Talk:Geometry Dash

i think we should add terminology due to the fact that GD terminology may be confusing to newer players, i.e. "Jump" can either be a main game mechanic, or it can mean progressing from an easier level to a more difficult level than what would be expected from usual progression. Rhys North (talk) 22:04, 22 January 2026 (UTC)

Yeah it's kinda confusing it has two particular meanings, both only understood by people who play the game. I think the former is more important to talk about though, since it's actually part of the game, and the latter will probably not merit a mention. LivinAWestLife (talk) 23:40, 22 January 2026 (UTC)

@Rhys North If you meant a separate terminology section I don't think that's needed LivinAWestLife (talk) 23:40, 22 January 2026 (UTC)

The article is severly downplaying the fact that Geometry Dash's fundamental gameplay and aesthetics are straight copies of The Impossible Game. It merely states that it was "inspired by other titles such as The Impossible Game and Super Meat Boy", which is misleading, as it suggests that the parallels to (the rather obscure) TIG are similarly faint as to (the much more well-known) Super Meat Boy. ~2026-79198-9 (talk) 11:03, 5 February 2026 (UTC)

if you've got a good source about that? we'd love to include it. Corsaka (talk) 02:15, 13 February 2026 (UTC)

I agree with this. Geometry Dash to the impossible game is like oreo to hydrox ~2026-16836-12 (talk) 12:09, 17 March 2026 (UTC)

Change "swing" (It introduced the "swing" gamemode) to "swingcopter" (It introduced the "swingcopter" gamemode) to match the official name of the game mode as swing is shortened ~2025-43375-86 (talk) 11:43, 15 February 2026 (UTC)

 Not done: Swing is the official name of the gamemode. See, for example, the official 2.2 changelog. 🍅 fx (talk) 12:03, 15 February 2026 (UTC)

Change (Each level is assigned one of six difficulties: "easy", "normal", "hard", "harder", "insane", and "demon") to (Each level can have one of seven difficulties: "auto", "easy, "normal", "hard", "harder", "insane", and "demon". Additionally, the demon difficulty can have one of five ratings within itself: "easy demon", "medium demon", "hard demon", "insane demon", and "extreme demon".) ~2026-10836-91 (talk) 03:52, 26 February 2026 (UTC)

I will also note that this information is already in the article:

Levels may be rated one of the six difficulties the main levels have, or given the "auto" difficulty if user input is not required to complete the level.

User-made demon levels are divided into five additional difficulties: "easy demon", "medium demon", "hard demon", "insane demon", and "extreme demon" ZKevinTheCat (talk) 03:22, 27 February 2026 (UTC)

Change: "This peaked in January 2026, when the concurrent player count reached 103,840." To: "This peaked in March 2026, when the concurrent player count reached 109,993. ^[1]"

I have a feeling that the game might reach another peak soon, since its broken it's own player peak every month so far in 2026. This might be worth adding in some way. This is my first time contributing to a Wikipedia article, so I'm not sure. ~2026-16836-12 (talk) 12:32, 17 March 2026 (UTC)

Y Done. The sentence has been changed to "This continued to rise into January 2026". Articles typically don't use SteamDB info, as it is not completely reliable. If a reliable source discusses the subject then this information may be added in the future. If you're wondering how to use and contribute to Wikipedia, Wikipedia:Contributing to Wikipedia is a good place to start. ZKevinTheCat (talk) 16:00, 17 March 2026 (UTC)

Thanks! But isn't SteamDB the MOST reliable, if not the only, source for this, other than directly from the developers? I'm pretty sure the TheGamer article just got it's info from SteamDB. ~2026-17027-14 (talk) 14:04, 18 March 2026 (UTC)

Fair point. There's a discussion here if you want to read it, but in short, SteamDB just uses estimates for its statistics, and does not have any editorial control or factchecking policies. However, if an article from a reliable discusses the subject, then that claim can be verified. According to the Wikiproject video games sources page, content from TheGamer is generally considered reliable if it was published after 2020, so it is usable here. If you want to start a conversation on the topic, you can go to the Video games sources page and discuss it there. Let's try not to use this place so that the page remains on topic.

the gd awards should be on here considering its a pretty big thing for the community ~2026-43022 (talk) 00:55, 20 March 2026 (UTC)
