In the beta version, the game was called Geometry Jump, but was suddenly changed.
Upon its release, Geometry Dash had just seven levels, which are now currently free to play on the game's free version, alongside four other levels released in later updates in the full version (Time Machine, Cycles, xStep, and Clutterfunk). It would soon gain serious popularity around the world, especially Canada, where it achieved the title as the most popular paid iPhone app in June 2014.[4] There are three free versions of the game, one being "Geometry Dash Lite" which currently (as of update 2.2) includes the first 11 levels from the full version, "Geometry Dash Meltdown" which currently (as of update 1.0) includes 3 levels with new 2.1 icons made to showcase the 2.0 features to those who do not own the full version, and "Geometry Dash World" which currently (as of update 1.0) includes 2 worlds with 5 levels in each world, new 2.1 icons, a shop, a new vault, daily quests,
