Collectibles are a major component of Geometry Dash while having limited availability in the spinoff games. The various types of collectibles are used as either progress indicators or currency throughout the game. They can contribute towards unlocking content such as achievements, icons, levels, and secret content for the player to find and experience.
Stars were introduced in Update 1.3 and are present in all Geometry Dash games. Completing any level in normal mode, with the exception of user levels which have not received a star rating, will reward a set number of stars. They are also rewarded for completing map packs, in addition to those rewarded for completing the included levels. Stars contribute towards unlocking icons and achievements, progressing paths, as well as determining placement on the Leaderboards.

Secret coins were introduced in Update 1.6 and are present in all Geometry Dash games. They are collected within main levels during gameplay and obtained by completing map packs. For those within levels, although it is not necessary to collect all three secret coins in one attempt, they will be lost if crashing before reaching the level's end. Once successfully collected, secret coins will be replaced by white outlines on subsequent attempts. They cannot be collected in practice mode. Secret coins contribute towards unlocking icons and achievements, as well as the Demon difficulty main levels.

Secret coin locations
User coins were introduced in Update 2.0 and are present in Geometry Dash, Geometry Dash Lite, and Geometry Dash World. They serve the purpose of secret coins for user levels and function almost identically. They contribute towards unlocking icons and achievements, as well as the Vault.
Up to three user coins are offered for use in the level editor. It is required that they are able to be collected as part of the level verification process. Upon submitting a user level that includes user coins, their colour will initially start as bronze and they will not count towards a player's user coin tally. After being verified by a level moderator, their colour will convert to silver and count towards a player's user coin tally.
User coins can be viewed from the Icon Kit and stats record. Secret coins are visible to other players from a user profile and from the Leaderboards.
Mana orbs were introduced in Update 2.1 and are present in Geometry Dash, Geometry Dash Lite, and Geometry Dash World. They serve as currency and are used to purchase items from each of the shops. A player's current total can be viewed from the Icon Kit or from a shop. The lifetime total of accumulated mana orbs can be viewed from the stats record. Mana orbs are not visible to other players.
Mana orbs are accumulated by:
- Opening the daily chests.
- Opening chests from the Treasure Room.
- Opening the chest after beating the weekly demon.
- Completing the Bonus Gauntlet.
- Completing gauntlets that normally reward a type of shard while already having 100 of that shard.
- Watching advertisements from the shop (Geometry Dash Lite and World only).
- Making forward progress on levels that received a star rating with a difficulty higher than Auto, accordingly scaled per difficulty as follows:
Difficulty | Orbs per % | Orbs on completion | Total |
---|---|---|---|
Easy | 0.4 | 10 | 50 |
Normal | 0.6 | 15 | 75 |
Hard | 1 | 25 | 125 |
1.4 | 35 | 175 | |
Harder | 1.8 | 45 | 225 |
2.2 | 55 | 275 | |
Insane | 2.8 | 70 | 350 |
3.4 | 85 | 425 | |
Demon | 4 | 100 | 500 |
Trivia
- The formula for calculating the amount of mana orbs collected is (total orbs * 0.8 * percentage / 100) rounded down to the nearest whole number.
- Example: If a level has a difficulty of insane (350 orbs) and you crash at 46%, the amount of orbs you will receive is 128 (350 * 0.8 * 46 / 100 = ⌊128.8⌋ = 128).
- Due to platformer levels being unable to track progress the same way as classic levels, all orbs from a platformer level will be granted at once upon completion.
Diamonds were introduced in Update 2.1 and are present in Geometry Dash, Geometry Dash Lite, and Geometry Dash World. Diamonds contribute towards unlocking icons and achievements, as well as the Vault of Secrets, the secret level The Challenge, and the extra shops in the Treasure Room. They are visible to other players from a user profile and from the Leaderboards.
In Update 2.2, a related currency called Diamond Shards was added; each Diamond earned also grants a Diamond Shard. Diamond Shards can be used to purchase items from the Diamond Shop.
Diamonds are obtained by:
- Opening the daily chests.
- Completing the daily quests.
- Opening the chest after beating the weekly demon.
- Opening chests from the Treasure Room.
- Playing levels from gauntlets.
- Completing the Paths.
- Making forward progress in as well as completing the daily level or weekly demon, accordingly scaled per difficulty as follows:
Difficulty | % per diamond | Total |
---|---|---|
Easy | 25 | 4 |
Normal | 20 | 5 |
Hard | 16.67 | 6 |
14.3 | 7 | |
Harder | 12.5 | 8 |
11.11 | 9 | |
Insane | 10 | 10 |
9.09 | 11 | |
Demon | 8.33 | 12 |
Trivia
- The number of diamonds a level grants you is always the star count plus two, with the only exceptions being unrated and auto levels, both of which provide 0 diamonds.
Demon Keys were introduced in Update 2.1 and are present in Geometry Dash, Geometry Dash Lite, and Geometry Dash World. They are obtained either from daily chests or by surpassing an interval of 500 mana orbs, equivalent to beating a single Demon level. They are also obtainable via the final chests of some Paths and Gauntlets.
Demon Keys unlock the Treasure Room, and this is the only place that they can be viewed. There are six different levels of chests split into two tiers, each requiring a different number of keys to open. In order, they cost 1, 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 keys to open a single chest of each level. Even after opening all the chests, players will still be able to receive Demon Keys, though they are useless past this point.
Gold Keys are similar to demon keys in that they are used to unlock chests in the Treasure Room, however they are used to unlock gold chests instead. They can be obtained in reward chests from Demon Event Levels. They can only be viewed on the fourth page of the Treasure Room, where they can be used to unlock the gold chests on that page.
There are also special coloured keys for which there is just one of each. Green, blue and orange keys are used to remove the locks in the Basement, while a purple key is used to unlock the Demon Gauntlet. After being obtained but before being used, there is no way to view which keys are in possession.
Shards, formally Shards of Power, were introduced in Update 2.1 and are present in Geometry Dash, Geometry Dash Lite, and Geometry Dash World. Ten types of shards exist, split into two tiers; the first tier, introduced in Update 2.1, is made up of fire, ice, poison, shadow, and lava, and the second tier, introduced in Update 2.2, is made up of earth, blood, metal, light, and soul. They are viewed from the Shards of Power menu through the Icon Kit where associated rewards are also displayed. Each type of shard individually contributes towards unlocking icons and achievements. Additional bonus unlocks are unlockable for each tier, with progress based on the lowest number of any shard in a tier owned (i.e. you must have a certain number of every shard type in a tier to unlock the relevant bonus unlock).
Up to 100 of each shard can be obtained, after which any shards of that type will be automatically converted to 100 mana orbs.
Shards are obtained by:
- Opening daily chests.
- Opening chests from the Treasure Room.
- Opening the chest after beating the weekly demon.
- Completing the corresponding gauntlet.
- Completing the corresponding Paths.
The Demon difficulty rating was introduced in Update 1.3, and Demon sub-difficulties were introduced in Update 2.1. Although not an actual collectible, a player’s number of completed Demon difficulty levels can be viewed from the stats record, as well as by other players from a user profile and from the Leaderboards. Completing demon levels in Normal mode contributes towards unlocking icons and achievements.
Sub-difficulties only provide an indication of difficulty and do not provide different rewards on completion, though they can be viewed on user profiles. While the main Demon difficulty is determined by RobTop, like all other levels, sub-difficulties are determined by community votes. All demons default as Hard Demon rating, and then get their sub-difficulties after enough community votes.
When a custom level is rated by Robert Topala, Creator points are awarded to the account who uploaded it. Depending on the level's rating, the amount of creator points it awards varies:
- One creator point is awarded if a level is given a star/moon rating.
- Two creator points are awarded if the level is Featured.
- Three creator points are awarded if the level is given an Epic rating.
- Four creator points are awarded if the level is given a Legendary rating.
- Five creator points are awarded if the level is given a Mythic rating.
Earning at least one creator point completes the "Geometry Star" achievement.
