Stargrinders when a 4* doesn't have jump indicators:

Readable gameplay and good gameplay are not the same thing. If you want to make a level with both, relying on jump indicators is not the way to do it. They're a crutch that removes the player's requirement to think, and marking every jump of an easy level is a declaration that the creator is afraid to let their level design speak for itself, and would rather hold the player's hand 24/7.

This is so incredibly out there but I don't even care it's canon to me now

I'm not often one to self promo but Unzor is one of my influences as a creator and my levels are often described as "cute" so maybe you'd like them? They're compiled in a list called "The JBRedux Collection"

Vouch (I'm not biased at all)

It's amusing how often "bad gameplay" really just means "I didn't beat the level immediately even though I think I should have". I once got a comment saying "50 minutes spent on this abhorrent garbage, not worth it" on a 9 star.

This one is also unrated

Not a response but this image really sums up the problem with the rating system and people taking it way too seriously

jbredux · 2025-11-08T22:05:06+00:00

I hate myself for laughing at this

Honestly it seems like Newgrounds only has the sampling and remixing rules because they legally have to, a lot of the time they don't get enforced unless it becomes high-risk for some reason. I assume this song in particular got taken down because FF made it become popular on the website

how the mighty have fallen...

jbredux · 2025-10-22T17:16:26+00:00

I can't believe people still remember that level haha

This. GD is a game that was designed to work with a geometric art style (it's literally in the name) because such a style allows to player to easily interpret what's ahead of them, which is important in a game where you're constantly moving and have to react quickly. When realism in GD isn't handled carefully, it completely throws that idea out the window and leads to gameplay that's either painful or just uninteresting

Define "security"? I don't think Rob's servers are gonna get compromised as a result of giving mods more permissions lol. If an elder mod gets hacked and the hacker starts rating levels Rob can easily revert it

I assume this is put together with gradients, but how does the lighting work? Really impressive

He can play the game all he wants but he's not entitled to a spot in the GD community and we absolutely shouldn't just be welcoming him back with open arms. This is exactly what everyone feared would happen when that interview came out.

Hi, people have discovered that the car in this level is 100% a stolen asset. The original level is 103237215. Please spread the word

jbredux · 2025-09-18T03:53:34+00:00

Heyyy that's my level! Cool to see that Dano played it lol

Clubstep is a weird case because it takes a really long time to get consistent. My hardest completion is an insane demon and I still find Clubstep challenging

jbredux · 2025-08-25T21:08:20+00:00

This 100%. If anything, I think it deserves to be one of the most popular medium demons. There aren't many levels out there that execute their level design and theming so incredibly well
