so crazy cant wait till i have my own video made on my downfall
You got one week left lil bro
So true
how is this not popular
fr
Same, how is this not popular?
Space was honestly someone a lot of players looked up to. So sad how this is how it all turned out 😔
i agree
Hopefully zoink don’t end up like this
@@BuffedAcheron i wish it would have been zoink rather than space. p sure thats everyone tho
It was all too good to be true from the get-go.
I looked up to him, he was so popular and so good, I always wanted to be like him.
this is just a sad situation, and the fact some people still say "oh he was just bored" and downplay it irks me severely. on the bright side, Vortrox 100k soon?
IsaiahWavix
Agreed
I like money😊
Yoo hi wavix
Yes 100k soon
The watermark I added on a whim 2 years ago was a complete joke for both list teams for so long, turns out it paid off in the most unexpected way LOL
Such an unintentionally genius decisions lmao
How am I 2nd lol?
Is it toggleable? Could cheaters disable this and get away with it?
@@defenestratorr no it isnt
The creator of ZBOT???
There's literally no excuse for what he did. People keep glazing what happened by saying "He did it to troll us" "He just got bored, what a legend 🤓"
He took the spotlight from so many legit players who actually put a shit ton of effort on this game just because ""He was bored"'" and lied for years.
For real, I still somewhat respect him for apologizing but you can’t call him a LEGEND, that’s just plain wrong
The people saying that he just did a little trolling probably said it before we found out none of his achievements were even real
@@gillboygd its not even that true that he apologized, it was more like a cover up, since he only admitted to hacking recent stuff because of "boredom", I think that fake apology was straight up malicious, but thats just what I believe
He hurt this commodore much. He not only stole the spotlight from doggie with slaughter house, but also with the 2022 he awards, as well as trick with firework only being top 1 for 7 seconds because of space, but again the 2021 gd awards
@@gillboygd honestly he lied every chance he got right up to the end. He had no choice but to apolagized
This news really sucks man. All Geometry Dash history for the past 2 years has to be changed now...
so true lil bro
My mind is blown 😳
It is stupid how he got away with so many things like demonlist mods should check top 1-10 completions WAY more than what they did... It is kinda interesting at the same time how he got away so long with no one realising
yep
If I had a nickel for every time a GD player got exposed, I’d have way too many nickels to count
You would be Jeff Bezos.
u will make elon musk look like a homeless person
You could make Elon Musk's house look like a doghouse fr
You’d be MrBeast lol
You'd be able to afford a 480hz monitor
This was actually sad to see, because not only did he lied about everything, but his entire career was just a joke for us. I'm not saying i'm mad at spaceuk though, it's just, why would he do this to the community?
EDIT: He tricked the mods into approving his records on main list levels? What a shame. But right now, he's beaten Tartarus and The Golden as his hardest, but that still wouldn't get back the good reputation he once had. Huge L tho.
You have every right to be mad at SpaceUK
Hello, I like money
for permission to scratch his ass
We put faith on Spaceuk but Spaceuk threw it away like it's nothing ofc im mad for supporting a fraud cheater
he said it himself, *he was bored*
It’s like Karl jobst says: cheaters don’t cheat to get something they can’t achieve, they cheat to get it faster
Schmooey
I honestly dont even know if I trust space saying his hardest is Kenos. Keep in my mind he tried to keep up his reputation for as long as possible.
- Some things found out as hacked
-> "Only those were hacked."
- Multiple completions found out as hacked
-> "Everything after my biggest achievement (Mainlist completion) was hacked. Mainlist is legit though."
- Mainlist gets found out as hacked
-> "Yeah ok, everything was hacked except kenos and some random stuff, but I deleted my channel and won't give a list of the levels I did and didn't hack so you can't find out exactly."
@@chryst4l926 yup
@@chryst4l926he definitely didn’t beat kenos. Naked attempt to hold onto something that proves he’s top level. Obvious lie
Karl jobst is making a video about this exact situation btw
The fact he did up to the golden 96% legit then hacked everything is kind of sad, he could have went so far as he was a very skilled player.
He did have potential, sad to see it go to waste :(
If he didn't accidentally turn on noclip, he could have had a lot of potential.
You never know really, that could be a lie too, after all of this
@@astroh4936 yeah but I mean if fnm saw him play kyouki he had to be at least a little good at the game, and idk if they checked the footage of those before he deleted his channel (most likely not). This story seems believable but then for your point it also was believable that he would hack after he quit the game when he beat the main list.
@@Salpalalo ikr
Truly sad how someone who can get exposed and fall so fast
Wdym “so fast?” He was doing this for a while and until now he was caught
@@AtlasGamingChaos I think what they meant was that as soon as you're exposed you get cancelled almost immediately. But it is true he wasn't caught for a while
yeah no shit
@@buzzybees8604 Bro He did Not Get Cancelled LOL He Hacked Everything And Made Thousands of Dollars Off Lies and in the end he Got what He deserved LOLOL
@@user-rg5us3hm1m I agree with your point but PLEASE stop capitalising every first letter of every word
I actually thought SpaceUK was a legitimate player. It was never a thought in my mind that he might be cheating, so this was very surprising to see. And it's really messed up how much money he made off of cheating and lying to the whole community, it's straight up careless.
My thoughts exactly. I’m not even as mad about the money he made rather than the attention he kept from actual top players (which I guess can sort of go hand in hand). Taking the best player awards from Trick and Doggie and taking the #1 spot on the list from Doggie Crisis Wolves really upsets me, and also betraying the trust of people who thought he was their friend
@@prod.7aco194 Yeah I agree, I would feel really bad cheating and betraying people and ruining things for others and I don't know how he kept cheating for so long knowing he was betraying everyone
is spaceuk trans? lol
@@brutpenta?
@@brutpenta that has nothing to do with this
The thing with him not verifying Slaughterhouse kinda reminds me about what happened with Zodiac, where the first victor became the verifier after the original verifier admitted to hacking.
Yep very similar
@@Vortrox whats ur fav extreme demon to play when your bored
@@7615006 sonic wave, sakupem circles
@@7615006 can't let go
except xander didn't try to lie his way out of it and he didn't earn thousands of pounds and he wasn't considered the best player
Spaceuk was personally one of my fav gd youtuber. The fact he shows up to the community and overtook everyone so quickly. I was genuinely impressed how gifted he was and absolutely admired his talent. He became my motivation to play gd again. But now... it's just sad to see. Im not even mad, just disappointed very much
Space uk was technically the most popular showcaser
lol
i think the most heartbreaking part is that they didn’t really care that they got exposed it was just “i lost interest”. ty for the video!
The difficulty jump from Decode to Windyland scape to Wasureta and later gaining 96% on The golden is absolutely impressive for your 1st top 5 demon
I highly have a feeling even with out a hack he still being able to become GD Best player if he was serious about it. But sadly he decided to used hack... What a wasted potential...
Maybe not the best but def a top player
fr 😢
Unless Decode wasn’t actually his first demon. It’s pretty easy to lie. For all we know he could have already been on Wasu by that point
@@noaht2005exactly he couldve restarted
And you still believe him, man those simps never learn
What a crazy turn of events. I could've never expected something like this would happen
I'm honsetly really sad that this would all happen without knowing. Space was the reason i came back to gd because of Slaughterhouse, it breaks my heart seeing this all happen :((((. I hope we can learn about this and try to give other players the recognition they deserve!!!
When did you first start gd?
@@gillboygd 2015
@@KhjjnJustDance nice, I first ever played in 2017 then I came back for a lil bit in 2021, then I started playing for real again in late 2021
Yeah about this… y’all remember cyclic? Well… this is kinda the same don’t you think?
@@HurricaneKXZ yes it is everyone knows that
This is really sad to me. I look up to top players for motivation to play... so seeing the best of the best destroy himself through hacking is devastating.
One of my favorite experiences that I have in Gd was actually with SpaceUK. I remember I discovered space right around the time where we had 30-40% on The Golden and he was maybe averaging 5-15 viewers per stream. I was making a small mega collab with friends that was way to hard for any of us to beat, I believe it was an Erebus remake. Anyways after we completed the gameplay I asked Space if he would consider verifying once decoration was completed and he said he would consider it if the level looked good enough. Well after some demotivation and burnout on making the collab it never got finished but I still have that discord DM saved to my camera roll
It's been like 4 seconds since it happened and bro released an entire ass documentary 🥶
Hustlin'
i wonder if it'd be possible for someone to make a dedicated video for crisis? he was literally the best player in 2021 (completed top 18 and first victor of firework), but got overshadowed so hard by space.
Imagine getting ratted out of a community because of 64 pixels 💀
But the Method💀
I really looked up to Space, honestly. He made me persevere and challenge myself to beat something I thought I couldn't. But now, because of this, the entire community is in shambles.
"Pro players don't hack to achieve accomplishments. They hack to achieve accomplishments faster."
Out of all my years of playing video games, this is quite possibly one of the most shocking things to come out of it. This is genuinely sad to hear.
One of? This is the biggest scandal ever in gd
@@diamond_hcr2 cyclics was arguably bigger
@@lolololololololololololilooo easily imo
@@lolololololololololololilooo I really don’t know how that is possible. Yeah it was huge but space messed up so many things and it is going to be a long time just how much damage he has caused
@@lolololololololololololilooo riot was considered by many as better, and cyclic was never really considered in a league of his own, and definitely not like spaceuk was thought to be. spaceuk claimed he would be the next nswish. the next god, far better than everyone else. everyone knows the cyclic and riot rivalry. but spaceuk had no rivals. so he carried on earning thousands of pounds and pretending he knew how hard levels were, lying. he hasn't apologised. also, when cyclic was exposed for the hell zone and sonic wave he immediately said he hacked everything. space tried to lie and say "i beat the main list legit tho" which was surprise surprise a lie
cyclic cared, spaceuk profited
curious, what's the song at 2:30? i've heard it in many GD videos, yet I haven't found the origin
Since today, I think NoctaFly's case was the most shocking for me
..guys don't search up "Doggie Slaughterhouse"
i need to ask u the music u used during "the downfall" section of the video. ive been looking for it ever since sea1997 used it like 7 years ago
I already commented this on another video but even if in every game there’s cheaters it’s scary how in a community so aware of everything there’s still cheaters around and nobody bats an eye
I honestly dont even know if I trust space saying his hardest is Kenos. Keep in my mind he tried to keep up his reputation for as long as possible.

I’d believe it if he can get 96 on the golden as his fifth demon I believe kenos, honestly still incredibly talented player
@@kriaz9916 I dont even know if I believe him on the golden
He honestly is the modern cyclic, except for the fact that he didn’t even confess himself
I've been looking for the song that plays in the background at 2:33 for a long time.
Could someone kindly tell me which song that is?
Sorry to hear about this! DO you think you could make more documentary videos like this? I love watching Blue's and I think you could make great ones!
I absolutely love how Doggie was trying to verify slaughterhouse and then spaceuk was like “yoink” and took it from him and then he gets exposed, so that means that after slaughterhouse was “verified” Doggie got the first victor after “verification” meaning he verified it since spaceuk hacked, so basically it’s like a uno reverse card we didn’t know existed
Yoink? Did you mean "Zoink"? 😂 (Get it?)
@@CindersGD it was a good joke except the laughing emoji and the (get it?) ruined it
@@jemz1654 I mean we can all have opinions
we all know this man will get 100k subs soon
omg what is the background audio at the start of the video its from the house that jack built but i cant find it
I was blindsided by this news, I wasn’t around when the cyclic or noctafly stuff happened but imagine it was like this. This really says a lot about cheat detection too it needs to be improved dramatically
Unfortunate A lot of us myself included; loved this player, respected; and DEFINITELY looked up to him along with other Top players like Doggie and Zoink and such. But now this? Damn 8/
2:28 HOLY SHIT the nostalgia (sea1997)
Yessir!
@@Vortrox hey what song is this?
Not expecting me to wake up and to see that one of my favorite players was a hacker. I can’t believe he got away with all this and now we will never see him again. This is way worse than the Cyclic incident a while back ago. It’s sad to see him go this way.
Congrats on 300K subs!
Truly one of the moments of all time.
Glad I didn't pick Space to verify Centipede.
hi again buddy
good choice
I don't even think he completed Kenos or Wasureta or jumped from easy demons.
He said his hardest is still kenos
Very good video summarizing everything, thank you. This is litterally the biggest hacker caught in GD so far and I cannot believe I witnessed it when I did
Honestly he was one of my favourite players and one whose skill i was amazed by the most. Though I was always a bit suspicious of him. From him privating old videos or not including clicksounds in some of his youtube completions. I always hoped I was wrong about that but here we are
I am actually not surprised at all. I have seen lots of ppl getting exposed for many things and so this doesn't make me impressed. I just hope he improves in the future
I have beaten clubstep in 6727 attempts I’m so proud of myself!
gg
@@mmeo976 I don’t really care. He beat an extreme demon in less than 1000 attempts. And I can barely beat deadlocked.
@@mmeo9761:44 I’m sharing my connection to this.
I saw ur video on tt, then i watched a video again and again and again, suprised at spaceuk, bery understandable commentery too
wow, im actually sad about this one. spaceuk was a player i looked up to. now he's a player that i still respect, but am disappointed by. although i still do look up to him, its now in a different light.
Bro pulled a cyclic 💀
My life has been a lie. I considered him the second coming of nSwish, maybe even overtaking him, I looked up to him as a GD player. I followed and admired him. This is devastating.
This is sad, I kinda looked up to space and was really disappointed when this was revealed, this also makes me worried a bit for the future of extreme demons, hopefully this doesn't happen again
this whole situation is pretty sad, me personally i got back into the community in like 2020/2021 after so many years and i accepted spaceuk as the best player like many other people (can't say i didn't have doubts about everyone after coming back to gd after years and seeing how hard things had gotten), but now i think that too many people are saying he WOULD'VE been a promising player. well he hacked, but he could still keep playing the game normally from now on. he could actually try and get as good as we all thought he was. they deleted his records, it doesn't mean he can't play anymore ever again
Welcome to GD News!
It’s surprising to me no one saw this coming. I always had a feeling he was a hacker bcuz bro beat so many extreme demons in such a short amount of time
same here
I’m so sad that space decided to hack and be brought down like that. I know a lot of players looked up to him and I even jumps from the nightmare to nine circles because of him
I am in a state of deja vu rn. Cyclic was another Top 1 player that verified the hardest level at the time (Sonic Wave) using hacks. This was over seven years ago. time flies
absolutely insane quality content how tf you make this so fast
I grinded from the moment i woke up for like 10 hours lol
@@Vortrox damn wow respect
petition to make 940px a meme
Been praying for his downfall ever since he "quit" gd and had his demonlist profile deleted only to return 2 days later and beg for it to be reinstated
Excellent video in a short time Vortrox
I actually cannot believe moist critical reacted to this LMAO
This explains why he has literally no reaction when he beats a level.
After hearing this news, I'm still motivated to beat Kyouki one day before I die, no matter how many attempts it would take (if I get a better pc)
This has made me really anxious about other top players being outed as hackers. You never know
This is actually crazy. I really thought he was a prodigy and one of the best legitimate players ever!
Sick
When will you let me out of your basement devin
As a player that started playing in April of 2020 as well, my hardest is an easy hard demon wtf
I wasn't introduced by anyone, I introduced myself...
Im so sorry for asking this but what is the song name starting at 6:32?
Littleroot Town from Pokémon ORAS
@@Vortrox Thanks, I really appreciate it!
Have a nice day!
@@Vortrox And to add to my previous message, sorry for again asking, this is not the type of video, where people (I) should be asking random song names. Apologies.
i have no idea how we didnt suspect him even tho he jumped from an easy to an insane
Top 1 player and not under 16 years old. That’s all the proof you need 💀
I'm starting to think Doggie is the best player
This is like cyclic all over again.
It took a month for his first demon it took me six months to beat stereo madness but luckily by now I have beat 2 demons
space went from having it all at the top to completely nothing
Hero to zero.
Tbh vortrox,idk if you agree with me,but this scandal its far worst than Noctafly/Death Corridor situation,in my opinion,the demonlist had a scar since that exposing and now the list have won another one but worst than that,it shows that opened a gap,of how many other players have hacked their verifications and the lack of trust in the community its completely (i wouldnt say so low) bad. And it got worst after he won 2 times Best Player in GD awards,showing how much spotlights from other pro players (like doggie and trick),got stolen from it,they could remove spaceuk from the titles of 2021 and 2022 awards giving them to the other two mentioned,but i doubt it would be enough to close this page on geometry dash community.
SpaceUK was my favorite GD player ever. I thought he was the best player ever but now that I know he hacked all of his completions really hit me hard. 😢
This feels like a repeat of Cyclic.
- Top player turns out to be hacker
- Is genuinely good at the game, but still hacked (Cyclic came back to beat levels legit iirc)
- "Verified" a level so difficult it would have a large legacy and broke the difficulty barrier
- Stole some honorable spots from other top players (like first victor)
This situation is the most Zoink situation ever!!!!
How did you make this in a day
I grinded from the moment I woke up for like 10 hours
Music/backround sources? (At 6:32?):
This situation is identical to the Clone Hero player Schmooey haha. Everything from insane growth, new community heights, stealing true first evers from others, it's crazy that this happened to two different communities only a little over a year apart.
I've already expressed my opinion countless times on other videos/servers, so I'll just say one thing.
This video was made so fast and it is so good. Good stuff Vortrox :)
Thank you :)
I feel bad for space, but at the same time, not really. Thank you for covering this, vortrox ❤
Feel bad for space???
I don't feel bad for space at all, he earned so much money just by hacking and stole the recognition from the real legitimate hard- working GD players.
I seriously admired this player and am genuinely shocked that bro hacked almost all of his extremes, and it's even sadder considering that he really had talent coz he actually did those difficulty jumps (except golden) but decided to hack instead.
ITS BEEN 1 DAY AND YOU MAKE THIS
Only 600 attempts on can’t let go?! Na bros a god
bro i made a shcool project on dis
YO WHAT
space was like the messi of gd
an icon that most look up to
a prodigy with skill never seen before
until space was exposed
bro for the longest time i always thought of spaceuk as "the peak of geometry dash skill" it genuinely amazed me how good he was and i always looked up to him. a year later and now im just disappointed
MOIST CRITIKAL IS CURRENTLY LOOKING AT THE VIDEO
Honestly I think space is still a good guy. He's let his past actions go by him. He is a great dude. Happy merry Halloween st Patrick's day!!!
how did you make this video so fast 😮
Fun fact the first level he hacked was the golden he actually did go straight from an DeCode to Windy Landscape legit witch is still pretty crazy
Newgens finally got their own cyclic
XDD
It is sad that Spaceuk hacked Acheron and slaughterhouse
It is jjgh 😔
@@gillboygd yep
