“Kept updating the game on a regular basis”
Shows update 2.0 2.1 and 2.2 the three longest updates which combined make up like 90% of the games lifetime
Yeah, there's a lot of incorrect information in this video, like 2.1 adding object movements when in reality 2.0 did that.
he said mirror portals were added in 1.2 bruhhhhhh
The timeline in this video is a bit messy, he was talking about the updates in 2014 at that point so it wasnt actually misinformation, but for some reason he just showed updates that werent released at that poiny
He should’ve done like 1.7, 1.8, and 1.9
He also said that bloodbath was the previous hardest demon before bloodlust, which is not true at all lol. I’m PRETTY sure it was Erebus, though correct me if I’m wrong
Not me knowing all of this already but watching it all the way through so that I can boost it in the algorithm, causing less people to think I’m crazy when I tell them that I play Geometry Dash for a living
Hi @StallionGD
Hi @StallionGD
I don't think playing a game for a living is good but you do it for content that's good
"not" me
Hello There, @StallionGD.
As a GD player, here are all the mistakes
6:21 - It was 1.1 that added mirror portals
7:05 - Customization was in 1.0
10:56 - Demon levels were added in 1.3, 1.6 just added the first official one
13:12 - 2.1 added object rotation, 2.0 added object movement
13:55 It was a remake, not a buff
14:54 It was not made in the editor, rather by having code modify the games savefile to place objects more precisely
bloodlust is a remake but the bloodbath part is buffed significantly, also spu7nix made what in the editor technically because that's where it is but he most likely did go into the editor for a lot of the creation process
As a geometry dash player,I can conform all of this is facts
Spaceuk
it even says 1.1
@@tyronium2 The editor for "what" was basically just the tool that converted the code he wrote to make the level into GD thus eliminating a need to code something to do that for him.
The editor was also used yes but most of the level was made by coding, not by using the editor, which is also why the level in the editor is extremely confusing.
1.0-2.1 - $1.99
2.2- $2.99
Geometry Flation hit hard
The ordering of events in this video is really weird
"regular basis"
shows up 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2💀💀💀💀💀
“Bloodlust, being a buffed version of bloodbath, literally the previous hardest level in the game”
🤨🤨🤨
It's still a good video, stop complaining.
@@KatArmyLeedur-w- The game kinda died after bloodlust was verified, everyone was moving away from GD. Tech and Zodiac revived it.
@@siwexwot8994 ok, but it wasn’t bloodbath -> Bloodlust in top 1 difficulty
WE'VE BEEN SUMMONED BY THE ALGORITHM >:3
Looking at your pfp with one hand is quite challenging
@David280GG I can take this 2 ways, but one is obvious
Not subbed? Ngl, that's L behavior
We have arrived we made it yeah
Yes it summoned us all😈
"he continued updating the game FREQUENTLY" proceeds to show update 2.2 as if no wait whatsoever had happened
Idk why I see this funny af
Yeah I was like "Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh no?"
Only 6 years
honestly i appreciate how, despite this guy not being in the gd community understands how hard the game actually is. like normally when you show someone gd they think its just a super simple and easy cube game where you just jump over a spike and they think that its difficulty is nothing compared to the generic first person shooters released today

Very well put together video! Glad to see some Everyplay appreciation since lots of people don't even think about that anymore.
Worth noting that I recently asked RobTop what he thinks made this game successful in an AMA and he claims it's the editor (ESPECIALLY how easy it is to share/browse levels, even without an account at first) and custom music (so levels don't just use the same songs over and over). Also worth noting that unlike the Impossible Game there's actually an incentive to play online levels - most of the game's rewards are tied to them
Hello Colon
sup colon
lolll i was excited when he mentioned everyplay as well. UA-cam can singlehandedly elevate an entire game, its happened to FNAF as well

Some of the information is wrong tbh, demon difficulty was added in 1.3, not 1.6. Also at 11:40, it wasn't only because of demon levels, its one of the reasons why the game stayed alive but it was also because of the community that the game stayed alive.
No bro when he said demon levels in 1.6 he meant the Mai levels not user ones
no he said demon *difficulty* was implemented in 1.6
Yeah, not everything is accurate unfortunately, but it is accurate enough to make non players have an appreciation for the game
Well this is a pleasant surprise
Hi matmart
45 Min ago yayy
Offbrand walmart is here?
The difference is that the impossible game wasn't made with love, and didn't have a level editor
btw mirror portals came in 1.1, not 1.2
also don't forget the custom songs, one of the most important features of 1.9
Not just one of the most important features of 1.9, but the most important feature in the game
"The difference is that the impossible game wasn't made with love" a bit of a stretch and also kinda rude.
@@toejammergaming after the editor itself ofc
Great video overall, but as a person who has been playing GD consistently for 5 or 6 years at this point. I'd like to point out some mistakes you made in this video.
1. Mirror portals were added in 1.1.
2. Custom levels have been a thing ever since 1.0.
3. Demons were added in 1.3, 1.6 just introduced the first official demon level.
4. Rotate triggers were added in 2.1, move triggers were added in 2.0.
5. Bloodlust was a remake, not just a buff.
6. WHAT wasn't entirely made in the editor, a lot of it was made with the help of a programming language that the creator of the level Spu7nix wrote and a script that managed to turn video into GD objects by simulating evolution.
I'd also like to point out the usage of gameplay by GuitarHeroStyles/AdvyStyles since he's done terrible stuff and doesn't deserve any recognition due to his actions so using footage recorded by him doesn't really feel right.
the program of spu7nix just automatically placed the blocks
Have you ever heard of this thing called the Level Editor? It’s the main reason why Geometry Dash refuses to die so easily
He did and he went over it because most of us know editor was a big factor, but not the only
@@soyalguien335yt4 the second most important factor was the addition of custom songs in 1.9, 1 year after the game's release
he didn't even talk about what actually made game popular, the level creations itself
The editor make the game success, that's it. Yeah, maybe robtop copied the gameplay, but he added more gameplay too so the gameplay will be variative
the timeline is sort of told in the wrong order but really nice video anyways
Very good video, just please learn how to put things in chronological order. It kept going back and forth and it was hard to follow, it goes to 2020 then straight back to 2014 in 3 seconds.
"Updating consistently" 7 YEARS DUDE 7 YEARS.
This is a great video however as a gd level creator I noticed some facts that were wrong. (Moving objects were added in 2.0)
My guy this video has mistakes, for example the mirror portal wasn't added in 1.2, it was in 1.1 and the Demon difficulty wasn't added in 1.6, that was when RobTop released the first demon and some more but still this is a great video my guy :)
🤓
Bro , if your video couldn't even have accurate information after 2 months of not uploading anything then that just shows you don't care about the game.
When demon park was made.
demon was added in 1.3.
Inspired by the once hardest level, ‘Demon Park’
Isn't 2.2 already out? Technically geometry dash isn't completely dead in order for it to completely die out it has to have no updates being added and the developer will have to retire or if it runs out of sales
GD was never even close to being completely dead, despite the fact that it took over 7 years for 2.2 to finally release.
did you just call gd stupid? *you hear your doorbell ring*
Babe wake up kalex posted
vixios in the wild jumpscare

You have a babe?
Do u play geometry dash vixios btw love your vids
I'm up
another banger man kalex keep it up!
I've been in the GD Community for over half its lifespan and wanted to say this video is super well made. I always find it interesting that this game stood the test of time as well as it has and how creators and players always find new ways to make the game so enjoyable and worthy of coming back to, which is something that I really like about this $4 cube game.
greeny109 reference?
ur content is insane man, keep it going
"How did this block game become the hardest game in the world?" Proceeds to show the most free part in bloodlust, literally 7 star difficulty
It's also worth emphasising the evolution of the creating side of the community during those 6 years. With that much time, dedicated creators only got more and more skilled at the editor - finding new ways to further push the limits in both gameplay and visuals. And you can see this change if you compare levels from each year of 2.1.
Not only this, but the GD space on youtube was booming with content, particularly showcase channels, which previewed the most recent masterpieces to come out of the editor. These videos are VERY popular and can reach far beyond just the GD community, only drawing more players in. Plus the fact, they inspire new creators to try projects of their own, thus continuing the positive feedback loop.
At around this time as well, Robtop was becoming more active in the community - rating more levels, assigning more moderators and generally interacting with the community more. Morale rose greatly and with the influx of new moderators and level rates, getting a rated level was no longer as elusive as it used to be. Newer creators could shine without having to wait years for recognition.
To top it off, Rob also regularly previewed upcoming features of 2.2, provided updates on its progress and answered a lot of the community's most asked questions.
I believe this is the main reason Geometry Dash has kept its momentum for all this time.
I thought he was a geometry dash UA-camr that I subbed to for the documentaries but then I realized he only posted 4 times and I subbed cause of the fearless one lol
Amazing video props!!!
“How did this stupid block game-“ okay well that makes me sad
Once the game added background graphics. That’s when I quit. It became waaaay too annoying trying to figure out what was the box to jump on & what was the background.
That’s a skill issue tbh
This isnt the games fault. It isn't hard to adapt to.
In comparison new 2.2 levels are the most confusing levels yet but they are also by far the best levels any update has brought yet. Just a skill issue.
Yeah that’s a major skill issue, mate
@@dualedgegd learn what skill means, then come back to me.
nice documentary Kalex keep it up
I would like to say putting aside your great editing, content, and effort you put into these videos, getting to over 100k subscribers and over 7 million views with four videos is amazing. I look forward to your future videos!!
Deserves more views tbh
this is very well explained, a few facts were off like object rotation was added in 2.0 not 2.1 and 2.2 took over 7 years not 6 but still great video and as a GD player myself this was fun to watch.
Object rotation WAS in 2.1
Dumb
Rotate Triggers were added in 2.1, Move triggers in 2.0
14:40 That´s my post haha (the "what does reddit think" one)
What A Great Documentation On Such Game!
Its always fun to see someone who isnt in the community and what their view on the game os
i love how 90% of the viewers are gd players who already know all this because they lived through it, but they still watch it cus its a good video and so it gets boosted in the algorithm.
thats what a real game community should be like!
yes
The level editor is definitely what made the game blow up. By allowing the players to make gd what they wanted it to be robtop unknowingly allowed the game to evolve in amazing ways where players could really surprise others what the game could be. That's how we got the game to be as popular as today.
i just noticed fluke games "fluke" is a word used in a game where you get alot farther then your record
14:02 dang what a loser lmao
yoooo
Literally heard this like 10 times but the algorithm knows I play gd so here I am
Why most people who uploaded geometry dash videos has a war thunder sponsor

"While being harder than the current insane levels, you'd still get the same amount of stars"
*Meanwhile extreme demons being the highest difficulty that only the best of the best could complete, give you fewer stars than an insane RobTop level*
Title: How Geometry Dash Became Unkillable
Reality: Bro gives me the whole timeline of geometry dash
When he said "And this isn't even the hardest level anymore, it's like only #4 on the demon list" I had goosebumps, idk why but I just had a "Jeez I can't believe silent clubstep is #4 now dude.."
"2.1 added moving objects"
No it didn't
"2.1 added uhhh cool editor stuff"
Elaborate
"2.1 added so much more!"
NO IT DID NOT
"2.1 is the biggest update by far!!!"
AAAAUUUUGHHHH
I love impressing non-GD players when they see me beating Extreme Demons in the hardest game
the fact that geometry dash kept growing over the years is insane. in 2018 the game was in its decline, its lowest was about 2k players. but fast forward to 2019 and the game somehow peaked at about 4k players, and then 2020 with 6k players, 2021 with 10k players peak, 2022 with 16k players peak, and then finally 2.2... which peaked at 80k players... of course player count went down, but it still averages about 20k players.
-Swedish
-Ripoff from block game
-Too lazy to update
Notch and Robtop really have the same life
Robtop was updating the game with entirely new code he streamed it in a secret UA-cam channel which is why he took 6 years and also keep in mind that he rates every level he sees which took it even longer he literally RUNS the game.
Also people were asking Rob to over add items to the game which made it last 6 years

That spaceuk one hit different lol
I like how your example of a feature added by updates that improved the game is the mirror portal, one of the most widely hated features in all of Geometry Dash
As a kalex and geometry dash fan, thank you.
Awesome video man!
There’s a lot of misinformation for the smaller details (updates etc) but overall this is pretty good :)
You have summoned the whole Geometry Dash community
Fluke needs a award because geometry dash wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for him 👏 ❤
OMG A NEW KALEX VIDEOOOO
Watched your fearless video when it first dropped. Interesting to see you cover geometry dash
6:21 Um technically it's 1.1 so you skipped 1.2
gd is the goat fr fr like the only game i play is gd and i only play minecraft like once everyone while like i love this editor (where i spend most of my time) browsing songs on newgrounds or working on a new level to post and let people play and i must thank you because i love learning about this game
roptop did the impossible and i respect it
We keeping GD alive with this one 🔥🔥🔥🔥
this is so freaking awesome, i couldn’t take my eyes off the screen lol. great job!!
Oh yo, its you, the guy who made that dani video, nice to see you on my feed again
i got a war thunder ad right before you sponsored war thunder 💀
2:25 bro was nutting when he said "thousands of thousands"
something that also helped was songs from Newgrounds
without that, having only a few songs to choose from would've repelled people from creating levels because they would've been bored of hearing the same thing over and over again
With this treasure, we summon kalex
only ogs remember when this was called "How Geometry Dash Became Unkillable"
I thought that I would know everything covered here but I am surprised that the impossible game was ever that popular, when I played it after playing gd it seemed quite bad and really easy too.
earliest I’ve ever been to a kalex video lets go
awesome to see one of my favorite creators make a vid about my favorite game
11:03 WHO'S ICON IS THAT 💀💀💀
Tienes 14?
That first sentenced enraged me
I suppose its original namesake was called _The Impossible Game_ for nothing, eh? Geometry Dash truly honoured its source material by becoming the one true Impossible Game.
The thumbnail should be a meme.

good day to be alive and watch kalex rn
death threat on gd is wild
You should make a video about the most hated vr creator pursuit vr
i don’t think he will do that, pursuit VR is in gorilla tag
you are ADDICTED to minecraft click sound
Masterpiece
I love this community! Also imagine this video gets nominated for 2024 best video in the GD awards.
In 2013, Geometry Dash was just a clone of The Impossible Game
Now it really is the impossible game.
I love watching documentary of a jumping square game 😊
