Editing LIMBO (section)

==Trivia==
*LIMBO previously had a password, 772002, which referred to MindCap's birthday, 7 July 2002.
*LIMBO was rated on 4 December 2022, receiving an Epic rating, and placed at #7 on the Demonlist on 1 January 2023, above poocubed and below [[Firework]].
**This addition pushed Calamity into the Extended List and Photovoltaic II into the Legacy List.
**Although LIMBO was placed in 2023, it was still the last level on the Demonlist to be placed in 2022 due to the difference in time zones in other places.
**LIMBO and Collab Level, two MindCap levels, were rated on the same day.
*LIMBO was ranked #2 in GDToday's '100 Greatest Levels of All Time' list.
*LIMBO was nominated for and achieved ''Best Demon Megacollab'' in the [[The Geometry Dash Awards|Geometry Dash 2022 Awards]].<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26bIEgoMR1s</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmO9xmLnPXc</ref>
*LIMBO was the hardest Epic-rated level before being surpassed by [[KOCMOC]].
*In Catholic theology, [[Wikipedia:Limbo|Limbo]] is the afterlife condition of those who die in original sin without being assigned to the Hell of the Damned. It is the first layer of the Nine Circles of Hell.
*LIMBO brought back some old creators such as Evasium, weoweoteo, and Surv.
*Several parts were replaced.
**[[EndLevel]] used to have the gameplay for what became Findexi's part.
**Vlacc used to have the gameplay for what became Jeyzor's part.
**Prism used to have the gameplay for what became xStep47's part.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rxss_mGUtMQ</ref>
**XLSpiral's decoration was replaced by SleyGD.
**GDSkele's part was replaced by KWMS.
**Toxic's part was replaced by para.
*Three players have a part to themselves: Pennutoh, Jeyzor and Vismuth.
*Xanii's reaction to beating the level, in which he repeatedly yelled the phrase 'It's blue!' (referring to the correct colour of the key at the end of the level), gained popularity across social media platforms, particularly TikTok.
*LIMBO was nicknamed 'Memory Titan' after one of MindCap's tweets garnered attention from the Twitter community. The tweet was about GDToday, one of the most-followed [[Geometry Dash]] news accounts on Twitter, and their potential reaction if BGram had died at 97% on the level, stating they would likely have dramatised the death with highfalutin vocabulary, as they usually do. MindCap's example was: 'BGram has fell victim to the ruthless 97 spikes at the end of the memory titan, LIMBO'.<ref>https://x.com/MindCap/status/1525926210898956289</ref> The term's usage is rarer nowadays.
*Pennutoh made a joke video titled 'How hard is LIMBO?'<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Xiv8cyy1qg&t=67s</ref> which shows the level's supposed end-screen.<ref>https://imgur.com/a/vTcyBer</ref> However, MindCap stated on Twitter that it will not be used.
*DienID created an official end screen for LIMBO, which is shown in the LIMBO full showcase video. Unfortunately, the host discontinued it due to the high number of groups used, which could cause performance issues. The end screen featured a giant vortex in the centre with the letters L, I, M, B, and O, and a key revolving around it. The key itself also rotated.
*The anti-cheat system in MindCap's part was installed after he showcased his decorated part on YouTube, which initially did not have it. The reason is that people commented that they could pause the game and watch the replay.
**A column of fake spikes appears in the fourth quadrant of MindCap's part. When the player reaches the column, they must hold as the spikes become a D-block, which the player must then hold. There is a spike below the player, so they cannot release, even if they attempt to pause the game. The block and spike follow the player until the end of the song, when the player can choose the key (through the method mentioned in this page's 'Gameplay' section above), where the spike fades away.
*Failing to obtain any key in MindCap's part will kill the player. If Auto-Retry is disabled, a flashing screen with the words 'PICK THE KEY COWARD' and 'DON'T LET IT WIN' can be seen. The message is implied to be directed to the player character, the reincarnated scientist (coward) who was killed by EAM-17 (it). MindCap revealed the Easter egg on 8 January 2023.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-bFXnSSy1k</ref>
*MindCap hired Vepium to make an official 'Isolation' remix.<ref>https://x.com/MindCap/status/1459599205044039681</ref>
*There was a 17-minute-long sequel to LIMBO called RETURN 0. It has since been cancelled, but MindCap stated it will be revived after he finishes ORBIT.
**A level made on the Worst GDPS (and later published to the official servers) named RETURN 420 exists as a joke remake inspired by it, which was a mega-collaboration hosted by Eidam and verified by BeetleSword.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyWaPc56UiQ</ref>
***A decoration and bugfix update would be later verified by ZygisDij.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSHIs1iXv64</ref>
*LIMBO has many remakes by other creators, like HERCULANEUM, Broken Roulette, Abyss Switch, BIMBO, and Isolation.
**[[Mulpan]] made a level inspired by LIMBO, consisting of everything being orbs.
*LIMBO was set to be reverified by BGram to be possible on [[Update 2.2]]. BGram had since lost the bet, and there has not been much said about the reverification process since then.<ref>https://x.com/bgramdash/status/1770898689956917368</ref><ref>https://x.com/bgramdash/status/1774862468738900450</ref>
*LIMBO today is one of the most popular levels in Geometry Dash, with the Full Level Showcase video garnering over 27 million views.
**The key memorisation section at 87% is the most recognisable part of the level, and has spawned many memes and references in other games, such as [[Wikipedia:Beat Saber|Beat Saber]].<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7Me-RYVneM</ref>
***MindCap stated that the part was made because he did not want to end the level with a triple spike or a straight-fly.
*Since it used eight keys, there are 40,320 possibilities of combinations, regardless of the shuffle method (flip, mirror, swap, rotation, triangle, trapezoid, and other mods), which used factorial; despite this, the level only used 128 of 40,320 possible combinations.
*Initially, upon [[Technical]] uploading his completion of LIMBO, YouTube's URL link-generating system unintentionally caused the link to contain a racial slur in all caps. Technical has since unlisted the original video and reuploaded it.<ref>https://x.com/TechnicalJL/status/1775574739580277018</ref>
*The movement of BRITNEY NO SCLEARS on 28 September 2026 pushed LIMBO into the Extended List of the Demonlist.
