Geometry Dash Lite introductions
On 21 December 2017, Geometry Dash Lite was updated to 2.2 with the following:
- New level "Electroman Adventures"!
- Bug Fixes and tweaks
- Removed the "record" button from pause menu (that button does not exist in comp)
Trivia
- As of February 17, 2021, Update 2.2 has had the longest wait of any Geometry Dash update, at 4 years 1 month, or about 3 years 3 months if Updates 2.1 and 2.11 are considered separate.
- As of June 21, 2020, the Geometry Dash community has waited for half the game's existence for 2.2, or the waiting time for all other major updates combined.
- If not released before roughly February 20, 2022, this will include the waiting time for 2.11, meaning the main Geometry Dash game will have gone half of its entire existence without any updates to it whatsoever.
- If not released before April 30, 2022, this will also include the release of Geometry Dash SubZero, meaning that Geometry Dash as a franchise will have gone half of its existence without any official content updates whatsoever.
- Update 2.2 is currently the update with the most previews and sneak peeks.
- Update 2.2 was originally going to be a small update, but RobTop stated that "the update grew bigger as time went on."
- Update 2.11 was originally meant to be a small "pre-update", but it has been the latest update for over three years.
- There have been hacked/modified APKs (Android application packages, used to install and run apps) created by SMJS of Geometry Dash World, Geometry Dash SubZero, Geometry Dash Meltdown, and Geometry Dash Lite that allow usage of new 2.2 features.
- In these hacked versions, the camera triggers such as Static Camera are confirmed, as well as confirming that there is no object limit in 2.2.
- However, these versions don't include features such as the new gamemode, the new gauntlets, the multiplayer feature, or any new secrets, shops, or icons.
- RobTop started to reveal plans for 2.2 before 2.1 was even released, when he teased the new camera controls.
- He also has done this for Update 2.3 during 2.2's development, teasing another new gamemode.
- Update 2.2 will be the fourth consecutive update to feature a new game mode.
- Update 2.2 will be the biggest and probably heaviest update to Geometry Dash so far, with at least 65 new features.
- As of 7 Jan 2021, previews have been revealed of 48 icons, 5 ships, 6 balls, 1 UFO, 4 waves, 1 robot, 2 spiders and 5 swingcopters.
- At least one new preview has been revealed for each gamemode, including the new gamemode that is expected to release in 2.2.
- As stated by RobTop, if his plans go as expected, Update 2.2 should release for both Geometry Dash and Geometry Dash World before Christmas 2020, when another Geometry Dash standalone expansion was also talked about being released.
- However, this did not go to plan as expected; as of Christmas 2020 (25 December), 2.2 is apparently still yet to be released on application stores. RobTop has not confirmed if a new plan or deadline exists as of this date.
- The icon contest results for this update have several Easter Eggs referencing the Geometry Dash community, including:
- A number of famous creators and streamers represented by their icons, such as Juniper, Technical, AmorAltra, AeonAir, Viprin, and more.
- A sign labeled "PP" in the first results image, a reference to the level PP by AmorAltra.
- A building covered in yellow hexagons with faces in the first image, referencing C.S.Q.N. by Bluskys.
- A red circle character in the second results image resembling the character Jeremy from the level Your Brain on Drugs by Jayuff.
- A blue and white cube (Rafer) fishing a gray and red cube(Alkali) out of the water in the second image, a reference to the animations made for Rafer's levels In Silico and Sky Tower.
- A computer with a green smiley face in the second image, most likely a reference to Computer Talk by 1374.
- A large cat having a picnic in the second image, referencing Meow by BlowMyPooh.
- A volcano in the third image, representing Magma Bound by ScorchVX.
- The 3D-like wave from the level HOW by Spu7nix in the third image.
- The large lava monster from Haze N Blaze by Unzor in the third image.
- Multiple large characters in the background of the fourth image, referencing popular boss levels such as CastleMania, The Mayhem War, Better Than Reality, and Ultra Violence.
- One of the penguins and a slime from Mastergame by Serponge in the fourth image.
- Many 2.2 triggers and controls have been used in Geometry Dash SubZero.
- Many levels and layouts have had 2.2 features included in them, such as camera controls, reverse orbs and more. The creators of these layouts/levels used hacked APKs of Geometry Dash Subzero, Meltdown, Lite, or world, as mentioned before.
- A modified APK was released by Blaze, where the 2019 version of the 2.2 level editor can be accessed. There are many things inside of this editor which are not inside other 2.2 editors, such as more camera controls, pixel art blocks, and the new gamemode, among others.
- A download link to the modified APK is located inside of Blaze's Discord server.
