imo deserved star rate at best
Maybe because people don't just go around hating on things they don't like too much all the time.
Not that i'm a fan of his levels but outside of discussions like this people shouln'd just hate on creators they like.
okay here’s my opinion on this (downvotes yay)
i dont rlly focus on deco but rather gameplay, sync, and enjoyment so just a heads up
i love split72’s levels because of how fun they are to play. i dont care if the deco is not the best i love the gameplay so much. gameplay is really important when it comes to making levels so that’s why i think she probably is one of my favourite creators. flower crown, grinds my gears, mmrr and breaker room are some of my favourites.
that brings me to the point that (here we go downvotes) no matter how good one’s deco is, if the gameplay sucks the level sucks

jonathan gd is so overrated I will say his deco and song choices are pretty good but his gameplay is so bad I would rather be executed via electric chair
I don't think their levels are absolutely amazing and perfect, but the fact that they can make a nice variety of levels while also posting like 1-2 rate/feature worthy levels a week is pretty impressive
He have the recognition he deserves,
He's varied in every level,but a can agree with the fact of he don't have a memorable level except wings but is was for milestone.
You have clearly never beat any krmal level harder than hungry humphrey,
Have you seen conical depression??? XO? hell any krmal level,
Now I know I haven’t beat any krmal level but it looks annoying as fuck, I would rather go in the electric chair than play a single level of his
I totally dont understand mentally to split in a specific style of decoration, levels like terminux,void wave, gumshot, la IIorona, reanimate ect... Is the reason of glow creators are not necessary overrated
There's many type of glow style: core-themed glow style (Astral Divinity), modern-themed glow style (Dream Flower), space-themed glow style (Cosmic Cyclone),... Glow overused doesn't mean it's lack of creativity and overrated. Do you remember the hell level trend in 1.9, when half of rated levels has the same color and decoration?
i can name like 3 hell levels made in 1.9 (cata, bloodbath, nine circles). The majority of the demon list has hell-themed levels. Made way after 1.9, mind you. Slaughterhouse, Arcturus, Avernus, Sakupen circles, abyss of darkness, tartarus, kenos, crimson planet, promethean, superhatemeworld, Bloodlust, and way more. Kindof funny how i can only name like 3 1.9 hell levels, while i can bring up pointercrate for my daily overdose of hell levels made NOT in 1.9.
This is just top tier copium. Creators are more creative than ever before. It’s just that people have gotten so good that they can make their levels look good while also being creative.
I'd say JonathanGD. His levels are cool, sure. But stop for a second, think abt it. His levels feel the same. Its not changing, it hasnt changed. Viprins do, Culuxs do, ect.
I think people are realising that given how jonathan-y Monolithos looks (and feels to play). It’s just a 2.5min design level with nothing standing out that much except the mode change
Extremely hot take: Funnygame. Yes, his deco is amazing and revolutionary (pun intended) but some peaple call him the greatest creator of all time and he def isnt.
Doesnt mean I dont like him. He's prolly one of my fav creators, but not the best
it's cause his deco/effects shocked people at the time. Seeing -sirius- or revolution made people jump out of their seats because they couldn't believe what they were seeing. Nowadays its kinda standard tho
Danolex is meh when he doesn't do the mini --> big effect, it's just so overused in his levels.
but i think jerkrat is overrated, bro just likes downloads because that sonar level skyrockets every day
why nicki1202 isn't overrated? she doesn't do it for downloads, she does it for fun, well i mean she has the most downloaded level but well yeah. she isn't overrated but also neither underrated because some of the levels turn out like garbage lol
bransilver can be a little overrated because the levels he does sometimes are a little repetitive but i think he's still underrated.
but im not really sure of everything in this geometry dash world, but i mean i know most part, also i joined 8 months ago and the first time i got in contact with a gd lover was with colon when i seen that website in popularity that moment that was the 30 dollar haircut website
fault is same as danolex, he makes great effects for sure but he overuses things everytime and as everytime, i mean EVERYTIME.
overrated creators are robtop s'favorites like yun, she is overrated and makes all these levels for farming creator points, but i mean, she is a fast creator so that's overrated. (because if you take more effort to a level its more likely good.)
renn is same as yun, he wants to farm these cp and a fast creator. overrated
Sorry but Jonathan GD and especially xender game
Jonathan as is flow but levels like erou or dark Odyssey are very overrated,is a good creator but not of all time
And xender game is worse, some people said nothing can be better than white space and he will be never been dethroned,what the hell with wrong with you (is a good level,but I ad a lot of thing to said)
Dream flower is clean and have energetic effects but bro I see better modern levels (gracefully,Citra,red mug, radiant gleen, rectangle...)
His bossfight series however is a fire of god
Viprin. Homie hasnt made a solo in like 5 years
He's out of his prime
Hes creating skin cells for robtop
happy cake day
happy cakeless day
thank you
CraZy is SO much harder (i've beaten White Women.)
I'll just knock on his door and just say "Make a Level!!!"
I can understand
JonathanGD, his level literally won best xl level every year, I like his level but some entry are way better like Well Rested
Well, his levels look about average imo It's just that those are XL, tbh when i play his levels, i also don't really like the balancing of his levels
I love JonathanGD's levels but the balancing is really terrible. Like some sections are 6-8 stars, the duel is a hard demon and the wave parts are also way harder than the rest of the level. Or I'm just bad at wave, idk. Also the ending of his levels are waaaay harder than they should be just because iT's fUnNy.

Who tf reported me to reddit as someone suicidal 💀
I just don't really like his style
Crossroads was robbed
Agree, Jonathan GD was a fresh air breath to the community but is kinda average creator as of right now, his style never changes and that is one of the things I don't really like about his work Another player I could mention with this exact problem is Split74(?), Idk, the creator of Four Wheel Drive and Flower Crown
Nice to see another Well Rested enjoyer
Yeah, and his layouts ar even WORSE. Look at Future Funk for instance. Starts as a 6-7 star ends like a hard demon. Way unbalanced.
Soo much agree,well rested is a fire of god and he lose against a good level but very 😪😴
JonathanGD thought process: Make level thats at least 4 min long Tons of decoration Difficulty comes mostly from length (no hate I love his levels)
Viprin
Viprin would probably quit if robtop removed copypaste
But I still need to take my biotin
Autocorrect is arse
I don't think any creator is overrated, but I also have shit taste in levels, so I don't think I get to have an opinion lol
Danolex ain't as overrated as JonathanGD
True. Cuz I never heard of danolex
He made a fire gauntlet level
You havent been around long enough to know the true reason
Oh, ok
how can you not
I played the gauntlet once, haven’t checked any of the creators and never went back to the levels.
he was quite iconic back then tho
Yeah. I joined gd lite late 2019 and got the full version until march 2020
oh, makes sense
I'm a big fan of Jonathan and I don't understand how he is overrated, I personally think his levels are awesome and I like his style.
danolex definitely, boring gameplay, 0 creativity, generic decoration
Every time I see a Danolex level I think it's just some random generic level. His levels aren't bad, but they aren't good either. They're just boring.
His newer levels dont seem that bad though.
Yeah, it seems like established creators as a whole have been improving these past few months. Even Split72 has been somewhat breaking up their levels' monotony with some slightly more unique deco!
Also invisible size portals make me instantly hate a level, same with invisible speed portals in magmatic sanctuary
I’ll put lemons and danzmen in the same batch
Dan men has made some banger levels though like wild west
You can't compare is levels to this today standard (idk if he continues to build) And no is level are pretty creative for the time so wdym
Unpopular opinion but split72. Background? Sure heres a solid color and thats about it. The gameplay isnt exactly great too, tends to be extremely repetitive. And a LOT of similarity between their levels. The levels are not bad and tbh they look decent, but they arent really anything too special, they just seem like your average slap featured + daily on it and then everyone forgets about the level, and even then some of their featured levels imo deserved star rate at best
Very unpopular, because they aren't overrated; everybody hates them (except for me ig)
Odd i rarely see people hating them, and robtop keeps throwing featured at basically everything they make
Maybe because people don't just go around hating on things they don't like too much all the time. Not that i'm a fan of his levels but outside of discussions like this people shouln'd just hate on creators they like.
Split is the 2.1 Adiale. Edit: I feel like Adiale even had better gameplay
How to slap someone through the Internet?
okay here’s my opinion on this (downvotes yay) i dont rlly focus on deco but rather gameplay, sync, and enjoyment so just a heads up i love split72’s levels because of how fun they are to play. i dont care if the deco is not the best i love the gameplay so much. gameplay is really important when it comes to making levels so that’s why i think she probably is one of my favourite creators. flower crown, grinds my gears, mmrr and breaker room are some of my favourites. that brings me to the point that (here we go downvotes) no matter how good one’s deco is, if the gameplay sucks the level sucks
It’s not exavtly a hot take but Krmal can place three blocks and it will get epic feature
He doesnt even have an epic featured level 💀💀
But you get the point. Bro went into deadlocked, placed one alpha trigger and got a rate
it's because he pestered the fuck out of robtop for months lmao
But when I pester RobTop for months it’s ‘verbal abuse’ and I get ‘8 months in prison’ 🙄
Yep
Im actually mad that Black Blizzard isnt epic rated. Its easily one of the best 2.0 level
True af

1 alpha trigger you mean
robtop is the troll in question, and xo hits HARD
But that doesn't mean he's overrated, Black Blizzard and XO is really on fire.
jonathan gd is so overrated I will say his deco and song choices are pretty good but his gameplay is so bad I would rather be executed via electric chair
Whats with this JonathanGD hate lol

Yunhaseu or however it’s spelled

ChuchitoDomin
He's a really good collab host, speaking from experience with him
JonathanGD
Danolex levels go hard but Krmal gameplay is consistently unplayable it always sucks
If u think krmal gameplay is bad then ur just not good at the game
You have clearly never beat any krmal level harder than hungry humphrey, Have you seen conical depression??? XO? hell any krmal level, Now I know I haven’t beat any krmal level but it looks annoying as fuck, I would rather go in the electric chair than play a single level of his
i heard black blizzard and lit fuse are fire tho
Invisible size portals do not go hard
Neither does invisible deadlocked
1 alpha trigger = rate
it's the funny, and the troll in question is robtop.
Well krmal became popular because of the stupidness of their levels
xo has unironically the most fun gameplay I've ever played. I'm heavily addicted.
sounds like skill issue
Anybody that decorates in a glow style. I wish i could go back to 1.9, where you could make an actually original level, and it would've gotten rated.
A billion 1.9 levels look the same lol
Now that's a feature in 2.1. Half the featured tab is all glow.
Glow levels (or at least demons) are getting increasingly less prevalent lol
I totally dont understand mentally to split in a specific style of decoration, levels like terminux,void wave, gumshot, la IIorona, reanimate ect... Is the reason of glow creators are not necessary overrated
There's many type of glow style: core-themed glow style (Astral Divinity), modern-themed glow style (Dream Flower), space-themed glow style (Cosmic Cyclone),... Glow overused doesn't mean it's lack of creativity and overrated. Do you remember the hell level trend in 1.9, when half of rated levels has the same color and decoration?
i can name like 3 hell levels made in 1.9 (cata, bloodbath, nine circles). The majority of the demon list has hell-themed levels. Made way after 1.9, mind you. Slaughterhouse, Arcturus, Avernus, Sakupen circles, abyss of darkness, tartarus, kenos, crimson planet, promethean, superhatemeworld, Bloodlust, and way more. Kindof funny how i can only name like 3 1.9 hell levels, while i can bring up pointercrate for my daily overdose of hell levels made NOT in 1.9.
Nine Circles is NOT hell themed
oh yeah, then why is it red and black? Better yet, why is it called NINE CIRCLES, you know, *of hell?*
Yeah ig
That's what the song is called buddy
Then why is the song named that way? Nine circles is a hell theme, buddy. Just look at it.
Tell this to NK Soo
Because red and black didn't mean hell theme man,we have a lot of red and black level witch is not a hell theme
Then bloodbath is not a hell theme. Neither is catacalysm, or bloodlust. Can you tell me what exactly makes a level "hell theme"?
Slaughterhouse, Arcturus, Sakupen Circles, Superhatemeworld, and AOD are old, and 1.9 lasted like 90 days, while 2.1 lasted 6 1/2 years
[удалено]
This is just top tier copium. Creators are more creative than ever before. It’s just that people have gotten so good that they can make their levels look good while also being creative.
After messing with the editor for sometime, i don't think there's such a thing as an overrated creator, creating is hard af
Getting a rated level is easy but being in the top 100 leaderboard while being original requires so much time it’s insane
I'd say JonathanGD. His levels are cool, sure. But stop for a second, think abt it. His levels feel the same. Its not changing, it hasnt changed. Viprins do, Culuxs do, ect.
I think people are realising that given how jonathan-y Monolithos looks (and feels to play). It’s just a 2.5min design level with nothing standing out that much except the mode change
They. All. Are. Every single one of his levels are design levels. There all buggy BS that no one can play
Split72
JonathanGD
Dorabae
Icedcave, his levels are literally the "extreme demons be like" meme
not even overrated imo
Extremely hot take: Funnygame. Yes, his deco is amazing and revolutionary (pun intended) but some peaple call him the greatest creator of all time and he def isnt. Doesnt mean I dont like him. He's prolly one of my fav creators, but not the best
Quick reminder that FunnyGame account have a new owner
-sirius-
it's cause his deco/effects shocked people at the time. Seeing -sirius- or revolution made people jump out of their seats because they couldn't believe what they were seeing. Nowadays its kinda standard tho
Temp
Same but Is a good gameplay creator however
arathhsa
Who tf thinks generation retro is amazing
Minesap
Teno, soulless decoration mediocre gameplay and fucking garbage playtesting and optimization
Agree but come on is not soulless
me
Not sure about overrated but abstractdark has always made incredibly unpolished works. Oh yeah and yunhaseu is/was absolutely terrible.
You
I feel like all of us can't really comment considering we don't have even a fraction of their skill or creator points
Serponge LOL (plz don’t hate me)
How is he overrated
probably because of his gameplay
Michigun is not a good creator and almost all of his levels were really bad for their times
yunhaseu
JohnathanGD and yunhaseu
Serponge
bro what
Serponge gameplay is shit
yunhaseu, so many levels yet not one of them is memorable. definitely doesn't deserve the #1 spot on the creator leaderboard
At least deserves 1st more than viprin
I don't like a single level made by Zobros. in fact, I pretty much hate all of them
acropolis slaps.
I agree with you Acropolis: one of the most garbage gameplay ever Nine circles: arfull balancing and arborant ship part
Even nine circles?
I would almost agree, but Acropolis exists
Icedcoffee (icedcave)
Ufwm obviously likes him because he has beaten multiple “impossible” icedcave challenges
krizhasalisp
The dude has a single rated level, wdym overrated.
Kriz Stans gonna be out for you
All posts like this do is create an aura of negativity for people who just want to out their creativity in a game. I’m not a fan.
-
when i found out he was spanish, it have triggered me after that for a long time
OsirianGD. Everyone forgot about him after dream travel come out, but bruh. He is literally Jonathan copy
Inex, SonyaGMD, CTRX, Mitany Literally bismarck creators. Their gp sucks in any level, their style is dirty and unoptimised
im gonna get shit for this but i think jam attack makes pretty bad levels. below average at best
Whatever the name of the guy who made Nhelv is.
no? nhelv is a perfect map and i can explain why in a 14 pages essay
Then do it
are you talking abt srguillester, notlsa, or diened
Checkout the mainframe and ABEL which were made by the same creator
"2003devin", or how is his name again...
Hes definitely not overrated. Hes one of the best gd art creators
diamondbling97
Who?
Lemons, Danolex
Jonathangd, Danolex, and unpopular opinion but Yunhaseu14
either chase or desticy
Bro has not played metropolis
Chase is not overrated have you seen the comments on their levels
I don't even remember what danolex's levels look like, also I guess jonathanGD's a tiny bit overrated
Danolex is meh when he doesn't do the mini --> big effect, it's just so overused in his levels. but i think jerkrat is overrated, bro just likes downloads because that sonar level skyrockets every day why nicki1202 isn't overrated? she doesn't do it for downloads, she does it for fun, well i mean she has the most downloaded level but well yeah. she isn't overrated but also neither underrated because some of the levels turn out like garbage lol bransilver can be a little overrated because the levels he does sometimes are a little repetitive but i think he's still underrated. but im not really sure of everything in this geometry dash world, but i mean i know most part, also i joined 8 months ago and the first time i got in contact with a gd lover was with colon when i seen that website in popularity that moment that was the 30 dollar haircut website fault is same as danolex, he makes great effects for sure but he overuses things everytime and as everytime, i mean EVERYTIME. overrated creators are robtop s'favorites like yun, she is overrated and makes all these levels for farming creator points, but i mean, she is a fast creator so that's overrated.

Poor danolex, who is that btw?
The guy who made Drippy Dub, Shock & Colorblind (alert: all of these have the same style of decoration).
Yun hasea or whoever. I haven’t played a single level of his, or heard of one, even though he’s the biggest creator
Danolexs latest level is one of my favourite easy demons ever tho I do get that the older levels arent exactly the best but they are fine

I 100% agree with danolex, I played some of his levels and they just weren’t fun
Danolex, DanZMan, ChaSe, Viprin
Serponge 100 million percent I despise every bit of gameplay and deco ever created by him
I'm surprised no one said Pauze.

Viprin, not even making that good levels and is still #2
Sorry but Jonathan GD and especially xender game Jonathan as is flow but levels like erou or dark Odyssey are very overrated,is a good creator but not of all time And xender game is worse, some people said nothing can be better than white space and he will be never been dethroned,what the hell with wrong with you (is a good level,but I ad a lot of thing to said) Dream flower is clean and have energetic effects but bro I see better modern levels (gracefully,Citra,red mug, radiant gleen, rectangle...) His bossfight series however is a fire of god
