For a video, name your favorite/most impressive thing you've EVER seen done in Geometry Dash!
If you name something that will be in the video, your channel will be added in the description!

Ah yes, a non-veteran GD player telling me what a veteran GD player knows: perfect

[ItsJustDemon]

Fun fact: "More Games" button still show spin-off games if you playing on mobile

[Extic]

fun fact: once i noticed that the original half block was missing, i just went onto a very old copyable and made the original half slab a custom object

[Sloppnheimer]

I like how the google+ logo at the start was barely censored

[GD.WINTER]

1:50 I wonder who that Winter guy is...

[GDProxified]

3:03 It was because registered account only existed in 2.0
4:38 Same reason, registered account came in 2.0. Unregistered account still can change their name now
8:30 Leaderboard came in 1.3 and star in 1.2
9:36 He clearly wasn't lol
15:54 It makes the ground color the same color with the bg. It's the same as copy color now, but only with ground and bg
16:24 Before color trigger for bg, ground, line, obj and color id were separated. It was combined in a single trigger in 2.0

68: it was extremely rare but still possible to get a girlfriend in 1.0

Its a cool day when someone tells us what old GD player would know

This video has a lot of inaccuracies and some things aren’t fully explained so I thought I’d correct some stuff

1:56 deadlocked actually used to have a much worse bug that got fixed in a mini update where you went through the entire first wave as a cube. This was actually how the first victor (with proof) of deadlocked, Zobros beat it on his channel.

3:03 the “friends” tab got added the same update accounts (and therefore friends) got added. And the “top week” tab got removed because it was just filled with hackers.

2:36 can confirm this is 100% accurate

4:06 I don’t know why he sometimes mentions the exact dates and other times only says “back then” or “earlier updates” the notification sound being pitched up for every achievement was added in 2.2.0
4:32 “in 1.0” is pretty misleading. You can change your username any time on an unregistered account to this day. And you have never been able to instantly change your username on a registered account

4:48 I don’t know why you used stereo madness as the example since the first 10 levels use this block. Also this is wrong, the half block in stereo madness can be made by going to the block you showed at 5:11, clicking detail. Then changing the color channel used, to black. But I know you know this and are just trying to extend the runtime

5:45 geometry dash never got removed from the Googleplay store (well actually it did in July of 2023 but that’s it’s own thing) robtop got scared because *other* games were getting deleted because of this

7:46 good job, you didn’t even get the year right. The everyplay servers got shut down on october 1st 2018. With all the videos uploaded to it being lost to time. But you could still use the record feature on mobile if you turned off your wifi all the way up until 2.2 where the record button got removed.

8:06 the discount got added in 2.201 (or 2.205 for mobile players) also the diamond keeper and the mechanic also got a discount on all of their items with the extra orbs you would have saved being returned if you had already bought them

8:18 that’s such a weird thing to say just to add a few more seconds?!? Like “back then a thing that got added hadnt gotten added yet” like wow, big surprise. (The speed portals got added with the update of electrodynamix 1.7 btw)

9:07 that’s also an incredibly weird fact to add. Like are your videos AI generated? Cause there’s no way someone who plays geometry dash and makes YouTube videos would writes that in the script and go “yeah this seems like a meaningful addition to the video”

10:54 the magic tab has always been unclear with its requirements, it got added in 2.1 and originally was a list of levels with over 10K objects sorted by most recent. But that later got changed to levels with 30 hours in the editor, 20k objects, long length, a move trigger and ldm. Some other theorized requirements were that it’s objects couldn’t be too densely packed
20+ color channels
100+ groups
Level couldn’t be copied unless a huge number of the objects were replaced
20+ hours in the editor of the level
All of the requirement were theorized and never confirmed as far as I’m aware and in late 2.1 the requirement got changed again to just be sent by a mod


12:55 no, a level does not need to be extremely long for this to be possible.
**the shortest I could do this with a level in testing was 6 seconds but it could probably be done shorter. Either way this is just another misleading waboo fact**

13:13 this is true. It was “removed” back in 1.1 but was still possible up until 1.2 which is how one of the first humanly impossible levels (at the time) the hell world by sohn0924 was made

15:53 it changes the ground to the same color selected, kinda like copy and paste color. But it’s funny you said “nobody knows”

17:07 this would have been false if you hadn’t said “one of”. While robtop changing levels in some way or another isn’t a common occurance it has still happened to many levels in the past

17:17 “Back in the day” lol it was 4 months ago. If you’re interested, the order each stat point got added are
1.0 only stars and creator points
1.2 demons got added
1.6 secret coins get added
2.0 user coins get added
2.1 diamonds get added
2.200 moons get added
2.201 (or 2.205 for mobile players) diamonds get removed and can only be seen by clicking the i next to the name of the user

Waboo if you’re reading this as much as I have criticized the choices you’ve madeI don’t mean any hate with this. You’re $1000 creator constest was sick and I am commenting this for both you to improve and to raise awareness of the misinformation in this video. That’s it

Also if you find any other mistakes in this video or my comment, let me know in the replies

[runningduck]

3:59 if robtop added them... artists would draw them in a y'know what way.

[ChickenOFStudios]

2:21 Bro was gonna beat locked and not deadlocked!

[giraffelove]

16:54 obviously, moons didnt exist back then, they came out in 2.2, so i think youre the new guy here buddy

[thegreatjan]

6:15 you misunderstood this bug. they did not crash in levels themselves, their entire games crashed.

[alpine]

Challenge idea: take a shot whenever waboo spreads misinformation

[TheGreenViewer]

4:08 Correction, you’re able to do exactly that, However, you’ll have to be unregistered.

[TheBigSmqch]

11:40 Ain’t no way bro snuck in a « back in my day » into his video 😂😂😂

[MapleclawGD]

4:40 you can do that so long as you aren’t logged in, and considering accounts didn’t exist at the time, that makes sense

[obgmvwu]

The 1.0 slab/half block is still available, you just have to select it and add it into your custom obejects lists

It will be placed on the middle of the grid though
Use snap-to-grid to fix this, it will put the block onto the top half of the grid.

[Hqrz]

11:04 It used to show the unregistered username but now its changed into a single minus character because of someone transferred all the unregistered users to a single account called "TeamHax". It includes their levels and their comments. The unregistered users got their levels restored and changed into a single minus character and to this day, the comments are on the " TeamHax" account.
An actual fact that waboo DOESNT know 🤓
