GuitarHeroStyles has conquered challenges such as [[Yatagarasu]], [[Sonic Wave]] and [[Bloodlust]], the latter of which was completed in June 2023. GuitarHeroStyles contributed to collaborations like [[The Ultimate Phase]] and verified community-renowned levels such as [[PanaSonic]] and ElectroLux.
'''Manix648''' (also known simply as '''Manix''') is a popular and skilled Canadian/Romanian ''Geometry Dash'' player, level creator and former moderator. Like [[LazerBlitz]], he is known for making difficult levels such as Final Redux and [[Fusion]]. He is also famous for being part of several Extreme Demon collaborations, such as [[Bloodlust]], [[Blade of Justice]], [[Fusion Z]], Auditory Breaker and [[Infernal Abyss]] (the latter originally created by [[Ggb0y]] but never finished). He also created five RobTop-styled levels on the 'GMDDEEPSPACE' account, a collaboration account with [[Subwoofer]], [[Platnuu]] and FreeedTheDolfin.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6R6y2Z-Q_DY</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJRf-5tOdH0</ref>


== Conflicts ==
In October 2021, GuitarHeroStyles faced widespread backlash following allegations of misconduct within the ''Geometry Dash'' community. On 24 October 2021, members of the [[Geometry Dash Demonlist|Demonlist]] team publicly shared accusations of inappropriate behaviour, including claims of emotional and sexual abuse from a former partner. A social media campaign under the hashtag #advyout trended globally, leading to severed partnerships with brands like elgato and Teespring.
*'''Fusion Z Drama''' - When Manix648 quit ''Geometry Dash'', he took [[Fusion Z]] with him and canceled the level. However, [[knobbelboy]] went against his wishes to let the level die and claimed ownership of the level, giving it to Geomania to verify instead. In the end, Manix648 and knobbelboy agreed; the parts of ten players would be deleted, and unknown players would replace them.


== Levels ==
GuitarHeroStyles denied the allegations but lost in-game moderator status on 24 October 2021 and was permanently removed from the Demonlist two days later. Twitch banned GuitarHeroStyles' channel on 20 April 2022, although his YouTube channel remained active with slowed growth.

==== Early career (2011–2015) ====
GuitarHeroStyles joined YouTube on 9 October 2011, initially creating content for ''Guitar Hero'', including competing in DreamHack tournaments from 2015 to 2023. On 17 March 2014, GuitarHeroStyles uploaded the first ''Geometry Dash''-related video, showcasing a completion of the main level Theory of Everything. Over the following year, GuitarHeroStyles transitioned to user-created levels, establishing a format of practice-mode runs before completing them in normal mode.
 
==== Breakthrough and Extreme Demons (2016–2017) ====
In July 2015, GuitarHeroStyles announced efforts to beat [[8o]], an Extreme Demon that took eight months to conquer. After a devastating 98% fail, GuitarHeroStyles finally completed the level on 12 March 2016. Throughout 2016, GuitarHeroStyles completed iconic challenges, including both versions of [[Cataclysm]], [[Bloodbath]] (becoming the 19th victor), [[The Ultimate Phase]], and [[Duelo Maestro]], collaborating with [[SoulsTRK]].
 
The release of ''Geometry Dash'' 2.1 in 2017 marked a prolific era. On 19 October 2017, GuitarHeroStyles completed [[Blade of Justice]] after over 17,500 attempts and two fails at 91% and 94%, declaring it 'Mi mayor logro' (my greatest achievement). Later that year, on 15 November, GuitarHeroStyles became the second ''Geometry Dash'' YouTuber to reach 1 million subscribers, following RobTopGames.
 
==== Expansion and milestones (2018–2019) ====
GuitarHeroStyles verified collaborative projects like Pumped Up Kicks (2018) and [[PanaSonic]] (2019), while previewing its sequel, ElectroLux. On 17 January 2019, GuitarHeroStyles completed [[Phobos]] after over 7,300 attempts, fluking the final 23% after two years of practice. A 91% fail on [[God Eater]] (later renamed [[Astral Divinity]]) on 26 April 2019 became one of the most infamous moments in ''Geometry Dash'' history.
 
==== Moderator era and Top 1 triumphs (2020–2021) ====
Appointed as a ''Geometry Dash'' in-game moderator on 5 March 2020, GuitarHeroStyles verified ElectroLux on 13 February 2020 after near-completion fails at 93% and 97%. On 31 July 2020, GuitarHeroStyles completed [[Yatagarasu]] (15,318 attempts), moving up 32 spots on the [[Geometry Dash Demonlist|Demonlist]]. The following year, on 30 August 2021, GuitarHeroStyles triumphed over [[Sonic Wave]] (13,630 attempts), enduring three deaths above 90% (92%, 93% and 95%).
 
==== Recent achievements (2022–2024) ====
GuitarHeroStyles completed [[Bloodlust]] on 4 June 2023, solidifying it as the current hardest Demon. Subscriber milestones continued with 2 million on 25 September 2020 and 4 million on 7 December 2024. GuitarHeroStyles also completed the 'Apocalyptic Trilogy' ([[aftermath]], Cataclysm and Bloodbath) and set records like the fastest completion of [[Gunslinga Corridor]] (922 attempts).
 
==== Conflicting relationships ====
 
* On 8 November 2021, the description of the level [[Slaughterhouse]] was temporarily altered to link to an X (formerly Twitter) thread criticising GuitarHeroStyles. It occurred shortly after GuitarHeroStyles uploaded a showcase of the level. [[icedcave]], the creator of Slaughterhouse, privately requested the removal of the video and GuitarHeroStyles' departure from the community. GuitarHeroStyles blocked icedcave on YouTube and email in response.
* On 16 November 2023, GuitarHeroStyles issued a copyright strike against [[Zoink]]'s YouTube stream due to the unauthorised use of GuitarHeroStyles' likeness in the thumbnail. The action drew community criticism, with Zoink publicly mocking the dispute.


|-|Demon levels=
=== Other ventures ===
==== Medium Demon levels ====
GuitarHeroStyles expanded beyond ''Geometry Dash'' with secondary YouTube channels. On 11 March 2016, GuitarHeroStyles launched a new channel called GuitarGames, dedicated to gameplay from titles such as ''Minecraft'' and ''Fortnite''. A third channel, GuitarGameplays, followed in 2019, featuring non-commentary playthroughs of indie and AAA games. In 2022, GuitarHeroStyles introduced GuitarShorts, a compilation of highlights from live streams.
* [[M A N I X]] (featured) - A collaboration with [[KrmaL]]. It is his second full-effect level. The gameplay was originally invisible, but he made it visible (with some nerfs) after RobTop refused to rate the invisible version (note that the invisible version got rated much later).
* Nano Rush (featured) - A fast-paced collaboration with [[LazerBlitz]].
* starShip Showdown (Epic, GMDDEEPSPACE) - The sixth 'Geometry Dash Deepspace' level.
* Tectonic Blitz (Epic)
* [[The Colossus]] (Epic) - The second level in the Universal Redemption Series. It is a boss-fight and art level that features an object-heavy background created by [[knobbelboy]].
* [[The Colossus II]] (Epic) - The sequel to The Colossus. It is the third level in the Universal Redemption Series.
* The demolisher (featured) - A collaboration with IronDofus. It is a ''Geometry Dash Meltdown''-styled level.
* The Valley of Souls (featured) - A collaboration with Findexi and [[Terron]].
* Volcanic Rush (featured) - A pixel art-themed level that got rated in two hours. It is dedicated to four creators.
* Voltage Blast (featured) - A collaboration with LazerBlitz. It is his first XL level ever created. It was verified by [[Surv]].


==== Hard Demon levels ====
GuitarHeroStyles maintained ties to ''Guitar Hero'', competing annually at DreamHack tournaments from 2015 to 2023.
* BreakthroughX (featured) - A remake of Breakthrough by Hinds, but with 2.0 effects and much tighter wave sections.
* [[Fusion]] (featured) - The first level in the Fusion Series. Some elements in the level (notably the UFO part) were inspired by [[TITANIUM CORE]] by KR0NOS.
* haunted factory (featured) - His oldest level.
* HindSight (featured) - A collaboration with LazerBlitz. It is based on Hinds' style.
* Purple Caverns (featured) - A collaboration that was rated initially Harder 7* but was buffed and is now a Demon. Manix has stated that this is because it bugged him that he had one non-Demon level.
* SHOWDOWN (starred) - The first rated level to use the song Showdown by xKore.
* [[SiriusX]] (featured) - A remake of [[-sirius-]] by [[FunnyGame]]. It was his entry for [[Viprin]]'s 6th Creator Contest. It is dedicated to FunnyGame and was verified by Toxic.
* Sky Party (featured) - A fan-made [[w:c:geometry-dash:Update 2.1|Update 2.1]]-inspired level.
* [[The Hydragaryu]] (Epic) - A remake of The Yatagarasu using 2.1 mechanics and decorations. It was made in order to fix all the drama caused by The Yatagarasu.
* [[The Yatagarasu]] (starred) - A boss-fight/art level. Due to copying art from other levels, this level received criticism quickly, and as a result, it was not featured.
* [[TOE III]] (Epic) - The third and non-official instalment in the Theory of Everything Series. It was his entry for Viprin's 8th Creator Contest.

* He deleted his YouTube channel on 13 October 2017.
* Following the 2021 allegations, the phrase 'Tienes 14? Activa cam' ('Are you 14? Turn on the camera') emerged as a community meme, referencing parody messages attributed to GuitarHeroStyles. The meme spread widely within the ''Geometry Dash'' forums and videos, notably amplified by creator pipepino.
** With this, he had also asked to let Fusion Z die.
* In early 2018, GuitarHeroStyles developed ''The Ascent'', a mobile platformer inspired by ''Geometry Dash''<nowiki/>'s gameplay, featuring self-designed levels and playable avatars based on friends.
* He is widely known for exceeding the object limit in many of his levels. RobTop does not disapprove of this, however.
* GuitarHeroStyles created the infamous 2.0 level Gotta Boss Fast, later moved to RobTop's TheShadowRealm account due to controversy.
* His style of levels is very similar to the one from LazerBlitz's levels.
* GuitarHeroStyles holds the fastest completion of CICADA3302 (844 attempts) and [[Gunslinga Corridor]] (922 attempts).
* His name possibly came from a music composer named ''Manix''.
* GuitarHeroStyles beat La Wea Retenida, a modified version of Retention, to bypass 144Hz bugs.
* He uses different styles in his levels (e.g. Blender, [[Ultra Drivers]], etc.) via inspiration.
* GuitarHeroStyles covered both eyes during [[A Bizarre Phantasm]]'s final section as a joke, using song notes as a guide.
* He later became a replacement for [[Cyclic]] in [[Riot]]'s mega-collaboration [[Yatagarasu]]. However, Manix was later removed and replaced by [[AbstractDark]].
* The level ElectroLux uses the password '130220', matching its verification date (13 February 2020).
* 'Manix' is also the name of a condom brand that was brought up multiple times in his Twitch streams.
* The channel name references Guitar Hero, a favourite game.
* Purple Caverns was originally rated Harder 7*, but one of Manix's friends buffed the level, and it was re-rated as a Demon because Manix was bothered that one of his levels was not Demon-rated.
* All of his levels are rated Demon difficulty.
* He has been accused of stealing several level designs of other creators, such as LazerBlitz.
* On 10 July 2019, he was unmodded due to inactivity.
* Manix is also a skilled sculptor, with a few original sculpting montage videos on his channel.
* He was referenced in a tweet by the Google Play Twitter account, which tweet featured a ''Geometry Dash''-themed Mother's Day card saying 'You ''Manix-ed'' the mom level.'<ref>https://x.com/GooglePlay/status/1391436141879046144</ref>
** This became an inside joke in the community because it made no sense.

Career

Geometry Dash

Early career (2011–2015)

On 17 March 2014, GuitarHeroStyles uploaded the first Geometry Dash-related video, showcasing a completion of the main level Theory of Everything.
