this level is bad but its not bad because it is trying to "create some sort of political state of gd message" that's just blatantly incorrect there is no message other than it looking cool, its bad because half the deco is literally just copied from a bilibili music video without any sort of credit or indication including the idea of having random words on the screen and the "tv static shit."

funny thing is that excellent567 is like a hundred times more artistically talented than the person who made the original mv so the best parts in here by far (and the only reason this is not getting a 0) are the two or so parts that are most original

This creator is trying so unbearably hard to create some sort of political state of gd message. They aren't wrong. GD art is absolutely subjective, and there is no such thing as good or bad necessarily. I think most people know this though, so who exactly is this message for? It's like the "9/11 was bad" meme but in gd. Just stating an obvious fact and making it seem like your level is this grand deep thinking artwork that not everyone will understand. And hey, maybe I too and not getting something about this level. Maybe there is a lot more to it than that. Maybe the creator had something more meaningful to those random assortment of words throughout the level. Nothing in this impressed me though. Anyone can create random sentences with no meaning or context. Those words have no interest to me. I also think that these super 2.2 effect things are just so bad. I know there are many different tastes and people love the whole tv static shit but just because it looks cool does not make it good. The 2.2 effects have just gotten so annoying to me and for some reason everyone who does this effect uses some weird miniwave spam or consistency clicking shit. Where are people coming up with this and why? And I also want to make it clear I'm not calling the gameplay bad because it looks annoying to play. I have given countless impossible levels high ratings. I barely care about playability. I just find the movements of this level to me subpar. They are not good. Basically what I'm getting at is I feel like this creator has some sort of superior ego going on where they think everyone who is interested in gd art, or rather too obsessed with it, is somehow below them because gd is not as serious as music or painting. I personally think that art is art regardless of what kind it is. Anyone has the choice to find what makes them happy. And gd as an artform is completely valid. There's nothing wrong with liking this game and having your own personal standards for what makes a level good or bad. And even now I feel like I'm probably misunderstanding something here but what I got out of the level just sort of annoyed me a bit. I don't like this. The message is basic and bad to some degree. The deco is bad and does not suit this game. Oh and I almost forgot to mention the ending of WELL RESTED being just copy pasted into this at the end. LOL yeah this is trash I'm sorry I'd love to be proven wrong about this but I just don't see how this could possibly be considered good if you have the ability to think.

(7.5-8)

I can see the appeal but it's not really my cup of tea

Honestly captures a lot of my feelings about Geometry Dash as a whole, a chaotic mess that builds off of preexisting pieces, yet it's beautiful in that sense. It's the reason I keep coming back. I want to see what this game evolves into next, and despite all my dooming, it's a game I hold close to me nonetheless.

I have a lot of intense thoughts about what I personally would like to see be done in the game, what my "dream level" would look like, and no existing level has fulfilled any of them. Metalepsis, however, is one of those levels that comes close. It's special in ways I can't describe and it gives me hope that other people out there have the same ideas as me. It scratches an itch deep in my brain unlike any other level, no exaggeration. Maybe there are others out there that are similar to this but, for now, Metalepsis is my second favorite level in Geometry Dash.
