Deadlocked
Template:ReleasedTemplate:Infobox level Deadlocked is the twentieth official level of Geometry Dash and the third level to be rated Demon. It can be unlocked by collecting 30 secret coins and is the first level to have a reward of more than 14 stars, with 15 stars as a reward.
Description
Deadlocked shows a variety of new map components. Most notable are the green rings which gradually revolve the character's gravity and add momentum. This is the equivalent of hitting the blue and yellow jump ring at the same time or hitting a yellow ring in a blue or yellow gravity portal. It also showcased the teleportation portals, in which you enter a blue teleportation portal you exit through an orange teleportation portal.
Secret Coins
- The first secret coin is unique compared to others, as it requires a key before it can be accessed. In the first ship, a key is placed high up above the moving blocks, successfully retrieving it opens and area in the fourth cube which allows the play to grab the coin. Failure to retrieve the key will keep this passage blocked and the player will be forced to take an alternate route.
- The second secret coin appears during the second Robot sequence. There will be a two-block wide pillar sticking out from the ground. Instead of flying to the top of the pillar, you must drop down and jump shortly after to collect the coin. To return to the normal path, you must jump on top of a disappearing block.
- The final secret coin appears during the second UFO sequence, where monsters are shooting lasers at you. After the first laser is fired, try to get close to the top. There will be a saw blade, and above it is the secret coin. Try to get down quickly as there will be another laser fired shortly after.
