The Day Geometry Dash Almost Died... 

Very well made video! I will be showing my kids one day as a retelling of the past

i remember theese times so much... the fact that knobbelboy was the one who brought up the GD community for a certain time was really amazing.

🔥🔥🔥documentary man, thanks for having me on!

can we appreciate how much effort he put into syncing the levels in the background? 1:37 piano syncs with the pulse in the back 2:16 the unity circles in the bg go up when he says "lifted" 2:20 the fading piano syncs with the fading comment 6:11 drums synced with the cut man puts so much effort into little details 🙏

If this video gets 10K likes I will instantly release a new documentary...

yo this video is awesome! Love the storytelling and it's nice to reexperience the events that happened back then

This is an amazing documentary style video for Geometry Dash. The editing, storytelling, and history behind this is incredible and I’m sure it took ages to make. It’s also really cool to hear a few voices from other Geometry Dash players such as lemoncake reading comments as a bit of diversity. This was amazing and your videos keep making me more and more impressed with this community after all this time!

7:50 that's so iconic

ah yes, I remember this time. I was still shit at the game, but literally everything I saw from Manix blew my socks off to the other side of the world. Blade of Justice and Bloodlust still stand toe to toe as my favorite extreme demons in the game. Absolutely excellent work here. Also, I really appreciate how you approached "he who shall not be named". I find it very funny.

Thanks for letting me edit part of the video! Your script writing, music choice and raw amount of effort you put into these videos is genuinely inspiring. Amazing work :)

In my honest opinion Bloodlust was the best top 1 we've ever had, such cool history, the time it took to come out, the decoration and how difficult the level was for the time it came out, it was insane

can we talk about how much of an unsung hero knobbelboy is? he went from the unlikely challenger to the overworked intern to the community's scapegoat to a replaceable dummy, and he still pulled through and beat bloodlust. a toast to knobbelboy's sheer willpower

after watching 5 minutes into the video you already forgot the thing which you came for, the exact date which geometry dash was gonna die

Incredibly good commentary! You are an underrated creator.

4:01 man had a heart attack, stroke, and got new about his cancer all in one go

Amazing video dude, and honestly i get more and more impressed by how the creators in the community keep pushing the editor again and again, as someone who's been here since 1.3, i'm amazed at how far we've gotten and look forward to the future and i hope gd grows even more

What can I say,except that this video is one,if not your best ! The story told is very interesting,the narration is on point,the editing is epic and gives me very good vibes :) This video is excellent,to say the least👍 It's an obvious Like+Subscribe for this work

Amazing video! The storytelling was great and the editing was smooth as well. I loved how everything came together in the end. Also, the part at 14:45 gave me another idea. Can you imagine what will happen if [REDACTED] (Crazen) successfully stole and verified Bloodlust? In an alternate timeline, he would be the one to replace Knobbelboy as the top 1 most respected player of the time, be the one to bring GD out of its dark age and bring vitality into the game, potentially take on numerous more projects due to his fame, and influence GD like nobody ever could. His name will be engraved in GD history... But then, he would be exposed as a groomer. What would happen to the community at that point? How would they react to one of the most respected and loved people being exposed as a horrible person? It can even potentially be worse than the GHS situation since Crazen will probably delete Bloodlust and all of his other projects before leaving, so there would be huge damages done to the demon list. People would need to find numerous new verifiers to rebeat Crazen's levels and come up with a way to deal with the emotional impact. Maybe even more things will happen. Large players leaving? Civil wars between supporters and enemies of Crazen? Even a return? Now I really want to see a GD theory video about this topic. It will probably be super controversial and be demonetized tho :(

I like how the clip at 1:50 is just you deleting the level backwards

4:10 bro got the camera that his grandpa used in WW2

It’s silly to me that people really thought 2.0 was hurtful to the game. Every update to Geometry Dash since it released has been nothing but beneficial to the game and the community. RobTop, as far as I know, has never implemented super controversial features or changes except for the physics changes in 2.2 which is incredibly recent. I know early 2.0 levels were kind of a mess but of course it’s gonna take the community awhile to learn new features in the editor, and guess what? Creators eventually did get a grasp on them and the game ended up fine.

FitMC wants to know your location Edit:The fun fact is that the Redacted player is Crazen

Amazing video! I been playing gd since 2.0 but quitted the game multiple times... Watching this types of documentary video are very fun and really makes me have hope on the community. Im hightlly convinced im not going to quit again at this point, this game has trully one of the most interesting stories of a community

I started playing the game right before Bloodlust was verified. I never knew that all this was happening before I joined. It’s really interesting to hear this story so many years later. Great job on this video!

anyone else noticed how everything is synced?

This video was insanely interesting and had me hooked the whole way, incredible work Mat!

10:41 the ꋬꋬꋬꋬꋬꋬꋬꋬꋬ got me 💀

calling this a mobile game is like calling minecraft a mobile game.

nice video about the history of geometry dash. this matmart documentary is probably your best

16:04 i felt that

Idk what to say but epic doc yes, you should make some more

Excellent video! I think this was around the time I started to distance myself from the community personally before coming back later on.

One of the best if not the best gd documentaries I’ve ever seen!

this is up there with samifying's documentaries. so cool

1M VIEWS! Congrats legend. This was such a good video :D love your content!

The amazing explaining I love it! It’s insane! Ur very talented

This is amazing dude, keep up the good work :)

Change the title to "the day world peace was almost achieved"

I like that you explained things for people who don't play the game or know the community's history. Nice :)

That ending was so wholesome

Insane and interesting commentary video, GG

Amazing video, super interesting topic and well done edit! 2.2 will def. revolutionize the Game and hopefully it will bring back old players to compete again and bring back the amazing feelings we had when people were verifying extremely hard levels

Haven't watched a GD video in a while, this one was really fun, I don't really enjoy just watching players beat levels that's gotten old for me but this video was pretty sick, thanks.

1:41 trackmania had a track editor and it was made in 2005

10:00 OMG THAT IS DA UNDERTALE DEATH SOUND!

My gosh, for someone who doesn't play gd much (myself), it's crazy how long I've been invested in this community. I think your video really captures the essence of what makes it such a fascinating community. Thank you MatMart!

I like your videos and editing, good job ,keep it up !

Thanks for letting me do the intro! Because I really really wanted to do that xD

I came here from watching debunking analog horror.

Where is the bloodlust moon

This video was insane... So many memories. Well done!

I keep watching this over and over again it’s way too good do more stuff like this

“Everything changed when 2.0 was released.” Why does this remind me of ATLA?

This is such an amazing video. You put so much into this video, and I love it so so much. One of my favorite parts is when you were switching between bloodlust and keeping the suspense for it while talking about other levels that were being rooted for Top 1. You executed that perfectly! I also love the ending when you made that smooth transition into getting people to play Geometry Dash. 10/10 content right here, thank you for this masterpiece

I began my GD journey in 2014 and usually nostalgize pre 2.0 era in 2014-2015 but this video made me remember some cool moments from 2016-2018

This is a very amazingly explained video. It deserves you 100k subs

I love me some gd documentaries, and damn this was really well made! Nice job :)

It's kind of ironic that you mention that early 2018 was the dark time for Geometry Dash. Personally, I remember during that time that because of the lack of notable events happening, the gameplay community had started forming, especially with the advent of Ocular Miracle back in November 2017. Even from a dark place, a spark had already formed and the small flames of creativity had started from another corner that would roar into an inferno that it is today.

Well made video i like these kind of vids man gg keep it up 💯

Bro 0:50 is gold I’ve never heard a more straight forward “damn” ever

Very interesting and informative!

As someone who wasnt active on the community even on the times like these, the editing in this video is amazing! Although im not all too familiar with the GD community lore, knobbelboys victory on bloodlust will never be forgotten

This video is amazing, keep up the good work!

This might actually be the best gd video I’ve watched. Thank you

Video is really nice! Reminds me of a Maximum video. The intro was really interesting and visually impressive. I like that you explained how Geometry Dash works at the beginning however my one piece of criticism is at 0:44 when you were showing how “it gets way worse”. Felt a bit cringy and out of place. And for new players who have never heard of BloodBath, they wouldn’t know how that gameplay you shown would be hard anyways.

This is actually a really well made video. I can watch this like 10 times over and I wouldn't get bored at all. Good job :D

This video is actually amazing. Nice work dude

A really well-made video, I can feel emotional as well as nostalgic when watching this.

It’s ironic how out of all the levels Manix made that he would fear for having bad gp it would be Blade Of Justice, one of the few levels he’s made without bad gp.

9:10 lemoncake voice xDDDD

I LOVE these documentaries and I will never stop watching these

40K subscribers, all for this quality! This is horrific! You deserve more subs!

0:29 man just explained the entirety of the game

This video is built like a murder mystery 💀💀💀💀5:52 but still , good video

The intro, it's actually one of the best I had ever seen. It tells a small summary of the documentary of how a mobile game rose to glory and fame, becoming a symbol of extremely hard games, eventually falling into the hands of the community who will decide the fate of this, and it's near death experience.

i absolutely love that editing and documentary styled video nice to see you grow that much i remember when you had like 200 subs and i found your channel incredibly underrated nice to see it getting the recognition that it deserves!

as long as at the speed of light exists geometry dash will remain

What next after 2.2 comes out?

Yo i love the fact that this video made for new players, people who never played gd and old ones at the same time

This was amazing! Tho the end was like a sponsor lol

i thought this man had AT LEAST half a million subscribers, I just realised he only has 30k. This man NEEDS more subscribers.

7:57 i felt that jesus

Good job insane storytelling and entertainment 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Watching that video did something great to me… it made me want to play geometry dash more and more, thank you MatMart

my man mat is recruiting new members to the gd cult, i mean fandom

I remember being so hyped, so exhilarated when bloodlust was verified. I know my hardest was like ToE 2 back then but to see that monstrosity of a level verified was a big feat

on 3:47 he said get rekt son" (or surv) that line... looks familiar... it was in a song named "fun dance" by Sharks.

that's so entertaining, holy crap great job

as a gamer once said, "Take a break, and youll come back better" 15:41

3:12 Matmart: in a era that most bossfights are some stupid dumb monster that ca-- Robtop joined the stream Matmart:Frick

I love how you used the music that sea 1997 would use in his GD videos.

This entire video was just a really long advert for geometry dash and I love it.

Yes when my icon touches a spike the run dose end in any level 0:37

14:52 man I love not wanting to mention Crazens name! As if we can't all acknowledge the sea of scummy shit he did before the thing that he's most known for

Yay another matmart video!

the unforgettable journey... I still play geometry dash to this day. I've been inspired to play by youtubers I've been getting better at this game. Let lord make this game to never die.

absolutely amazing video, I really can't believe this silly little game's community has people making incredibly detailed documentaries like this.

Bloodbath has fallen down

i remember back in 2015, i downloaded gd for the first time, i couldnt even beat stereo madness, so i quickly gave it up, i thought it was some hard random mobile game with 10 levels or something (i was on gd lite), when i stopped playing the game i completely forgot about it, i saw this video 4 months ago, and i decided to start again, i had many friends who played gd, since i got the full version now, i explored the search tab, i saw something i hadnt seen before, Demons? tons of times i wanted to quit the game, my friends told me that no matter how many times i died, i could always restart, i am still preety bad at gd, but now it seems extremely fun, and this video is the one that made me replay that "hard random mobile game" very well made, good job man

It’s crazy because until a month ago I never realized Plasma Pulse Finale was verified before Bloodlust, that only shows how I like others started becoming inactive during that time of the game.
