'''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, the brand new "Dual Mode" portals are seen and used for the first time. This mode required players to control two characters 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 secret [[achievements]] given for tapping the icons on the home screen. New kinds of black thorns, saw blades and decorations could also be added using the [[Level Editor|level editor]], as well as being able to use a new "Hexagons" background and floor theme. More blocks were also added, as shown in the sneak peek. The Play-Test mode was also introduced, allowing creators to test the level's obstacles on the go without having to "Save and Play", making the character leave a guideline that served as a reference to where the character went through in the test. The "2 player mode" was also introduced in the editor, so 2 players could control each individual character itself during a Dual Mode segment, by tapping different sides of the game screen.

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.
;v1.81 (9 August 2014):
*Bugfixes / Tweaks


== Trivia ==
===Lite version===
* In the level editor, the dual portals appears without a line on the triangle, but if you play the level, the dual portals appears as normal, like all the others (aside from speed portals).
[[Geometry Dash Lite]] was updated to v1.8 on 12 August 2014 (iOS):
* In the first image, there is a slope on the left that was slightly modified before it was added to the game. In the game, it no longer has the vertical line splitting it into two. This vertical line however is still surprisingly seen in the invisible variant of the slope.
*New level "[[Jumper]]"!
* If you look at the end of the sneek peek, you can see that the dual section is shown differently to the actual level.
*New Achievements and rewards!
* This is the 6th update to not add a brand new form.
*Bugfixes and tweaks.

*The ball form had its attributes modified such that an overhead collision with a surface when propelled by a jump pad or ring would no longer result in a crash and instead the ball would safely bump off.
