Add a new section called "Controversies", dealing with the involvement of GuitarHeroStyles (AdvyStyles, Luis Miguel Gil; Cádiz, Spain) in a grooming and rape scandal of October to November 2021. He was accused of the crimes by another player named "zPfanne", and many of his victims came forth with further testimonies. At first, Advy acknowledged the accusations, but later he denied them, stating he had proof that they were false (even though tons of evidence proving the allegations true have been released), and went back to uploading videos on YouTube like nothing happened. As a result, many other notable players in the Geometry Dash community have "cancelled" him, and the official Geometry Dash Demon List has banned him from participation, stripping him of all his records. Later, his Discord account got suspended. On 5 November 2021, a Twitter campaign called "AdvyOut" called for his termination on YouTube, and this hashtag got up to #6 on Twitter Trending. The termination of his channel is likely to follow shortly.

Guitar's channel: [1]. Notice how he has over 2 million subscribers, the most of any YouTube channel specializing in Geometry Dash. Mesijanski Judje (talk) 19:52, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

  • This is generally unrelated to the game, this wouldn't be in the article.
  • Wikipedia is NOT gossip, we can't just add this to the article when the only source is an archived Twitter thread with no one in the media covering it.

After thorough study of this article, I have come to notice that its main subject seems more like the 2013 video game, rather than an entire series, as most sections mainly apply to the video game titled Geometry Dash. What is more, I think the video game holds more importance than the series, as Meltdown, World and Subzero only exist as extra content to fulfill the player's wish for more, while the video game titled Geometry Dash represents a good 70 to 80% of the whole series. As opposed to something like the Zelda series which as a whole has a huge influence on the industry, the Geometry Dash series holds little importance in its entirety as three of the four games are filler for the last one, while the Geometry Dash video game has helped the rise of indie games and, as such, has had an influence big enough to grant it (in my opinion) the right to have its own Wikipedia page. Therefore, I believe the page would be more relevant if it shifted focus from Geometry Dash (series) to Geometry Dash (video game), the page could probably feature a "Sequels" paragraph in which are mentioned the three side games. If the decision to make the shift was to be made, not a lot of work would have to be done anyway, as most of the article mainly refers to the game. May someone hear my demand and answer it. Thank you.

Edit to clarify the changes I would like to see:

- change "Geometry Dash is a series of music platforming video games developed by Swedish developer Robert Topala, also known as RobTop. The first game, known simply as Geometry Dash, was released on August 13, 2013 on iOS and Android." to "Geometry Dash is a music platforming video game developed by Swedish developer Robert Topala, also known as RobTop, that was released on August 13, 2013 on iOS and Android."

- change "In addition to the original game, 3 other spin-off games in the series have been made: Geometry Dash Meltdown, Geometry Dash World, and Geometry Dash SubZero." to "Since its original release, the game has spanned 3 other spin-off games: Geometry Dash Meltdown, Geometry Dash World, and Geometry Dash SubZero."

- remove the "First release: Geometry Dash" and the "Latest release: Geometry Dash SubZero" sections in the characteristics below the icon

- add a "Series: Geometry Dash" section in the characteristics below the icon

That's all. I hope someone understands my point of view. Thank you. Superaspicot013 (talk) 10:22, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

The first part of the article talks about the game's merchandise: "The game also has online merchandise" It's not official merchandise though, and I think that sentence should be removed (including the reference number 5), or at least change it to "Unofficial merchandise can be found online"

Recent addition of content

@HurricaneDeci I recently reverted a sequence of edits that added content including a list of all the levels across all the Geometry Dash games. The basis for this decision comes from these edits, similar reversions that were seemingly accepted over a year ago (similar content had not been added again until just recently). If you have a reason for including this information in an encyclopedia, it would be beneficial to explain it. Twotwicetalk 19:22, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

@Twotwice I added many details about the game as well as the table, and I figured the table would be a good idea because it lists the levels of the game. If you want me to, I can remove it. HurricaneDecitalk19:47, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

The following sentence is convoluted and needs better structuring:

“Notably, if the player crashes into an obstacle, the level restarts from the beginning, an exception being in practice mode, where the user may place checkpoints to survey or practice a level without officially completing it.”

I suggest: “If the player crashes into an obstacle, the level restarts from the beginning. However, in practice mode, the player may place checkpoints to survey or practice a level without officially completing it.” Spinespine (talk) 17:40, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

2nd Paragraph, Last sentence. Needs reworked into 2 separate sentences. Current wording makes it sound like you can obtain secret coins and user coins through chests, although you cannot. Mana orbs are also the only (currently) in-game currency. You can also obtain secret coins through completing a map pack.

My reworking: You can obtain the game's in-game currency, mana orbs, through chests, as well as diamonds and Shards of Power. In official levels, you can obtain secret coins, another method of collecting these being map packs, which reward the player with some with every pack completed. User coins are the user level versions of secret coins. They can either be bronze (these ones don't count towards player total [also known as "Unverified"] ) or silver (counts towards your player total [also known as "Verified"] )

Ambiguity

On the first sentence of paragraph 3, "Topala released a sneak peek video of 2.2, the first major update since 2017," could be misinterpreted as 2.2 being the first major update released since 2017. 74.139.252.103 (talk) 04:15, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

I don't think that is a misinterpretation. That's exactly what it says. Do you have a counter claim or source that contradicts? -- ferret (talk) 17:19, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
Maybe they're talking about how it sounds like it's the only major update being made for the game, instead of just being the first big update in a while since update 2.1 released. BucketHeadKing (talk) 15:57, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
I don't see how it suggests that it was the only major update or final major update at all. It does not appear that 2.2 has released yet either, and there's no sourcing of other "major updates". -- ferret (talk) 16:25, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

@Xan747 Would citing the game itself be a possiblity? Primary sources are excellent for this kind of coverage gap. In this case, simply stating a level's existence does not require original research. Ca talk to me! 16:27, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
@Ca, @MinecraftNerd12341234; the Video games section of WikiProject Video games/Sources says, In articles about video games, citing the game itself is often attractive. Wikipedia favours secondary sources, and the use of primary sources should be minimised. Games are primary sources in articles about themselves. Whether it is good to use them as a source varies by perspective, subject and game. For a reader, it is usually very hard to use a video game to check facts. Provide transcripts wherever possible, and enable readers to check the facts themselves by noting which area, level or episode is cited. Using the later levels of games with a linear level progression as sources (without transcripts) should be avoided. The same applies to bonus levels or easter eggs.
But what is a transcript? How do you get one and cite it? I suggest you guys check with the editors over at WikiProject Video games and find out how to properly use the game itself as a primary source. Feel free to ping me back once they've given you some guidance. Thanks, Xan747 (talk) 19:20, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
Wow, this has gotten very complicated for something really insignificant. It's still well known within the Geometry Dash community, but I'll see if there's any way to get "transcripts". Signed, MinecraftNerd12341234 23:20, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
It does seem a small thing but I'm a stickler for rules. Do let me know what you find out.
NOTE: I would never suggest that as you are an autoconfirmed user that you could simply edit the article yourself. Xan747 (talk) 23:46, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
Can I just upload a video where I show the level and how to access it? It is the simplest way, and to be honest, I am not that good at finding citations. I mostly read, and I thought I'd add some information to one of the games I'm intrested in. But I do understand there are rules to follow, and that is pretty respectable. The problem is, when you try to add something obscure, you have to make your own source. Signed, MinecraftNerd12341234 00:16, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

@MinecraftNerd12341234, as Itbdl says it sounds like wp:or to do that, yet the passage I quoted still suggests that the game itself can be a usable primary source.
Your best option is to check with the video game project folks and learn how to do it right. Then you'll know for other articles you might want to edit. Xan747 (talk) 00:38, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

Could we add a controversy section?

Hey guys, Bardcodc here.

I was wondering if we should add a controversy segment, due to how many types of controversy have occured. First there was a fan-made level to the role-playing game "God Eater" by a player named "knobbelboy", who then stole some art from the actual game. The creators of "God Eater" contacted him saying "Oh nO, yOu DiDn'T aSk FoR oUr OpInIoN, nOw Ya CaN't HaVe It". Geometry Dash almost got sued. Then there was the level "Woodkid" by a guy named "Jakers", who stole from the band with the song "Run, Boy, Run". There were the days of 1.9 in 2015, when people uploaded songs onto Newgrounds for it to be on Geometry Dash. There's 2.2, where people keep on making game recreations. Just wondering. - Barcodc (talk) 17:16, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

If you can find reliable sources that are relevant for a section on copyright-related controversies, then it could be included. However, I do not see any such sources, so it might not be significant enough to include. Twotwicetalk 17:26, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

@GrinkleBobber it was 18th for me 2001:8F8:1163:50:44FB:80FA:7765:9F39 (talk) 08:59, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

Change name of levels rated by RobTop

In the section describing levels verified, the article uses the same term (verification) to describe beating a level to prove it is possible and denote a level chosen by RobTop to give rewards when beaten. The latter should be changed to a level being considered "rated" rather than "verified."

This is the common language used in the community and the official Geometry Dash editor guide released in 2.2 (Page 199). The guide can be found here: [3]https://www.robtopgames.com/files/GDEditor.pdf. Typicalsamprice (talk) 18:57, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

BallastedTuna (talk) 22:04, 15 January 2024 (UTC) There are only 22 main levels not 26 in geometry dash and including the spin off games there is thirty eight.

I disagree with JTP's reply, it's fairly clear what changed you wanted to be made. Still not going to open this because the 4 tower levels are included in that count. To quote the lead:

Geometry Dash consists of 26 full-length levels made by its developer; 22 are auto-scrolling, and 4 are 'platformer' levels.

You should describe how each gamemode works. Cube, click the screen and it bounces up into the air for a fractoin of a second. Ship, hold the screen to go up and release to go down. Ball, click the screen to switch gravity. UFO (formerly Bird), like the Cube, but you can bounce in the air. Wave (formerly Dart), like the Ship, but you move diagonally. Robot, long hold to make a bigger jump, short tap for a smaller jump. Spider, like the Ball, but you teleport. Swingcopter (also known as Swing), like Ball, but switch gravities in the air.

Change "20 of which are unlocked upon installation" to "19 of which are unlocked upon installation"

 Not done: that's incorrect. three classic levels and three platformer levels are locked, and 26 - 6 = 20. ltbdl (talk) 10:19, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

hey, why's toe song isn't in "theory of everything (disambiguation)"

man i redacted the page once but some guy deleted it because "it's not notable enough", imo it is 188.163.14.161 (talk) 12:57, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

here's what we mean by notability. it doesn't mean what you think it means. ltbdl (talk) 13:22, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

if there aren’t any please add all the vault codes: chamber of time the vault and the secret vault 104.202.5.160 (talk) 03:24, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

no, that's game trivia unsuitable for an encyclopedia. ltbdl☃ (talk) 04:02, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Redirects

Should we make articles for popular members of the GD community that just redirect to this page (like not actual articles for the community members because i don't think enough reliable sources cover them, just redirects)? (e.g. Viprin) BombCraft8 (talk) (contributions) 21:50, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

Third-Party Modifications

A lot of Geometry Dash players use third party modifications like Mega Hack v8, Geode, etc. Would it be appropriate to add a section to this article about them? Pattersonuwu (talk) 23:45, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

@pattersonuwu: only if reliable, secondary sources cover them significantly. ltbdl☃ (talk) 04:28, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
got it. i didn't think things pretty close relating to the article needed to be notable too, but makes sense. thanks! Pattersonuwu (talk) 05:04, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

Licensing information regarding the game's "Extreme demon" difficulty face

I want to know if I can use the game's Extreme Demon difficulty face for a userbox. Could I, seeing as I don't know the licensing info? I apologize if this isn't the right place to ask this. BombCraft8 (talk) (contributions) 12:44, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

Should I add Category:Video game engines

Geometry Dash seems to be a video game engine, since it is possible to make fully-fledged video games using the game's platformer mode, wide range of triggers, and more. In fact, it seems like that has already happened, with the level Quarion by the user Zejoant. Should I add the category "Video game engines" to this page? BombCraft8 (talk) (contributions) 02:02, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

no. it's definitely not a video game engine. ltbdl☃ (talk) 03:07, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
Really? Because it seems like it could be used to make a video game BombCraft8 (talk) (contributions) 03:46, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
