RicoLP is a skilled Austrian player and level creator in Geometry Dash, who is infamous for verifying Blade of Justice while also heavily nerfing it.[1] He was also the original host for the level Zodiac and currently has the long-term goal of beating every Extreme Demon in the game. He has recently returned to the game using 360 FPS and beat Zodiac as his new hardest Demon at the time, on June 10, 2021.[2] His hardest Demon before this was Crimson Planet, beaten on April 21, 2021.[3] He used framerates of 360 FPS for Crimson Planet and 288 FPS for The Rupture.

His current hardest Demon is Firework, beaten on April 2, 2022.[4] He had to rebeat the level because his Shadowplay recording corrupted the first time, thus making it the hardest level someone has beaten twice.

History

It is unknown when RicoLP began playing due to his old channel being deleted, but he beat numerous Insane to Extreme Demons during 2016 and 2017. After verifying Blade of Justice in July 2017, his next notable act was to begin a project named Zodiac, which was set to be the new hardest Demon. The first preview was released shortly after the verification of Blade of Justice. However, during a year-long break from the game, ownership of Zodiac was given to Bianox, who finished the level. He returned briefly in 2018 but found himself increasingly displeased with the GD community, prompting an even longer disappearance. He eventually came back in the Spring of 2020 and began streaming Digital Descent on Twitch until his YouTube channel was copyright struck and taken down, ending his interest in GD for a while. On November 7, 2020, he created a new YouTube channel and uploaded his completion of Digital Descent the day later. On February 9, 2021, he verified Valence by Platnuu. He has now undertaken the challenge of beating the entire Geometry Dash Demonlist. However, on July 20, 2021, RicoLP stated that he is quitting Geometry Dash once again with a YouTube Community post titled: "Goodbye and I wish you all good luck for whatever you want to do in the future c:" and a Discord DM with spaceuk stating why is quitting. [5]

Since this, he returned to Geometry Dash about a month later and has since beaten levels such as Timor, Dark Flare, The Reaper, Cybernetic Crescent, Kappa, Keres, Bloodlust, and has 96 on Cognition.[6]

Trivia

  • Like TrusTa with Yatagarasu, he was criticized for nerfing Blade of Justice to (what was at the time), Top 25 difficulty.
    • It recently fell into the Legacy List, which heavily contrasts with the fact that the level in its unnerfed state (if verified and rated) would have dominated the top spot on the list for years.
  • He and Luqualizer both threatened to quit the game if Buff This got rated; however, neither of them actually quit due to this.
  • He was the original host and creator of Zodiac, a level that was #1 on the Demonlist for an extended amount of time. However, during the process of making the mega-collaboration, Rico quit his position, so Bianox, a co-host at the time, took over and finished the level.
  • Sometime before 11:17 EST on May 20, 2020, his channel got terminated because his alternate channel got three copyright strikes.
  • He used to have a part in Edge of the Blade, but it was replaced with a part by Metalface221.
