Geometry Jump: Pre-Release (April 2013)
Geometry Jump was a prototype for Geometry Dash. It contained a level that is now deleted,Ultimate Destruction, which featured asong of the same name by TMM43.
The level was never actuallyimplemented into the final game due to copyright issues with the song's creator. The level was remixedand turned into what is now known as Base After Base using the songBase After Base by DJVI.According to Geometry Dash creator Robert Topala of RobTop Games, theoriginal level might have a chance at getting in the game, but it's doubtful.Note the typo in the word Ultimate, spelled as "Ultiate" in the game.
