Editing Update 1.8

[[File:HexagonForce.png|thumb|260px|New level, Hexagon Force]]'''Update 1.8''' is an update in ''[[Geometry Dash]]'' that was released on August 7, 2014. It primarily added [[Hexagon Force]], dual portals, and introduced slope ground objects.

== Introductions ==
The most noticeable introduction into the full version was the addition of Hexagon Force, which was seen in the sneak peek of the update. This level marked the first appearance of the sloped surfaces, which allowed the icon to travel at different angles. Within Hexagon Force were the brand-new dual portals, which made the revolutionary dual character game mode. This mode required players to control multiple icons at once.

Outside of the new level, the 1.8 update introduced four new icons and several other colors. This included the achievements given for tapping the icons on the home screen. New kinds of spikes and decorations could also be added using [[Level Editor|level editor]], while users could change the background theme from squares to hexagons or circles. More blocks were also added, as shown in the sneak peek. In level editor, creators can also add a character guide line showing the path of the character. It could also be made so that two players could play on the same screen, with both playing on different halves.

In ''[[Geometry Dash Lite]]'', the level [[Jumper]] was introduced for the first time. It was also considered one of the easier insane levels in the full version, and became the second level in the free version to have an insane difficulty. In [[Update 1.9]], the difficulty of Jumper was changed to harder, and [[Can't Let Go]] was changed to hard.

== Trivia ==
* In the level editor, the Dual Portal appears without a line on the triangle, but if you play the level , Dual Portal appears normal, like all the other portals (aside from speed portals).
