I think this is a cool case study on how conditioned we are as GD players to look for and appreciate specific factors in levels, seeing as how many fan favorites appear so low on this ranking. It's almost as of the community's perception of levels has been trained to look for "objective" qualities in levels. It's cool to see such an unfiltered opinion on levels. Good video!
Really awesome video! It’s cool to see different perspectives of these cool levels from the view of people who dont know how impressive most of these levels are (hence why nhelv is 47)
This was a really interesting video. It was fun to see Artificial Ascent still be considered one of the greats like 7 years after it's conception. My only issue is I feel you could've been EVEN MORE varied in your picks. Every pick seemed to be either really modern or polished to an almost immaculate degree. I think including older, or just more "raw" levels, levels that are more rough around the edges would've definitely made it even more interesting. Something like a Keias mega colab, TeamN2 level, It Back, OX, or one of the ancient creations like Silent Club, would've really given them a bit of whiplash and made them think about how building ability has changed over the years
This is a great video! Definitely shows that putting effort into your level's concept and central identity can go a long way. Also have to wonder what extent people ranked levels based on the music. A lot of the ~40-50 levels have VERY unapproachable songs (Nhelv, Neutra, Cold Sweat). Meanwhile, everything in the top has much more appealing songs. There's a lot of interesting takeways that the GD community could take away from this, especially with 2.2 coming out soon. I hope this video gets a lot of attention from the algorithm!
Nhelv is overrated, the concept is cool but whoever decorated it fucked up the execution and it doesn't look nearly as sleek as protoflicker, which has a song from the same album and conveys the songs tone way better and is overall way better executed. It's a shame, guilles layout was very cool and the level could have absolutely banged if it was in the right creators hands
@@alanhasmemes Let me know how Nhelv doesn't portray the song's tone well despite it having the same vibe as the music video. Also, you're comparing two completely different levels. Nhelv isn't supposed to be "sleek." It's supposed to be messy and crazy, that's the whole point.
@@zynthyx You see I agree and disagree. I think Nhelv is a bit overrated in it's deco, it's good, I just don't think it's all it's hyped up to be. It does execute on the vibe of the song and music video very well, it's just I and a lot of others don't like that vibe and look.
Hi I have a couple questions!! 1. Were the levels presented in a specific order for all the paricipants? (e.g. a google doc or sheet with a list of links that were in the same order every time) 2. Do you think some of the high scores given to Storming Summit and Halberd are in large part due to those scorers being familiar with Celeste/Kirby? 3. Anything to note about the music taste of your friends, or are they mostly normal? 4. Do you still have a spreadsheet of the data you used to calculate the averages? I'd be interested in having a copy to maybe look at some other statistics myself (e.g. standard deviation) Cool project by the way, it was pretty interesting to see!
1. I did give the levels to each participant in the same order, which they mostly used but overall they had free reign over which levels they wanted to see 2. Yeah, with them being very unfamiliar with the game having something recognizable made these levels have a big impact on some participants 3. I don't know the musical taste on most participants, though I do know some that took into consideration the effectiveness of music in each level 4. Unfortunately I do not have a doc :(
This list was really predictable, i thought the top 1 would be Black Flag, Falcon 16, Halberd or Storming Summit, i literally nailed the top 3 lmao. It's really interestin to see how non-gd players see the game. Tbh the list was kinda bad (even if i agreed with most of the placements) but respectable. great video man! keep the good work.
Really cool video, but would be nice to get the voices of the non gd players anyways i really enjoy the perspectives of non gd players when they see what the community has been up to. Keep it up!
Very very fascinating list to look at, it's pretty cool to see what non-GD players think of levels since there are things that we could consider looking really good, that outsiders would consider cluttered or over-decorated, which I think is partially why Nhelv placed so low Anyway I have nothing better to do with today, here's my ranking that will probably get me banned from playing GD (I have around 2.6k hours in the game, hardest is Acu but that 2 years ago) 1.

Awesome video! Very interesting to see how it all played out! One thing to possibly add is to highlight the highest and lowest rankings received for each level green and red respectively, so they can be seen a bit easier?
What a great video! I'd just like to add that you shouldn't try as hard to sync up your speech at the intro with the song as much you did. Ending the speech with the drop is good enough, the pauses in between kinda distracted for me. Loved the video nice work!
I love seeing a lot of people in the comments here get butthurt by other peoples opinions, like this youtuber got the most unbiased opinions he could by using non-gd players and people still lose their minds lol. Goes to show how critical gd players are of their creators
This ranking got me going like 47 Nhelv, finally its not getting overrated. 46-45 Neutra, Cold sweat, bruh 26 Limbo, excuse me wtf. 9 Slaughterhouse, ... 5 2, Rust, Black flag, your sins may be forgiven
Crazy to see these rankings! Cold Sweat and Nhelv are criminal placements, and I would've placed some levels a lot lower, but it's super interesting to see an outsiders perspective on these rankings
well, for some reason i decided to rank these myself before watching the rest of the video. it took a lot longer than i thought it would. keep in mind that i only think 5 of these levels are actually mediocre or bad. feel free to discuss in replies though. 1.

I literally thought to myself “Acheron is probably going to be quite low down”. Next placement was acheron. Also Limbo at 26 should be a literal crime. Arrest these voters officers.
Great video, I'm just confused as how TF Artificial Ascent placed so high. Sure, the community has attachment to the level based on it's history and legacy, but from an objective outsider standpoint, I struggle to see how it's even close to anything else in the top 20.

Really awesome video! It’s cool to see different perspectives of these cool levels from the view of people who dont know how impressive most of these levels are (hence why nhelv is 47)

cuz normal people don't have epilepsy shield which we geometry dash players develop at very young age@@zeipanda9887

i knew this was going to be a messy list when i saw Nhelv and Cold Sweat in the bottom 5. great video tho
And neutra and nightshade, 4 of the bottom 5 are epic rated let that sink in
THERES NO WAY LOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Having both my extremes make this selection (and Mk II being in the running) is super cool to see. Getting third is unreal.
congratulations, they’re both brilliant levels!

Thanks for having me. Was really fun to participate and the video ended up being really really well made!
ok
This is a great video! Definitely shows that putting effort into your level's concept and central identity can go a long way.

There's a lot of interesting takeways that the GD community could take away from this, especially with 2.2 coming out soon. I hope this video gets a lot of attention from the algorithm!
but what about a level like slaughterhouse or berserk? the song is similarly unapproachable?
@@TYsdrawkcaB yeah and there's also stuff like crowd control in the bottom
@@mx_ae exactly!
Slaughterhouse above LIMBO, Cold Sweat, Nhelv, Sunset Sandstorm, Quaoar, and so many other fantastic levels is nutty
I can understand Slh being quite jaw dropping for those who saw the level for the first time lol
I don’t understand at all how that even happened
I think they don't know what the keys of limbo do
This is so underrated tf
Giving Nhelv a 47 overall is criminal.
Nhelv is overrated, the concept is cool but whoever decorated it fucked up the execution and it doesn't look nearly as sleek as protoflicker, which has a song from the same album and conveys the songs tone way better and is overall way better executed. It's a shame, guilles layout was very cool and the level could have absolutely banged if it was in the right creators hands
the level was based on the nhelv music video… that was the goal for the level.

this is a certified banger
love the "bell sound effect" you picked for the outro
god that intro was just fantastic. can't wait to see the rest of it.

there is no shot this guy actually made a thumbnail

damn this is such an interesting idea, great video!
Imagine showing them yangire💀
That could easily be a top choice for sure
i think tapwreck was a pretty good call. the good song and deco fits the atmosphere very well. not to mention, the atmosphere itself is very daunting.
Slaughterhouse over limbo is crazy ngl
W video man i can't believe that you don't even have 300 subs. Most underrated content creator.

limbo at 26 was a plot twist
This guy is underrated imma subscribe
HOW DID THEY GIVE LIMBO 26.3
They’re not afraid of ranking not the best level lower, because they don’t care about backlash (like your comment).
I know je thought thèse were some rates at a 50 but it was the tank Lmao i was scared to see black flag at least
lotus flower at 41 is unbased asf and the fact it’s below waltuh white

Eyyy Apollo 11 top 10, absolute banger
Legendary channel name
i choke on milk too
I literally thought to myself “Acheron is probably going to be quite low down”. Next placement was acheron.
Also Limbo at 26 should be a literal crime. Arrest these voters officers.
Glow doesnt do as much for GD players since theyve seen the same style so many times, which might explain some of the results
Wow, I would've guessed Cold Sweat way higher, that level looks so fucking good
WHY NO NIGHT RIDER
25:00 “I like this one mainly because of the anime song-“
first of all this is a remix of a touhou song-
Seeing artifical ascent be placed above limbo is a crime against humanity.
500 views on this gem??
halberd is a kirby themed the level cuz the guy in the metal mask is meta night from kirby
How is limbo 26? I would rank it in the top ten
Misfire 50 is goofy as shit
1:36 what is the song in the background?
Solar wind by Jumper
Great video, I'm just confused as how TF Artificial Ascent placed so high. Sure, the community has attachment to the level based on it's history and legacy, but from an objective outsider standpoint, I struggle to see how it's even close to anything else in the top 20.
I refuse to believe slaughterhouse got a higher score than nhelv
And limbo
I feel like slaughterhouse is biased since a lot of non gd players already have seen it
No way it should be ranked so high bruh
misfire best extreme
Shinigami 🔛🔝😤🤘🤌🤙
Moral of the story: Slaughterhouse is so much better than Nhelv and like 20 other epic rated levels
misfire is a meme level which makes sense to be #50
NOOOOOO COLD SWEAT MY BOOOOOOY
Why the average going down isn't it suppose to go up?
One of them actually put Crowd Control at Nr. 1...
What is the song at the beginning of the video?
creo - flow
They did BROWNOIX dirty 😭😭 one of my favourite levels of all time
