Youngdefiant, aka the king of gaming, the king of YouTube, the realest gamer on the internet, the 100% fact spitter, the higher level thinker, the leader of the real gamer movement, the king of anime, the king of manga, and the one who's better than you in every way, has once again returned to deliver the facts, has once again returned to deliver the greatness. Even though you losers on this Hyperbolus website simply do not deserve it.

Once again, the king of gaming, the pioneer of taste, the one who stands atop the crumbling ruins of this trash-ass community, has returned to educate you peasants on what actual greatness looks like in Geometry Dash. And today, I'm talking about a level that isn't just a level — it’s a movement. A revolution. A slap to the face of every corny creator pushing out soulless, click-spam garbage.

I’m talking about Pumped Up Kicks by Quiken.

10/10. Instant classic. No debate. No room for argument. And if you disagree? You're wrong. And not just a little wrong. Like, you-still-think-SubZero-was-a-good-update levels of wrong.

First off, the level uses Pumped Up Kicks by Foster the People, and I already know some of you basic clowns are gonna whine, “But Young, that’s like mainstream music, bro.” Shut up. That song hits harder than your favorite creator’s entire catalog. It’s the kind of track that makes you nostalgic for something you never even experienced. Quiken didn’t just choose a banger — he elevated it. Turned it into a visual and mechanical masterpiece.

Now let’s talk gameplay, because unlike 99% of these washed-up creators out here, Quiken understands design. At around 48%, there is a frame perfect orb timing that had me leaning forward in my throne. That’s right — frame perfect. Not “kinda hard.” Not “challenging if you’re bad.” I’m talking real precision. That moment separates the gamers from the button mashers. That timing is a rite of passage. You don’t pass it, you don’t belong.

But wait — it gets better. This level features a part by none other than the best Geometry Dash YouTuber of all time, GuitarHeroStyles. The GOAT. The legend. The man who carried this entire community on his back while the rest of you were too busy fawning over glow spam and fake difficulty. The second his part kicked in, I ascended. I felt my IQ rise. My chakras aligned. My enemies were vanquished.

So what do we have here?

🔥 A god-tier music choice.
🔥 Flawless sync.
🔥 One of the hardest and most satisfying orb timings in modern GD.
🔥 A collab with a living legend.
🔥 All wrapped in clean, high-effort visuals that don’t rely on seizure-inducing filters.

Meanwhile, your favorite creators still out here copying each other’s glow spam and uploading 3-minute transitions to nowhere. Sad!

Pumped Up Kicks isn’t just a level. It’s a flex. It’s a statement. And above all else — it’s art. And if you can’t see that, then once again, you’ve proven yourself unworthy of greatness. Keep playing your layout challenges. I’ll be over here playing the future.

Bow before the throne. Bow before Pumped Up Kicks. 10/10.
