Update 1.9 will be the ninth major update to Geometry Dash. It will be released to iOS, Android, and other mobile devices on October 20th sometime from 12 AM to 12 PM. It is considered to be one of the most effective and biggest update in the game's history. The level Blast Processing has been confirmed along with Theory of Everything 2.

Previews

Prior to the release of the 1.8 update, Topala said in a conversation at Touch Arcade Forums:

"I have a lot of ideas for update 1.9 that could be huge for the game, but more on that after I release 1.8... muahaha"

Topala posted his first sneak preview image on August 13, 2014, showing five icons wearing different-colored headphones. This made way for much anticipation through the Geometry Dash community, resulting in theories involving soundtrack changes within a level and new game modes.

On August 26, 2014, Topala created another image depicting three-dimensional blocks, arousing much excitement among Geometry Dash players. He continued with the idea on August 28, posting a picture on Facebook about what could be built using the blocks.

On September 6, 2014, another image was posted through Topala's social media accounts featuring several different new map components that would be used in future levels of Geometry Dash. This included two new icons, gear-like obstacles, and various different unknown types of blocks. The most prominent feature was a new thick blue portal that would likely result in another game mode being introduced. It was also released to the public that Topala would release the game to Steam, a popular internet-based social media platform.

On September 14, 2014, Topala released an image on Facebook. It has a blast and processor for Blast Processing by Waterflame and a book, an infinity symbol, and a "2" for Theory of Everything 2 by DJ Nate, with the latter likely to be the demon level, following similar lines to Update 1.6.

On September 21, 2014, another image was posted through Facebook and Twitter for the new "Custom Music" feature that will allow players to include music from Newgrounds in their custom levels. The image includes 10 icons with headphones at the bottom. It was the first picture to indicate that the update was work in progress. Upon the release of the image, Topala said that a sneak peek video for the next levels would be coming soon.

On September 28, 2014, Topala officially released the sneak peek video. The new, blue portal changed the icon to an arrow-like object similar to Wave Wave. It featured the level Blast Processing.

On October 10, 2014, he released another sneak peek video featuring the second level, Theory of Everything 2. Upon closer look, the level had a gradient background and a new design of ship was used. Topala was also playing the game on his computer, indicating that he may have been using the future Steam version.

On October 18, 2014, Topala confirmed that the update would be released soon after he had fixed a minor issues in the backup and music systems. He also said he was working on the Steam version, and hinted on the Update 2.0, stating that he will continue improving the user account system devised in 1.9.

Trivia

  • The new arrow form (called wave) was inspired by the mechanics of the mobile game Wave Wave. It is supposed the concept was brought to light by a popular player, Darnoc, who created a level (also named Wave Wave), mimicking its mechanics using condensed groups of gravity rings with the UFO, and the game wave wave out on iOS and android.
  • This is the first update that included a second version of a main level song: Theory of Everything 2
  • This is the second update that includes two new main levels. (1.6 with Electroman Adventures and Clubstep, and now 1.9 with Blast Processing and Theory of Everything 2)
