Wikipedia is not a strategy guide or instruction manual. Wikipedia articles should focus on the games themselves, not on how to play them; they should not contain tips, tricks, or cheat codes. That information is available elsewhere (such as on our sister project, Wikibooks), in printed guides and online, and does not belong in an encyclopedia entry. Please do not add your own hints or opinions of the game. Verifiable content about the history, design, and overall description of the game is welcome. If you have questions about whether specific information should be added, ask here first.

The following references may be useful when improving this article in the future:

acronyms

Currently, the article does not mention the common abbreviations ‘GD’ or ‘GMD’ anywhere. Within the community, the game is rarely referred to by its full name; instead, the acronyms ‘GD’ or ‘GMD’ are predominantly used. I propose adjusting the opening sentence to read: ‘Geometry Dash (also known as GD or GMD) is a side-scrolling music platforming game series…’ This would better reflect common usage and improve accessibility for readers familiar with the game’s abbreviations.

Common abbreviations by insiders aren't necessary to mention. Wikipedia is written for a large audience, not for people familiar with this game. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 15:30, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

how come you allow it on the simple english wikipedia article for this page then? ReeseyBeestey (talk) 05:17, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Different Wikipedias have different guidelines. But that there it should be removed as well. It doesn't help the general reader understand the topic any better. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 07:25, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Improvement on page

Hello I think this page could be way much improved by taking inspiration of the French page 2A01:E0A:40C:6390:5440:B375:72D3:ED5E (talk) 20:09, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Small Update

It states that in Geometry Dash Lite online features are disabled, although in a relatively new update, online levels were enabled, the featured level list, daily level, weekly demon, and event level have been enabled in the game. 2A00:23C7:7A0B:2601:92A6:115:48DE:74ED (talk) 23:15, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Example of a custom level?

I think we should know the difference between an official level and a user-made level. I think it outlines the capabilities of the built in editor, and would be able to explain what the editor does... or at least, can do.... Barcodc (talk) 03:35, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

change 26 official levels to 27, as The Challenge is another level accessible offline Soib (talk) 01:42, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

if this were added, it may be worth removing "full-length" as the level grants similar rewards to other main levels, but lacks coins and is significantly shorter than other classic levels Soib (talk) 01:51, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Updates

What if we added a log of updates like this:

1.0 - Cube, Ship game modes, Yellow Jump orbs and pads.

1.1

1.2

and so on until 2.2. 2.2 Would be a tab on its on then subtabs like triggers, editor improvements, and more. Make sure we do this!

49.3.12.88 (talk) 06:32, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This would be a suitable idea for the page. I personally think it would be very cool to have an update log for 1.0, 2.0, 2.2 and upcoming updates like 2.21, 2.3 and more. SixMillionNineThousand (talk) 06:34, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No, that is unnecessary. Wikipedia is not a WP:GAMEGUIDE. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 07:23, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

2.2

Can we talk about 2.2?

Semi-protected edit request on 27 January 2025

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Geometry Dash. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Geometry Dash can be played using a mouse, keyboard, controller, sayodevice, or touchscreen. Voidy gd (talk) 06:36, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
