Update 1.8

Update 1.8 is an update in Geometry Dash that was released on August 7, 2014. It primarily added Hexagon Force, dual portals, and introduced slope ground objects.

Introductions
The most noticeable introduction into the full version was the addition of Hexagon Force, which was seen in the sneak peek of the update. This level marked the first appearance of the diagonal blocks, which allowed the icon to travel in different directions. Within Hexagon Force were the brand-new copy portals, which made way for the revolutionary dual character game mode. This mode required players to control multiple icons at once.

Outside of the new level, the 1.8 update introduced four new icons and several other colors. This included the achievements given for tapping the icons on the home screen. New kinds of spikes and decorations could also be added using level editor, while users could change the background theme from squares to hexagons or circles. More blocks were also added, as shown in the sneak peek. In level editor, creators can also add a character guide line showing the path of the character. It could also be made so that two players could play on the same screen, with both playing on different halves.

In Geometry Dash Lite, the level Jumper was introduced for the first time. It was also considered one of the easier insane levels in the full version, and became the second level in the free version to have an insane difficulty. In Update 1.9, the difficulty of Jumper was changed to harder, and Can't Let Go was changed to hard.

Trivia

 * In the level editor, the Dual Portal appears without the a line on the triangle, but if you play the level, Dual Portal appears normal, like all the other portals (but speed portals).
 * If you look closely at the sneak peek picture with the dual portals and slants, on the left side you can see a line going through the second type of slant, although this never happens in the game.
 * The third preview image, showing The Icons In Run(But One Of The Icons Is Left,In The Ground).This never happens in the game.However,It In The Game As One Of The Glitches.
