Update 1.8
Update 1.8 is an update in Geometry Dash, released on August 7, 2014. It primarily added Hexagon Force, dual portals, and 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 two 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, 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.
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 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).
- In the first image, there is a slope on the left that was never added to the game.
- If you look at the end of the sneek peek, you can see that the dual section is shown differently to the actual level.
