	'''Knots''' (formerly known as '''Rusto''') is an American player, level creator, and former in-game moderator. He is known for his distinctive modern style over the years. Many consider him one of the game's best creators. He was one of the first creators to ~~popularise~~ the 'modern art' style, which features 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]].
