What Are Epic Levels?

Epic levels represent the second-highest level of recognition a creator can receive in Geometry Dash. Introduced to distinguish truly extraordinary work from "standard" featured content, an Epic rating is given to levels that push decoration, atmosphere, and innovation to their absolute limits.

Visually identified by a fiery, pulsing orange border, these levels often feature custom backgrounds, complex trigger sequences, and hand-drawn art. For many players, seeking out Epic levels is the best way to experience the artistic side of the GD community.

The Epic Standard

To achieve Epic status, a level must meet these rigorous criteria:

Visual Innovation

Unique art styles that haven't been seen before.

Perfect Sync

Gameplay that flows flawlessly with the soundtrack.

Atmospheric Depth

Using lighting and shaders to create a cohesive mood.

High Optimization

Delivering detail without causing lag for players.
