'''saRy''' is a retired South Korean player, level creator, and hacker who suddenly disappeared at the start of [[Update 2.0]]. He is well known for creating one of the first mega-collaboration levels, Collaboration.

==History==
During the period from [[Update 1.3|Updates 1.3]] to [[Update 1.4|1.4]], saRy began to stand out in the game by appearing in the top positions, with about 4,000 stars and 130 completed Demons at the time. He went on to outperform other South Korean players featured at the time, such as [[Cyclic]] and SuperSNSD (both currently active). He also played an important role in the South Korean community, as he was the administrator of the official forum channel 'GMDW' (Geometry Dash World).

At the end of [[Update 1.7]], saRy achieved more than 10,000 stars, about 310 Demons, had completed all official levels (from Stereo Madness to Electrodynamix), and collected 99 secret coins.

As for levels, he had published two; one of them was an automatic version of a level called 'DemoNov' ([[Update 1.6|1.6]]) and the other, more recognised, called Hate War Fix Ver ([[Update 1.5|1.5]]), a level with very little decoration yet difficult gameplay.

[[Update 1.8]] had left endless possibilities, and SaRy took advantage of this to make one of the earliest mega-collaborations in the history of [[Geometry Dash]]. Together with his friends from GW ([[Dorabae]], Ark, Xstep, Jax, Lenov, and Xnail/RyooN), they created Collaboration. It was a significant achievement at the time, as it paved the way for the major trend of mega-collaborations seen today.

However, what is widely considered saRy's best work came a short time later. Together with [[Neptune]], the duo decided to create [[Red World]], a level considered 'impossible' in the update in which it was created, mainly due to having ship sequences with narrow areas and a 'swing-copter' made from the dual-ball, which required extreme precision to pass. The level also features the first known use of the swing-copter game-mode.

saRy dropped down the leaderboards during [[Update 1.9]] due to his inactivity in the game, and when Update 2.0 came out, he changed his icons and made a post that said 'sometimes', which surprised people because they thought he had returned. No one has heard anything from him ever since.

===Hacks===
There are several reasons why people claim that saRy was a hacker. Notable reasons are the following: 

*'''Record on [[Silent Club]] (70%):''' It is thought to be impossible for a player in his era to reach a high percentage in this level, especially in the short time he spent on it. This is especially important when taking into account that the level has a cube sequence in which the player has to activate blue orbs to quickly remain within a two-block gap, something modern players would not become consistent at for many years.
*'''Verification of Red World:''' Because the level was incredibly difficult to complete, it is unlikely that saRy could have done it before Update 1.9 came out.
*'''Hate War Original Version:''' The original version of Hate War had a physically impossible ball part. Later on, saRy deleted it and made a fixed version.

==Levels==
;Unrated levels
*Auto DemoNov - An auto version of DemoNov by Lenov.
*hate WAR fix ver - A fixed version of hate WAR. It is his first level ever created.

;Hard Demon levels
*Collaboration (Featured) - One of the first known collaboration levels in Geometry Dash. It was built and verified by saRy, together with Jax, [[Dorabae]], Ark, Xnail, and many more creators. It is a common misconception that the level was the first mega-collaboration (a collaboration between six players or more).

;Extreme Demon levels
*[[Red World]] (Star-rated) - A collaboration with Neptune. It had a bug at 2%, making the level completely impossible to finish from Update 1.9 until [[Update 2.1]], when it was fixed. It is also the very first level to feature a swing-copter game-mode.

;Deleted levels
*hate WAR - A difficult level saRy created around Update 1.7. The level was deleted and reuploaded because the 80% ball part was impossible. A Hate War remake was verified and published by [[Stormfly]].

==Trivia==
*saRy was ranked #1 on the Global Leaderboard for a long time (see '''''Gallery'''''), rarely swapping with earlier players such as LunarSimg, who quit in early Update 2.0 but has come back since; 3XotiC, a hacker who was later rumored to have died in real life; zNymo98, who is still somewhat active but has lost his stats during Update 2.0 and is now only playing for fun; and [[Cyclic]], a skilled player, creator, and hacker who created the near-impossible level [[Sonic Wave]], which went into the [[Demonlist (Pointercrate)|Demonlist]].
*Despite being extremely likely, it is not entirely confirmed whether or not saRy was a hacker.
*On his Geometry Dash profile, saRy has a message that says 'sometimes'. It is speculated that this means he sometimes plays the game.
*Many people assume that the level Collaboration is the first-ever mega-collaboration, but this is confirmed to be untrue. The first mega-collaboration for modern standards is Velocissimo by DaddePro and more; however, Time of Begin by Tutti, Blueland (also known as BEkID1442), Pailyn and blackP2Sfull could also be considered the first due to being released earlier.
*Optic Sunflow created two challenge levels for saRy, the first being Sary mustnt clear it, and SARY NEVER CLEAR being the second. Both were created back in Update 1.6. The latter level was regarded as impossible, and it was later [[SARY NEVER CLEAR|nerfed and remastered]] by KugelBlitZ and a team of creators, before the original was verified by GlowGMD.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hpo77uVq75M</ref>
*For some time, it was believed saRy had at least six unknown rated levels. It was later proven false as it was discovered to be an impersonator who briefly changed their username and icons to match saRy's for unknown reasons.
*saRy was banned from the in-game leaderboard because many players within the community accused him of hacking.
