Browser & Mobile Support

Bloodbath GD plays smoothly on Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. Best experience on desktop with a 144Hz monitor — competitive players use 240Hz for the tightest input timing. Mobile players can tap the screen to play; touch controls add roughly 50ms of input lag compared to keyboard.

Tips for First-Time Players

If you've never beaten an Extreme Demon, don't start with Bloodbath. Use practice mode first to memorize each segment before attempting full runs. Most legitimate first-time victors took between 8,000 and 30,000 attempts. This level rewards consistency, not raw skill.

Opening Ship

Bloodbath begins with a ship sequence continuing Cataclysm's visual style, transitioning into the red-and-black theme. Half-speed portal, double-speed cube, triple-speed ship with flashing gravity changes through a tight 1.5-block space, ending in a triple-speed mini-ball synced perfectly to the beat.

Ball Sequence

A triple-speed ship with frequent gravity changes leads into a half-speed ball segment with precise music-synced jumps. The screen flips mid-section into a crescendo of gravity portals — the first real test of orientation control for any Bloodbath player.

Cube Section

The pace slows into a grey-toned cube sequence with triple spikes and gravity changes. Includes a one-block-wide ship, narrow ball segment, tight UFO, and a flashing red MICHIGUN wave finale. One of the more forgiving sections for experienced players.

Wave Challenge

Dual-cube transition into a half-speed wave-like ship through spiked obstacles. The ship turns mini midway, leading into a mini-wave where the correct path is only visible through background flashes — a pure memorization checkpoint. Also the home of the iconic 'swag/quack' meme.

Triple-Speed Mini-Ship

The song shifts to D minor, the background turns blood-red. Triple-speed mini-ship through Clubstep-style monsters, half-speed cube respite, then back into high-speed flight. Considered by most players to be one of Bloodbath's most chaotic and dangerous sections.

UFO Sequence

Triple-speed mini-UFO through tight gaps with rapid size and gravity changes. Includes a memory-based mini-ball and a nine-blue-orb spam sequence reminiscent of Silent Clubstep. Demands near-perfect timing and spatial awareness throughout.

Ship Section

Triple-speed UFO landing on Etzer's name, followed by a normal-speed ship with a deceptive gravity portal. Home of the infamous 'crash at 79%' meme — the dark tunnel is one of the most feared and devastating moments in all of Bloodbath GD.

Ball & UFO

Ball segment with orbs placed inside and outside blocks, tricky timing, and invisible platforms. Triple-speed UFO with sawblades and arrow-guided paths, ending with a half-speed straight wave through a narrow path. Late-game pressure begins to mount heavily here.

Ship Sequence

Triple-speed upside-down ship with orb-dictated movement and 1.5-block spaces. Long normal-sized straight-fly tests pure consistency before transitioning into a half-speed dual-cube. A crash here after 88% is one of the most painful experiences in Geometry Dash.

Final Stretch

Half-speed ball with red platforms and the words 'your blood' fading in on screen. Blue orb into a brief UFO, then an upside-down straight-fly with massive late-game crash potential. The final ball contains numerous fake blocks designed to punish uncareful players.

The Ending

Semi-auto cube with 'GG' above and 'RIOT' below. The final triple spikes — miss them and you crash at 98% or 99%, the single most heartbreaking fail location in the game. Cross this line and you've conquered one of Geometry Dash history's greatest Extreme Demons.

Creation & Verification

Riot uploaded the first preview on June 2, 2015. After two months of progression — 48% on June 26, 65% on August 3, a brutal 94% crash on August 8 — Riot finally verified Bloodbath on August 12, 2015, after over 25,000 attempts. The level instantly claimed the top spot on the Demonlist.

The Race to Beat Bloodbath

Following verification, the community launched a seven-month race. The most famous rivalry was between Surv and Quasar — Surv crashed at a heartbreaking 96% on March 6, 2016, while Quasar became the first victor on March 14, 2016, after over 28,000 attempts.

Legacy on the Demonlist

Bloodbath held the #1 Demonlist position for over a year, until Sakupen Hell dethroned it on August 14, 2016. It remained in the Top 50 for nearly 40 months. On January 29, 2021, Alpha Baa X's placement pushed Bloodbath into the Legacy List, ending its legendary 1,997-day reign.

Who Made Geometry Dash?

Geometry Dash was developed by Robert Topala, a Swedish developer operating as RobTop Games. Released in August 2013 for iOS and Android, it later expanded to Windows and macOS. Robert Topala remains the sole developer behind all updates, including spin-offs: Geometry Dash Lite, Meltdown, World, and SubZero.

Who Made Bloodbath?

While the Geometry Dash engine belongs to RobTop Games, Bloodbath is a community-created level. It was hosted, verified, and published by Riot, with individual sections designed by weoweoteo, Vermillion, Michigun, Evasium, Crack, ASonicMen, Etzer, Havok, Giron, and Ggb0y. All credit for the level design belongs to these creators.

The Geometry Dash Community

Bloodbath exemplifies what makes the Geometry Dash community special — it's not just a game, but a creative platform. Players design levels using the in-game editor, share them through RobTop's servers, and the most legendary creations become cultural milestones tracked by the community-maintained Geometry Dash Demonlist.
