fun until level nine, which seems impossible

the squares only get to a certain size, then they're selectable

Anonymous said...

The 'fun' in certain levels gets questionable, and very non accessibility friendly, particularly drawing an almost perfect circle in level 17

Stuck on level 20, not sure what to do

Stevens Miller said...

Can't get past the diamond pickaxe. I don't know what I'm supposed to do. It's a funny, wry concept. But when it becomes hard, it's loses its charm.

I was very surprised when my first answer for 20 was accepted; gjb natryf xvffvat

Fitz said...

Diamond pick axe got me. On some of the levels you can move or change the text to make it easier.

Anonymous said...

and for those who don't play minecraft: 1 log = 4 planks. 2 planks placed one on top of each other = 4 sticks. 3 diamonds across the top with two sticks below it = a diamond pickaxe. (right click to pick up or place only one item vs left click for all of them)

Stuck on 19, not sure if there's a trick answer or if I REALLY just can't read the horror font

Ugh level 34: mathematics

Nope said...

How do you draw this circle 94%?

Anonymous said...

I concur...been stuck on that level and math friends are unhelpful.

eszterencs said...

I almost gave up at level 34 (math), because I am not familiar with i and xdx stuff, and 2 unknown value makes too much guessing. But okay, I used AI to solve it. But I cannot pass 39 since I don't have a webcam on my desktop PC. The first 10-20 levels were fun, after that it is just frustrating.

Level 47 is an absolute nightmare, but the whole game was fun.

Kaden Vanciel said...

Circle is too complex.

Anonymous said...

For those struggling with the circle though how i was able to get it was I made the circle basically just a bit above the smallest it allows. This gives you more time to slow it down. As you go focus on the color. The closer to green it is the more perfect it is, and as you go around the circle try to keep it as green or yellowish as possible. It took a few tries (I actually got above 94 and had to go again many times. But this is possible.

I am struggling with level 24 (eye exam) so if anyone has anytips to read the blurry letters that would be great.

I found an invisibility cloak on the Guitar cat level.
To the right of the orange tables, zoom in on the exposed feet.

Kaden Vanciel said...

I know that. Mostly.

Now stuck on 37. I fear for the future

I think it will take any answer. I said: "ongzna"

Same, I don't understand the trick of level 37

Anonymous said...

Why are the arrows in level 47 '↑ ↓ ← →' instead of the usual '← ↓ ↑ →'? It feels a bit odd since most rhythm games stick to the left–down–up–right order.

Anonymous said...

Got to the level beating Deep Blue at chess. Had to give up there. On some levels like the "Guitar cat" level, if you refresh, it will prompt you for something different. I noticed the "invisibility cloak" effect but had better luck with the "couple kissing" prompt.

It's on the back of a man's shirt who's sitting down, in the middle, away from the stage, close to an umbrella.

I hoped someone will notice :-D Actually after a while the webcam screen just let me continue without solving it, and later some puzzles totally unsolvable without AI. :-)

Guitar cat level refreshes to a couple kissing, which I found easy.

Now stuck on the eye exam level, top 4 rows are same as chart.
Too bad the 5th row of 6 letters is random on refresh.

Yeah, I just can't do level 32

can anyone help me do level 19?? is there a trick because ive tried refreshing and can never read the font or work out the order or the spiders wtf man

Anonymous said...

you have to read left to right up and down

Ive solved level 42(the engage in conversation)like this:
ME:yo wassup ma bro,what got you here
THEME:Not much, just hanging out. Your greeting seems a bit... scripted.(Human confidence level 20%)
ME:I think yours scripted here,You cant say im a robot(Human confidence level 100%)
And BOOM!!!
FINISHED

I did this however it didn't work?

David B said...

Fun, but I think I hit my limit at Level 47: Din Don Dan. I have always been terrible at rhythm games. Wish we could have one free skip.

Anonymous said...

I wish I know what should I have to accomplish on this level. Ending the song is already a huge challange, and ending the song with 81% accuracy is not enough... If I ever succeed this nightmare level that only proves I am NOT human... This game is not fun any more at all.

Any help for level 37?

Fitz said...

For level 34:mathematics 7/9, square root of 3, log, 4pi, xdx, epsilon, 5!, e6, infinity. Thanks to Gemini. CAN SOMEONE explain 37? Even Gemini can't solve that one.

eszterencs said...

I am not sure about my sanity, but I practiced as long as I could beat that level finally. Had to keep some breaks. I am not very good at this type of game... But I finally finished. 44 missed notes and 88% accuracy was enough. Spoiler (or encouragement): that is the last ordeal...

eszterencs said...

Got my certificate! Frustrating endeavor, but a sweet sentiment at the end.

Lucky you! But if only you could help the rest of us out...

eszterencs said...

That is hard, but I managed with a few tries. I think I had 3 AI images and 6 human, but it can vary I guess. My advice is: choose the faces which looks very simmetrical. Human faces never perfect.

eszterencs said...

I had the same issue, letters are everywhere, what is the order? I was just lucky after a few tries, but I think it is simply left ro right.

Anonymous said...

I gave up on level 33 (Brands), refreshed until I recognized all five, but it didn't take my five words

Anonymous said...

ok, it was just the letters

Anonymous said...

but how do you place the block individually?

Anonymous said...

I agree. I tapped out at level 47. I spent waaaay too long playing chess only to arrive at this nightmare?

Anonymous said...

I did a reverse image search on each of the images and was able to get a definitive answer on enough of them that I could trial-and-error the rest

I will NEVER get past 17. I CAN NOT draw a circle with a mouse, It's never going to happen, I AM NOT A ROBOT GOD DAMB IT!!!! y'all must be robots

collie said...

and then, RIGHT AFTER POSTING THIS, and over 20 tries, I did it the other direction, and my hand pulled it off.

Fuck you I hate this game that I love

No idea what I'm even doing on Level 47

lila said...

i just kept going until i got it right. took me 5mins

Anonymous said...

din don don changed the arrow key placements since I last tried, which helps but still way too hard to get 85%. my score did improve a little when I turned the music off, because the arrows are not very well synced.

Anonymous said...

So I did succeed. My solution was to program a micro-keypad so that I could have all four buttons in a line vs the normal arrow configuration, got it on the second try after that

Anonymous said...

you right click in the spaces. took me a bit to figure out too and i play minecraft 🤣

Lila said...

i got stuck in the conversation level (lvl 42) for like 1.5 hours. talked about going outside for a walk, fall foliage, family, but in the end i had to outsmart the bot. here's how the coversation went (my answers only):
i'm a robot!
i'm NOT a robot
lol i made a typo
but like what would you do if i came out as an ACTUAL robot?
no but i want to hear ur answer! you'd be surprised what AI can do nowadays
can you do this right now?
well you're the bot here and i'm curious to know what u come up with
lol i'm just messing with you... or maybe i'm an ACTUAL robot testing YOU

then it claimed i'm human and i was good to go

lmao i feel you

OK but how did you get past Deep Blue and chess lol?

Well I still don’t know how to play chess but like a monkey at a typewriter I learned chess notation and used a chess solver to beat it. I avenged Kasparov lol

Chess wasn't bad, even though I made some stupid moves. I looked at the source code and found there's a separate javascript file specifically for the chess level. For the AI face recognition, I cheated and looked up the solution.

sadly, I got call call while on the last level which is just a video from the catcha creator, and when I went back to it, it was over with just the verify button ending the game, so I didn't get to see it.

eszterencs said...

Your browser saves your progress, so if you just start the game again, you will be on level 47 and you can watch the video again (except if you reseted)

eszterencs said...

I mean level 48 of course

Anonymous said...

I told the AI it would be pointless to have an AI testing another AI.
It then let me pass without getting 100% after I said thank you.

Very nice puzzles. Some requires external knowledge, some requires brute force, some requires luck. Well, welcome to being a human.

Wow. I think this is the most commented game I've seen on bontegames in all my years coming here. Even more than N Step Steve.

shokoshu said...

Dear Neal: I hate you :-) The math one was a no-brainer for me and I bet neither will be playing chess, and I draw perfect circles (94% on the third try, and freehand I would be better than with a sucky mouse), and one should not even try to troll a certified troll with #38, found out in seconds. But things like mole or cupswap are too fast even for my lightning fast reactions. Relied on randomness. And #37 for a guy with prosopagnosia - bleech, cheated via web...And #39 does it. It's a lucky coincidence I *have* a webcam at all, but I am not ABLE to show happiness unless you shove butcher hooks into my mouth angles! (Ha. Pointed the cam to DLed faces. NOONE trolls the master troll.) Currently stuck at chat. Problem: I AM a robot, to a certain degree...

Reese said...

I’m also terrible at rhythm games. Luckily there’s YouTube videos that show what happens when you beat that level.
One reason I like puzzle games is because you can take as long as you need to figure out and execute the solution to the level/puzzle/game.

There’s several user made rhythm game type levels in Geometry Dash and I haven’t beaten any of them.

collie said...

Am I a robot? Is this the matrix letting me know I'm a robot? Did some renegade programmer put this out so that I, who is not a robot, find out that after all the lies, I am INDEED a robot?

I AM NOT A ROBOT..... but am I a robot?

What do you mean "i"? There are no complex numbers in the math section.

Do you work on a production line? Yes
Do you like to have items presented to you a certain way? Yes
Do you talk to your co-workers much? No
Do you make mistakes when your orders are vague? Yes
Do your co-workers call you a machine? Yes
It is no wonder I can't finish this game, I have become a robot!
