Top Players

edit

There really should be talk of top players. If you need examples...Zoink: Undisputed top player, holding records for top-one verifications including Tidal Wave and Avernus. Doggie: Renowned for high-level skill, often holding spots in the top 10 with completions like KOCMOC. Trick: Known for verifying top-tier demons such as Firework. Diamond (verified Suicide Circles) Atomic (verified Thinking Space) Answish (verified The Golden) Numboy (verified Astral Divinity) Technical (verified Orochi/Ragnarok) Combi (verified Subsonic/Digital Descent) SpaceUK should be here, too. If you don't know, Space is a prominent, controversial former Geometry Dash player from the UK known for the biggest cheating scandal in the game's history. After rising to fame (2020–2023) by "beating" top-tier demons like Slaughterhouse and The Golden, he confessed to hacking ~90% of his completions using macros, subsequently attempting a legitimate comeback in 2025. ~2026-17497-36 (talk) 19:40, 20 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

Are there enough reliable sources for this?

it could be a seperate article called "list of top Geometry Dash players". Dani Bay (talk) 21:44, 6 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
the amount of info is small, so it should be the same article. ~2026-17497-36 (talk) 20:29, 13 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
GD's top players aren't nearly notable enough to warrant a mention on this article, especially as there's no reliable sources covering any of them. This information would fit better on the game's wiki. Corsaka (talk) 17:15, 8 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
I mostly agree... but the players act as a reliable source themselves. ~2026-17497-36 (talk) 20:30, 13 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
Reliable, independent sources are required to meet Wikipedia's standards for establishing reliability and notability. The players themselves don't meet that. ThomasO1989 (talk) 02:23, 14 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

Famidash

edit

@Corsaka, do we need Famidash in the article? It is under "other games", and "other games" refers to spin-offs or related games created by RobTop, Robert Topala. Since Famidash is a fan recreation that RobTop has never actually commented on, it doesn't really deserve a place on the article. Let me know what you think. God bless Finalities (talk) 03:14, 9 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

Not sure if it should be under a separate section header (maybe we rename "Other games" to "Related games"? might be too vague), but it's relevant enough to GD that I think the article would be worse off with no mention of Famidash, especially because it's the only fan project with any coverage in gaming outlets (versus, say, fangames like Skybound that are essentially level packs). Given how few reliable sources there are for GD, it's nice to have something else in the article; open to further discussion as to whether it's notable enough, though. Corsaka (talk) 11:02, 9 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
Although it may have other sources, I feel like it would be better off not on this article since it doesn't feel like something you would need to know about it, we should keep this article related to just the main game and other Geometry Dash games from RobTop. I could see Famidash becoming its own article if we find enough about it for it not to become a stub though. God bless Finalities (talk) 14:07, 10 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
I dunno, I saw the TimeExtension Famidash citation hovering around this talk page for almost two years and wanted to put something together to finally include it. If it's considered "niche" over "comprehensive", then yeah, I guess it's worth cutting? I figure if the article covers the spinoffs that have basically no relevance to the main game, it should also probably cover the biggest fan-game, though.
Pinging @ZKevinTheCat for further comment since he's a major contributor to this article. Corsaka (talk) 19:04, 11 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
I believe it deserves a mention, at very least a sentence, as it shows the game's impact and community efforts, but it's hard to find out where it should be. It doesn't really fit into any of the sections of the article. The closest one would be "Reception", but it talks only about critical reception, not public reception. In my view it shouldn't be in "Other games" as it is not official. Skyshiftertalk 19:11, 11 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
That could be a good solution, and I feel like the best place it could fit is user-generated content in a way, but that would technically repurpose that section which is what I was sort of against in the beginning. I still feel like it doesn't deserve its own subsection, though. God bless Finalities (talk) 15:05, 13 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
Agree

I lean oppose. i had been aware of that Famidash citation for a while but never found a good place to put it. It would be good for a legacy section if this article had one, but there is just not enough info for such a section to exist. ZKevinTheCat (talk) 00:22, 16 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
A legacy section could exist with the creation of Web Dashers, a recreation of the game based on the preview at the GD website, but no such secondary sources exist about the existence of the game. Finalities (talk) 14:19, 19 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
I'm obviously supportive, but this seems like WP:SNOW - I'll go ahead and remove it! Corsaka (talk) 01:54, 16 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
i didnt think famidash would last that long, now its gone Dani Bay (talk) 19:42, 16 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
I don'treally think we really need famidash though, its just a fangame that is not known by many people. Plus, the article is about the official Geometry Dash. Dani Bay (talk) 10:10, 11 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

Change This: In platformer levels, players can move left or right without the auto-scrolling camera and can access preset checkpoints without using practice mode

To This: In platformer levels, players can move left and right freely, and are not locked into the constant side-scrolling of classic mode. Rather, Side to side motion is controlled through the use of additional player inputs. Additionally, the player can access pre-placed checkpoints throughout levels without the use of practice mode.

Note: I am very new to wikipedia and have not created an edit before, I am simply very passionate about geometry dash and wanted to increase the descriptiveness of this section, I apologize for any mistakes I may have made. Thanks MRELDER5 (talk) 17:09, 24 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

this is actually good, but ill see what other people think first. Dani Bay (talk) 00:14, 25 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
oh yeah and another thing, stuff like this would normally need a source, but i think the already citation is good enough Dani Bay (talk) 00:16, 25 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
I appreciate the feedback chap. I figured in this case the original citation was fine because I was just rewording the sentence. MRELDER5 (talk) 00:21, 25 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
@MRELDER5 Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! I've looked at your proposed edit and it seems like most of the new content is a restatement of what is originally in there or in more detail. You haven't done anything wrong, and I appreciate your effort and time into drafting this. It probably wouldn't be great to include, though, as it could clutter the article. So I will say  Not done for now, but there are definitely other ways this article could be improved! If you are having trouble getting started, I recommend checking out the introduction page to contributing. It provides a pretty good summary of how editing works. If you need personal help, you can ask at the WP:Teahouse or on my talk page. Thank you for your hard work! I like octopusestalk to me, talk to me 05:28, 28 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

Geometrydash.com

edit

A website was launched on April 4, called geometrydash.com. It allows you to play the first level, stereo madness. Does this warrant an extra paragraph? EnderDragon8158 (talk) 21:19, 30 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

The old GD website was already replaced with this one. It could warrant a paragraph, though. I will go ahead and add one; unless you want to do it. Let me know. Finalities (talk) 03:59, 1 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

People in the game have made levels way above the skill of the main levels. For example, Avernus, is a long level rated Extreme Demon and is known for it's extreme wave part that is in 4x speed and requires precise control. Also, Acheron is a very hard Extreme Demon. It is known for it's fast ship part in the beginning, with wave and ball in-between. The top 1 (Hardest level) (as of May 12th, 2026) is Thinking Space ll, verified by Zoink.

Boomlings redirecting here

edit

Why does Boomlings redirect to this page? And why is the redirect to the same page (Geometry Dash has a link to Boomlings which redirects back to Geometry Dash)? My suggestion is to make the redirect take you to the sole sentence in this article discussing Boomlings or to delete the redirect entirely. Your thoughts on this? Kh4led08 (talk) 15:23, 21 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hi Kh4led08, that was because of the merging and redirect of Robert Topala previously, which now also redirects here. Thanks for pointing it out, I've removed the link. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 18:05, 21 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

Possible return of Famidash mention?

edit

@Corsaka,

I found another "rip-off" version of Geometry Dash with information on that ripoff. One of the factors of the deletion of Famidash was that it wouldn't fit into any category, but a new category could be made in the article speaking of spin-offs. We could include Famidash and the rip-off I found into that category. The information available would most likely be big enough to suffice as an entirely new category. Funny enough, the ripoff I found was made 5 days before my Famidash topic, I just didn't know it was a thing. Let me know what you think. God bless.


Tagging relevant people who commented on the last topic. @ZKevinTheCat @Dani Bay @Skyshifter @Nugs Finalities (talk) 18:38, 24 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

this could be the return but if you dont mind me asking what is exactly the ripoff you found? Dani Bay (talk) 19:55, 24 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

the reason I included Famidash to begin with was because it had reasonably reliable sourcing on the topic - the same can't be said for many of the other derivative games inspired or based on GD, i fear. Corsaka (talk) 07:00, 8 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
You might want to check WP:CATEGORY, because that doesn't apply here. Categories are intended to organise articles, if there isn't an article on a subject it can't be categorised into one. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 07:40, 8 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
I think @Finalities means categories as in sections, not the one you use to categorise articles. Dani Bay (t·c) 18:50, 8 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
