Leaderboards are a feature of Geometry Dash, Geometry Dash Lite, and Geometry Dash World, being introduced in Update 1.3.

Description

Scores leaderboards were introduced in Update 1.3, and are accessed through the creator menu. Level leaderboards were introduced in Update 2.11 and are accessed through the trophy button on user level menus. A player must be logged in to be eligible to rank on leaderboards.

Scores leaderboards

Tabs at the top of the screen display four leaderboard categories, each ordering players in a ranked list relative to others based on their tally of specific collectibles.

• Top 100: Ranks the Top 100 players sorted by their total Stars, Moons, User Coins, or Demon Count. Leaderboard moderators must manually whitelist players before they can appear on this leaderboard (to prevent cheaters). A player can also be banned from this leaderboard by leaderboard moderators, removing them and disabling their rank. It can be viewed here.
• Friends: Displays the player alongside others on their Friends List, with the option to order the list by Stars, Moons, User Coins, or Demons.
• Global: Displays the player alongside other players based on their overall ranking, which can be ordered by Stars, Moons, User Coins, or Demons. A minimum of 100 stars is required to receive an initial rank. A player can also be banned from this leaderboard by leaderboard moderators, removing them and disabling their rank.
• Creators: Displays the Top 100 creators, ordered by number of creator points. 1 creator point is awarded for each created level that receives a star rating, with an additional point being granted for each created level that is featured, Epic, Legendary, or Mythic (higher ratings also give the creator point bonuses of all lower ratings, meaning a single Mythic level grants five creator points).

A player's rank in the Global category results in a specific coloured trophy being displayed alongside their rank in the upper left corner of their profile page. In the case of a player being banned from the Top 100 and Global categories, they may be unbanned upon further evaluation, restoring their rank with account of any stars obtained during the period they were banned.

On 3 April 2026, in tandem with the release of the official Geometry Dash website, the leaderboards' backend was updated to refresh live. Previously, RobTop needed to refresh the leaderboards manually.

Level leaderboards

Buttons on the right of the pop-up menu display leaderboard categories by which players of the current level are ordered in a ranked list relative to other players based on their % progress, followed by the number of collected user coins, and lastly their time of completion. Platformer levels instead use two separate leaderboards selected by buttons at the left of the pop-up menu, the first displaying ranks based on completion time (hh:mm:ss.ms), and the second based on points (this requires configuration by the level creator to assign in-level pick-ups to contribute towards this tally). The pop-up menu must be manually accessed for a level leaderboard submission to be made. Selecting the refresh button will update the leaderboard.

• Friends: Shows the player alongside other players on their Friends List who made submissions.
• Top: Shows the Top 200 overall ranked players who made submissions.
• Weekly: Shows the Top 200 overall ranked players within seven days who made submissions (refreshing every Monday 00:00 CET).
• Local: Applying only for platformer levels, shows the player's own submissions, which include each successful attempt and not just their highest ranking submission.

Trivia

• All players with the same number of stars as the logged-in player will be ranked below them, except for one randomly selected player who will be ranked above them. This results in slightly different rankings being presented to each player.
• The Top 100 category only shows 100 results of what is actually a Top 1,000 category of whitelisted players. A player who is not whitelisted can only achieve a maximum overall rank of 1001.
• Prior to Update 1.9, the Top 100 category was preceded by a Top 50 category.
• Prior to Update 2.0 and added on Update 1.6, there was a Weekly category that was ordered based on the number of stars obtained in one week, updated weekly. It was replaced by the Friends category.
• On 22 July 2017, the Top 100 and Global leaderboards were paused from being updated. The Top 100 leaderboard remained frozen until 21 May 2021, after an announcement was made by Viprin stating that the leaderboards would be updated hourly using a manually managed list of player account IDs. Two days later, the Global leaderboard updates were unpaused.
• The player sangchan was the first known player to be ranked #1 on the Top 100 leaderboard with 72 stars.
• The player Michigun was the next player to maintain rank #1 on the Top 100 leaderboard for an extended period of time, doing so over the course of many updates to the game. The player Shaggy23 was the first to surpass them on 21 April 2017, claiming rank #1 and triggering the first change in the top ranking after several years, during Update 2.1.
• The player NoctaFly was the first player to reach the star limit of 65,535 (this later being raised to 16,777,215).
• The player MrSpaghetti currently has the most stars of all players and ranks #1 on the Top 100 leaderboard.
• The player Hiroquet is the longest-serving player on the star leaderboards, having first entered the Top 50 on 1 January 2014.
• The level leaderboards of specific levels (i.e. some with an Extreme Demon difficulty) use player whitelists where moderators evaluated them to be potential targets of cheaters.
• Prior to Update 2.208, the red trophy was used for players with a minimum of 501 stars who had a global rank of 1001 or lower.
