1 Year Special! My Entire GD and GDA history so far! (Timeline and thoughts.)

This is supposed to be a post on a timeline and my thoughts of all my GD/GDA history. This is a one-year special, yes, but I will be detailing stuff that happened before I ed GDA (eg. What I did in my early days of GD.) Anyway, this is meant to be an extremely long post based on events that happened, and the thoughts I had. On to the post!

Edit: At the time I ed this, I didn’t know, but it has my day count as 364. The reason it still does is because I ed GDA sometime in the afternoon and rn it is only dawn, 12:09 AM.

Pre-GD: Geometry Dash World

Estimated 2017

Not much is known about this period in my GD career. I before I got into Geometry Dash, I saw a few people playing it, I knew it was quite popular, so I decided to play it. I didn’t want to pay for the real version at the time, so I just got Geometry Dash World. I kind of don’t playing it, and I kind of do playing it, but I also deleting it (I think from rage) off my iPad, and mostly forgot about it. That is the first recorded bit of history with me and Geometry Dash.

I Geometry Dash

Sometime in 2018

At this time, I saw the game on the app store and got it because I thought it looked fun. I knew it looked fun to play, but when I found out it had a level editor, I got really excited. I loved the concept of a level editor because you can do whatever you want, and the player reacts to it. When I got it, I didn’t know it even had a community, I just knew a few YouTubers played it, (I got inspired to it from Merg) and so I thought that it was some dead game that used to be popular. I just thought it was some game off the app store that a lot, but also not many people played.

.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•

I play it for the first time.

Later the day I bought GD.

A tiny bit after I bought Geometry Dash, I had to go visit my Grand Dad in his nursing home, when I was there, I talked to him, and I and my sister played Geometry Dash together. We were on Stereo Madness at this point. I made 1 good attempt, then my sister had 100’000’000 bad attempts. I was annoyed, so I asked my sister to give it back, and beat Stereo Madness in 10 attempts total (that isn’t too impressive but at the time I was impressed with myself.) After that, I was bored, so I took a break. Later that day, I would go on to try harder levels, but I was not able to beat them at the time.

Memory of me playing w/ my friends.

Also sometime in 2018.

I distinctly, sitting down with my friends, and ing down the IPad to play Geometry Dash. We used to show each other our new high scores, and we would make levels together. We would also try to beat levels together, which brings me to my next memory.

.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•

Fingerdash.

2018.

I fearing this level when I was a noob. I used to think that it was the hardest level just because it was at the very end. I and my friends would mainly play this level together because we all thought it was this insane and crazy achievement to beat it. We would try to beat it anyway. I that on my first attempt, I died at 2%, which is this spike |

         |

        V

I saying, “Oh, I thought you had to jump there,” and seeing my friends getting high scores on the level was insane to me because I would only sometimes get to the drop of the music. Which leads us to this guy.

My Friend.

Still 2018...

Back then, in the days of ing my IPad around to people in my friend group, there was one of my friends, (let’s call him Nathan) he was the best player in my friend group. He didn’t even have the original game, just Subzero, World, and Meltdown, but he was still better than me! He was getting closer to beating Fingerdash than me, and as I just established, he didn’t even have the original GD! He was able to get to the wave section in Fingerdash before he gave up (he beat it later on.) To me back then, he was a pro, and I had to get as good as him one day (of course now I know he wasn’t much of a pro.) But yeah, he is a footnote in my GD History

My First Level.

2018.

This is going to be a tiny segment. Not much is known about my first level, because my plebian self deleted the level out of rage. But I do it had the Djjaner loop of Megalovania, (yes, I said that right) and it began with a robot. In the robot, you had to jump in between spike gaps, and after that was a huge average ramp, that accelerated you to 4x speed. I that there was a spider, and all it was, was moving up and down, to avoid spikes. That’s all I about that.

.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•

I start beating the later main levels.

Late 2018.

At this time, there wasn’t much to go off on, so this was all I could . I one time my friend group had to leave, and I said “Well, it’s time to beat Back on Track.) For some reason, Back on Track was really hard for me at the time, but there was less skill involved, and more semi-memory sections (like the cubes.) I was also training to beat Polargeist, because I knew I would have to do that next. I beating Back on Track after Polargeist. Polargeist made me rage so hard at the time, it’s weird to think about. When I finally beat Polargeist and Back on Track, I was really happy, because I didn’t need to play such...”hard” levels again.

.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•

Kobrabite

2018-2019.

Kobrabite, unlike my other level, I didn’t delete. It is a very bad level, but at the time, I was very ambitious. The song of Kobrabite was the main GD level song: Clutterfunk. I tried to add many features to Kobrabite like straight flying, (ironically, I didn’t actually know that straight flying was a thing back then) exclamation marks in the same horizontal area has the block flying towards you, (got that from Jetpack Joyride.) and an orb you were not supposed to touch (got that off Polargeist.) From what I , the level had no blocks to jump on except for a small block bridge in the middle of the drop. The level, suggesting the name, was based off being eaten by a cobra, and you were meant to avoid its fangs (which were the spikes.) I did make a level after this called Legacy, but I don’t feel like talking about that one. Anyway, Kobrabite is still up, so if you want to play it, put in the ID 48672824, but be warned, it has a severe case of noobiness.

My rating on the level: 3/10

I GDA.

12/13 February 2019.

This is a bit of a time skip, but it leads to something great, this leads to the creation of my Amino and GDA profile. I first ed the Geometry Dash Amino because I really liked Geometry Dash (I still do) and no one I knew really played it. I really wanted to talk to people about the game and make friends with people who also like GD. Then I had an idea while watching a youtube video. The video was sponsored by Amino, and in the sponsor ad I saw all that was in it. I wondered to myself if it was just like some crappy app that got d by some guy because the guy wanted money. Well I still ed it, looked up “Geometry Dash,” and this is what popped up first, so I picked it. My first ever post, made on the 12th of February 2019, was called “What is favourite level?” The description read as, “Mine is personally Slam.” I was intimidated by the community. I thought that I couldn’t fit in at the time, because I was just some guy who liked GD who wanted to make friends. And I did just that, I made friends in this Amino since then, so I guess that goal was achieved. Soon my intimidation fizzled away, into mild intimidation.

My First Demon - The Nightmare.

2019.

One day in 2019. I was in the car, and really wanted to beat my first demon. People were always completing demons around me, and I didn’t even have one. Come on, we’ve all been there. I ed The Nightmare, grinded it to kingdom come, and had my final attempt. It was a very hard level to me at the time, but now, it rests as my second easiest demon.

My First Ever Friend on GDA - Maeday.

2019.

On the post “How good am I,” was a poll. The description told them all my demons. The poll had 5 options: Terrible, Bad, Normal, Good and Amazing. In the comments, a guy called “Maeday” commented and said, “Pretty good for mobile.” Then came an arguement in the comment section. I knew that Maeday was wrong about me, and that I was a noob, but still, he was on my side for some reason, and he must be nice if he is telling people to not rate Terrible because it would make me feel down. But really, I wanted people to rate honestly.

That was the start of our friendship. He is my first friend I have ever had on GDA. He was the one who motivated me time and time again to get better at GD.

I followed him in his journey of trying to beat CraZy. I wanted to be as good as him (not exactly yet either) and I wanted to beat CraZy with him. He constantly motived me to beat CraZy in the dm’s and I did the same. He beat CraZy, and later I did too. I have a lot to thank him for. He’s been my best friend on here for a long time.

TBeastX

I forgot exactly the time we became friends, so I am just going to put the segment here. I him just being one of the people that others would talk about, and sometimes I would see him with his OG Naruto pfp around. Soon, I actually engaged in conversation, and that is the first time we met. We became friends on the Meme Chat, (a chat I made) and back then I was typing in the whole Donkey Kong rap as he occasionally said something about how weird it was. We became friends soon after that, and we dm each other from time to time to find out how we have been doing, and what we have been doing. Also, I feel sorry for him now, because his got hacked by a piece of crappy bappy. A truly great yee memer.

Now back to the canonical timeline.

I Do Some Stuff

From May 2019

This was where I realised that I was such a noob, nobody even knew who the heck I was. Seeing people on GDA beating demons left and right was really weird to me, so from there I started training really hard. I was and still am desperate to get better. I played 30 challenges everyday, and I spent my time trying to beat demons. I was reaching newer heights. 5 Demons. 10 Demons. 15 Demons. I thought I would have never gotten there. Then I started realising that none of my demons were all that hard, and people would dub them “Free Demons.” I started getting quite mad, because it had brung me back to the mentality of ‘I am going nowhere, I wish that I was better.’ I tried and tried to beat harder demons (I ended up beating Electroman V2) and none of them were easy enough for me to beat. I also realised that if they were easy, they wouldn’t be hard (no shit sherlock).

.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•

All Main Levels complete!

I was on my journey to beat the main game of Geometry Dash, and I wanted to beat the main demons, too.

Clubstep

Clubstep was fairly hard for me, but I got through it. I having so much trouble with the first ship. In a livestream, I ended up beating the ship, and from there, the ship got easier. The ship was a hard obstacle, but there was more to come. I hours of me streaming Clubstep and practicing it, getting to new heights, (the ufo was also hard) and the second phase is where my hands would have been shaking, and it would be harder for me to focus. That is what made it so hard. The second phase of Clubstep was just a delay on the inevitable, and I knew it. I , when I beat it, I was streaming, and I screamed out “YES! I DID IT,” for relief. I felt so good back then, and now, it is a footnote in my GD history. It took around 3K attempts, and it stands as my 7th hardest demon today.

Theory of Everything 2.

I the first time I played it, I wouldn’t think that I would have been trying it. After I beat Clubstep, I started cramming into Theory of Everything 2 (hereby known as ToE 2). I played the first day for a few hours, and it really annoyed me, but Clubstep had brung me one step closer, so I was better than I had expected I would have been. I kept practicing, and after a few days, I started getting drained of my excitement to beat the level. I kept on asking myself when I was going to beat ToE 2 and I wondered if I would even feel accomplished if I did. All I would be able to do is tell my friends, and move onto Deadlocked (I really didn’t feel ready for that then). I soon became scared of the level, and I would get nervous every time I would start playing the level again. After around 2 weeks of streaming and playing it, I beat it in the car in 2K attempts. Even though this took less attempts than Clubstep, this WAS harder.

This is my 4th hardest demon today.

Deadlocked.

There isn’t much to say about this. It is basically like the two other main demons. I that I thought I wouldn’t beat Deadlocked. The wave spam really annoyed me, and I couldn’t consistently get NEAR the end at all. The memory ship at the end to me was insanely hard, so I practically gave up. A little while later, I came back to it, and one last push with the skill I gained earlier let me beat Deadlocked in around 2834 attempts. It is my second hardest demon today.

After that, I had to finish off the remaining levels (Electrodynamix and Hexagon Force), and then I was done.

They were a challenge, especially Electrodynamix. It was insane. I it being so hard for me. I was really annoyed because I saw people beating it first time, and then beating 2 demons after, and I was struggling with the Electrodynamix part. Soon enough, I beat it.

Even though I had gotten better, I really just couldn’t add up to any of the other players. That leads us to the next segment in the timeline.

CraZy.

August 4th, 2019.

Lasted around 5 months.

This story is about my hardest demon of all time (so far). This story had brung pain, sadness, happiness and outcome to me. This is certainly the biggest chapter of my Geometry Dash career (so far).

Let’s begin.

I was searching through GDA sometime in August, and saw that Maeday had made a new post. I checked out what it was, and saw that he was playing CraZy. I kind of forgot about it but then I stumbled across the post again, and curiosity got the better of me. I saw that he was getting significant progress (38%). Back then, I thought that we had the same skill level, so I started playing it. I didn’t know what I was getting myself into.

The First Rush.

I went into practice mode, and practiced each tiny section many times, sometimes even a single jump. I practiced more and more, and made my first bit of progress; 18%. I know, it was not much, but I was determined to beat it as to not stay a noob. I kept practicing, got deaths in the twenties of percents, but my whole world was flipped upside down at the drop. I practiced at the drop for hours, but it was so fast, and there were so many timings! I gave up that day. The very next day, I had a lot of time on my hands. I ed that I had practiced for four hours straight, and only got up to around 37% estimated. That was the first time I felt the humiliation and pain of playing CraZy with my skill at the time. The next day, I was more reluctant to play it, but I did. I got around 42% after around 2-3 hours, and gave up again, because it was too hard. I had a main problem with the beginning, which was one of the hardest part to get consistent at. Also, from there to the drop is also hectic because of the hard timings you have to do, and that blinking black screen, DAMN I hated that. I do practicing the days after that, but the training usually lasted only 30m-1H. I know, it was a good idea to do that, as I got 50-55% when that week and a half of hell was over, but I should not have pushed myself so hard, because I gave up after around 9-11 days (that wasn’t a joke).

The Big Break

Lasted around 3 months

The big break was, as the name stated, a big break. I felt so demotivated from playing CraZy, that I didn’t want to play it ever again. I occasionally played it in the big break, and didn’t get much after around 1 month of the break, I got 80% and got even more demotivated from there. I tried to replicate what I did there, and it never worked. I started getting scared of the level, getting paranoid bad things would happen. Every time I would open the level, I felt like I was going to vomit. It was that feeling of fear in my stomach. Even then, my attempts weren’t very effective. Usually, my average percent from 0 would be 20 -highballing there. The good attempts would be 35% (yes) and the extremely rare attempts were around 60%. I contemplated giving up a heck of a lot of times. Every time I was getting annoyed and wanted to give up, Maeday motivated me to beat it. After learning that Maeday was close to beating it, I started practicing again, but didn’t get much. Soon after, I heard the news that Maeday finally beat CraZy, of course I was happy for him, but I was also quite sad, because now I was alone in my progress to try and complete CraZy, it was only me and the level now, and I was ready. I played a little more often, and got really mad. I was going to quit and I basically did. Around 1.5 months later, I was finally back to playing CraZy.

The Final Push.

Lasted about 3 days.

I was finally ready. I had a huge marathon of playing CraZy. Steamrolled over the hundreds of attempts. I really didn’t care how many times I died that day, I really just wanted to finally beat it and I was truly determined. I felt like I was going no where, but I couldn’t have been more wrong. After around 700 attempts, I felt I was getting a tiny bit better, and stopped at 900 attempts that day. The next day, I had around 200 attempts of practice. The second day is when I realised that my efforts the day before were not for nothing. I was playing CraZy, and I was WAY more consistent at the beginning, and felt I was even getting better in that play-through. After I was done, I played all the main levels each with one attempt and didn’t expect much. I had so much fire inside me that I felt like I was going to explode. And the next day...

I beat CraZy.

January 3rd 2020.

The next day, I woke up, got on my iPad, and started to play CraZy. The fruits of my effort two days before had fully manifested, and the fruits of my effort 1 day before were starting to manifest, giving me a bigger skill boost than before. In fact, so big that it was insane. The 1st attempt I had was nothing special, neither was the second. But on the third, I has already gotten further than ever before. My heart was beating so fast, after around 3 more attempts after that, I played on my last attempt ever for that level. I went fine. 10%. 20%. Music drop. I was burning with the fiery rage of a determined GD player. I started to get really nervous when I got to 75%, because after that is a really hard timing. I even beat 75%. 80%. New high score. Now all I needed to do was complete the final phase. I paused at the 3.5 second break near the end. I went into the Official Chat of GDA, and told them. I asked them if they thought I could beat it. I was frozen in fear. I was awaiting responses, but then I realised. If I wanted to get the level done, I had to do it myself, I was scared, but I unpaused the game. There were many timings in the end phase. My hand was shaking, but I had to get it done. I got to the final tap, infamous for killing people because of its annoying timing. I was so close, but I survived. I did it. I won. I wondered if it was real. I looked at it and had to second check. I was less excited than I expected. There were many thoughts of “I BEAT IT,” but also many thoughts of “What now? Is this the peak of my skill?” Later, I did get very excited, and started saying gg in the official chat. I was so happy, finally free from all the stress the damned level had caused me. But I was free. I got so much on my CraZy post. More than 200 props were given by many kind people. People congratulated me, and I felt accomplished.

Things that happened during the CraZy era.

Meme Chat Founded

???

I I was annoyed at people one time, and I wanted there to be some chill chat with no fighting, no offence, just fun and memes, so thats when I created the (my) Meme Chat. The first one to the server other than me was TBeastX, and we were just making some cringy jokes. I before this I was making a post series where I just made GD/GDA memes. They were, needless to say, freaking terrible.

They were probably terrible because of the quick rate of meme , and the amount of time I set for myself to think of a joke. The only one of mine in the meme series I slightly liked was this one.

Even then, the meme wasn’t very good in the first place. Since I really like memes, I created the (my) Meme Chat. It was a humble chat at the time. Only a few people, one of the few people who would continually put memes on there was Techmadness, and he still does. People sent memes occasionally, I would send memes, it was a humble chat. That’s when I invited a lot of people and they started ing like lego blocks. Soon enough, I didn’t even need to send invites, and I would be reading through the memes new meme-bers sent. Now it has more than 100 memers (thank you guys) and we will hopefully soon be a meme central. Something crazy even happened to the chat once. Wong Wong, yes, the MIGHTY Wong WONG, ED THE FREAKING CHAT. I even did my voice reveal there so get pecked you can’t hear my voice now.

I become a Welcome Committee.

24th December 2019

I seeing a post made by Sirinitea (aka Saoirse) called something like “Welcome Committee applications.” I seeing it, and joking to myself “Hey, I should become a Welcome Committee,” and soon enough, I convinced myself that maybe I should be. I opened the post, and pondered to myself for minutes straight. To be honest, the decision of whether or not I should be a Welcome Committee was intimidating, but after a few minutes, I opened the applications, and there were questions like “How much do you use GDA a week?” and “How many average hours do you spend on GDA?” I soon enough finished the Welcome Committee applications and I waited. And I waited. I didn’t get a message when the due date for the Welcome Committee came, or a tiny bit after it, so I just assumed I wasn’t accepted in. Later, I decided to go onto GDA, maybe make a post, and I saw I got invited to a chat. I checked, it was a chat for the Welcome Committee. I went in, asked what was happening, and got to work on my Welcome Committee message. I failed many times because of spelling errors, grammatical errors, you name it, errors. Soon enough, it was completely fixed and refined, I sent a new member my Welcome Committee message (DJCobaltia left me with one person lol) and 1 day later, I got my title.

I beat B.

9th February 2020.

After I beat CraZy, I was looking for a next big project to try. I asked Maeday what he would suggest, and one of his suggestions were B. I went into B later the next day, and I practiced in practice mode. I being surprised by its difficulty and saying it would take “hella time to beat.” I practiced 24/7. In my hotel room at the time, at the hotel pool, at a restaurant, in the car and in bed.

Soon enough, I ed a copyable of the original level, and placed some start positions in the level. The bossfight ship + ufo part took a long time to learn, but after many attempts, I was able to get past it way more frequently than before. I played it more and more and less and less, on and off, and soon enough, I got a new highscore of 54%.

At the time, I wasn’t motivated enough, so I had a bit of a break, then got back into it. Then, I got a slightly bigger highscore of 56%.

I died at the transition between the middle of the level to the really hard and fast section (the other half). The reason was, I forgot that there was a ramp that you had to hold at with the Robot. I was annoyed, so I practiced less at the time, and focussed on other things, like building my new levels. Soon enough, I kind of forgot about B. Later, I was looking through my saved levels, and found the practice save file of B. I started practicing it again, and I had an extreme amount of attempts to go through while practicing the fast part. Two days later, I went back on the save file, and practiced it a lot. Later that day, I beat B, and I didn’t expect to beat it that quickly. At the time, I was very tired, and I felt myself going to sleep, so I wrote a short post for the completion of B.

.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•

TL;DR

I used to play with friends, got hooked on the game, beat many hard levels to improve, and now I have gotten better.

Ending.

That leads us to the present day, where I have many friends on GDA, and I have met people who also like Geometry Dash. Thank you guys for reading this all (if you did). It was an extreme amount of work, so I hope you enjoyed. That basically summarises all that has happened in my GD+GDA career(s).

Thank you!
