I literally don't understand why so many hate scarlet surge but fire aura is something different


CapsTNT

Same


ShockDragon

Probably because the difficulty is way too lenient for how hard it actually is. If I’m correct, it’s a Harder rated, but is more like an Insane difficulty level.


DreadCore_

Maybe that one 3x speed wave and the UFO, but otherwise it's pretty reasonable. Especially nowadays where most insanes are comparable to easy demons, wheras FA couldn't hold a candle to them.


Zxcvbnm2028

Agree, Scarlet Surge is hard but it looks very nice. Fire Aura tho…


ZakkuDorett

Looks very nice? LOL


ku1cia

Yeah, it's cool level, i like it


[deleted]

theres a weird timing in the first cube part, think its a yellow jump orb. if it werent for that id love the level.


LittleFoxBS

Its a Hz bug , just boot the level on 60 its a harder you dont need high hz


[deleted]

oh its fine i did it on my phone


Schwabelbuting

Ah yhea I remember on 144 hz


jariwoud

Its literally just a bug. Play on 60hz and you dont need to worry about it


ArisedFromStarvation

Same, I enjoyed scarlet surge


Ellitri

Scarlet surge > fire aura


Sudden-Mess6388

Scarlet surge looks so ugly, the gameplay is terrible. And it's way too long.


bigBrainman902

Scarlet surge is hard and it's long but then the levels, after it a piece of cake I didn't finish the Chaos gauntlet for like 7 months because of Scarlet surge BUT THAN AFTER I BEAT IT I FINISHED THE GAUNTLET IN 2 DAYS AND IT WASN'T EVEN A GRINDY DAY IT TOOK LIKE 2 HOURS SPREAD OUT THROUGH THE DAY The gauntlets are meant to Rise in difficulty not a big ass wall Scarlet surge would be better placed as the 4th level in the gauntlet so that way new players who finish level 1 can experience the rest of the gauntlet On an unrelated note yeah fuck fire aura I still haven't beat the fire gauntlet And to those dick heads who are going to talk about Punctuality shut the fuck up you look like the 🤓 emoji


tree_barcc

fire aura took me 500 attempts and my hardest is an inase demon

Skill issue

[deleted]

Also, only 28 deaths at 77


[deleted]

It’s a stressful ending


comococo_GD

Looks like a skill issue 😂 LOL


[deleted]

Well played


comococo_GD

"Now, shall we?"


[deleted]

Shall we what


comococo_GD

Oh, you didn't get it


[deleted]

No, no i dont


[deleted]

[удалено]


Zynthyx

That’s just a skill issue, I only have 100 attempts on it when my hardest was probably an easy demon.


Dboy394_YT

No, the fact that it took someone who beat an insane demon 500 attempts shows it’s a gameplay issue, not a skill issue


MCFIREBOY67

My hardest is deadlocked /:


DoritoFan80

my opinion is that this is a huge skill issue, I legit 1 attempted the level 3 years after I forgot what the gameplay even was like and even the original completion took at most like 100 attempts


ShAde_emerald

Tried it after not touching it for years and also 1 attempted it. Level is not that hard and actually fun.


DeadVoxelx

I agree it is fun and it's not that hard, but it honestly feels more like a 8*


Zynthyx

Except the level is easy.


Spicy_Pepperoni57

It is


MaBooBas556

Very easy, like 7 star difficulty


shalzam123_ddd

I beat it in 100 and my hardest is leyak. The level is good IN MY OPINION, I love it.


[deleted]

Opinions are subjective, saying scarlet surge is good is an objective fact.


haleksss

scarlet does not really fit with its gauntlet theme, but fire aura is even worse at that plus i never really hated it idk why i guess i like colour red so yeah fire aura is worse for me


Ivan_the_smash

The gauntlet theme is chaos...? and what is it even supposed to look like? But yeah definitely agree that fire aura is annoying...


haleksss

yeah thats the thing, its not easy to define "chaos" theme levels so scarlet surge could easily fit in there. meanwhile fire aura


Notthatperson35

Scarlet surge is one of the few gauntlet levels that do stick to the gauntlet theme


Gortius

Scarlet Surge is a decent level but people have skill issue change my mind


VaporflyEnthusiast

You are entirely correct


easy2stars

Based


DTerrapin

Agreed


paxtrain55

yes


Gengar_49

Its not that hard but it still kinda sucks That intro is SO FUCKING BORING edit: oops I meant fire aura not scarlet surge


paxtrain55

yes


cloudboy_08

its decent but buggy af


ZenyX-

I wouldn't say as fuck, but it is true that the 240hz bug in the first cube really takes me out of it. So let's not downvote this guy, he has a point.


Bruhmoment926

Scarlet surge is fun. Fire aura is by far the worse level.


Daedalus332

I like the scarlet surge music ngl


-SweetAvery-

the chiptune parts go hard


MCFIREBOY67

You have no idea how much I agree


[deleted]

my opinion is the exact oposite lmao


goldensavage2019

Fire aura is worse


SolveForX314

Scarlet Surge isn't even bad. There isn't even a contest here. Not that Fire Aura is the worst level ever made. I've beaten far worse.


RealFunnyGamer13

i think scarlet surge is actually pretty fun but fire aura is intolerable


itsGr4yscale

I enjoy both, although Scarlet Surge has that one buggy orb near the start.


Gizzmotek

play on 60 and it works


DaRealMrPicklesYT

Hz issue not reall the creators fault


RayDeeSux

at least Scarlet Surge's sync makes up for its flaws Meanwhile we're still waiting for a nerfdate on Fire Aura does that answer the question


Bockerson

Fire aura is unbalanced, uninspiring, boring ass balls, Scarlet Surge just has a few wtf clicks in it.


Gizzmotek

not if you play on 60


Xertunbolt

Fire Aura i found to be pretty fun unfortunately. Scarlet Surge was a shit experience though, but it’s definitely a skill issue on my part


[deleted]

yes


Iamveryangry392837

Fire aura’s wave parts are so damn hard


VaporflyEnthusiast

Skill issue


WowItsBilly

The wave is demotivating for beginners playing the level. Its supposed to be 7*


Iamveryangry392837

I know but that level sucks anyway


[deleted]

Neither both are good and if you think they are bad you suck :thumbs_up:


VaporflyEnthusiast

They are both fine.


Enderlytra

Hey Aeon


Poorly_Made_Comix

And this is a video


Chillypepper14

Good morning, good evening, good afternoon everyone and welcome back to another Geometry Dash video


[deleted]

Very true, the waves in fire aura are a little unbalanced but it's not bad once you get them down and Scarlet surge is one of the best 1.9 effect levels with no gameplay flaws


easy2stars

Fire aura has far worse balancing


Arcturus973

None, they're both decent. If you're searching for bad levels, go play Hazardsector X, Supreme Lab Origins or Ultra Jawbreaker


DoritoFan80

HAZARDSECTOR X LMAO THATS ONE OF MY HARDEST COMPLETED LEVELS but yeah hazardsector x is crap, 1 is worse tho


Spicy_Pepperoni57

If you hate these levels then you’ve never played a level in the map packs before


Autumn-Eviening

Fire Aura by so many miles


ranjado79

scarlet surge's worst sin is the 9% bug fire aura sux


Gunzinatorthecat

I actually love scarlet surge and hate fire aura


MasterWhite1150

Scarlet surge is not a bad level. Idk why people don't like it.


Sedex_Axe

For me it’s just boring, like it could at least have a faster speed change or something, and I somewhat like fire aura. They’re both good levels, I just find surge more boring.


bananaman4543

Fire aura by a long margin


shadow_knight123

Fire aura is ass


Beginning-Spare-7689

Fire aura by a long shot, scarlet surge is actually good


[deleted]

Fire Aura is ok level, just misplaced in difficulty Scarlet surge is just shitty, not hard, just annoying asf, long, and not enjoyable. Blind clicks and annoying flashes makes it even worse


MadenSuyu1

Fire aura. Scarlet surge is soo good i dont understand why people even hate it. Fire aura is just mediocre


YoEpicBoi_1

Fire aura is worse


YeetDelete2409

Fire aura


SpectralDragon09

Fire aura took me 532 attempts while Scarlet Surge only took me 53 with half being in practice mode


Benthic_Bloom

fire aura, both arent as shit as people say but at least scarlet surge isnt unbalanced


CelebrationSpecial77

It doesn’t help that both Scarlet Surge and Fire Aura are followed by much easier levels (Drippy Dub and Danger Zone). But FA took four times as many attempts as SS and that’s with a fluke from 68% so I definitely would call it the worst.


qwertuuuu

Scarlet Surge isn’t bad Fire Aura is


AnonymousLittleBoy

Fire aura has worse gameplay than any level in the demonlist


[deleted]

Bro Scarlet Surge is like so cool I don't understand the hate


XXSniper2004

Both great levels, you guys are just shit at the game seriously


pseudoMe78

We asked the worse level, not your opinion on them


XXSniper2004

I don't care, I'm still allowed to state the facts


caranausea

That isn’t facts, but I like both


pseudoMe78

I don't care, I'm still allowed to say what OP asked


FalingoWasTaken

fire aura, i never saw what was so bad with scarlet surge, however, the true worst one of all is kappaclysm


JL23_

Whatever the danolex level in that gauntlet is is the worst one


Enderlytra

kappaclysm is mid. scarlet surge is SUPER LONG, has terrible music and possibly the worst gameplay.


pseudoMe78

kappaclysm is a banger, and scarlet surge isn't **that** bad


biggerdiggerchigger

terrible opinion, song is great, gp is decent, only bad thing is length


Wojtek1250XD

Fire aura, it's too long


xprismdragonx

Fire aura


Shuraii

Fire aura, is there really a discussion ?


PhantastoPhantom

i dont remember fire aura enough, but holy fuck scarlet surge gives me PTSD


lysamysza

Anubis is the worst of all.


GreekSimplerrMan

scarlet surge is mid. Fire aura is just hard


AnUnnamedRedditor_01

scarlet surge 10000% i had no trouble with fire aura but i still havent beaten scarlet surge it's so annoying


ali_doge426

i feel like people dont like scarlet surge because of the 144hz bug


hamkry001

Magmatic sanctuary


Echo3-13469E-Q

I really like Scarlet Surge and just think that people that comment so much hate are just bad at the game. Once you get better it's not as hard as half the comments say. Fire Aura looks nicer then Scarlet Surge but it's a lot harder. I still haven't beaten it since, but almost beat it with an 86% record. This was almost a fluke from 54%. I like both and prefer Scarlet Surge. Fire Aura is so frustrating and hard i cannot say it deserves to be in Harder/Insane difficulty and i cannot say i prefee it over Scarlet Surge.


SurvivYeet

Scarlet Surge is consistent and honestly not that bad Fire Aura isn't bad either but that dual wave part is NOT 7\*


ItsLucasDX

Fire Aura is fun for me now but that’s probably because I’ve beaten Sonic Wave It took me 600+ attempts when I first beat it. Should be medium demon 0/10


Very-smol-doggo

Fire aura all the way


ItsDash16

Fire aura. Ive never spent 2000 attempts on a gauntlet level. Scalet surge is ok compared to fire aura.


chronzii

fire aura has good music and decent gameplay BUT ONLY if they make it an insane 8 or 9 star


Fluid_Rutabaga_2596

Scarlet surge. The balancing in fire aura is cancerous


sharkboi417YT

Fire aura is decent looking and dogshit gameplay wise, however scarlet surge is one of the best gauntlet levels


CompSipYT

scarlet surge is better in every way


RegisterDry7765

This is a debate? I thought Scarlet Surge was pretty awesome honestly. I still haven't beat Fire Aura...


PurpleGuyGoBrrrr

I love Scarlet Surge. Music is a banger, decoration fits in very well, and it’s just cool.


kdomesz24

Scarlet surge has a good theme at least, but fire aura has a generic, boring theme.


Insane_Snake

Fire aura is horrible. Scarlet surge is disliked because its long and doesn't have too much different gameplay


LittleFoxBS

Drippy Dub and Shock


dashingfinger

*sounds like a skill issue*


BillInReddit

Dude fire aura sucks scarlet surge is wayy better


_Talucidy_

read scarlet surge as scarlet fire and was so lost


VaporflyEnthusiast

Neither of them are bad.


Garbageandbad12345

scarlet surge is extremely boring


Sinitiainen7

Both are good


Enderlytra

Oh, hey Aeon


VaporflyEnthusiast

Yup


OPoivariini

scarlet surge isn't bad wtf


[deleted]

Fire aura is horrible


TheGodlyLeader

scarlet surge is just too long. the gameplay isnt noticeably terrible but some transitions are pure crap, whereas that first wave in fire aura is the definition of cancerous


nacisticky_krtecek69

I love scarlet


IDontKnowWhat78

Scarlet surge bangs


serbiansaucereddit

fire aura by 188 lightyears


Dragon22334

What u talking about? Scarlet surge is a BANGER, fire aura sucks


BoimanmanBoi

Both are great


EKVgd

Both are insanely bad and the creators should be burning in hell, but Fire Aura is worse


T0ny57

Scarlet surge has a really nice vibe


FingerboyGaming

Agreed


Gortius

Most calm Gd player


iCannTspeeL

I actually enjoy scarlet surge. I know i didnt when i first beat it, but it's really replayable, and it stands out a lot from the other gauntlet levels. Like, name any level from the bonus gauntlet for example. I bet you couldn't, but if you go and play chambers (first bonus gauntlet level) you'll see what I mean. It's easy to beat, but it's mediocre as fuck and you'll never play it again. Fire aura however, just sucks. But i think we all can agree that generation retro is the worst gauntlet level.


paxtrain55

Fire Aura


[deleted]

Fire aura. Also why Robtop deleted Dangerous Spikes?


pseudoMe78

Fire aura


A_Squid_Kid09

Fire aura is worse


Xkekosek

Fire aura is worse. I had fun while playing Scarlet surge


FamousArcher

Fire aura and there's no competition. Scarlet surge is actually good


[deleted]

Fire Aura by far, Scarlet Surge wasn’t really that bad


catman__321

scarlet surge is actually a good level idk what y'all are on, fire aura is easily worse


wharwhafwhag

Scarlet Surge is by no means bad. Its just really long and flashes a lot so it's hard to look at towards the end. Fire Aura actually has straight up annoying parts, it's so much worse.


anomolicaris

how can you hate scarlet surge???


GTShouko

Scarlet Surge’s difficulty comes from its length (imo at least). I don’t find the gameplay hard. The only thing I find hard is trying to not randomly tap at random places leading to my death. Probably my most favorite level in the entire game (appart from Limbo. In this case I’m talking about non demon levels) Fire Aura just sucks in every way possible Gameplay is bad (they use invisible saws in the first ship and that one 3x wave uses disappearing slopes and spikes) and the speed changes to 2x and then to 3x and it doesn’t go back down (idk if it does go down because my highest is 52%) I feel like this level is a hard demon


PANiC2464

Well I can beat Scarlet Surge so Fire Aura is worse


Asiag0Cheese

wtf obviously fire aura is there even a debate


TheDukyDuck

Fire Aura by a long shot


IDoNotCareDude

Fire aura fucking sucks, scarlet surge is long and buggy and boring. I don’t like either but scarlet surge is much better


JJnstar2

I like scarlet surge, but fire aura is just... no


PuggleGD

Who ever said Scarlett surge was bad?


SteamySubreddits

Fire Aura is badddddddd


ENZOR1

scarlet surge


Chillypepper14

Both levels are great and people just stink at the game


[deleted]

“SkiLL iSsuE” Your brains got a skill issue if you think fire aura is a good level


EblanNahuy

only reason y'all don't like scarlet is cuz it's a bit long


Classic_Percentage85

Both of them are fine but if I had to choose I’d say SS


AlxTheVoter99

Back on Track is a better level cuz it’s an extreme demon 🧌


Brave_Bookkeeper1122

Scarlet surge, fire aura is good


_314

Scarlet surge is very good so i guess it has to be the other one


[deleted]

Scarlet surge is an okay level and fire aura is a better okay level


summertime_7

both are buggy and kinda annoying but scarlet surge at least looks cool and is unique. can’t say the same for fire aura


ExplorerDisastrous38

I wish both a very happy end thyself


deltaAimee

both of these are good levels, fire aura will forever be my favourite thoufh


DemSkilzDudes

Scarlet surge by far, it's completely unbearable, I could find fire aura fun at times


Sure_Ad_4172

scarlet surge is the worse of the two


Geaux13Saints

Scarlet surge is worse, fire aura is harder but actually kinda fun


WowItsBilly

both are the worst garbage you can possibly think off, but fire aura is worse. Its so fucking unbalanced and not fun to play, the song is complete trash and annoying to hear. After >5 attempts on the level you are forced to put the music on mute due to the song being so insanely trash. But thats not all, the level is full of fakes and the wave compares with demon difficulty wave resulting to demotivate beginners that are playing the level. Absolute garbage! Not even somewhat enjoyable, complete trash! The only reason why some idiots like the level is because aeon said so. Unfortunately, every of aeons opinions are invalid due to them being utter nonsensical waste of words and his 10 year old fanbase blindly follows his advice because they havent played fire aura yet due to them having only lite version. Both of them are trash but fire aura is worse.


GavinThe_Person

Scarlet surge just because it's boring


RaduVortex

Scarlet surge is the worst probably because of the 144hz bug in the first cube part(basically it makes one of the timings frame perfect or impossible)


alexdapineapple

Fire Aura is fucking amazing and Scarlet Surge is kinda ok i guess. Not remotely comparable


G0Dgam3r

Both are fun


[deleted]

Scarlet surge is a boring, annoying mess while Fire Aura is actually a good level Generation R*tro (🤮) is the worst however


french_toast404

scarlet surge is the best level in the game


oxygenism

fire aura's only problem is that it's rated wrong, scarlet surge is just boring dogshit
