The Rise and Fall of SpaceUK 

so crazy cant wait till i have my own video made on my downfall

Space was honestly someone a lot of players looked up to. So sad how this is how it all turned out 😔

this is just a sad situation, and the fact some people still say "oh he was just bored" and downplay it irks me severely. on the bright side, Vortrox 100k soon?

There's literally no excuse for what he did. People keep glazing what happened by saying "He did it to troll us" "He just got bored, what a legend 🤓" He took the spotlight from so many legit players who actually put a shit ton of effort on this game just because ""He was bored"'" and lied for years.

The watermark I added on a whim 2 years ago was a complete joke for both list teams for so long, turns out it paid off in the most unexpected way LOL

If I had a nickel for every time a GD player got exposed, I’d have way too many nickels to count

It’s like Karl jobst says: cheaters don’t cheat to get something they can’t achieve, they cheat to get it faster

This was actually sad to see, because not only did he lied about everything, but his entire career was just a joke for us. I'm not saying i'm mad at spaceuk though, it's just, why would he do this to the community? EDIT: He tricked the mods into approving his records on main list levels? What a shame. But right now, he's beaten Tartarus and The Golden as his hardest, but that still wouldn't get back the good reputation he once had. Huge L tho.

The fact he did up to the golden 96% legit then hacked everything is kind of sad, he could have went so far as he was a very skilled player.

I actually thought SpaceUK was a legitimate player. It was never a thought in my mind that he might be cheating, so this was very surprising to see. And it's really messed up how much money he made off of cheating and lying to the whole community, it's straight up careless.

Truly sad how someone who can get exposed and fall so fast

This news really sucks man. All Geometry Dash history for the past 2 years has to be changed now...

The thing with him not verifying Slaughterhouse kinda reminds me about what happened with Zodiac, where the first victor became the verifier after the original verifier admitted to hacking.

Spaceuk was personally one of my fav gd youtuber. The fact he shows up to the community and overtook everyone so quickly. I was genuinely impressed how gifted he was and absolutely admired his talent. He became my motivation to play gd again. But now... it's just sad to see. Im not even mad, just disappointed very much

i think the most heartbreaking part is that they didn’t really care that they got exposed it was just “i lost interest”. ty for the video!

Space uk was technically the most popular showcaser

This is really sad to me. I look up to top players for motivation to play... so seeing the best of the best destroy himself through hacking is devastating.

The difficulty jump from Decode to Windyland scape to Wasureta and later gaining 96% on The golden is absolutely impressive for your 1st top 5 demon I highly have a feeling even with out a hack he still being able to become GD Best player if he was serious about it. But sadly he decided to used hack... What a wasted potential...

I'm honsetly really sad that this would all happen without knowing. Space was the reason i came back to gd because of Slaughterhouse, it breaks my heart seeing this all happen :((((. I hope we can learn about this and try to give other players the recognition they deserve!!!

What a crazy turn of events. I could've never expected something like this would happen

One of my favorite experiences that I have in Gd was actually with SpaceUK. I remember I discovered space right around the time where we had 30-40% on The Golden and he was maybe averaging 5-15 viewers per stream. I was making a small mega collab with friends that was way to hard for any of us to beat, I believe it was an Erebus remake. Anyways after we completed the gameplay I asked Space if he would consider verifying once decoration was completed and he said he would consider it if the level looked good enough. Well after some demotivation and burnout on making the collab it never got finished but I still have that discord DM saved to my camera roll

It's been like 4 seconds since it happened and bro released an entire ass documentary 🥶

I really looked up to Space, honestly. He made me persevere and challenge myself to beat something I thought I couldn't. But now, because of this, the entire community is in shambles.

Out of all my years of playing video games, this is quite possibly one of the most shocking things to come out of it. This is genuinely sad to hear.

I absolutely love how Doggie was trying to verify slaughterhouse and then spaceuk was like “yoink” and took it from him and then he gets exposed, so that means that after slaughterhouse was “verified” Doggie got the first victor after “verification” meaning he verified it since spaceuk hacked, so basically it’s like a uno reverse card we didn’t know existed

"Pro players don't hack to achieve accomplishments. They hack to achieve accomplishments faster."

Sorry to hear about this! DO you think you could make more documentary videos like this? I love watching Blue's and I think you could make great ones!

He honestly is the modern cyclic, except for the fact that he didn’t even confess himself

I honestly dont even know if I trust space saying his hardest is Kenos. Keep in my mind he tried to keep up his reputation for as long as possible. - Some things found out as hacked -> "Only those were hacked." - Multiple completions found out as hacked -> "Everything after my biggest achievement (Mainlist completion) was hacked. Mainlist is legit though." - Mainlist gets found out as hacked -> "Yeah ok, everything was hacked except kenos and some random stuff, but I deleted my channel and won't give a list of the levels I did and didn't hack so you can't find out exactly."

Since today, I think NoctaFly's case was the most shocking for me

I already commented this on another video but even if in every game there’s cheaters it’s scary how in a community so aware of everything there’s still cheaters around and nobody bats an eye

Truly one of the moments of all time. Glad I didn't pick Space to verify Centipede.

Unfortunate A lot of us myself included; loved this player, respected; and DEFINITELY looked up to him along with other Top players like Doggie and Zoink and such. But now this? Damn 8/

we all know this man will get 100k subs soon

Very good video summarizing everything, thank you. This is litterally the biggest hacker caught in GD so far and I cannot believe I witnessed it when I did

I was blindsided by this news, I wasn’t around when the cyclic or noctafly stuff happened but imagine it was like this. This really says a lot about cheat detection too it needs to be improved dramatically

curious, what's the song at 2:30? i've heard it in many GD videos, yet I haven't found the origin

Imagine getting ratted out of a community because of 64 pixels 💀

Not expecting me to wake up and to see that one of my favorite players was a hacker. I can’t believe he got away with all this and now we will never see him again. This is way worse than the Cyclic incident a while back ago. It’s sad to see him go this way.

i wonder if it'd be possible for someone to make a dedicated video for crisis? he was literally the best player in 2021 (completed top 18 and first victor of firework), but got overshadowed so hard by space.

I have beaten clubstep in 6727 attempts I’m so proud of myself!

..guys don't search up "Doggie Slaughterhouse"

Congrats on 300K subs!

I saw ur video on tt, then i watched a video again and again and again, suprised at spaceuk, bery understandable commentery too

I don't even think he completed Kenos or Wasureta or jumped from easy demons.

I am actually not surprised at all. I have seen lots of ppl getting exposed for many things and so this doesn't make me impressed. I just hope he improves in the future

Honestly he was one of my favourite players and one whose skill i was amazed by the most. Though I was always a bit suspicious of him. From him privating old videos or not including clicksounds in some of his youtube completions. I always hoped I was wrong about that but here we are

This is sad, I kinda looked up to space and was really disappointed when this was revealed, this also makes me worried a bit for the future of extreme demons, hopefully this doesn't happen again

I've already expressed my opinion countless times on other videos/servers, so I'll just say one thing. This video was made so fast and it is so good. Good stuff Vortrox :)

2:28 HOLY SHIT the nostalgia (sea1997)

wow, im actually sad about this one. spaceuk was a player i looked up to. now he's a player that i still respect, but am disappointed by. although i still do look up to him, its now in a different light.

I've been looking for the song that plays in the background at 2:33 for a long time. Could someone kindly tell me which song that is?

My life has been a lie. I considered him the second coming of nSwish, maybe even overtaking him, I looked up to him as a GD player. I followed and admired him. This is devastating.

absolutely insane quality content how tf you make this so fast

this whole situation is pretty sad, me personally i got back into the community in like 2020/2021 after so many years and i accepted spaceuk as the best player like many other people (can't say i didn't have doubts about everyone after coming back to gd after years and seeing how hard things had gotten), but now i think that too many people are saying he WOULD'VE been a promising player. well he hacked, but he could still keep playing the game normally from now on. he could actually try and get as good as we all thought he was. they deleted his records, it doesn't mean he can't play anymore ever again

Been praying for his downfall ever since he "quit" gd and had his demonlist profile deleted only to return 2 days later and beg for it to be reinstated

petition to make 940px a meme

It’s surprising to me no one saw this coming. I always had a feeling he was a hacker bcuz bro beat so many extreme demons in such a short amount of time

I’m so sad that space decided to hack and be brought down like that. I know a lot of players looked up to him and I even jumps from the nightmare to nine circles because of him

i need to ask u the music u used during "the downfall" section of the video. ive been looking for it ever since sea1997 used it like 7 years ago

Welcome to GD News!

I feel bad for space, but at the same time, not really. Thank you for covering this, vortrox ❤

This has made me really anxious about other top players being outed as hackers. You never know

I am in a state of deja vu rn. Cyclic was another Top 1 player that verified the hardest level at the time (Sonic Wave) using hacks. This was over seven years ago. time flies

i have no idea how we didnt suspect him even tho he jumped from an easy to an insane

This is actually crazy. I really thought he was a prodigy and one of the best legitimate players ever!

Excellent video in a short time Vortrox

I seriously admired this player and am genuinely shocked that bro hacked almost all of his extremes, and it's even sadder considering that he really had talent coz he actually did those difficulty jumps (except golden) but decided to hack instead.

It is sad that Spaceuk hacked Acheron and slaughterhouse

Bro pulled a cyclic 💀

omg what is the background audio at the start of the video its from the house that jack built but i cant find it

This is like cyclic all over again.

space went from having it all at the top to completely nothing

Newgens finally got their own cyclic

This is so hilarious, I swear, the drama never stops in the GD Community and I’m here for it!

SpaceUK was my favorite GD player ever. I thought he was the best player ever but now that I know he hacked all of his completions really hit me hard. 😢

This explains why he has literally no reaction when he beats a level.

HAPPY NEW VIDEO BABY!!! We missed you!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰💋💋💋

This feels like a repeat of Cyclic. - Top player turns out to be hacker - Is genuinely good at the game, but still hacked (Cyclic came back to beat levels legit iirc) - "Verified" a level so difficult it would have a large legacy and broke the difficulty barrier - Stole some honorable spots from other top players (like first victor)

After hearing this news, I'm still motivated to beat Kyouki one day before I die, no matter how many attempts it would take (if I get a better pc)

Tbh vortrox,idk if you agree with me,but this scandal its far worst than Noctafly/Death Corridor situation,in my opinion,the demonlist had a scar since that exposing and now the list have won another one but worst than that,it shows that opened a gap,of how many other players have hacked their verifications and the lack of trust in the community its completely (i wouldnt say so low) bad. And it got worst after he won 2 times Best Player in GD awards,showing how much spotlights from other pro players (like doggie and trick),got stolen from it,they could remove spaceuk from the titles of 2021 and 2022 awards giving them to the other two mentioned,but i doubt it would be enough to close this page on geometry dash community.

Honestly I think space is still a good guy. He's let his past actions go by him. He is a great dude. Happy merry Halloween st Patrick's day!!!

this is kinda sad tbh i didnt even realize this happened until now :(

bro for the longest time i always thought of spaceuk as "the peak of geometry dash skill" it genuinely amazed me how good he was and i always looked up to him. a year later and now im just disappointed

Posted this a few times under a few vids but it sums up my thoughts perfectly Back in march of 2021, i was hella sus of him. The golden in 50k attempts when his top 3 hardest was wasu, leyak and WL didnt seem reasonable to me. i told a few friends my thoughts and how sus it looks but was brushed off and told hes legit. Mind you they were better than me, so i just shut up and took there word for it cause im awful at gd. I can fucking believe i was right this entire time. We need higher standards for completions, and as much as i dont wanna say this, we may have to resort to having them on stream use both a monitor cam and a keyboard cam to show every single input they do. Streams mean nothing at this point when you know how to play. its as simple as turning a macro on, clicking to it, and turning it off when you get far and having the bind far from the mic so it wont be picked up. It actually sickens me that he got away with it this long. I bet you theres at least 15 hackers in the top 100 on pointercrate atm cause of how easy it really is to get away with it now. Every single top player needs to be heavily looked into at this point to avoid something like this for now on. at least for the main list completions. ik its a hassle and time consuming but if the list TRULY did care about integrity and maintaining itself, they would have no issue triple checking every fucking record thats submitted to the list. its honestly pathetic and only further makes me loose faith in the list to begin with. for now on im not bothering with top players. I dont know who the fuck to trust at this rate. im just gonna play for my own personal goals and reasons and leave it at that.

Sick

this whole situation is so funny to me bruh, not even sad, kinda feels like cyclic all over again fr

It took a month for his first demon it took me six months to beat stereo madness but luckily by now I have beat 2 demons

i think this tells a very strong lesson that no matter how trustworthy someone may seem, everyone is capable of dishonesty. paqoe took us to meet our hero, and now we wish she had done it earlier

I hope he doesn't get harassed too much. GD lore is the best lore, i wasn't expecting this plot twist tbh. Let's see what happens in the next episode.

8 hours later and it’s still banging to watch cuz I just had a dream about gd lol

Spaceuk left a legecy on hacking and geometry dash as a whole and honestly I still respect him as a person. So shoutout to spaceuk

I actually cannot believe moist critical reacted to this LMAO

Only 600 attempts on can’t let go?! Na bros a god

wow.. I didnt realise this! I actually looked up to spaceUK before this.

I may not know Space as much, but it’s incredibly sad how these top 1 players are being revealed to be hackers. It’s generally sad how low the GD community is falling. Like, many popular players are being exposed to hacking or… *GuitarStyles* This will change GD forever. Who knows who’s a hacker unless they confess or pure evidence is found? Who’s next to be exposed?

Top 1 player and not under 16 years old. That’s all the proof you need 💀

W zbot developer

ITS BEEN 1 DAY AND YOU MAKE THIS

I come back after a 1 day break from geometry dash and see this…
