i’m honestly so glad that 2.1 lasted this long, leaving the community with the same tools for 7 years is what us driven this game to expand in such an insane and unique way. all the progress made during the 2.1 era will continue into future updates too, so it’s not like it going to go to shit now
I'm so excited for this all. Genuinely tearing up thinking about all the times i tried to do scale with crazy frame-by-frame animation or clever movements, the times I had to use giant scale hacked glows, using teleport portal bugs solely to adjust the camera slightly, etc. 2.2 is gonna be REVOLUTION!!!

Is it weird that I'm honestly a bit scared of 2.2? Like I started playing this game in 2.0, and I feel like everything I know about it could get turned upside down by doubling the features, making the levels feel completely different, and all kinds of stuff like that. I'm probably afraid of nothing, but I cant help but feel a little nervous about the implementation of all of this new stuff in a game we've cherished for so long as it is
@@GDColon good to know someone is on my side. Honestly when I voice my concerns I get a lot of "It'll be fine" and stuff like that which really isnt the point
Same here. I’m uncertain as to how platformer levels will be managed in the update, and one of my fears is that camera controls is about to give us the worst level-creating trend we’ve seen yet.
@@GDColon Were all scared We know that it's going to be early 2.0 on drugs Way more hype, way more features we aren't ready for... Glad to have people who agree!
My favorite thing about 2.2 is the level Dash. It has very fun gameplay. For those who are having trouble with the difficulty, you’ll get used to it later on.
The farewell really got me. I started playing in 2016 and I myself am in University rn. Time flies, but damn seeing all the progress & history being made in the GD community was beautiful.
Omg, you showed off Swagger by me and DangerKat, I'm so honoured! (at 13:04) Anyways, I'm pretty excited for 2.2 and I hope some of the things you found get a little fix in a later small update for 2.2! I've also experienced 2.1 within my entire high school life and now at 1 and a half years of university. It's insane to think that 2.1 was that long and I'm hyped for a new era of Geometry Dash!
swagger's one of my favorite levels to come out of 2.1, i couldn't NOT show it. it's a perfect example of "seven years of 2.1 only forces the community to cook harder than ever"
Thank you for having a moment with everyone today to say goodbye to 2.1. We’ve had good times yet we’re so happy but so sad at the same time. Thanks GD Colon
I think it would be really cool if the achievements were something like “beat a demon in practice mode in 1 attempt” or other things that cause players to beat levels in unexpected ways, other than sheer grinding.
28:09 tearing up rn because of how much happiness this game has brought us. This video was, like so many of yours, amazingly well put together, really well done colon. see ya in 2.2
I like how your videos are the most clear and structured among all gd youtubers. Minimal muddle and full disclosure of the topic makes this the best breakdown of the trailer that I've seen so far.

@@PrismTheLoseryou completely missed the point, the update was so big it took more than 7 years to finish which couldve been chopped down into 10 smaller batches as the video said
The ending got me in the feels, man. I’m gonna miss 2.1 so much. This was a big journey for me to make as a creator, a player, and a community member. Thanks. Also I laughed so many times throughout this video you’re like the only person who can make me laugh consistently I loved the Wulzy particles
It's been nearly a year since 2.2 released, and I still remember trying to figure out the new triggers, blocks, and why the game would keep crashing from middle grounds like it was yesterday. Ive only been playing since early 2020, but it's felt like a lifetime. anyway nice vid mr cologne
So much things happened since I first played this game in January of 2018. I made so many friends, lost a chunk of them, discover myself, grow wiser, gone through much good and much bad. This update really feels like closing that chapter of my life and starting a new one. I have seen so much historical moments and it feels like 2.1/2.11 represents such a huge chunk of my life. I'm really emotional right now.
I think the 50/100 key chests should guarantee an icon/decent reward, but the other ones still have good chances. Another thing is chest achievements. Basically you can get the icon guaranteed from the achievements or try your luck in a chest. I think that would be cool.
That "Farewell 2.1" chapter hits really hard man, I started playing GD back in 2015 when 2.0 was released and Cyclic wasn't considered a hacker, I was 14 years old I discoved your channel in 2017 I think when you uploaded the "A day in the Dashlands" video. Now I'm 22 years old, studying medicine, and waiting for 2.2
Thanks for having this moment and sharing your moment with us, Colon. 2.1's really been a fun ride and I hope we'll just get more community fun and craziness to keep this game running. Thank you and happy 2.2
I'm excited to see what modding will be like in 2.2. The modding community has grown so much in the past few years and we've seen so many improvements, but we also have a lot of leftover baggage from times when we knew less about the game. While I'm a tad sad about having to rework everything I've done, I'm also kinda really excited to see gd.h finally phased out for good and see a new chapter of Geode-lead modding truly begin
I hope there's an option to control the amount of particles that appear, because if creators abuse them (which they will) then performance is kind of a big concern
I feel like you said most of our thoughts perfectly at the part in the end. This game has been part of my life for like... half of my life lol. I'll miss 2.1 but I can't wait for 2.2 :D
20:06 This is possible. "Animate on Trigger" option allows activating particles with an Animate trigger. Tie a free group to a particle emitter and animate the group with an ID of 1.
this was certainly a breath of fresh air in the midst of the 2.2 content spam coming from one particular creator. I absolutely love that sendoff at the end, it really does feel like the end of an era for GD. I started playing GD Lite in 1.9 when I was in elementary school, and I convinced my grandma to buy me the full game on my now-dead tablet very shortly before 2.0 came out. Update 2.1 came out when I was in 6th grade, and I'm now almost done with my first semester at university (was taking a US History exam while this was premiering, i think it went rly well for once). no idea what else to say lmao. video good. remember to use your turn signals
really makes me feel old 🥲i remember when cataclysm 1.0 hit and bloodbath's release, some of my memories even go as far back as before levels looked good at all and were like 80% or more just untextured blocks... now most of the vets are college age and up lmao day after day sunk trying to beat levels that i now consider easy like blast processing back when i was super young, and now i'm usually so wrapped up with classwork or other responsibilities that this game is going to be an excuse to procrastinate kek
20:27 Colon: Whatever happens, please just don't do this stupid retrovision thing. Also Colon: *Makes an entire level with it active at all times in 2.2*
I'm not ready to let go of 2.1, this update has made me so many beautiful memories. But I agree with what you said, its time to move on from this and look forward to even more incredible things while not forgetting where we came from. Geometry Dash has been a huge part of my life and I'm excited to see what the future holds! ❤❤❤
19:22 I think that's a variant of the spider orb that acts in the given direction, since it doesn't spin like a dash orb, and flips you to the surface in that direction like an arrow trigger..? Loved the vid btw :)
No but like, seriously, obligatory essay time since I have a lot to say about that that ending was crazy. It's been like 3 years at least since I went away from the GD community. But in truth, I never did. I lost interest in the kind of GD content I used to like, but this game still has an amazing potential at it's core and it was fun to watch it grow still for the last 3 years. The fact that from me being a cringe middle school GD kid in 2017 to second year of university, I can still enjoy the game through new ways is crazy on its own. But this video made me realize just how much I wish I could enjoy the 2017 era again the same way I did actually being there. And I'm really feeling like 2.2 is just the perfect occasion for that. It's got the wonders (foreshadowing) of discovering the game again, but also the wonders of playing an update I was waiting for during the last 6 years. And I think its release time helps it a lot, because Super Mario Bros Wonder did pretty much that same mix of bringing Mario back and making the game I would've imagined as my favorite game ever as an 8 year old. All that for a simple conclusion. Thank you for bringing these emotions with this ending. Because I never would've truly realized how huge 2.2 actually is even beyond how much content there is. Thank you all for these 6 years.
I know you may know this but to make your own swing game mode, you combine a dual and a ball portal and on the top, you can place gravity orbs and place blocks below it and boom, you got you own swing!
As an animator and graphics designer I really consider checking out these platform editor options. As shown in the video it almost looks like a simple game designer. Absolutely love it
It''ll be a little sad because 2.1 was a big tie but I am excited for 2.2. I'll just miss the good days. But being able to do this kind of video this long and this much effort, I could never. Keep doing what you love and don't stop entertaining us!
One of my concerns is that what happens to the mods (megahack v7, Better edit ,etc) they will probably break unless the creators of the mods update or create new version which might mean leaving the other old versions to the dust.
@@GDColon very unrelated question to anything here, but what editor software do you use? Or various other editor software that are free and great quality? Things I already tried. Capcut is extremely annoying to deal with. Filmora or whatever it was required me to change the consoles of my laptop which I do not mess with at all.
@@DimenSpadXyour 28 comments on this channel is you crying about people worrying about 2.2, I have a few comments on this channel, but that doesn't mean I've never watched him, but clearly you were born after Subzero was made
as a creator, im genuinely scared of the 2.2 editor because it will be INSANELY overwhelming, im worried ill think i cant use it and get sad because its happend before.... i know however i will figure it out because im smart and ive been creating for 6 years, but im really worried for newer creator because of this same issue..... hope there are tutorials made quickly!!!!!
there's also the 2.2 gdps that has a lot of creators that already know how to use some features so maybe they will make tutorials very fast when 2.2 drops
Review rest in peace, Juniper, my daughter made that level in Geometry Dash. It was her first ever level. It was written in a and you might get started on it wrapped up gave the best review on it.
I'm absolutely thrilled to create new things in the upcoming update and play around with the new features haha, can't believe 2.1's coming to a close sometime soon, very surreal stuff
The most exciting aspect for me and one I feel like people are overlooking is the possibility for megacollabs to feel like real game studios with the amount of specialization that can happen now. I wouldn't be surprised if not too far in the future we get a megacollab with specifically a particle specialist or an area/gradient specialist or something like that, at least until people get more familiar with the editor and can do it all themselves
My only concern is about the rating system. The rating system and qualification will be trough the roof with this update making it harder for others to get a rated level. I really hope there will be a rating system for mods and or elder mods!
Colon can control us. At any moment, he can make us shocked, sad, happy, laughing, whatever. Either way, can he make RobTop not stressed about this update? Edit: OMG COLON GAVE MY COMMENT A HEART
This video honestly made me realize just how big the update is. It's really hard to tell what it will do to the game, but i'm convinced we didn't wait 7 years for something disappointing. I changed over all that time, and this game should do so as well at some point, it deserves that. (you really got me with the sentimental bit at the end. The SM64 Credits theme also just hits different i guess) Also i have the same celeste shirt as the one you're wearing at 28:07. very based honestly
7:30 Yeah, I double checked your math here. It’s actually only 1,825,000 orbs, not 182.5 million. I freaked out a little when I 1st saw that number. I currently only have 1,280,000 orbs & I’m in the top 2,000 on the global leaderboard so it’s still gonna be a massive grind, but I can only imagine players starting from 0 orbs.
I think we should have a separate volume slider for menu/death/clear etc sfx and custom sfx, that way demon grinders can hear cool sounds like a bridge breaking for example while not hearing the death effect every 5 seconds
This is such an amazing video to wrap up this absolutely game-defining era of Geometry Dash that is 2.1... *27:42* Was definitely my favorite part -aside from fucking Peaceful being shown... God why is this hellhole not dead yet.- I too am not ready to part ways with this spectacular chapter of the game that is 2.1, even when I was given over 6 years to prepare. It has been a wild ride that went from zero to hero and it lasted about 2/5 of my entire life so far. But, oh well, things have to change, and even though 2.2 is in my opinion the single most bloated and overstuffed mess of an update to ever be conceived in the history of games... It's nevertheless going to be *pretty gosh darn EPIC!*

really makes me feel old 🥲i remember when cataclysm 1.0 hit and bloodbath's release, some of my memories even go as far back as before levels looked good at all and were like 80% or more just untextured blocks... now most of the vets are college age and up lmao
day after day sunk trying to beat levels that i now consider easy like blast processing back when i was super young, and now i'm usually so wrapped up with classwork or other responsibilities that this game is going to be an excuse to procrastinate kek
20:27 Colon: Whatever happens, please just don't do this stupid retrovision thing.
Also Colon: *Makes an entire level with it active at all times in 2.2*
I'm not ready to let go of 2.1, this update has made me so many beautiful memories. But I agree with what you said, its time to move on from this and look forward to even more incredible things while not forgetting where we came from.
Geometry Dash has been a huge part of my life and I'm excited to see what the future holds! ❤❤❤
the thing is we're forced to move on bc 2.1 doesn't even work on most of my devices anymore due to it being 32 bit and not 64
the 2.1 tribute at the end was utterly beautiful 🥲
Rob is the only dev that can spend 6 years on an update and still be loved by the community
Wow, Colon hit trending again, Great Job.
I've already watched this video 4 times in 24 hours of it releasing
no
Only reply to XcreatorGoal? I love your channel
Hi XcreatorGoal!
yes
Ok it is starting getting emberassing
yes
19:22 I think that's a variant of the spider orb that acts in the given direction, since it doesn't spin like a dash orb, and flips you to the surface in that direction like an arrow trigger..?
Loved the vid btw :)
actually cried at the end, so glad to be a part of this game ❤
Colon why did you have to genuinely make me cry at the end how did you do that
No but like, seriously, obligatory essay time since I have a lot to say about that
that ending was crazy. It's been like 3 years at least since I went away from the GD community. But in truth, I never did. I lost interest in the kind of GD content I used to like, but this game still has an amazing potential at it's core and it was fun to watch it grow still for the last 3 years.
The fact that from me being a cringe middle school GD kid in 2017 to second year of university, I can still enjoy the game through new ways is crazy on its own.
But this video made me realize just how much I wish I could enjoy the 2017 era again the same way I did actually being there. And I'm really feeling like 2.2 is just the perfect occasion for that. It's got the wonders (foreshadowing) of discovering the game again, but also the wonders of playing an update I was waiting for during the last 6 years.
And I think its release time helps it a lot, because Super Mario Bros Wonder did pretty much that same mix of bringing Mario back and making the game I would've imagined as my favorite game ever as an 8 year old.
All that for a simple conclusion. Thank you for bringing these emotions with this ending. Because I never would've truly realized how huge 2.2 actually is even beyond how much content there is. Thank you all for these 6 years.
I know you may know this but to make your own swing game mode, you combine a dual and a ball portal and on the top, you can place gravity orbs and place blocks below it and boom, you got you own swing!
As an animator and graphics designer I really consider checking out these platform editor options. As shown in the video it almost looks like a simple game designer. Absolutely love it
I can barely comprehend half the triggers that are already in the game and now youre telling me I have to learn 80 NEW ONES???
I'm down.
20:17 you know ive been watching you for 4 years and it is very surreal seeing my creation in here.
Good job bro you deserve the shoutout cuz it’s super good
Yooo congrats that’s awesome
IKR
I'm actually freaking out rn
You deserve this so much
Official dre
Can't wait for colon to upload the next video in like 3 months
I absolutely love the fact that the Demon Guardian's voice lines are just random stock footage Robtop found.
15:43 you forgot one, "want to turn a level into a congergation jumpscare, you an do that
wow just wow, this video was amazing, the only thing i could do was clap at your amazing work, keep up the good work and salute to 2.1!
20:30
Colon: Don't do this stupid retro version thing.
Also Colon: *makes a level uses retro version*
It''ll be a little sad because 2.1 was a big tie but I am excited for 2.2. I'll just miss the good days. But being able to do this kind of video this long and this much effort, I could never. Keep doing what you love and don't stop entertaining us!
One of my concerns is that what happens to the mods (megahack v7, Better edit ,etc) they will probably break unless the creators of the mods update or create new version which might mean leaving the other old versions to the dust.
they'll be updated very quickly!
also get hyped for everyone to use geode
@@GDColonI'm sure most will, but it might take a while
yep
@@GDColon very unrelated question to anything here, but what editor software do you use? Or various other editor software that are free and great quality?
Things I already tried.
Capcut is extremely annoying to deal with.
Filmora or whatever it was required me to change the consoles of my laptop which I do not mess with at all.
5:05 Flashbacks
Generation retro
I have beat that
(IT SUUUUUCKS!)
Lunar ocean was worse lmao
16:00 heck yeah we need these congregation jumpscares
GD Colon, I just wanted to say that I love your content and I can see your effort you put into your videos. :)
If I heard “I love GD Cologne” in a level, my life would be fully complete.
20:48 bro called me out😭
I wasnt really sure about 2.2 first, but now im fucken hyped for 2.2 this video showed really the true potential of 2.2
17:15 i'm praying rob added fart sound effects 💀💀💀
💀
No way he didn't
Let's goo a new GD Cologne video 🔥🔥🔥
Its gonna be difficult to say goodbye to such an influential update, but I'm ready
You gained a sub pal, I really like your content lmao. Recently watched half of your older videos 😂
17:52
metal pipe?
YOU KNOW WHAT
Dear god. What has he done?!
2.2 is really a combination of multiple updates at once
I feel like we're not ready for this but at the same time, we're never been that ready for it
Your mental health is on the rocks with these kinds of comments hahaha
@@DimenSpadXAnd your sanity is on the line bro, can't imagine how long you've been 'Ctrl+F'ing on comments that used the word "worried"
@@DimenSpadXyour 28 comments on this channel is you crying about people worrying about 2.2, I have a few comments on this channel, but that doesn't mean I've never watched him, but clearly you were born after Subzero was made
as a creator, im genuinely scared of the 2.2 editor because it will be INSANELY overwhelming, im worried ill think i cant use it and get sad because its happend before.... i know however i will figure it out because im smart and ive been creating for 6 years, but im really worried for newer creator because of this same issue..... hope there are tutorials made quickly!!!!!
there's also the 2.2 gdps that has a lot of creators that already know how to use some features so maybe they will make tutorials very fast when 2.2 drops
@@ayuu7 Thats true but there are so many other triggers and other 2.2 editor things that are NOT in the GDPS so this is, like, 15% true.
@@NQFgmd true
We already know toddler, Just don't be so loud with your whining.
Review rest in peace, Juniper, my daughter made that level in Geometry Dash. It was her first ever level. It was written in a and you might get started on it wrapped up gave the best review on it.
That’s awesome
I'm absolutely thrilled to create new things in the upcoming update and play around with the new features haha, can't believe 2.1's coming to a close sometime soon, very surreal stuff
19:01 I think the issue with mirror portals is the transition, rotation prob won't be an issue, just look at Super Hexagon/Open Hexagon lol
The most exciting aspect for me and one I feel like people are overlooking is the possibility for megacollabs to feel like real game studios with the amount of specialization that can happen now. I wouldn't be surprised if not too far in the future we get a megacollab with specifically a particle specialist or an area/gradient specialist or something like that, at least until people get more familiar with the editor and can do it all themselves
Keep dreaming about it, because I highly doubt it will be achieved.
HE WAS SPOT ON 10:38
My only concern is about the rating system. The rating system and qualification will be trough the roof with this update making it harder for others to get a rated level. I really hope there will be a rating system for mods and or elder mods!
I AINT GETTING A RATED LEVEL ANYTIME SOON, BUD.
Or just rework it entirely so that more kinds of levels can be rated in a more consistent manner
I'm starting to realize how much this update will change the game forever, feels surreal
In reality, if you put aside other people's opinions and focused on facts, the truth is that it is not so
@@DimenSpadXIn reality, if you could shut up, then world peace would finally arrive.
6:09 - Robtop switched servers, it will handle it.
Oh boy half a million people though then that’s choas
8:42 GD Colon being the most BASED person ever is just, AMAZING.
Colon can control us. At any moment, he can make us shocked, sad, happy, laughing, whatever. Either way, can he make RobTop not stressed about this update?
Edit: OMG COLON GAVE MY COMMENT A HEART
this is actually real
editing your comment removes the heart
@@lasagna3289 damn that’s tough
colon is my favourite gd youtuber :3 another great video!
The Video hasn't even realeased wtf bot
@@Vicente_52yeah but you can already tell it's going to be great
im not a bot, im just saying that.
@@Vicente_52
On the bright side, there are now actual speedrun strats for platformer levels without using skips or glitches for the other levels.
“2.2 is so soon!” - 1 month ago
This video honestly made me realize just how big the update is. It's really hard to tell what it will do to the game, but i'm convinced we didn't wait 7 years for something disappointing. I changed over all that time, and this game should do so as well at some point, it deserves that. (you really got me with the sentimental bit at the end. The SM64 Credits theme also just hits different i guess)
Also i have the same celeste shirt as the one you're wearing at 28:07. very based honestly
I’m really hyped for the moai icon🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿
6:03 that actually sounds kinda fun
17:07 I have no clue what FFT does, but considering how useful it is in audio processing, I'm excited.
7:30 Yeah, I double checked your math here. It’s actually only 1,825,000 orbs, not 182.5 million. I freaked out a little when I 1st saw that number. I currently only have 1,280,000 orbs & I’m in the top 2,000 on the global leaderboard so it’s still gonna be a massive grind, but I can only imagine players starting from 0 orbs.
just noticed this!! oops lol
@@GDColoni love gd colonge
@@LayTH_Hass3NGD PERFUME IS BETTER
@@IronGwaziJosephI love GD Deoderent
@@IronGwaziJosephuhm... no? gd deodorant is SO much better
You know it’s going to be a great day when colon uploads a new video
29:31 Thank you GDcolon, you too that was a very heartwarming thing to say
Thanks gd cologne
I love GD Cologne
lol
Great Video! Nice to hear your oppinions, it's very important
I can believe the community has come this far. I can’t wait for 2.2 :)
I think we should have a separate volume slider for menu/death/clear etc sfx and custom sfx, that way demon grinders can hear cool sounds like a bridge breaking for example while not hearing the death effect every 5 seconds
AAA accidentally hearted a bot that stole your comment instead of yours, but yeah I 100% agree. Hopefully it'll be in megahack if Rob doesn't add it
21:05 is crazy bro
This is such an amazing video to wrap up this absolutely game-defining era of Geometry Dash that is 2.1... *27:42* Was definitely my favorite part -aside from fucking Peaceful being shown... God why is this hellhole not dead yet.- I too am not ready to part ways with this spectacular chapter of the game that is 2.1, even when I was given over 6 years to prepare. It has been a wild ride that went from zero to hero and it lasted about 2/5 of my entire life so far. But, oh well, things have to change, and even though 2.2 is in my opinion the single most bloated and overstuffed mess of an update to ever be conceived in the history of games... It's nevertheless going to be *pretty gosh darn EPIC!*
