93.55.185.104: /* Icons */

[[File:Cino.png|thumb|250px|Collection of icons]]The '''Icon Kit''' is a feature for cosmetically modifying the player's [[Forms|form]] in [[Geometry Dash]]. Although there is no physical difference to gameplay, the player can select from a variety of visually appealing options, including icons for the cube, ship, ball and UFO all with their own unique icons. Colours can also be applied to make unique creations consisting of a primary and secondary colour. However, the two chosen colours remain consistent between all forms, disallowing multiple colour schemes.

By completing [[Achievements]], more colours and icons can be obtained.

Objects

93.55.185.104: /* Pads and circles */ Not circles.

[[File:Baseafterbasegame.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Yellow pads in [[Base After Base]].]]

'''Map Components''' are what the player has to navigate in order to make it through the level. There are a number of kinds, some which are used as methods of travel while others are intended to kill the player. The layout of these make every level unique and of varying difficulty.

==Blocks==
Blocks and other surfaces are the most common components and construct the basis of a level. There are many different shapes and sizes. Just about all can be jumped upon and serve as platforms. However, colliding horizontally with a block will kill the player. Diagonal slanted blocks were introduced as of v1.8.

==Hazards==
Hazards usually introduce difficulty into each level. They will often kill players if touched in any way. Through the levels in Geometry Dash, hazards are introduced in several different forms.
===Spikes===

Spikes are the most frequently occurring and are often jumped over. These obstacles often appear with varying appearance, and can be invisible or transparent. They can also differ in size. Three spikes are sometimes placed in a group to escalate the level of difficulty. They are commonly seen in [[Time Machine]], which includes the most three-spikes out of any official level. Spikes can also be different sizes or widths. The color of some of these obstacles can also be changed using the C-OBJ option in level settings from [[Level Editor]].
===Sawblades===

Sawblades, which are first encountered in [[Clutterfunk]], are typically larger than spikes. They automatically rotate in place, and can be seen in several different forms as well. Transparent sawblades can sometimes be seen with dark backgrounds, commonly used in [[Electroman Adventures]]. Each variation has three sizes. The [[Update 1.9|1.9 update]] introduced gear-like sawblades.
===Thorns===
Thorns are one of the most common hazards in Geometry Dash. They are generally long, black obstacles that are placed between columns of blocks. In official levels, they make appearances throughout the game. The [[Update 1.8|1.8 update]] introduced diagonal thorns in either direction.

==Pads and rings==
Pads and rings influence the direction of travel. Pads only need to be touched to activate their effect, while rings need to be tapped as the player passes over for them to function. There are three variants identical to each.
*Yellow initiates a jump larger than normal, introduced in [[Back on Track]].
*Purple initiates a jump smaller than normal, formally introduced in [[Theory of Everything]].(Also found while getting the last coin in Can't Let Go).
*Blue changes the direction of gravity, formally introduced in [[xStep]].(Also found when getting the first coin in Back On Track. Also found while getting the third coin in Polargeist).
Although these components are often part of completing a level, they can be positioned in such a way that redirects the player into a hazard, needing to be avoided in such instances.

==Portals==
''For the complete article, see '''[[Portals]]'''.''

Portals can modify the way the icon interacts with the level, and can force the cube to assume another form, such as the rocket, gravity ball, or UFO. They can also change its speed, size, or mirror the screen. The [[Update 1.8|1.8 update]] introduced portals which created a copy of the player. These objects are often expertly placed in correlation with the background soundtrack. On most occasions, the background and ground color also change with the icon.

==Cosmetics and effects==
A number of components are purely cosmetic, or may have effects applied to them. The music can be connected to background posts which pulse to the beat. Others may be used as markers to identify routes or hazards. Physical objects can cycle through colours and complete visibility, which may also be distracting to gameplay. In contrast, what may look like physical objects can also be background objects, which may again fool the player.

==Background and transition==
The background can change colour and sometimes its pattern as a way to create a more vibrant gameplay experience. Other map components can enter and leave the screen, not physically affecting anything, as further visual enhancement, but may reduce the amount of time the player has to react to their entry.

Update 1.9

[[File:Geometry Dash Update 1.90 Sneak Peek|thumb|right|335 px|Sneak Peek for 1.9]]
The '''1.9 Update''' is a future update to [[Geometry Dash]]. It will be out for the Android, Windows Phone, Amazon Devices, and iOS. This update will come out in early October. It will also release [[Blast Processing]] and likely Eternity.

Prior to the release of the [[Update 1.8|1.8 update]], [[Robert 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>

== Previews ==
On August 13, 2014, Topala posted his first sneak preview image, showing five icons wearing different-colored headphones. It was revealed in a future hint image that it represented the custom music option.

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. It was also released to the public that Topala would release the game to Steam, a popular internet-based social media platform.

On September 14, 2014, RobTop released an image on Facebook. It shows a blast, a processor, a book, an infinity symbol, and '2'. An educated guess has been given that the two next songs could possibly be '''''Blast Processing''''' by '''Waterflame''' and '''''Eternity '''''by '''DJVI''', with the number 2 indicating the addition of two levels, one of which hinted to be a Demon level, following similar lines to [[Update 1.6]]. Others suggest that the last three icons mean that the second level will be '''''Theory of Everything 2''''' by '''DJ Nate.'''

On September 21, 2014, another image was posted through Facebook and Twitter for the new "Custom Music" feature that will allow players to include music from Newgrounds in their custom levels. The image includes 10 icons with headphones at the bottom. It was the first picture to indicate that the update was "coming soon" rather than "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 sneak peek video. The new, blue [[Portals|portal]] changed the icon to a triangular ball-like object. It featured the level [[Blast Processing]].

== Trivia ==
* Before the new mode, a level with similar mechanics (or almost the same) was published by '''Darnoc'''.The level name is ''Wave Wave ''and it includes an UFO and the screen is full of gravity rings,that the player taps to change gravity to avoid the spiked walls.Rated Insane.
