It's been 4 years since Dark Travel was made. This level was going to be made for GDS CC (Geometry Dash Discord Server Creator Contest), which has a rule of remaking levels that were submitted for previous contests. In this case, Dark Travel was submitted for Viprin Creator Contest 8 and it got 3rd place in the Unknown results. Remember that? So yeah, that's the reason why I started making this level. But the deadline was already due by July 22nd 2020. So I didn't finish it in time. But I took my time for 13 months in the making of the level and it's all worth it. I also did 142 streams of me building the level on my Twitch channel and I had a lot of fun building it. I hope you enjoyed all the building process if you were there.

About the level, this level is a remake of a level I made 4 years ago, which made me pop off in terms of my Geometry Dash creating career. This level has a lot of improved and new fitting parts along the way. Now that I have much more experience on creating levels, I know the best practices for making better gameplay and very appealing visuals. So yeah, hopefully this level is much better in almost if not every way. And I hope you enjoy playing it!

I just wanna say thank you to everyone who made this level possible. Any kind of support is very much appreciated.

    This level will become one of the most memorable and iconic levels to come in the game, you've truly outdone yourself with this one! GG! Cant wait to beat this myself some day

    Coin Guide: Coin 1: During the ship at the beginning, hit a glowing section above the saw at (0:10), then collect a skull after holding at (0:42). Then, skip the red orb at (1:02 ) and collect the coin by jumping before the blue pads at (1:11) Coin 2: Press the two buttons at (1:35) and (1:41) by skipping the gravity portals with a shorter hop, then hit a trigger at the top of the ship at (2:43), then collect the robot and mini portals at (2:47) and (2:50), before heading the downwards path at (2:57) to collect the coin Coin 3: Collect the two mini coins at (4:16) and (4:20) by skipping the green orbs, then jump onto the block at (5:12), before hitting the blocks at (5:23). Finally, collect the two keys at (5:37) by jumping onto a block and (5:54) by jumping earlier than needed and time the jump at (6:09) to collect the last coin. Enjoy :)

    Truly a masterpiece, great work :^)
  • @iitsmeromii
    Go at 69% Your chat: aint nobody got time for that
  • At 12:52 above the triple spikes it says “RIP Michigun”, his impact was incredible, and it makes me smile knowing he’s considered in this masterpiece. Great job Jonathan.
  • @d4ni3lytxddd11
    14:29 this part it's beautiful! This level it's a masterpiece, awesome job Jonathan :D 10/10
  • @loonietuunes
    The ship at 79% is nothing short of incredible. It keeps flipping through different styles and I love it so much. It's my favourite part of the level but that's not to say that I forgot about the rest too. Dark Odyssey is definitely one to remember. Amazing work, Jonathan!
  • @Alukian
    I just came across this on Viprin's channel... I haven't played as much GD as I used to, but Dark Travel was such an iconic level back in the day. This tribute is absolutely perfect. There's so many references to the original... It just... It's so good. I got chills while watching this and had to rewatch it multiple times afterwards. Absolutely legendary. The amount of detail into each section is astonishing. You are incredible... Thanks for making this. :D
  • @Ruckkuss
    The fact that this man pushed through to verify his level instead of getting someone better to verify it is incredible gg man
  • @noway7891
    84 percent ship part is the single best thing I have EVER seen in this game holy shit it made my jaw drop
  • @JamAttack
    The amount of work you put into your levels is insane and inspiring. The community and life you've been able to build is inspiring, and makes me long to find something like that. You're something else man, and this level is beautiful beyond words.
  • @s从
    The first Jonathan level to not have a killer jump at the end? GG, this level was really cool to watch and i'm sad that I was a few hours late, but either way it blows my mind to see such a creation be made by ONE person.
  • @poe_tay_toe
    I’m a bit embarrassed to admit that the ending made me cry a little bit... Srsly tho, this level is truly something else. It is definitely my new favorite level and the fact that this was all made solo just blows my mind. Bravo.
  • @VintagE-sk1hj
    JonathanGD makes a level for days straight while I'm lazy to make a medium length level
  • @axlax3268
    Plot twist: the there are no glitch effects the level is just that laggy.
  • A letter directly to JonathanGD Dear Jon, That was..... Unbelievably breathtaking. You took a beautiful level that already was popular, one that you had spent so long making. And then, you remade it completely, but this time you took your gameplay and upgraded it spectacularly to show us how your gameplay has improved. You, Jon, are truly something else in the GD community, have always stood out amongst the rest of us, always have been my all time FAVORITE Geometry Dash creator, and always will be. Please do not give up on this game, please don't stop making levels like this. You are wonderful and should be making FUCKING money doing this shit. Thank you for this beautiful level. My eyes will feast on this for many years to come. 12/10. Best regards, Andy
  • @masu5781
    One of the best structured levels ever. The progression as you go from the beginning to the climax and then fading out is amazing. It all feels extremely natural unlike many many other levels.
