== Previews ==
Prior to the release of Update 1.8, Topala said in a conversation at Touch Arcade Forums:

<blockquote>"I have a lot of ideas for update 1.9 that could be huge for the game, but more on that after I release 1.8... muahaha"
</blockquote>

On August 13, 2014, Topala posted his first Update 1.9 preview image, which shows five icons wearing different-colored headphones. This made way for much anticipation throughout the Geometry Dash community, resulting in theories involving soundtrack changes within a level and new game modes.

On August 26, 2014, Topala created another image depicting three-dimensional blocks, arousing much excitement among Geometry Dash players. He continued with the idea on August 28, posting a picture on Facebook about what could be built using the blocks.

On September 6, 2014, another image was posted through Topala's social media accounts featuring several different new [[Map Components|map components]] that would be used in future levels of Geometry Dash. This included two new icons, gear-like obstacles, and various different unknown types of blocks. The most prominent feature was a new thick blue portal that would likely result in another game mode being introduced.

On September 14, 2014, Topala posted yet another image onto his social media accounts. It has a blast and processor for [[Blast Processing]] by Waterflame'' ''and a book, an infinity symbol, and a "2" for''' '''[[Theory of Everything 2]]'' by'' ''DJ Nate, ''with the latter likely to be the demon level, following similar lines to [[Update 1.6]]''.''

On September 21, 2014, another image was posted through Facebook and Twitter. This image introduced a new custom music feature that would allow players to include music from Newgrounds in their custom levels. The image includes ten icons with headphones at the bottom. It was the first picture to indicate that the update was a work in progress. Upon the release of the image, Topala said that a sneak peek video for the next levels would be coming soon.

On September 28, 2014, Topala officially released the first Update 1.9 sneak peek video, which showed the first 21 seconds of a beta Blast Processing with less decorations. As seen in the video, the new blue portal changed the icon to an arrow-like object with physics similar to those seen in the mobile game Wave Wave.

On October 10, 2014, he released another sneak peek video featuring the second level, [[Theory of Everything 2]]. In this video, a new background and a new design of ship was used. Topala was also playing the game on his computer, indicating that he may have been using the future Steam version.

On October 18, 2014, Topala confirmed that the update would be released soon after he had fixed a minor issues in the backup and music systems. He also said he was working on the Steam version, and hinted on [[Update 2.0]], stating that he will continue improving the user account system devised in 1.9.

On November 4, 2014, Topala posted that the update was submitted for review and was waiting to be accepted.

On November 9, 2014, almost three months after Update 1.9 was first mentioned, Topala confirmed the release of 1.9 and stated that it would release to iOS and Android devices around the same time, and the Steam version would be released as soon as possible.

On November 13, 2014, Update 1.9 was released to the Windows Phone App Store.

On November 14, 2014, Update 1.91 was released to all devices. This was a minor update that fixed a few bugs.

On November 15, 2014 update 1.9 was released on Amazon devices.

On January 18, 2015 update 1.92 was released on Google Play. This included some new options and fixed few Custom Song bugs.

On February 12, 2015 update 1.93 was released on Google Play. This was a minor update that included some bugfixes.

|sequences = Cube, ship, ball, UFO
|followedby = [[Blast Processing]]
|portals = Gravity, size, dual, speed}}'''Hexagon Force''' is the sixteenth level in [[Geometry Dash]], being the sixth demon-rated map.

==Introduction==

On June 30, 2014, [[Robert Topala]] posted a sneak peek image on Twitter, reading ''Can You Guess the Next Song?'' The image also displayed pictures of a water drop, flame, and a hexagon. Topala referred to the popular video game music composer on YouTube, Waterflame, who had published the tune, Hexagon Force, on March 1, 2014.

==Description==

Hexagon Force begins with a brief cube scene, followed by a speed [[Portals|portal]] and rocket portal. Subsequently, the icon turns into a [[Forms|gravity ball]], and the player makes first contact with the new blocks having diagonal surfaces. Later on, Hexagon Force introduces the brand new copy portals, which "clones" the icon with reversed colors. With the copy portal in action, the player is then forced to maneuver using the rocket. Throughout the level, multiple copy portals are included, and the icon transforms into every object in the game. Hexagon Force is also the first official level to introduce the slow and normal speed [[portals]], which are shown along some rocket scenes. Hexagon Force also features every portal on 1.8 except Mirror Portals and the pink 3x speed portal.

==Rewards==
Completing the level without flaws in practice mode will unlock the dark grey primary color and the achievement ''Hexagonest''. If the player is capable of winning on normal mode, they would earn the achievement ''Hexagon Force!'' Flawlessly finishing the level would take under 1 minutes and 40 seconds.

== Secret Coin Location ==
* The first secret coin is located at the first ball sequence. After you flip and land into flat forms, upon encountering a short ramp, flip gravity to get the secret coin and touching a yellow jump pad. Alternatively, you can get the coin by tapping to go up onto the platform and immediately go down. However, you need to be close enough to get the coin.
* The second secret coin is located at the double speed ship sequence. After avoiding spikes and saws, and upon encountering a slope with an opening, immediately go through there to get it.
* The final secret coin is located at the final half-speed ship sequence. Upon finishing the level, you will encounter a large obstacle with an opening in it. Carefully fly through it to get the secret coin and in the same time, finishing the level.

==Clearing the dual sections==
The introduction of the copy portal brings yet another challenge to increasingly difficult levels. It is almost always overwhelming when first encountered, but like all things, can be beaten once properly understood. What is especially important to know is that ''practice makes perfect, ''and coincidentally, there is a practice mode which provides the opportunity to make it perfect, all down to experience. Take advantage of practice mode to correctly learn the maneuvers. Another incredibly useful tip is to ''focus on only one icon''. Trying to track two things at once is already harder than what the level really is. Determine at which points movements occur in order to efficiently control both icons.
==='''Cube section'''===
The dual cube section is divided into two segments. Three successive jumps from the first lower spikes with a pause, followed by another three jumps clears the first segment. When launched into the second segment, begin with two synchronized jumps on jump rings. Next, direct attention to the lower cube, and jump when aligned with the indicator arrow and once more from the jump ring. Immediately direct attention to the upper cube and do the same, keeping accurate to the position of the second arrow. This can be particularly difficult to time correctly, so remember to practice to improve understanding. ''Four jumps from the first arrow.'' This completes the cube sequence.
==='''First ship section'''===
Never try to focus on both ships. They are normally symmetrically aligned and therefore focusing on one will safely navigate the other. From the dual cube section, quickly hold down to send each ship towards the sides of the map before they are directed to the center, and remain there to avoid the spiked walls. Prepare to dodge a central obstacle, then shift to the center for a moment before pressing apart again, where you can rest as the ships travel along a safe divider through the middle, emerging to complete the sequence.
==='''Ball section'''===
As well as being fragile to manoeuvre, the balls are also shrunken. The way the game's mechanics work means the speed remains constant in both enlarged and shrunken states, making the shrunken state appear considerably faster in comparison. Due to this, it serves to know exactly what happens to both balls since there is not enough time to interpret the position of obstacles as they arrive. From the UFO sequence, the balls must pass over a small gap by switching sides just a moment after changing form. What happens next is the lower ball is launched into the air, and in that time the upper ball must flip twice over an oncoming saw before the launched ball lands. There is an indicator arrow which marks the first flip point before having to return immediately once clear of the saw. In a similar manner, the lower ball must flip over a saw while the upper ball is sent airborne. Take care after as both balls are swiftly launched by jump pads onto several synchronised jump rings very quickly. It can also occur the balls being sent there themselves prematurely from switching gravity, even having both balls share a single jump ring if the timing is slightly out. The sequence can still be cleared safely, approaching another ship sequence while still shrunken.

==Trivia==
* The icon unlocked when completing the level in Normal mode was inspired by [http://minecraft.wikia.com/wiki/Creepers Creepers] from the popular video game [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minecraft Minecraft].
* The achievement ''Hexagonest'' may be a reference to the game [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Hexagon Super Hexagon].
*This is the first level with the slow down portal. The second is [[Theory of Everything 2]].
* This level introduces object rotation, dual mode, and slopes.
* Completing the level takes 1:31.
* The level is one of the three levels not having a [[Secret Coins|secret coin]] in their cube segments. The other two are [[Cycles]] and [[Blast Processing]].

== Errors ==
* There was an error in the level located before the first dual section. It's on the platform after you jump off a ramp. The error is on the bottom right corner of the platform. However, this was fixed in [[Update 1.9|1.9]].
* There was a secret way in this level: During the last cube section, before going to the mini dual slow ship sequence, if a player jumps at the right time, they would fall through to the floor. However this was fixed.

Geometry Dash Lite

2015-01-31T23:04:32Z

108.210.9.184:

[[File:Lite.png|thumb|213x213px]]'''Geometry Dash Lite''' is the lite version of [[Geometry Dash]]. Its popularity greatly surpasses that of the full version being free to download. It currently includes seven levels from the full version, supports [[Everyplay]], lacks level editing and sharing features, and is ad-supported.

Since the content is limited, the total amount of unlockables is also greatly reduced. A maximum of 28 stars and 21 [[Secret Coins|secret coins]] are available, along with 38 [[Achievements|achievements]].

==Trivia==
*The original seven levels of Geometry Dash all progressed to the Lite version after several updates.
*Certain achievements have been changed to be possible within the Lite version, allowing several ships to be unlocked far more easily in comparison to the full version.
*A maximum of 20 secret coins will unlock all related achievements, while stars do not serve any purpose without any related achievements.
*The achievement "So close...", requiring the player to crash at 99% is impossible due to the design of the available levels physically not allowing such to happen. This may possibly be changed in the future to reflect the change in the full version.
*On January 15, 2015, (Prior to Update 2.0) Robert posts a YouTube video of someone playing [[Time Machine]], where he states that the level will be included in the 1.9 update of Geometry Dash Lite.
* Levels like Polargeist has a different rating most likely because there are much fewer levels
