'''Update 1.8''' was the eighth major update to [[Geometry Dash]] released on 8 August 2014 for Android and iOS.


== Introductions ==
==Description==
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 two icons at once.
Update 1.8 introduced a sixteenth level, [[Hexagon Force]], featuring a new dual portal along with slope blocks and related decorations. The [[Icon Kit]] received 8 new icons and 2 new colours. The update also included a variety of [[Level Editor|level editor]] additions and improvements, chief among them the ability to playtest levels in-editor rather than standard gameplay testing.


Outside of the new level, the 1.8 update introduced four new [[Icon Kit|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 the 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.
