It’s been two months since I initially shared my hypothesis that the Geometry Dash “Demons” are unbeatable by normal humans, and that everyone in the Geometry Dash Fandom has been brainwashed into thinking that they are. However, since then, I have uncovered new evidence that further supports my conjecture—although, at this point, it is less of a conjecture and more of a Demonstrable fact.
First, I would like to mention that I’ve finally managed to beat Sonar after a painstakingly colossal number of Attempts. Pulling off this feat did, admittedly, restore my vigor to continue playing Geometry Dash and I had since attempted to focus on Polargeist to eventually move onto further levels.
Early into my Polargeist Grind, I decided that it was of the essence to learn, once and for all, how to deal with the yellow Balls at the start. Thus, I took to YouTube tutorials to try to uncover whatever complex series of movements I had to perform to pass the yellow Ball that had impeded my progression forth in the game for so long. However, each PlayThrough I watched seemed to gloss over it, and there were no true tutorials to show me how to surmount this game-ruining issue. I began thinking that perhaps this was where the Game became Unplayable for Mobile Players. Perhaps there was some button on the Computer that would help me surpass this Ball.
Then I started wracking my mind for potential Clues. All I had noticed was this peculiar sample of Text that had appeared on my screen prior to the Ball after I had died a couple of times. However, I had decided not to read it in fear of the Text potentially spoiling the Story of the Game. But after one Redditor (in reply to my previous post) had shown an image of it in their comment, I recalled the text and read it. It told me to tap the Ring midair to Jump. However, this only brought about more questions: what Ring? There was a Ball in the air, but no Ring in sight. Was this Text referring to something else?
It was only after myriad Attempts of Trial and Error that I realized that the Ball *was* the Ring. I still do not Know why the Ball is called a Ring, but I now know to tap it midair to jump (I still think it’s bad Game Design to have the Jump Tap do two completely different Things, but I digress).
Slowly but surely, I made progress in Polargeist until I could reliably (about 5% of the time) make it 10% into the Level. However, one fateful day my upward progress went sour with disquieting haste. I was sitting near a Lake and trying to best Polargeist, and my spirits were high. Abruptly, my inner Cube took control and I made an incredible run after 5,000 attempts, making it 25% into the level. However, wretchedly, there was a Fake Orb at that point, and when I, a foolish Player far too willing to trust the Design of the Game, clicked it, I was sent reeling into spikes on a floating wall. Dashed were my dreams of beating Polargeist that day, and I must admit that I threw my Phone into the Lake out of pure fury. Thus, my progression was further occluded due to the absence of my Means to Play the Game.
Three weeks later, I re-downloaded the Geometry Dash after getting a new Phone and looked, utter horror pervading my conscience, as I saw that I had forgotten to save my Account before getting that superlative run on Polargeist, or even any of my runs surpassing the dreadful Ball. Thus, as can be seen in the Image attached, I was back to Square One.
I instantaneously shut down the Game after this. Everything I had spent days and days working on was Forsaken, and I was back to a measly 1%. Some people might even think I was Bad at the Game if they saw.
This is what brings me to what I’ve come to rant about. Even the most oblivious, bovine Geometry Dash players can notice that there are some lucidly Immoral scandals occurring within the bounds of the Game—there’s even a Leaderboard for which Players possess the highest amount of CP. But it’s not just that. The Entire Game is Designed to be malicious towards the Players, tricking them at Every Turn. That way I died in Polargeist was not an innocuous Game Mechanic. Balls aren’t supposed to kill you; they’re supposed to help you Jump. I was tricked by the Game into a sense of comfort with the yellow Balls only to have my run coldly driven into the nearby spikes. And I feel like that’s the Paragon of this Game’s essence; the Player’s trust is sacrificed in order to grant them a cheap death.
This is what causes distrust among the community, thereby resulting in the lies and brainwashing that make everyone fabricate stories of Beating “Demons” when no one truly has or ever will. The Game is built around this Distrust; that’s why it’s so prevalent in the community. Supposed “Demons Beaters” like those “Zoinks” and “Doggy” fellows that I have heard mentioned haven’t truly Beaten “Demons”—none of us have.
We’re all pawns in the Geometry Game, I think, to sum it up. What do you all think? Do you agree with my overarching proposition?
