The Most CONTROVERSIAL Geometry Dash Levels

hi i'm alan and this is a video good morning good evening good afternoon everyone welcome back to more jumper dash today we're going to be taking a look at the most controversial levels in geometry what i mean by controversial is not necessarily the levels that have had the most drama surrounding them though drama is definitely a huge factor when talking about controversy we are talking about the levels that have sparked the biggest discussions whether that is something along the lines of save as which sparks the conversation about whether or not message has a meaning in the level or something like nine circles would just spark the controversy behind whether or not nine circles levels should be rated rate worthy all that stuff in recent day this is by no means a comprehensive list as you can see by the video link this is a very long video however i'm going to just cover each level that i'm talking about very surface level very basic i have a lot of levels that i want to cover so i'm not going to very deep into each situation however if you do want to see me do any of these levels in detail at a later point please let me know in the comment section down below i would really appreciate it anyway enjoy the video and subscribe to the channel if you haven't already i would appreciate it first off is buff this by boy of the cones this level was controversial in the sense that it was deemed the laziest level in genre dash it was originally made as a joke and a play on extreme demons and the fact that they only had straight fly and that straight flight was a huge part of their gameplay buff this was made as like an inside joke for boy of the cones and his friends as this was just a level with pure straight fly and it was decorated in a way to make it look like a generic glow level controversially this level got raided and was super hated because of it and it ended up being the talk of the town for a really long time and buffet still remains somewhat controversial whenever it is brought up in discussion today nine circles unsurprisingly nine circles would be mentioned as it is this trend starter for arguably the biggest trend in geometry dash nine circles nine circles levels as a whole are probably the most controversial levels in geometry dash due to the fact that one they're at this point very lazy and overdone but also the fact that they heavily heavily rely on an epileptic effect and it is especially been brought up now again as the current number one extreme demon subcoop and circles is a nine circles level which has yet again garnered a lot more attention these days the nicer was hate train was very prominent in 1.9 especially when numerous coffees were created and were just kind of like thrown out there for easy rates and arguably split the community almost more than any other level ever asked one side loved nine circles and still loved nine circles today and the other side absolutely hated it and still hate night circus levels today and i don't think we're ever going to see like a conjoined agreement that nice circles are either good or bad it's just a controversial thing whether you like nine circles or not by presta has been the talk of john to dash for a while now especially over on twitter and on discord servers as congregation by presta is a epic featured extreme demon with less than 40 000 objects and the discussion and controversy surrounding congregation basically boiled down to is it atmospheric or is it lazy it has very very very little air decoration a very low object count and very simple insanely block design for the span of the three and a half minutes that it lasts it is very slow and very dragged out and the controversy basically boils down to is it lazy or does it have an incredible atmosphere and it seems to divide the community a lot where a lot of players especially think that it's an incredibly boring level and that it's almost a disgrace to the demons list while a lot of creators and people who appreciate drum to dash more of an art form think that congregation is a fantastic level and it splits the community pretty much in the middle thinking space by atomic things based by atomic was a very controversial rate in 2020 asks if any of you guys remember i made a video with nepesta about controversial gd opinions and both of us said that we don't think biggest space is going to get rated however it was a lot of people really really was against thinking space getting raided however there was a really huge campaign almost in the name of thinking space to get it rated and it sparked the conversation of should levels be rated based on accomplishment alone because more or less everyone agreed that thinking space quality wise and based on visuals was not rate worthy and the day and age that it was verified however based on when it was created and the accomplishment at hand for atomic should it be rated on the premise of accomplishment a lot of people were like it's a great accomplishment i think atomic should be rewarded for his accomplishment and the other side said otherwise it did end up getting raided which sparked the controversy even larger and it made a lot more people really question whether or not john fudashi levels should be treated as such and since then has been a scapegoat of this level should be rated because thinking space got raided sonic wave by a cyclic sonic wave has been part of a lot of different controversies first and foremost it was the level that inevitably made cyclic confess to hacking as cyclic was a very prominent player within the gd community and being the main rival of riot in 1.9 when he was at his peak cycling then confessed himself to hacking a lot of his major accomplishments including sonic wave which made the level go into somewhat of a limbo until sonic's verified it in the future and it was pretty much just made to dethrone bloodbath as cycling wanted to rival riot as having the number one demon however after sonic waves official verification when sonic beat it in 2016 it spawned a plethora of different sonic wave clones including generic wave auditory breaker sonic wave rebirth and sonic wave infinity among others and these levels in themselves are also very controversial in the sense that people are let's be real kind of tired of sonic wave remakes and sonic wave still to this day is a very polarizing level as there is pretty much a sonic wave cult and then there's a bunch of people who think sonic wave is the worst level ever created colorado by shuri is one of the levels that first sparked the idea of getting levels rated through twitter and the reason why is because shuri made a very very large campaign to get covered rated back on twitter and after a while robtop just bent his knees to the idea of raiding cobraetta and ended up rating it controversially speaking considering the fact that it's an incredibly short level and for a while was the shortest rated extreme demon as well however due to severe amounts of backlash from raiding covaretta robtop unrated for some time because of the hate that he got showing that the community did have a significant amount of effect on rob's decisions to rate levels however the level did end up getting re-rated and colorado now stays homodemous listen has been since but the controversy surrounding covered as their initial rate understated it was a huge deal back then and it still is kind of a huge deal today and it's still a level that is widely talked about for a lot of different reasons man man and red rooms by 2003 devon were two levels that got a lot of attention on social media because of the gore and disturbing imagery in the levels i'm not gonna be showing a any clips of the level right now because they are genuinely disturbing levels to look at as there is depiction of murder as well as dismantling of other people and there were a lot of discussions whether or not 2003 devin was actually mentally sane after seeing these levels as people started questioning whether or not someone would actually genuinely spend hours and hours creating rather vile depictions of things that happened to people and whether or not someone who was willing to spend hours doing this was actually sane these levels created a lot of controversy however they also sparked devin into popularity and eventually made him win best art creator in the geometry dash 2021 awards while not necessarily for these levels they definitely helped spark the popularity necessary to win the competition as a whole however man man and red rooms was very very talked about for a really long period of time because of the imagery that was in the level and a lot of people were questioning whether or not these were depictions of a real life events as red rooms are a huge huge conspiracy online whether or not the existence of red rooms were actually a thing exo and conical depression by karma l i'm going to put these both here at the same time because they are very much controversial for a lot of the same reasons monica depression was the first one and it was made as kind of like a joke just to like test karma l's ability to make something stupid while both of these levels were rated despite the lack of block design and design in general a lot of the discussion and controversy surrounding these levels boiled down to they were only rated because karma l made them a lot of people do still call exo and console depression layouts and to a lot of people conical depression and exo is the the definition of robtop has a creator bias if he likes a creator he will rate their level regardless of quality conical depression and exo to a lot of people is just the depiction of that bias would kid and god eater by jakers and noble boy respectively i'm going to uh box these two together simply because they're controversial for more or less the same reason while not necessarily the exact same type of legal trouble both of these levels have been under fire for legal trouble for those who do not know especially god eater was removed from the servers and re-uploaded under the new name of astral divinity due to an alleged copyright infringement on the ip of god eater owned by bandai namco forcing noble boy to replace one of the parts as well as change the name of the level wood kid on the other hand has been under fire because jakers stole art from people without giving credit as well as not being allowed to use the song made by wood kid which was the song run boy run after being directly confronted by the creators and artist wood kid for using their song without permission showing that geometry dash levels despite the game being not that huge has a real life consequences if used to infringe copyright both the god eater and the wood kid situations have been very very huge and shows that geometry dash is more than just a game where you can just do whatever you want devil vortex by rustam this is a controversy that never really got closure ass one thing that happened after the upload of devil vortex was that after tosh deluxe verified it he showed the level and showed everything including the amount of objects in the level and what happened then was that miraculously and mysteriously a set of 54 saw blades appeared on top of the level which a lot of people started speculating whether or not tosh lux had used a semi-auto to complete double vortex and verify it though we never really got any closure as tosh deluxe denied the allegations the saw blade situation ended up being a very large controversy and still a lot of people to this day do believe that devil vortex is a hacked verification and should be re-verified by someone else so that we can get closure on the level however due to the fact that target lux has denied it we haven't never really gotten an answer to whether or not denver vortex was hack verified ocular miracle the level had to be split in three reason being was the fact that the level upon release was so massive that a large majority of players could not actually open the level and when they opened the level it very often bugged out causing the level to appear entirely empty making it so that people could beat the level in approximately uh two seconds another thing and another byproduct was that the level was so heavy on the back end of jumper dash that it often cost a lot of major vehicle bugs within the game making it so that all the graphics in gd just didn't properly work so the level had to be split in three and uploaded to three separate accounts and all three levels ended up getting rated good job rob top well well optimized game love to see it next up is battle of the shades this level was controversial for a weird reason what happened with battle of the shades was that the creator of battle of the shades updated it once just to like update it because he wasn't fully happy with the level and upon the level getting a lot of attention for the update he updated it multiple multiple times entirely redecorating it and structuring the level's gameplay out entirely different to like continue gaining popularity and gaining clout for the level itself up to a certain point where the level just didn't end up getting unrated despite the level getting updated to a point where it was genuinely impossible he went from being like an easy demon to going into being an extreme demon that would arguably place on the top ten while the level was reverted back to its original state and locked from ever being updated again the level did spark a lot of discussion a lot of controversy about whether or not creators can and morally should be able to update their levels to a certain extent changing up stuff like gameplay and decoration as a whole requiem has had multiple controversies over the years first and foremost was the disturbing backstory and depiction of sophilia another drama and controversy that requiem was three was the verification drama xylonox was originally going to be the verifier however for some reason lethal fusion just decided to kick silence as the verifier of requiem and made it an open verification and when very few people ended up going for requiem style knox picked it up despite not being allowed to buy late fusion and verified it anyway as for recent years when requiem was finally raided after multiple multiple years going unrated one of the compromises that were made was that there was a giant middle finger in the level and robtop went in directly himself without permission from xylene knocked early fusion and just removed the inappropriate art of the middle finger censoring the art that was in the level which sparked a lot of discussion in the genre dash community and questioned whether or not robtop should have the integrity to remove such things from levels peaceful was a level that was riddled with disturbing imagery it is based on a an old animation where this cutesy little flower garden devolved into a disturbing and rather gross depiction of stuff like trypophobia where it's just an unsettling and borderline disgusting thing to look at and it created a lot of discussion just for the disturbing imagery alone however it was also riddled with controversy because of the fact that it was basically unplayable the amount of objects necessary to create the creepy atmosphere that it had in the very end of the level was so much so that the level was literally unplayable people who showcased the levels such as viprine and nexus had to say and disclose the fact that they did not actually play the level it was entirely speed hacked it was impossible to play the level above like 10 frames per second making the level pretty much unplayable for anyone adding to the creepy nature of the level itself phenytophobia is a rather innocuous and harmless controversy however the controversy surrounding foundaphobia is more or less just nobody can agree on the difficulty some say seem to say that it's an easy extreme demon others are on the fence of whether or not it should be an insane demon at all and some say that it should be as low as hard demon a lot of people say that it should be like a medium range to hard insane demon and there seems to be no end to the discussion of whether or not thanophobia is the right difficulty and nobody seems to want to agree on the difficulty of the level itself liak was at the height of the acute discussion whether or not accused should be the easiest and should be the standard for extreme demons the difficulty of layout was very very controversial as it's a learning level with a lot of clicksync and nobody could really fully agree whether or not the level was hard or not some even going as far as saying deadlocked is harder than layout the layout difficulty drama basically just boiled down to the level is learning but it's not hard therefore it shouldn't be an extreme demon it's not a hard level it just takes a little bit of time to learn so it sparked the discussion of should the amount of time it takes to learn and be a factor in whether or not the level should be this or that difficulty tartarus by dolphy the tartarus discussion basically started with the fact that a lot of people claim that delphi stole in quotation marks the verification after mosley's hard work trying to verify the then impossible level a lot of people felt that mosey had the rights to be the verifier of tartarus after spending over 200 000 attempts and being the pioneer in the showcase that turtles was actually possible and then dolfie came out of most mostly nowhere and beat it just a couple weeks before mosey ended up completing tartarus himself there were a lot of accusations towards dolphy a lot of people trying to frame dolphy as a hacker and trying to get the fame for himself however after getting debunked dolphy ended up being the legitimate verifier of tartarus and is now sitting on his account mosey ended up being the first victor of tartarus very soon after however it ended up being a very huge discussion especially considering the fact that it ended up being russian versus english gender dash community is going head to head of whether or not tartarus was rightfully one or the others the hell series is controversial in the sense that a lot of people just don't like the levels they are often spearheaded in the sense that they are generic hell levels that have just redecorated old bad levels that have tarnished the demons list people just generally do not like them because they were created at the height of the the hell theme hate and despite all that they still ended up getting raided and a lot of people just do not like them and even today the levels are very controversial in the sense that a lot of people find them to be some of the quote unquote worst extreme demons while in storeflies defense the levels are just more or less an archive of old impossible levels the levels are still irritable with controversy and a lot of people are very adamant about whether or not the levels are good or bad bloodlust by noble boy the main controversy behind bloodlust was the fact that a lot of people were upset about the fact that nobody was taking too long to verify bloodlust he broke the 100 000 attempt barrier which more or less had never been done before and bloodlust was long awaited a lot of people were waiting for a really long time for the level to release and it was one of the most ambitious levels at the time blood was taking this long to get verified was an entirely new concept for the community we were not used to levels taking more than just a few months to get verified as it was the first like proper breach of difficulty at the time additionally plasma pulse finale had come out a while earlier and when bloodlust was released there was a huge discussion whether or not plasma was finale or bloodlust was harder and it split the community in half as no one could really seem to agree whether or not ppf or bloodlust was the harder level and even today you do see occasional discussions whether or not ppf or bloodlust is the harder level as bloodlust today is often considered to be an overrated level despite the fact that it doesn't really get moved around on the list the molten gear drama started out with the fact that manix's old fusion c was just not getting verified verifier after verifier could not verify it and just ended up dropping the level because of the fact that they did not want to fix bugs in the level and it was just passed around to all their friends after a certain amount of time manix just straight up canceled the level as no one seemed to want to verify the level noble boy in his own words was at his peak in his ego era when he thought he could do everything as it was soon after bloodlust's verification double boy being very prideful of his part that was made in old fusion c said that he could just verify the level but madness did not approve of this verification as he had picked up bloodlust prior and turned down fusion c in the past nobody ended up picking up fusion c himself and despite the fact that manage did not approve of this there ended up being a huge discussion whether or not novel boy actually could verify the level without the host approval despite the fact that number boy had his own part in it the ultimate face just essentially was a huge hacking scandal and andromeda a very respected player at the time was accused and proved to hack the level and also ended up confessing to the hacking as a whole the level after that ended up getting nerfed into the state that was the previous version of the ultimate phase which was the level that ended up getting raided however after that many many years later andromeda ended up re-verifying the level that was originally hacked and then reverted to its original state now being much harder than the level that was originally rated phobos the original phobos was an old hacked level and it was hacked by tigersec who claimed to have verified the level which was harder than bloodbath at the time it was then rated and placed on the demons list however upon getting caught hacking the level was then unrated and kind of just forgotten and deleted until karma l picked it up and verified the level without really changing anything which is why we have a lot of the jank and a lot of the visual bugs in the level i'm god by v list was an incredibly controversial level upon release as after it got raided it got criticized a lot for it being incredibly simple incredibly slow and very repetitive having very few inputs very little gameplay changes and very very lacking decoration overall and a lot of people were mad about it because the level was reasoned as a good level because of the fact that it had a deeper meaning whether or not it really does have deeper meeting is up for interpretation however it did spark a lot of controversy as people who just did not agree with the rate whatsoever not necessarily because the level itself was bad but because of the fact that it was very plain dare a nostalgist was made as a level to just have a stab at old players traxxas made the level just to appease to the old players because people at the time were criticizing them for creating levels that weren't really geometry dash levels people weren't really happy with the path that triaxes and other creators were taking to create levels as this was around the time when the gd editor was given a lot more options to create more diversity and people were mad about that triaxes created their nostalgists which was more or less just a layout to appeal to those old players and ended up getting featured despite the lack of decoration and people were not very happy about it let's put it that way zodiac after tech became the first victor of zodiac zander admitted to hacking it and tech was given the conundrum of whether or not he should be the rightful verifier and have the level move to his account after denying the fact and wanting to be first victor and not verifier the level kept being on xander's account but was eventually moved over to bionx account multiple years later however zodiac was a very large thing as he sparked the question how many of the top levels have been hack verified as no one could really tell why or how xander hacked it he just kind of confessed to it himself leaving the question in the air how many times have levels been hack verified without people actually knowing bliss is a level and collaboration between burgos and marwick two very popular creators and to a lot of people is just a layout it's a layout with some effects and some color flashes and it sparked the discussion of should layouts be rated and r levels like this layout or other effect levels it uses mostly only basic blocks however with the effect and the flashes and some of the decoration used in the level there was a huge discussion sparked whether or not the level is or isn't a layout and should those types of levels be rated it was a long lasting discussion and i don't really think we ever came to a definitive conclusion but levels like that have been rated more in the future save as by par this level was in controversy for not necessarily a good reason in my opinion i'm trying to keep this video as objective as i possibly can however i do think that this was a rather silly controversy to put it that way a lot of people were questioning whether or not you can use meaning as a scapegoat when judging a level save as was a level created to illustrate the the brains dissolve into alzheimer's and general dementia and a lot of people were questioning whether or not the terrible gameplay of the level could be excused by the meaning of the level as the level was rather cluttery and very messy to put it that way both in terms of gameplay and in terms of decoration and people are questioning whether or not the fact that the meaning of the level and this message behind the level was a good scapegoat and a good excuse to why the level played so terribly anyway that was the most controversial levels did you guys enjoy it please let me know i would truly appreciate it as i mentioned before if you do want to see any specific levels covered in more detail let me know in the comments i will try and make a video a little bit more detailed about situations to my the best of my ability but anyway thank you for making my day better hope miner's a little bit better too each year and stay healthy stay hydrated and i'll see you guys later peace out everyone [Music] so [Music]
