The BEST WAY to Get Good at Geometry Dash [All Skill levels - 2021] 

Since people asked, here are the levels I beat: brpm8zgkrj - robochief in my mind - rawin ace y tune - mineber flurry - amightyduck hell yeah - dashiell effectual prism - met30 violets - el4n hutaolloween - sparksomega pareidolia - distortt

The best way to improve is to enjoy it, and I think you went over so clearly how to enjoy the game long term. Really good points dude!

"Not everyone can be a spaceuk" turns out even spaceuk cant be a spaceuk

Honestly this is some really solid general advice that applies to a lot of things!

"We've spending most of life living in Npesta's paradise"

4:00 this is absolutely true. I'm having this problem right now, but on the mobile list, my hardest Is artifice which is 48, but I can barely get 50 on sigma interface, which is 61 because it's so slow and timing based in comparison, while I'm used to playing fast levels. This has shown me that I need to play slower and more timing based levels, so thanks aeon :)

Back then, a year ago, I beat 19 demons in 8 days just because of this guide, and yesterday I beat my first top 50, Cold Sweat. Thank you Aeon.

anyone can now be spaceuk

I play GD to have fun and I shit you not but Theory of Everything 2 took me a total of 30k+ attempts and I don't CARE what ANYONE says, does'nt matter if they flex like "lol I beat that in 26 att" or those cringe kids that just laugh at me for being bad. Great vid man keep up and you'll gain even more subs cuz you deserve more! Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪

8:11 made kind of made me realise I am doing levels too hard for me. I'm trying to beat Duelo Maestro as my second insane demon (Supersonic being my first) and as a brand new hardest. I started it in mid september and at first, everything was going fine, like I got 27% in 3 days which was a huge achievement for me, considering the fact that I always taught this level was almost impossible and that I was not even able to get past 30% in practise mode... So yeah everything was going great and I started to get really great progress around 50% and I was really happy and motivated and I was thinking about beating it within two months (also, I got 53% around early October). But then something happend, I got a 26% fluke from 53% straight to 79% on October 19 (I have a video on my channel for those curious) and yeah I was thinking that I was totally gonna beat it soon, like in a week or so, but then, time went on and on, deaths past 70% accumulated especially at 73%. At this point, already around one month and a half had pass, I think so, but considering that it took me two months to beat Supersonic I was still motivated but a bit less than before. At one point, I was getting to 70%+ about once or twice a day, which is very far for me, but none of these attemps were the lucky one. And as of right now (December 9), I have approximately 40 000 attemps (practise mode included) and still no new progress after more than a month. I thought I would have been done with it around October or ealry November, but here we are, in December without any form of 'real' progress. I'm playing this level around one and a half hour a day maybe more maybe less, I got 40% to 100% around 4 times. Also Duelo Maestro is not only a level I really like but it is soooooo long, it is by FAR the longest level I attempted beating (and hopefully, one day, beat!). All of this to say that I don't know what to do, i'm probably gonna take a break during Christmas and see how it goes later. If anyone has some recommendations, like should I drop it? and really don't want to because I know I can be it but..., this is the first time something like this happens to me and, like I said, I don't really know what to do about it. That is it, I wish you have a nice day ! :)

As someone who likes to stick to levels and do big jumps(jumped from acu to SW,currently have 48-98 on BL),I wanna give a different perspective. At 9:31 and throughout the video,u talk about how you like to beat many different types of levels. When you put it that way,it definitely seems obvious that it would be fun,but I don’t think it’s as appealing to other people as you may think. I personally find it much more enjoyable to beat really difficult levels and try to get runs on levels that are way out of my skill range (like Tartarus) rather than beating multiple insane demons because it just doesn’t really interests me and it can kinda feel pointless (in terms of improving my skill). Obviously not everyone operates the same way that I do,and I certainly wouldn’t recommend it as doing big jumps require a lot of patience and a special desire to push yourself to the limit,so yeah I don’t really know how many other people think the same way that I do. Either way,your videos are always a good watch and this one was no exception. :)

1:30 very true! What helped me improve a lot was building layouts. Creating gameplay is a much more immersive way to get to know the mechanics of the game better.

Every once in a while I return to this video, it motivates me to progress and continue to grind more. I like how aeon understands what exactly things are there that stops a player from being good and he addresses it and tells the solution in the best way possible thanks aeon

0:04 Everyone should follow the instruction in the top right ngl

Thanks for the shoutout :)

Thanks for playing my level aeon :)

I needed this,cuz right now im trying to jump from jawbreaker to poltergeist and i have no clue what to do.

really good tips, ive noticed a lot of people sticking to one gamemode, sinking in too much time into a big jump to get better, or just straight up not enjoying the game and ultimately not really advance as players personally i just play for fun rather than to improve and as a result have realized that completions are way different from just runs, being more stressful and less fun but more notable and rewarding so i’d figure the optimal playstyle would be to beat levels you can deal with relatively quickly but feel free to do random runs on hard but fun stuff

Dude you are litteraly here at the right time for me, basically i wanted to start a new gd account again because my old one was litteraly fucked and had all bad levels, and noclipped demons from 3 years ago, and i wanna make a real clean one, and improve at the game. SO i watched npesta's guide and i'm doing it rn, and then i search for video for improving and i see that you just uploaded this one. THANKS that's gonna help a lot, btw the hoodie is fire

Most people clicked on this video to learn how to beat your first extreme.

I needed this, thank you

Good advice! I'm trying to force myself into beating a hard demon, but I keep getting stuck at early parts of the level. I'm just going to enjoy the game for a while, maybe doing some more medium demons before I commit to something above my skill set.

Omg the skill things are the best advice ive heard, cuz i have been stuck on just fast synced gp which is how i could beat acu but not like cata, thanks aeon you are the best

It's a good thing to understand that: it's a game, if your not having fun it doesn't make sense to play

10:50 not every one can be a spaceuk 💀

This helped a bunch. Took a break after getting nowhere in Future Funk and beat Toxic Sewers (my new hardest) and Dark Hell. Thanks for this 🙏

I beat my first insane demon just coming back to the game. I hope to use this to improve my skill. Thanks!

Tbh I've been trying to beat Dark Odyssey for my 200th demon (currently having 199 demons) and for my 2nd extreme for the past few weeks, I chose that level because I want to get better at nerve control/long levels and I also thought that it's fun I'm more than 3k attempts in since it's genuinely a struggle for me to even get to 35, and it's even more of a struggle to get past the first dual Around 3 weeks ago, for a week I actually spent 3 hours every day just to grind DO, I did get to 78 (the 2nd dual), but after that, it's been nothing but deaths at 15-30% 35-45% and 52-67%. Now I'm taking a break from the game currently since I have a lot of other things to do plus the fact that I'm just feeling demotivated at the game Overgrinding CAN lead you to think that the level you're trying to beat is legit wasting your time so I feel like it's best to take a break from time to time, since in my opinion your muscle memory holds up really well and when you come back to the level and trying to beat it, maybe you'd get lucky with it the next time you come back to the level you're trying to complete

Ah yes I have beat the nightmare, TIME FOR BLOODLUST -thumbnail

10:41 now those who compared themselves to space REALLY screwed themselves over.

Thanks for this. This helped me so much and now I have bet 4 demon levels, thanks.

I love how the level in the background syncs with the background music 1:46

This is really inspiring to me, after watching this I realized that my top 5 is all based on things I’m good at, except epsilon ig. But i realize I really need to improve my ship and endurance mainly since those are my big weaknesses I would say. I’m good enough at wave to not just go for wave levels, even though I definitely could. So since I want to make this change, I wanted you ask aeon, or anyone for that matter, if there are any ship-based levels I could do. My skillset is around high legacy-low extended list :)

Thanks man! I was honestly in a really bad state for the last 2 weeks and this video really helped me pay attention to the things that actually matter. Hoepfully I will become better soon.

this was awesome. My hardest is thanatophobia. Working towards harder stuff

Me with over 200k attempts on Ocular Miracle jumping to bloodlust: Intresting

The editor tip is actually a good concept i should have done this in the beginning and I might have gotten good quicker

All I got from this is balance your skill set and if you cant get 20% in a level within a week of playing, you should prob drop it Aeon advice🙂

Play the game and see all the mechanics firsthand and how they are commonly used ❌ Slowly and meticulously find every single intricacy and memorize them in a process that takes hours ✅

For wave, I would also recommend getting the rhythm of 1 slope, at all speeds. Most levels that use wave also use full slopes for the gameplay

With aeon talking about how sticking to one skillset isnt that good, but should still be a great achievement, there is also the fact that you might thingk you can do other hard demons (i.e if you beat nine circles then try to do future funk, then you wont be able to beat it)

You cant just expect to beat a level within the day of starting it Spaceuk: Cute

this entire video is just aeon flexing his skills in the backround

and this is why i subscribed to you 👍

That song again. i love how you use this song in all of your videos

These are some really solid tips, and I agree with pretty much everything you said in the video. This will help a lot of people!

I beat my hardest yesterday which was Futuristic Road, I brute forced it for 2 days and beat it in about 2.4k attempts, I don't know if this means I was ready to beat something harder and I'm not pushing myself enough or I just tried really hard, I consider this level to be different from my skillset, which is old levels (1.3-1.6) with memory so IDK, congrats on 100k btw

Exactly what I needed.

the diversify thing is something that I've been building and still doing it since late 2019 because ik I'm not that good at some game mode and it's finally paid off. as for the patience, I'm quite inconsistent with my own patience. because sometimes I rely on other's progress on a level and got burned out if I can't keep up with it, and that lead to unmotivated phase. anyway great video

Very good tutorial. I have a question about the (in your case) 50% in a week thing. Does it apply to runs from 0 or also to runs with start pos? (I have 32-82 on Forbidden Isle but only 20% from 0 because I haven't played much from 0)

If i compare my self to anyone for me its motivation

good advice :) i'm going for windy landscape as my new hardest as a jump from magma bound because ship is basically my worst gamemode (especially mini) so it is objectively harder than mb for me. then I wanna do the apocalyptic trilogy, leyak, acu and then go for sakupen hell to improve my wave skill (wave is also one of my worst gamemodes)

Thanks for this video!

this teaches us a lot about everything, very good video aeon tysm!!

I beat my first insane demon that I spent multiple months on. I didn’t play any other levels and I only beat it just so o could beat it. It wasn’t any fun at all. Now that I beat it I feel satisfied but I started playing Acropolis and I’m having the most fun ever with gd. Problem is I don’t have time at all to play gd

biggest tip for beating levels fast is runs to 100 do a few quick practice runs, then do ~90 - 100, ~80 - 100.. all the way down to ~20 - 100 and make sure you get to 100 on every run, dont die to 97 and go to the next one

Amazing video Aeon! Thank you do much.

5:41 why does the percentage go back down to 81 after it goes up to 82? *Rock eyebrow raise*

Very good advice ❤️

Aeon is so good at the game because, his icon is facing forward with eyes, so that means his icon can see the obstacles

I was stuck in a trap of not doing hard demon or above difficulty until I decided to do windy landscape and that has motivated me to always try harder levels.

i love ur content aeon!

Patience and realism can be a pain in the butt to do for a perfectionist autistic like me, especially if my brain did the same input instruction and if I am comparing expectations or experiences to other levels of the same difficulty, it ends up being quirky and the muscles suddenly act jumpy or unresponsive, hence a different result for some reason. I tend to be a forceful person in making the impossible (Not Insane and Extreme Demon impossible) to be, well, possible, the correct outcome from the imagination. I wanted to be fun at the same time, even though it sounds paradoxical like an android (wishing to be one) would say. (However, I genuinely have fun with the editor.)

1. It's a bonus if you're a creator, as it allows you to also experiment a lot more with the game mechanics. (it's one reason why I've gotten a bit better with with SOME gamemodes) 2. I don't like Nine Circles levels, not satisfying to beat them. 3. I've been patient with most things, even when I've jumped difficulties from time to time. (I have yet to beat Deception Dive, despite having 80%) 4. I fully agree there at 10:35, it's why I say I suck at the game, even if others say I don't. As a player myself, I am capable of beating harder levels like Deception Dive and Bloodbath, but I often can't be bothered (I usually grind Bloodbath if I get bored of other things in the game. lol)

I fluked acu (my first extreme) from 52 and I knew that wouldn’t happen again when playing cataclysm as my 2nd extreme. So I mentally prepared myself for the next 13,000 attempts it took me to beat it. Now I’m trying to beat TUP (have 46% but zobros’s part and 75-100 are rly hard) but also going through the easy GDDP levels so I don’t get bored. Ironically enough, I skipped an entire tier on the GDDP without even realizing it. Apparently Acu is a LOT harder than 8o lmao

If there's one thing I love, It's ship and slope gameplay.

1:43 THAT SYNC

and not givingup is the biggest key

0:12 man said "geomra dash"

i personally am better at ship than anything else but i see the importance in balance.

Love your sweater

Being patient was a major problem for me, I remember a while back I put 2500 attempts into InsanitY by Serponge and I only got 62% like sure I played it for a week but I should have persevered instead of dropping it However, on the other hand, I've beaten a lot of varied levels in the meantime, including Sakupen Egg, so maybe it was worth it

Actually, in fact everyone can me like a space uk 10:50

according to this videos advice, i need to play levels with more difficult ship parts. Could someone please give me some suggestions for levels to bring my ship skill up from barely beating an easy demon to beating hard demons? (the ship in nine circles is harder than the wave for me lol)

“You can’t expect to beat a level in just a day” I beat chaotic hell as my new hardest in line 5 hours, my previous hardest was electrodynamics v2 Also I progress very fast in levels so when I’m doing insane demons if I do a run from the hard part to 100 and then get to that hard part from 0 all in 2 days. Even with this rule I don’t think there was ever been a demon I tried to do where I could do this

something i'm doing is going for a new hardest that mostly consists of something that i struggle with. since i need practice with long levels for a verification that i'm working on, i'm going for hypnotic travel as my new hardest. my best run is 66-100%. i also struggle with fast gameplay, so i'm practicing hi for my first insane demon. i currently have 42%.

“The best way to get better at Geometry Dash” Me: *Jumps from Dance Massacre to CraZy III for a new hardest*

The diversity tip is something I have really struggled with, I always knew I was best at timings, good at ship, and bad at wave, but when I practiced translucent I realized how much my skill was based around consistency and not raw skill. The reason for this is I would always play longer levels that were timing and ship based. What I’m doing to try to fix this is some short levels. I don’t what to do for wave since I hate nine circles levels not because they are too hard because the gamplay sucks

I myself need some help. Every time I’ve tried a hardest since beating B (2nd medium demon after deadlocked) I have found myself picking levels I really enjoy and also help round my skillset, but by the time I’m able to beat them, i’m basically already done with the level. (ex, I still have 85% on magma bound and I started it ages ago) Any tips?

Yeah the diversity thing was an important detail, thank you for mentioning it

It’s Really Demotivating, To Play Mobile, And Not Having Much Money To Get A PC And A Monitor etc.

I'm probably going to follow these tips because ship is absolutely destroying my life and I can't do ship stuff for the life of me even tho I can beat list demons. Maybe I should just take my time and beat a lot of ship levels after i beat subsonic

great video thanks

6:22 that sync tho

This is accurate. I went for 8o and I couldn't get past the first ship and I could do literally everything else in the level

Thing I want to say about physics is that reverse gravity is slightly stronger (except for wave obviously)

can be good at the game if i have slow reflexes? my brain just can't process what i see fast enough

bro this video came in my recommended 6 times is youtube trying to tell me something???

Thanks for the advice. My demon count has now increased by 1 👍

4 mediums, after this 2 hard demons, after this 2 insane demons, after this I beating extreme

Just see what you're capable of doing and slowly raise the bar :)

im not very motivated to try to beat future funk although i have like 50% on it ( my hardest is "Ye its a demon" by zoroa) i feel comfortable with the level on average i get 70-100 attempts in practice its not hard im just not very motivated

10:40 that aged really well

I feel pretty good when comparing myself to spaceuk.

4:00 idk why but im equally good at all gamemodes (almost) im slighter worse at spider compared to other stuff but other than that I have the same skill level for all gamemodes

I wish I did this first step before I went and struggled beating 16 demons ;-;

My sight reading is kind of bad imo, because sometimes I think the dash orbs is an orb that you jump on, and it's pretty annoying. And whenever I play an online level I don't see the orb/spikes sometimes because all of the decorations. And because of that, I can barely do a hard level. Sometimes I get stressed then I die. And that discourages me alot Oh yeah. I also play on gdw

i like how he used the GDDP thumbnail and just changed the gravity of the ball and ship

All of this is oddly beautiful life advice??? Like, genuinely, you should rescript this outside of Geometry Dash and it would be super good self help

thank
