| ==User coins== | | ==User coins== |
| GLORIOUS FORTRESS contains three user coins.
| |
| *The first coin is located at 11%. To get it, the player must hold at the edge of the platform to make the jump over the spikes (but not so close as to accidentally hit the black orb).
| |
| *The second coin is located at 51%. To get it, the player has to take an alternate path inside of the structure, which is marked by cracks in the wall. Note that you must avoid the blue orb after this section or you will die.
| |
| *The third coin is located at 85%. To get it, the player has to jump at the edge of the platform. This puts them onto the above platform with the coin.

| *After completing a series of videos documenting the creation process of GLORIOUS FORTRESS, JamAttack revealed that he had spent upwards of 500 hours working on the level.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYAdeDAqSgc</ref>
| |
| *GLORIOUS FORTRESS was a [[Weekly Demon]], making it possible to collect rewards from it three times.
| |
| *GLORIOUS FORTRESS was nominated for Best Easy Demon in the [[The Geometry Dash Awards|GD Awards 2023]]. It went on to place third with 13,905 votes, or 18.51% of the total.

| |
| *If the player falls up at 5%, they enter a nether portal that instantly kills them.
| |
| *At 11%, a Wubbaduck is present in a small pond. If the player falls into the pond, text is visible which states "I was too lazy to decorate down here".
| |
| *If the player skips the pink pad at 12% and falls down, a Nyan cat is visible with the name "Tynce," as well as a gravestone reading "KORLORE lies here (apparently)".
| |
| *If the player goes above the dual portal at 26%, they enter a secret area which features insane wave spam akin to [[Slaughterhouse]], although there are D-blocks meaning you can just slide under the spikes, after which there is a spike wall.
| |
| **4 of the spikes near the top of the wall have no hitboxes. If the player goes through this hole, they are teleported above the level with text reading "I'm really sorry, galactic wanted me to add a RIP [[Michigun]] art, but I don't feel comfortable being payed [sic] to add something like that I tried to contact you I couldn't find a way I'm sorry you can have this bird". Afterwards, there is an invisible impassable spike wall.
| |
| *At 43%, it is possible to skip the black orb leading to the spider portal by hitting the blue orb late and hitting the edge of the pink pad. Doing so reveals a smiley.
| |
| *At 57% it is possible to squeeze between the sawblades and slopes right before the yellow gravity portal. Doing so reveals the text "skill solution."
| |
| *If the player is on low detail mode, the fortress in the final part is instead replaced with text reading "awesome castle".
| |
| **If on ULDM, the text instead reads "casle. [sic]".
