Uploading & Sharing Levels

Learn how to upload and share your custom levels in Geometry Dash. Guide players through creating and submitting their Geometry Dash masterpieces to the commun.

Once you've poured your heart and soul into creating a masterpiece in the Geometry Dash editor, the next logical step is to share it with the world! Uploading your level allows other players to experience your creation, offer feedback, and potentially even rate it, contributing to its popularity and visibility. This section will guide you through the process, from preparing your level to understanding the sharing options.

Pre-Upload Checklist

Before you hit that upload button, ensure your level is polished and ready for public consumption. A well-tested and thoughtfully designed level is more likely to receive positive attention.

• Playtest Thoroughly: Play your level from start to finish multiple times. Look for:
  • Unintended bugs or glitches.
  • Frustration points or unfair sections.
  • Synchronization issues with the music.
  • Hidden paths or secrets that might not be obvious.
• Verify Mode: This is crucial! You *must* complete your level in Normal mode from start to finish in one attempt before you can upload it. This proves the level is possible. The "Verify" button is located in the editor's pause menu, usually near the "Save and Play" options.
• Add a Description: A good description can entice players. Include:
  • A brief overview of the level's theme or style.
  • Any special mechanics or challenges.
  • Credits to collaborators or inspiration.
  • A friendly message to players.
• Select Difficulty: Accurately assign a difficulty rating (e.g., Easy, Normal, Hard, Harder, Insane, Demon). While the community can re-rate it, your initial assessment helps set expectations.
• Choose Music: Ensure you've selected the correct song for your level. If using custom music, make sure it's properly uploaded and linked.
