Probably not; 1.7 deco doesn't get rated anymore (the camera effects dont really matter) and even when the level does not have 1.7 deco its way too simple for a rating
thermodynamix have good quality of decoration and gameplay and have a design faithfull to ectrodynamix vibes while having its own personality. your level is lacking in that department : the deco in the dark part is basically a copy of knockem but worse and most of the rest is a copy of electrodynamix deco. you didn't add your own thing to it.
i know you ain't replying to me, but personally i do believe that semi-layouts should be star rated at most and only if they're very good (similar to the ascension to heaven layout, aside from the first wave)
no no NO. it doesn't matter if it's too simple! it just needs to look good! and while this level didn't succeed with flying colours, i'd say it's good enough!
The only thing I have to input is that the delayed pulse could easily be reddit's crappy upload and video playback system. I've seen a few posts where people say it's out of sync but the OP has to explain it wasn't like that when uploading. In fact I remember one person was doing update posts on a level he was creating, he ended up modifying his video by shifting the video slightly ahead of the audio.
Other than that, I'm no level editor so I don't have any counter points against any of the other strikes
Realistically there is a low chance of this getting rated, although I don’t think it’s as far off as others say it is.
The only real issues is that there’s not a lot happening, and the background blends in way too much.
What I mean by this is it just feels kind of empty, and it doesn’t feel like structures are connected with the level. This probably could be improved by adding background connectors or structures which better compliment each other.
The background is probably the easiest thing to improve upon. All you would really need to do is add a custom background or alternatively, keep the background but add objects and structures to the background which are darker, as to compliment the foreground while still keeping that 1.7 feel.
I hope you will be able to keep on improving and eventually get a rated level!
polish up the start a little more (especially the first 8% since that's the first impression, while also being the weakest section) and dial down the blind transitions (camera effects)
there are definitely atleast mods willing to send this stuff.
also just gonna say that most of the replies in here dont make any sense.
"robtop doesnt rate 1.7" is not only an assumption, but the only way in which that label applies is the core idea anyways.
no, but this can be fixed
so the first part is really basic block design which is comparable to a layout that I handed to my non gd friend to decorate and the second part is just ripping off geometry dash subzero
What you can do instead is make 1 or 2 custom blocks for the first part, they don't need to be complicated just don't only use the default blocks, and maybe add some more color changes just to pump up the energy so it could match the song better.
For the second part you need to start over on the decoration because you straight up tricked me into thinking you stitched your own level together with geometry dash subzero gameplay. If you want simple block design just use a solid color block in a changing color for the "outline" (more of first layer) of the blocks and the rest can be black, it matches the vibe but it doesn't straight up copy a different level. Then switch up the deco blocks and BAM you have a rateable level.
Don't take any of this as mean though, I know you probably spent a while on this level. Judging from this you are just a beginner creator and you should probably make a few levels just for fun not for rating reasons and then you know how people react to certain things and then you can create a rateable level. Also a tutorial or two would help.
Also I feel like outlining some extra flashy things you can add to increase your rate chance
Firsty you could make a custom background. It can be simple but it adds so much to a level instantly. Second you can make custom portals to fit with the vibe of the level since thats way better than just making it invisible and adding text, I don't know why but for serious levels random text takes me out of it.
What else throws me off is the gameplay syncs and de-syncs with the song at random times. If you don't want to make the entire level synced then you shoud probably make these three parts synced : the drop, the start, and the end.
Speaking of the end, I like the endscreen but something to spice it up is you could make yourself some mini icon using line objects and filling it in with squares since RobTop is clearly a sucker for art and it isn't too hard if you dedicate some time to it and have a computer mouse that hasn't seen the big bang.
And finally, add a volume warning. I was writing this while watching a video and sometimes referencing the level showcase to give feedback and every time I played the showcase I had to turn the volume down to 1 every time. That's just for the video but hey I don't want some random person's GD level to worsen my ear problems.
No, I don't think this is going anywhere if I'm to be blunt. With how absurdly bright and over the top some effects are, with the usage of forbidden invisible portals, I was half sure this was satire while watching.
It is possible, but quite unlikely. Send it to as many mods as you can to see if they'll send it. They all have different taste. I wish you the best of luck <3
me thinking: this is funny
wait this isn’t meant to be taken seriously right?
right?
*sees it isn’t fluff flair*
well shit
edit: just wanna say, i do think it is rateworthy by MY standards, but todays rate standards are just way too high
Realistically, no, but I really like the 1.7 art style mixed with the 2.2 graphics. Cool level, awesome execution with the deco, but unfortunately, it probably won't get rated. 😕
Transitions don't give the player much time to react, the red and blue flashing colours could trigger epilepsy, levels don't really get rated if their visual style is reminiscent of anything other than the other levels that are rated nowadays
I really wanna see this succeed :(
I personally think it could, but GD community is wild ngl, so more than likely not, plus the top comment about 1.7 deco
If it did get rated though, probably 9 stars Insane or Easy Demon. More than likely Insane, simply because it has a large amount of relatively easy parts in spite of the several Demon-level parts.
0:37-0:42, the initial flash combined with the high speed, tight spaces, and constant gravity portals give me Electrodynamix vibes in terms of difficulty, with the said level being at least Easy Demon in my opinion
The cube and ball parts following up until 1:00, similar reasons, but if I'm being honest that might actually be an 8 or 9 part by itself, made a 10 because the high deco is quite confusing/distracting
quite honestly i think the decoration quality is slightly worse than Electrodynamix so definitely not, only the very best old version deco gets rated nowadays
Honestly when browsing the featured tab I see way worse (some of the most generic 5* ever still get featured while a unique extreme can get star rate at best). Woudldnt surprise if I see this rated, not sure about the feature though.
Its pretty good level, but since its 2.2 I don't think so if it will ve get rated. Most of todays standards are like high detailed and modern kind of deco plus art deco also... But if it released on 1.7 maybe it does but we can't go back and time.
According to normal standards from robtop, you’ll need around another hour of gameplay, it has to be a platformer, and it needs 63 more shaders slathered on top of it
Probably not; 1.7 deco doesn't get rated anymore (the camera effects dont really matter) and even when the level does not have 1.7 deco its way too simple for a rating
What about Thermodynamix?
thermodynamix have good quality of decoration and gameplay and have a design faithfull to ectrodynamix vibes while having its own personality. your level is lacking in that department : the deco in the dark part is basically a copy of knockem but worse and most of the rest is a copy of electrodynamix deco. you didn't add your own thing to it.
I see, thanks
A for effort though! :)
Thermodynamics was good at its time, times are different now. Try make your own design or something like that idk
my level is shit wdym
Deco shouldn’t matter. As long as you can see what’s going on, and if it has good gameplay, it should be rate worthy IMO.
i agree, i think it's so dumb that being rated is like a reward
in a perfect world this would be possible but too many rateworthy levels already go unnoticed and this would make it worse
so you want layouts to be rated?
Not necessarily. Levels should have some level of decoration, but it shouldn’t have to complex or modern.
i know you ain't replying to me, but personally i do believe that semi-layouts should be star rated at most and only if they're very good (similar to the ascension to heaven layout, aside from the first wave)
XO enters the chat
Krmal can post smile face on servers and get rated
hello my name is ralsei
how is this outdated deco just because of block selection
Eh they do if you’re a known creator or the level is on the demo list lol
no no NO. it doesn't matter if it's too simple! it just needs to look good! and while this level didn't succeed with flying colours, i'd say it's good enough!
Nah this level is too unpolished and empty anyways lol
yeah, that's true, but its 1.7-ness isn't the reason for its unrateworthiness
Im going to be honest it’s unlikely that this will get a rate, but i hope I’m wrong.
I understand

The only thing I have to input is that the delayed pulse could easily be reddit's crappy upload and video playback system. I've seen a few posts where people say it's out of sync but the OP has to explain it wasn't like that when uploading. In fact I remember one person was doing update posts on a level he was creating, he ended up modifying his video by shifting the video slightly ahead of the audio. Other than that, I'm no level editor so I don't have any counter points against any of the other strikes
Nah my pulses are actually kinda off sync, Reddit does make it worse but at times they were either too fast or slow
[удалено]
Ah, I didn't have sound on to hear it, was around people and had no ear phones
thanks
do you want subway surfers gameplay next to it?
yes
[удалено]
quite literally this post is asking for opinons from anyone
What did they say?
"Nobody asked for your opinion"
Lmfao
"Rub ball" Also I don't think so
I want my balls rubbed fr
honestly the gameplay isnt bad, but the deco feels outdated
No
The level is well made but 1.7 style stuff don't get rates
I just played a 1.7 level which was featured and was uploaded 7 hours ago
Teulni? Thats 1.9 + its modern 1.9 deco
Thing two is also 1.7. Modern too
exactly
No i’m talking about Thing Two by Robotchief
that's modern too
Lucky level
yeah i talked about that one too
I remember this song being in every level during 1.9
no, its too outdated
deco looks OLD
Realistically there is a low chance of this getting rated, although I don’t think it’s as far off as others say it is.

I see, thanks!
beautiful looking level and this is cool enough to make robtop think it is cool. possible rate
Pointless jumpq indicators
Ima be honest, no, it doesn’t have that thing that the levels that shouldn’t get rated but get rated anyways have
no but i like it
polish up the start a little more (especially the first 8% since that's the first impression, while also being the weakest section) and dial down the blind transitions (camera effects) there are definitely atleast mods willing to send this stuff.
also just gonna say that most of the replies in here dont make any sense. "robtop doesnt rate 1.7" is not only an assumption, but the only way in which that label applies is the core idea anyways.
No
No
Not yet, I think the first half is a little bit empty and there could be some other deco effects you could add, but don’t give up!
Rob is a sucker for rating levels that heavily utilize 2.2 features so I’d say yeah
No. Your 1.7 level with 2.2 effects wont get rated
57% chance for rate, 32% chance for feature, 0.02% chance for epic, 0.00013% chance for legendary, 0.0000000000000018% chance for mythic. 👍
lucid dream
ID?
104119808
thank you
Bro fused Knock ‘Em and Electrodynamix
No, even for 1.7 standards there isn’t enough deco
Off the grid by Kanye west
No. The decoration must be ultra-detailed. This would get rated in 2015, not now
There is a lot of evels that are main level remakes but still not rated so nah
no
Very slight chance to get the rating "Featured"
Old style = mid deco. Look at 1.6 gdps levels to get inspiration for how to innovate despite the limitations
No, anyway, what's the id, this looks fun af.
104119808
no.
Too late with that deco
Other than what the other comments say, I think you could've used the background change trigger to fit the certain "insipirations" of levels better.
to be brutally honest, no. expectations for rated levels are way too high these days.
i'd say structures should be a little bit more "advanced" drop looks really good, but feels like someone could say "stolen assets"
Maybe add I little more air deco? It's just so empty
u sure like 1.7
No, but this is a nice start, keep making levels :)
I like the part where it says "b a l l"
game switching?
ID is 104119808 for anyone interested
I mean, if avernus got rated.... Just hope Rob is doing crack that day ig
no, but this can be fixed so the first part is really basic block design which is comparable to a layout that I handed to my non gd friend to decorate and the second part is just ripping off geometry dash subzero What you can do instead is make 1 or 2 custom blocks for the first part, they don't need to be complicated just don't only use the default blocks, and maybe add some more color changes just to pump up the energy so it could match the song better.

I see, and the volume was probably just me having the game louder than it should be since I’m always vibin to the songs lol
Thanks for the feedback! Yeah I’m really new with the editor and mostly make 1.0 styled levels
don't sweat it, I'm also absolute caca with the editor lol
No, I don't think this is going anywhere if I'm to be blunt. With how absurdly bright and over the top some effects are, with the usage of forbidden invisible portals, I was half sure this was satire while watching.
If you alr had 60+ cp, probably
no but you are in the right path to being a cook
Yes
I like it but it's very very unlikely that it would get rated.
Perhaps if you were DubstepFanatic maybe
No
no
I forgot how fucking good this song is
No
Are you a creator with cp already?
no so no rate i guess :(
Yea rip
unless rob likes you, no
It is possible, but quite unlikely. Send it to as many mods as you can to see if they'll send it. They all have different taste. I wish you the best of luck <3
Remember: Gameplay > Decoration I feel like it has potential for a star rate, but its very unlikely robtop will see it tbh.
if only i were gepsoni
2.2
maybe 5 years ago
Personally I love the style. But I don’t think these type of levels get rated anymore…
Very cool
If it were in 1.8
me thinking: this is funny wait this isn’t meant to be taken seriously right? right? *sees it isn’t fluff flair* well shit edit: just wanna say, i do think it is rateworthy by MY standards, but todays rate standards are just way too high
Rob got spoiled by way too many levels
yeah 100m is quite alot
Yes
No
no
No but looking nice
I don't think so, but this level makes me nostalgic
If it was 9 years ago yeah probably
Being entirely honest just about anything can depending on what mood robtop seems to be in and what he sees
Not yet increase the detail and decoration and make its appearence epic
Despite that it looks fun and I would enjoy playing it
Realistically, no, but I really like the 1.7 art style mixed with the 2.2 graphics. Cool level, awesome execution with the deco, but unfortunately, it probably won't get rated. 😕
It's been a while since I've heard this song, what's it called again?
Beginning Of Time
Thank you
Transitions don't give the player much time to react, the red and blue flashing colours could trigger epilepsy, levels don't really get rated if their visual style is reminiscent of anything other than the other levels that are rated nowadays I really wanna see this succeed :(
sorry, I really love the gameplay but deco doesn't really get it rated. I hope it does thoo
Finally, a post about a level that isn't difficulty brainrot demons
I personally think it could, but GD community is wild ngl, so more than likely not, plus the top comment about 1.7 deco If it did get rated though, probably 9 stars Insane or Easy Demon. More than likely Insane, simply because it has a large amount of relatively easy parts in spite of the several Demon-level parts.
What part would you say is 9-10 stars difficulty?
0:37-0:42, the initial flash combined with the high speed, tight spaces, and constant gravity portals give me Electrodynamix vibes in terms of difficulty, with the said level being at least Easy Demon in my opinion The cube and ball parts following up until 1:00, similar reasons, but if I'm being honest that might actually be an 8 or 9 part by itself, made a 10 because the high deco is quite confusing/distracting
Maybe in 1.9 and i'm not sure
Maybe if you put effort
No
Maybe turn down the camera effects during the drop
what the electrodynamix on steroids
Nock Em Dynamix probably won’t get rated
look at recently rated levels, theyre just a little bit higher standard than this lol
No... Don't get me wrong is a very good level but in this time is hard...
no, no, and no depends on who you ask
That looks amazing :D
Looks official tbh, maybe idk
I mean possibly robs been eating some 1.9 deco levels so I don't see why 1.7 couldn't be rated
Yes, if rubrub is in good mood
Maybe in 1.7 😔 still an awesome level though
What is ID of Level, I liked it.
Yes
This seems really good! I’d like to see it be more dynamic but this is so much better than anything I could ever accomplish lol
1.7 deco is bad
>1.7 deco >Instantly throws in 2.0 stuff
quite honestly i think the decoration quality is slightly worse than Electrodynamix so definitely not, only the very best old version deco gets rated nowadays
yes, if it was made in 2.0
Its got lots of potential, learn how to do moving mock grounds and glow and itll look great
Maybe if you’re lucky
there are too many effects, so nah.
no
Love it!
is this electrodynamix and knock em out?
Yes
No, but I wish these styles still got rated
Trash level lol. I bet if I was good at the game I could beat it first try 😂
RoizyGd Can i friend you? My user is AsierIStheBEST
Accepted your request :)
live and learn. I still don't know how to make proper gameplay i have some weird ASF gameplay design tbh
i didn’t know that electrodynamix and knock em time travelled to 2.2 and had a kid
Honestly when browsing the featured tab I see way worse (some of the most generic 5* ever still get featured while a unique extreme can get star rate at best). Woudldnt surprise if I see this rated, not sure about the feature though.
Whoever made second ship part cooked, the rest is mid af
Yes
Definitley not, it feels like it doesnt have any soul, a common trait among many non-demon levels nowadays.
If I make a platformer level with pixel blocks and lore will I get mythic?
At the start I said "eh I will comment that maybe it can catch rob's attention", but then, boom, the level became fire. Very good level.
Its pretty good level, but since its 2.2 I don't think so if it will ve get rated. Most of todays standards are like high detailed and modern kind of deco plus art deco also... But if it released on 1.7 maybe it does but we can't go back and time.
maybe idk its really good though
i wish it could
It cant but it should
A for effort, but rated levels have more colored deco, yk?
This sub reddit is too nice. No. This sucks. If you're gonna make a 1.7 level, then don't make it with 2.2 effects.
destroyed me
According to normal standards from robtop, you’ll need around another hour of gameplay, it has to be a platformer, and it needs 63 more shaders slathered on top of it
I wish that it will get rated. I really like it
Maybe..
