He is known for his distinctive modern styles used throughout the years. He is considered one of the best creators in the game by many. He was one of the first creators to popularize the 'modern art' style, which consists of detailed art with simplified designs, alongside kips and Jayuff. Knots also uses BGA (background animation) often in his levels. Particular renditions of the modern art style have become synonymous with Knots, often referred to as 'Knots style'. He built Geometry Dash levels on mobile until around the summer of 2021, when he started building on the Steam version of the game. He is a member of [[GeoStorm]]. | ||
Regarded as a very consistent creator by [[Viprin]] and many others, Knots held the longest Epic-rated streak of any creator in the game, with 27 Epic-rated levels in a row, ended by his Legendary-rated level [[getHappier]]. Knots has been nominated three times for Best Modern Creator in the ''Geometry Dash 2.1 Awards'', the ''Geometry Dash 2020 Awards'', and the ''Geometry Dash 2021 Awards'', placing third twice before winning in 2021. | Regarded as a very consistent creator by [[Viprin]] and many others, Knots held the longest Epic-rated streak out of any creator in the game, with 27 Epic-rated levels in a row, ended by his Legendary-rated level [[getHappier]].
