The beauty of Geometry Dash is its living history. You can still feel the DNA of Version 1.0 in every jump of Version 2.2. Whether you are a veteran who remembers verifying demons in 1.9 or a new player swinging through Platformer Mode for the first time, the debate over the "top version" is subjective.
: Early "top" levels were limited by a lack of speed portals, mini modes, or the wave. A "Top 1" from this era might only be considered an Easy 9-star level today.
