  • 🐻 In this video, I present the journey of Robert Topala, how his project Geometry Dash flopped at the beginning, but over a decade later, it became a multi-million dollar masterpiece.
    👀 Watch the entire video so you don't stand out from the rest!

    The voice in this video was generated by ElevenLabs, however, all other aspects of the video, including the script, editing, and thumbnail, were done by hand. I understand that a real voice would be better, but I don't have the facilities to record high-quality vocals. Thank you for your understanding.

    MISTAKES:
    1. Geometry Dash is not even close to a brand, despite being worth millions.
    2. There is actually one more difficulty - auto.
    3. The demon difficulty was added in 1.3, and was split into five later in the game. Before then, it was just unrated, auto, easy, normal, hard, harder and insane.
    4. World can play limited levels that were once featured levels - heck, you can even play Nine Circles in GD World, as it was featured on April 1st, 2020.
    5. It's called platformer mode, not free movement mode.
    6. Logodomy is based off a Terraria boss, not an Undertale boss.
