The Geometry Dash Player Who Almost Died...

Geometry Dash is a simple game.. right? Well, in this video, I tell you the story of the Highest Heartrates in Geometry Dash, and how they effect it's players, like WildPoint, the player who reached a terrifying 215 beats per minute playing a Geometry Dash Level called Future Funk.
This video has been in the works for just under 3 WEEKS. From multiple script revisions, to 10s of hours and DAYS spent editing. This video has been my life for the past week, and its finally here. So much work went into this GD video. I hope you enjoy!

As someone who has been researching thousands of Geometry Dash videos trying to find the highest heart rates, it really is becoming concerning how many people are now reaching BPMs over the 200 threshold. I really hope we don’t get to a point where GD becomes a health hazard for players. After all, the game was intended to be fun, not life-threatening. Btw, awesome video Echo 💙🔥

As a person who died at 97 on cognition, I can say that dying at the end of a level almost feels like dying in real life.

@Erou "cognition isnt that hard " 💀

[@EchoGD]

@Erou people underestimate how difficult cognition is, in a wider gaming perspective, its semi impossible

[@f.k.6992]

@@EchoGD I totally agree. People think anything easier than top 30 is “not that hard” and then struggle to beat nine circles

[@evening_sw]

@Erou It Is THAT hard. Just because there are levels like aod or slaughterhouse being beaten doesnt mean a top 30(or whatever cognition Is) isnt hard . Its like saying lifting 300kg Is not that hard because there are some people that can lift 500.

[@mattyb9310]

This scares me a lot because I have an above average heartrate, and no nerve control. Never seen my heartrate after I beat a new hardest but it’s probably around 200.

As a "pro" player who's been having heart problems lately, it's honestly really demotivating to think about how nerve-wracking this game is. My heart problems almost only seem to appear while playing GD, which has caused me to basically quit the game. When i beat swi i was actually doing fine (even tho i almost passed out), but when i was playing levels like ouroboros, storming summit and cosmic cyclone, i spent tens of thousands more attempts than i needed to, just because i had to end the attempt on purpose, because if i get too nervous i would get severe heart palpitations, missing and double heartbeats, etc.

[@nodata7778]

stop leave please dont die you have still a lot of life left, please.

[@EchoGD]

Yeah I’ve had a similar problem, I physically can’t beat frozen cave because my heart rate goes too high and I have to throw the attempt basically. I don’t get any heart issues after, it’s just incredibly uncomfortable :( You’re really insane though, the fact that even though this happened to you, you pushed through and beat levels like swi. I’d recommend challenges, they’re fun and not at all nerve wracking

[@esmik]

One of the best GD videos on KZbin at the moment hands down. The editing and atmosphere itself on this one is amazing, and although I like more slow-paced videos that are longer, this one is a banger.

the fact that wildpoint got 215 BPM playing future funk (a hard demon) and is now playing sonic wave (77 on pointercrate) is genuinely terrifying thankfully I don't have many problems with heart rate since it rarely goes up even when I want it to and I always manage to die 1937348 times at the end of anything above hard demon and thus never fluke anything, but this video is actually terrifying, didn't help that it's 12:30 at night

Honestly, now that I think about it, it's no wonder challenges are becoming more popular. The difficulty is straight to the point, you only have to focus on raw skill, and it doesn't mess with your nerves like longer levels do.

[@xyanprod]

@@nodata7778 what do you mean by that

[@lool8421]

personally i've noticed that the body actually adapts to high stress and adrenaline amounts literally the longer i play GD, the less heart rate jumps i experience, like literally getting to less than 150bpm when beating a new hardest, actually catching breath in the middle of the run can be really significant, since the level of focus might be so absurd, that it's easy to start suffocating

[@Miguellyy]

i was trying to beat jawbreaker and when i reach the end in the levelmy heart doesn't even go up, it continues normal, i remember when i beat nine circles that my heart rate was high but now it's not that high anymore. (i probably misspelled something) the last time i got a high heart rate in gd was when i beat acu, jump from nine circles

[@PalkisAlt]

The last sentence in this video gave me massive chills knowing that would actually one day happen

[@JoshuaEightyThree]

Hey, this is Joshua83 here. Thanks for featuring me on this video! I keep looking back at these moments and realizing that this game can really make you anxious, and I was really showing that XD

[@newlineschannel]

Wow ok

[@zodycoder]

This is insane because I was in the exact same position as this person, doing a overly long difficult level, bad nerve control, and it was a new hardest. I got 99% once (thankfully) and that alone was probably breaching the 190's although I imagine my actual completion was at least in the 180's probably the most stress inducing thing I'll do for a long time until I either attempt dark odyssey or butiti II, but until then, I'll try to stay safe :)

[@MakovGD]

[@UQI_CT]

Bro I hate beating hard levels just because I can feel my heart beating like crazy 💀

[@panconmilanesa]

I jumped to acu from a easy hard demon and my bpm was just 130, but I had a bigger bpm with other runs in different levels, in future funk for example, when I died at 92% my bpm was 199, and when I did a 50-100 in wasureta my bpm was 187, I think the bpm you have depends entirely in the experience you have on a level or how hard the level it's for you at that moment, if you play a level you find fun and easy for your skill you'll be pretty calm, but if you beat a level with trash and hard gameplay (the average +medium demon today) you'll be pretty nervous, but in the end all depends if you can control your nervousness correctly. good video btw

[@xgp1579]

i Hope this wr will never be broken

[@toppstugan5147]

Ouroboros literally made my heartrate go wild. It was super intense

[@zettabytegd]

Future funk is one of my most fun demon completions and I highly recommended people play it. Your heart rate likely won’t go THAT high btw, also play the medium demon B, that’s also very good. If you’re skilled enough, also try the lost existence - it’s an XL extreme demon and I enjoyed beating it quite a lot!.

[@Zosso-1618]

Yes very good content Echo

[@Royale9]

Really wish I knew my heart rate on some completions. I remember beating Power by Toxyc and was shaking like crazy for some minutes. Or The Badlands being nervous af for the entire bossfight.

[@hgfdedzry]

I didn't know wild point was going for sonic wave! That level got my heart rate up to the highest it's ever been, at 194 bpm when i beat it, hopefully wild point doesn't set a new record again...

[@TimaYz3]

Omggg i just can’t imagine how scary it would be to be in a discord call with wildpoint while he is at the end of sonic wave for example. He gets to the end beats it… but then he just… dies…

[@nikolok7343]

I have a heartrate monitor on my clock when i play Geometry Dash, and since I'm 16 years old and have an unusual high natural heart rate, not sure if it is because of my ADHD, when I beat my hardest: Nine Circles. My heart rate rose to 196. How high will it reach if I go for more difficult levels requiring more dedication, I don't know. FYI I spent 3 days on Nine Circles, but I am too bothered to go for a new hardest. So it scares me if I spend months on a level and get far.

[@Spacegocrzy]

As a person who died at 98 on deadlocked, I can say that dying at the end of a level almost feels like dying in real life.

[@NotForcee_]

If someone died because of a heart attack on a level, that's terrifying

[@someone-cs1ix]

I'm not gonna lie, when I clicked this video I thought it would be about knobbelboy almost committing suicide after getting 98% on bloodlust (not sure if that's actually true, though I have heard that from several people), but this was very interesting to watch. Great documentary, and the last sentence is terrifying. The odds that someone does one day have a heart attack and dies from playing geometry dash are probably way higher than I've ever considered

[@ivo4587]

i like the thought of wildpoints last words being "FUTURE FUNK 100 PERCENT"

[@user-fv6vs5jn3r]

The accuracy of the heart rate monitor also matters. It depends on how the monitor is attached and its quality to determine the accuracy. I have a friend who while running, has recorded 250+ heart rate, but that is obviously false. That was from a wrist watch HR monitor. But that’s not to invalidate all high HR instances- just in some cases. Who knows whether it is accurate or not, as it isn’t the first thing I would think of after beating a hard level to manually check my heart rate with a timer and simple counting.
