Geometry Dash BEST Levels From 1.0 - 2.2

These are the Best Geometry Dash levels from 1.0 to 2.2 (from each version) The list includes demons and user levels up until 2024.
I decided to choose according to gameplay, decoration and originality. For this reason I included famous levels like The Nightmare. Also I asked some other people for suggestions, thanks to Haru, Arclia and Boffis123 for helping out.

Special thanks to the pro players who own some of the footage, like Nexus GD and GD Archives.

Please note that the best Geometry Dash 2.2 level WILL change in the future since the update just came out.

Thank you so much for watching the video, don't forget to like and subscribe!

correction: Funnygame Holiday was released in 1.7, not 1.6

[thomaspoon]

imo there are at least 3-4 levels better than subwoofer lullaby, but it's crazy to see the difference in decoration between versions

Don't get me wrong, I think that recent updates like 2.1 and 2.2 have made the game undoubtedly better. Levels are more works of art then ever before.
But I think that in the absolute freedom the recent updates have given us, we've all but lost the unique culture GD once had. A culture of creativity fostered by restrictions; of everyone learning the editor alongside everyone else, before being thrust into another update only months later. I feel that 2.1 was the first update to be fully mastered. And that's oddly beautiful to me, even if it is just a three dollar mobile game.

Good list overall.
I think id change 1.9 from toxin lab II to bloodbath or death moon and 2.2 from subwoofer lullaby to chromaside, flipswap factory or semiquaver. 2.1 could be a lot of things really.
My go to options are WHAT, dream flower, white space, castlemania, dark odyssey, glorious fortress, storming summit and edge of destiny (and maybe emerald realm)

[SkyNightYTBE]

Woah wait, that's actually cool. The first rated level is also the best of it's time. Nice level Darnoc

[Nsquare_]

Levels back then was something else man

[TroyBoyJoy]

I can't judge anything below 1.9 cuz idk that many levels from that time but 1.9 to now should be imo
1.9-Windy Landscape
2.0-Yatagurasu
2.1-Virtualization
2.2-Logodomy

Funnygame Holiday was 1.7. That's when the first color blocks and channel was added.

[googoorami]

Honestly a solid list. Although there could have been room for more levels like in an honorable mentions area? I would’ve added maybe Change Of Scene and some other Bli levels as well as like B for being an og

I’m gonna keep it real, I think I joined back in 2.1 and quit before the 2.11 update, but I used to play about 8 or 7years ago at the age of 8 or 9, and quit when I was like 10 or 11. I wasn’t even aware of a 2.2 update or heard about it, but I played it on my crusty dusty musty kindle fire. And I remember back then being crazy about playing fingerdash and watching 8-but Ryan and thinking “I’m never going to be as good as him”. I came back maybe 7 or 8 months ago, discovered a 2.2 update, but then realized the first thing leaked about it was 3 YEARS AGO and thought maybe the game died off and there was something from robtop saying 2.2 is cancelled, but then I just discovered this guy just never rlly leaks anything. 6 months later the update comes out at the middle of night for me. But this video brings little nostalgia to me as I remember none of these levels, I was never a FULLY PLEDGED and SERIOUS gd player. But seeing this makes me notice how far we’ve come since even early 2.1/11, and I’m proud to be a part of this great community of nice people (and honestly, this is the BEST community I’ve ever seen, and I mean I’m coming from the ROBLOX community, I’d know). But now I’m on PC, and LOVE this game. But to make this comment not so deep one part of this video made me laugh: my inner demons talking to me be like: 5:25

You can really tell how much of the GOAT funnygame was from how his levels pioneered themed levels and did it better than everyone else at the time

[MuhIbnuAbbas.]

I'm really happy with this community ❤

[boffisgd]

Sweet! I gotta try that Minecraft level though... :D

Updates/Corrections/Opinions :
1.3 level was so good that it got added to a map pack
1.5 : What about Stereo Demoness ? It has some cool art
Also Crazy Bolt has 1.6 objects . Specifically here : 5:43 and 5:55 invisible objects from Clubstep
1.6 : Also this is from 1.7 used way too many colors for 1.6 7:01 and also 3x speed in 7:12
I suggest DorabaeBasic for 1.6 it was so memorable
1.9 : There were many good levels, but I think Revolution by funnygame was the best . It is just my opinion though
2.0 : Lonely Travel ? But AA was good too . Most 2.0 levels were bad
2.1 : My opinion here might be controversial but I love The Golden and I think it is the best 2.1 level.
