"DEEP BLUE" by ImMaxX1 [All Coins] | Geometry Dash 2.2
796I got a little taste of puzzle platformers in some recently rated levels, but none of them were as full-fledged as this. There are roughly ten stages, which all fill up the entire screen. Your goal is to reach the bottom, both in each stage and the level as a whole, as each stage follows below the previous. The stages gradually introduce unique mechanics, such as the time-limited platforms, pink swirls that boost you, and invisible platforms that can be lit up temporarily. At first, a stage may use only one of these, making it relatively easy to clear, but the last stages mix them all together in clever ways. This can be a little confusing and overwhelming at first, but if you like puzzles it's worth beating in my opinion. It's very satisfying to figure out how to solve a stage and clear it.
The visuals go hand in hand with the gameplay as well. Using an underwater theme for this concept is a great choice, and ImMaxX1 implemented it very well. The block designs and decorations look really good across the board. Most importantly, the unique mechanics use colors that stand out while still fitting in in each stage. My favorite visuals are probably for the final stages, such as at 1:29, where the invisible blocks are covered in fog. It's a great usage of the new particles that fit perfectly with the theme. The small effects when they're toggled on temporarily is the cherry on top. Of course, the audio work is also on point, with fitting SFX when mechanics are used. It's also really cool how the song gets slower and quieter the further down you go.
From uploading some of ImMaxX1's works at the end of 2.1, I knew they wouldn't disappoint in execution, but this surprised me a bit with how clever the puzzle mechanics are. To get the full experience, I think you should try this out for yourself in-game without watching this video too closely. It will probably be rated 8 Moons, so it's not too hard. There are some neat coins for additional challenges like doing it in below 180 seconds and dying 0 times (each stage has a checkpoint).
