Geometry Dash 2.2 added The Tower, and it's one heck of a platformer experience.
This was supposed to be a quick 5-10 video but oops I don't work like that.

    Okay but the final rating in the conclusion being a parody of the 2.2 release date announcement only for said rating to go down just because of the god awful blue coin located ironically in the EXACT SAME section is such a clever bit that perfectly summarizes like half of this video. Great job👍

    12:57 Holy crap I didn’t even notice the jetpack guy in the background of the elevator, thats so cool

    The fact Colon stuck with his word of positive vibes is very cool

    29:38:22 the moment when colon finally finished discussing the first frame of the first level of the tower
  • @sdslayer100
    Another Colon banger I don't know how you do it, but your videos are actually so rewatchable and this is no exception. I WILL be watching this video ten times in the next week 👍
  • @MoldyGD
    That ending bit with your score LOL how do you come up with these that was so peak 😭
  • @Eel_
    5:11 That has to be a devil vortex reference
  • @inkerJ
    The amount of times I didn’t know what to expect watching this really is really fitting for the vibes of The Tower
  • @RoseDingus
    my problem with the lack of checkpoints in many, MANY difficult platformer levels is a fun thing called artificial difficulty. if you dont make checkpoints, the level gets harder, as you cant start from the beginning of the room or something like that. eventually we may end up with top 1 platformers just being 30+ minutes long with tons of awful timings with absolutely zero checkpoints.

    This might be just me, but i personally always enjoyed your "yap sessions." While i still thought this video was both insightful and entertaining. It felt like you had a lot more to say on the tower, but didn't do so on the fear of "yapping to much" about useless things. From my perspective it never felt overdone and It's clear that you're passionate on GD, so we wouldn't mind hearing more extensive thoughts from you. It's part of what made your content unique. Tdlr: i don't think you should fear making your videos longer, since i always felt like your insight has valuable. Even if some others think you're over analyzing.
  • Cant wait for colon to yap about "Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Story of Undertale I fell from the light Talk? Or should I fight? Monster genocide This my Undertale I fell through a cave on Mount Ebott I faced an evil talking flower in a pot Explains the plot Wants me dead, wants me to rot Toriel saves me, takes me to her home And hooks me up with a brand-new monster phone Leaves me alone But I escape and meet some bones Should I be a pacifist? Or should I use my fists? I'm feeling evil, think I'll kill them all I'm homicidal and I've got a taste I want to wipe out the monster race I've got no patience, I've got no resolve I will slaughter, screw the dialogue I fell from the light Talk? Or should I fight? Monster genocide This my Undertale I'll slaughter Undyne, I'll waste who I choose With all this EXP there's no way that I'll lose Now watch me move I won't stop, I'm feelin' rude Asgore is shaking, he hears my approach I'll slaughter Sans and squash his bro like a roach Chara's my coach All these monsters I will poach Screw being pacifist I think I'll use my fists I'm feeling evil,"

    13:00 I love the crate that floats up and down trigger, it single-handedly revolutionised the entire game
