'''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 diagonal blocks, which allowed the icon to travel in different directions. Within Hexagon Force were the brand-new copy portals, which made way for the revolutionary dual character game mode. This mode forced players to control multiple icons 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 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|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 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.

Playing in the editor works by pressing a play button, the player will then spawn at the last startpos and is controllable. He will also leave a trail behind him that shows his movement pattern that you can then use as a guide when building.

You can toggle on/off camera follow, and if you want the music to play in sync. There is also a new music play/pause button that will play the music and show a moving line that represents the position that matches the music. The music will always start to the left of the editor window, so you can quickly go through a level and sync it to music.
