===Level IDs=== 
*As of 5 October 2026, the level ID 150000000 has been surpassed, meaning there have been more than 150 million levels uploaded to the server.
**Most of these levels have been deleted for various reasons, including user requests, moderator requests, or automatic server deletion.
*The first ever level confirmed to exist is ''Level 1'' by Zhenmuron (RobTop), with an ID of 91. This level was only on the game's beta server, and was deleted before the game's release.
**[[Ultimate Destruction]] (misspelled ''Ultiate Destruction'') by RobTop potentially had a lower ID. In the [[Geometry Dash]] teaser trailer, the level page appears with the number 3 at the bottom, which may be the level's ID. However, it has not been confirmed.
*The first-ever non-beta level is ''Jump Frenzy'' by Zhen (RobTop) with an ID of 120. It was deleted a long time ago.
*The levels with IDs 121-127 are completely unknown and were possibly test levels that were deleted before the game's release.
*The oldest level still available on the servers and the oldest known level to be created by someone other than RobTop is ''1st level'' by real storm with an ID of 128. It is not star-rated and has a Hard difficulty rating.
*The third custom level was ''Easy peasy'' by Himmat, with an ID of 129. This level was deleted a long time ago, and its contents are unknown.
*RobTop uploaded the fourth custom level, ''Spike Spike'', with an ID of 130. However, this level was removed towards the end of Update 2.0 during a hacker attack.
*The oldest star-rated level is ''chill out'' by [[Darnoc|TheRealDarnoc]], with an ID of 146.
*The oldest platformer level is ''second'' by SomeRandmGuy8, with an ID of 97454486. It is currently unlisted.

===User level ratings=== 
*A rated level can have its rating removed for various reasons. As of 24 August 2026, this has happened to 704 known levels.
**Common reasons for a level losing its rating include: being verified illegitimately (such as using hacks or a secret way), being entirely copied from another level, being updated into something unrateworthy (such as being made into an empty level or immensely buffing the difficulty), and containing imagery and text that is offensive or inappropriate.
**There are also many instances of levels that were later rated again after having their rating removed.
**Only two known levels, ''Bounce'' by Toomis and ''Urban Street'' by Moonnix, were rated, lost their rating, were rated again, and lost their rating again.
*RobTop can change a level's difficulty or feature status after being rated.
*At the beginning of Update 2.1, even though the Demon rating categories were available to select, all of the Demon levels were automatically rated Hard Demon at first. 
**It was because the levels did not have enough votes to change their ratings.
*In Geometry Dash World, before the featured tab was changed, every level after #141 (WaterFall) was an NA-rated level spammed by RobTop, most being both uncommentable and unplayable. However, a couple were still playable, with a couple hundred downloads each.
*The XL length was originally named 'Extra-Long'. Update 2.0 introduced this renaming, along with a previously missing filter for searching XL levels.
*The difficulty rating icons are based on the Newgrounds emoticons.
*There have been several cases of levels' star counts not matching their difficulty faces. Currently, this is true for two levels, ''Luster'' by eopc, rated Easy 9[[File:StarA.png|x15px]], and ''Smetana'' by R4nz0r, rated Normal 9[[File:StarA.png|x15px]]. These mismatches both occurred as a side effect of being downgraded from Demon to Insane.
**In the older updates of the game, star counts below 10[[File:StarA.png|x15px]] were not locked to specific difficulty faces, and the difficulty faces could still be changed by player votes despite the levels being rated.
**The level ''Twinkle'' by Hiroquet was originally rated Demon 38[[File:StarA.png|x15px]], before its star count was lowered to 10. This happened because RobTop mixed up the level's star count with its feature score.
**In May 2014, there were briefly nine levels rated Demon 127[[File:StarA.png|x15px]]. These levels were ''korv'' by HMANN, and ''korv2'', ''wksld2'', ''eoifiojewfiojweijofe'', ''ewiofkopwefkopwekopf'', ''really hard'', ''ROBTOP FIX YOUR PHP'', ''robtop fix server'', and ''eoijfioejwfiojewiofi'' by Player. A hacker accessed the game's .php files and could rate any level with any star count. The nine levels were quickly deleted, and the exploit was patched.
**In August 2016, ''ReTry'' by Preztiyu, a Hard 4[[File:StarA.png|x15px]] level, briefly displayed as Demon 4[[File:StarA.png|x15px]] due to a hacker attack on the level.
*There were previously 15 levels that had feature rings but did not give stars. One of these levels, ''The First'' by Clatchet, was deleted sometime in 2020. The other 14 had their feature rings removed in December 2025.
*Usually, having verified coins is a perk only rated levels get, but there is one level named ''Dark Angel'' by the user Rono, which has verified coins but is not rated. It is unknown how this occurred.
**There was previously another level with this quirk, ''Hype Blaster'' by iIFrostIi. This level was rated, unrated due to a bug, and then rated again some time later. While it was unrated, it still had verified coins.
*There is one rated level, ''Small space'' by thearmyants, that gives stars despite being a platformer level. While it appears to grant moons upon completion, reloading the save data converts them to stars.
*When a player opened the comment section of a level, before Update 2.0, there was a button next to the creator's username labelled 'More'. Clicking this button lets the player view a list of the creator's levels. RobTop removed this feature in Update 2.0 because it encouraged players to create registered user accounts.

===User level names===
*RobTop can change the names of uploaded levels. This is usually done to remove inappropriate or offensive words from level names that would otherwise be rate-worthy.
*When inputting a name for a user level on mobile, some vulgar swears (with some exclusions) used to be replaced with a hyphen. 
**Since the hyphen character cannot be typed into the search bar, user levels such as [[-sirius-]] that have a hyphen in their name cannot be searched by name and instead need to be searched through other means. This is why, in current versions of the game, swear words are entirely removed instead of being replaced.
**All rated levels that included hyphens in their name had them removed when Update 2.0 was released. However, players could still type hyphens in their level names for some time. This is why every currently rated level with hyphens is from Update 2.0.
*There are three rated levels with un-typeable characters other than hyphens: ''1. Beggining of time'' and ''2. PolarDream'' by XDream, which contain full stops, and ''GeoMerry Xmas�'' by TiTi26, which contains an unrenderable character.

===Bugs===
*Sometimes, when uploading a level, the message would say, 'Upload failed. Please try again later.', even with an internet connection. The reason is unknown, and the only way to bypass it is to make a copy of the level.
*There is a bug that sometimes occurs where viewing a level would show that the level requires a password, but it lets the player copy it for free.
*The filters for searching for levels with a Legendary or Mythic rating were bugged, and sent the server the wrong filter (asks for Mythics with the Legendary filter and vice versa). It was later actually fixed server-side so that the filters provide the intended levels (the server provides Legendary levels when asked for Mythics, and vice versa).
*Rated Auto levels will appear when searching for rated Easy levels.
*Newly-rated Demon levels will appear when searching for rated Hard levels. They get removed from the Hard filter once they have enough votes to get their specific Demon difficulty.
*The levels Grief by Moffe and GREIF by wdlucas were made unsearchable by name following the verification of [[GRIEF]] by [[Doggie]] on 5 October 2026, as any attempt to search 'grief' or 'greif' will instead redirect to GRIEF by [[icedcave]].

===Other===
*Unrated levels will never have an Auto or Demon difficulty face.
*Mana orbs are a currency that is gained not just for completing a level but for making progress. The player gets 80% of mana orbs for making progress and 20% for completing a level. Multiply the percentage by 80% of the orbs, then round to the nearest whole number.
**For example, getting 54% in a Demon (500 orbs) means that 400 orbs are earned through progress. 54% of 400 orbs is 216.
**A bug causes the game to give one less orb if the player achieves 53% or 59% on a level. It is due to the inaccurate way that computers process decimal numbers.
*Many levels are unplayable due to the level's levelString being deleted by RobTop. A notable example is ''destiny of death'' by StarBombKR, which was previously rated Demon but lost its rating due to a secret way.
*Five rated levels do not appear when searching with the star filter: ''Magnetar'', ''New N3on'', and ''Sky'' by SWEETBONANZA, ''Everlasting'' by Joath156, and ''Enchanted'' by JeruShimu.
*Ten unrated levels appear when searching with the star filter: ''Bloodbath noclip'', ''Devil Vortex noclip'', ''black blizzard nocli'', ''AA noclip'', ''cataclysm noclip'', ''Death Corridor nocli'', ''Killbot noclip'', and ''Buff This noclip'' by CoolManGame2, ''Critical Zone'' by SWEETBONANZA, and ''Smash'' by LucaGD12. CoolManGame2's levels appear on the filter due to a hacker attack, while the other two levels were previously rated but had their rating removed; they still appear on the filter for unknown reasons.
