Leaderboard

The Leaderboard is a feature in Geometry Dash that was introduced in Update 1.3. This is designed to show your progress and statistics of the players globally. The global ranking is determined by stars.

About
This feature shows your Stars, Secret Coins, User Coins, Demons and Creator Points. There are four different tabs; these are:


 * Top 100: This shows a list of the top 100 players ranked by the amount of stars they have.
 * Friends: This shows your stats compared to everyone on your friends list. This leaderboard was introduced in Update 2.0 replacing the Top Week leaderboard.
 * Top Week (only before 2.0): This showed players that gained the most stars in a week. This leaderboard was updated every week.
 * Global: This shows your global ranking (judged by how many stars you have) along with your statistics compared to other players within 25 spaces above or below you.
 * Creators: This shows the top 100 creators based on how many star rated and/or featured levels they have published. Their position is set up by the amount of points (often referred to as creator points and are represented by a hammer and a wrench crossing each other) they gather from online levels built by them that get featured and/or star rated. Featured levels are worth 2 points, while star rated levels that are not featured worth just 1 point. You can see the creator's levels by clicking their name and then clicking the 'my levels' button.

Trivia

 * On August 15, 2015, the Geometry Dash servers were severely hacked, leading to a massive amount of accounts being renamed. This was mostly shown in the tabs Top 100 and Creators, showing off accounts with the name "Exploit" and the default cube in both lime green colors with the rainbow effect on. The person behind the hacking was actually mgostIH (a player well known for creating a speedhack bypass), who said it was an accident.
 * Around 1/6/16 the Top 100 leaderboard was hacked again where some people had a certain icon and their recent post as "#Clink"
