The Robbed Top 1s

The #1 spot on the demonlist is one of the most prestigious things in geometry dash. Over the last decade many players have attempted to bring about the new hardest level and its that dynamic that’s caused some players and levels to become etched into the culture of the game and its community. Not everyone can achieve that glory though and some have gotten just plain unlucky in their pursuit of the #1 demon. Some levels were hard enough to rightfully earn that place but it was unrealized until it was far too late. These are the robbed top 1s.

Awesome video! This is an interesting topic, I always wonder how different people's legacy could've been if they had gotten the correct placement. I do wish you included Silent Clubstep, however, since that definitely hurts we never officially saw. In a way, back then, it was kind of incredible to see that a level so hard wasn't even top 1. However, it still was sort of upsetting after so much build-up But yeah, overall great work :)

[@ducky4ever75]

[@Oqiwbfrmek292n]

Arcturus is SO robbed and wasn't even given enough recognition. Everyone talks about firework, when this level not only was verified 2 months earlier, but also was the true first level to dethrone tartarus. I was actually so happy when this got moved up above tartarus. I know pretty much everything in this level is considered trash by the community, but I love this level man and it deserves to be atleast included in the former top 1's list

[@tm3ind]

[@Oqiwbfrmek292n]

​@@SpaceUK45unfunny

[@poppinkringles]

Conical was eaiser by 144zh standards and much eaiser by 60hz standards (back when bb was top 1 literally all the best players were on 60hz). In fact on 144hz phobos and bb were really close in difficulty I'd say either could be harder.

Imo conical depression is easier than bloodbath.

When you showed Theory of Darkness on screen, that brought back so many memories

[@gimox1050]

At the time of Phobos verification, many players played on 60/75/120/144hz which are relatively low and so, Bloodbath was much harder than Phobos while on high refresh rates like 240 or 360hz, Phobos is slightly harder

[@poppinkringles]

I feel on 144hz it's pretty close, but I agree with your point.

Remener, the higher a level is on the list, the faster it falls off the list. It's like exponential growth; Bloodlust will probably be off the extended list early next year.

It’s very interesting. In almost every case, GD history is impeded either by biased opinions towards a specific level, or, the creator of the game itself. It’s very sad to see how many stories like this have arisen over the years, but hey, at least most of those affected saw success regardless :) Great video! Keep up the amazing work champ

[@lim3forceREAL]

the demonlist mods definitely werent PHocusing (cries in avernus)

[@burnv06]

If you go by date of legitimate verification instead of being rated/added to the demonslist, and use contemporary difficulty opinions, here’s the list of top 1s since 1.9 (as far as I know): Cataclysm Bloodbath Phobos Sakupen Hell Athanatos Sonic Wave Plasma Pulse Finale Bloodlust Crimson Planet Zodiac Tartarus Sonic Wave Infinity Arcturus Diabolical Clubstep Firework Slaughterhouse Abyss of Darkness Silent Clubstep Acheron Tidal Wave

There's also Oblivion that got nerfed due to the same reasons.

[@clubflocked]

arcturus been top 1 for 2 months, than it was firework for 2 months, and only after Doggies verification, slaughterhouse became top 1

[@sasdrob]

oh and btw, legacy list doesn't mean anything. A level falling off a subjective list of the 150 hardest levels (very biased and very mixed in difficulties) its nothing to be sad about. Bloodbath and Sonic Wave are still very hard levels, and them being off the list shouldn't make people write off the levels as not hard anymore.

Heres a few that may quality Hard Machine: 2.2 made it significantly easier which is why it was moved down a lot but in 2.1 many agreed it was harder than tartarus Oblivion: Another levle that is split between harder than tart and easier than tart and was above tart for a long time Trueffet: Moved above tart then moved below it so kinda?
