This is my favorite level in Geometry Dash and it has been for years at this point. Zylenox has been a creator that I had always admired due to the unique atmosphere that they are able to create with their levels, and I consider this to be their magnum opus. Paired with an amazing song, The End is one of those few levels where it truly feels like you are being taken on a journey, all while flowing smoothly and cohesively from the start to the end. From the predrop, to the drop, to the ending, you are encapsulated by the level's atmosphere and I truly did not find myself getting bored at any single moment during my experience trying to beat this level, which is especially rare for a level that's this long. The gameplay is fair, all while having that perfect blend of difficulty and fun. On paper, this shouldn't be a level that I enjoyed considering it's long length and asymmetrical dual gameplays, but The End does it right. I had zero complaints during my completion back in December 2021, and I have zero complaints now in August 2025. This level will always hold a special place in my heart.

One of the most overrated levels in the game the deco is ASS This is not a classic with hype and aura moments we have unironically seen better gameplay in cherryteam's levels plus zylenox is a furry whos UGLY AS SHIT holy shit put your fucking fursuit on when you play minecraft (NOT BIAS I like his other levels)

This level hits frighteningly close to home, there’s usually only so much I can like about a level with this flat colored art style but I feel too compelled by the idea of this being a homage to the kinda fiction I grew up with. This song is one my favourites to ever exist, it’s stupidly edgy yet captures the thoughts of a suicidal person perfectly, feeling this kind of hopelessness so early on in your childhood distracts from the dramatic undertone and makes the piece hit like magic. The level itself represents the song in a beautiful manner, the aesthetics are reminiscent of something like a self-expressive visual novel or an illustrated AU, when reminded of it I’m imagining I’m looking into the escapism of someone deep in despair. I love how the level progresses, there’s this constant unease in the visuals and only finally unravels this sense of dread once at the first drop, after that comes a small interval of relief inside a cozy bedroom but it still holds the suspense towards something sinister. The ethereal purple at the end makes for a gratifying climax, it’s alarming and shining almost blindingly with its only escape being the dark nothingness awaiting on the other side of the tunnel, death can be the only answer. It’s all a great display of pessimism and anxiety, the insinuated narrative is as depressing as the song itself yet it’s so poetic with its approach. Looking at it purely as a conceptual piece, I find a lot of comfort in how incongruous to the game it is, the level doesn’t seem to belong with any of gd’s preexisting concepts and it’s because it’s such an outlier that makes it this tiny bit more realistic and unsettling of an experience. My feelings here are very personal, I don’t think the level is all seamless, but it means a lot to me regardless
