―Jakerz

WOODKID is an unrated 2.1 Extreme Demon collaboration hosted and published by Jakerz and verified by Joaquemix on 22 August 2021. It features a black-and-white theme, difficult gameplay and artwork in the background, depicting two demons, a tiger, a spinning object and a horse. According to Jakerz, his newest decorated version contains over 500,000 objects. Jakerz initially planned it to be the hardest level in the game but has since been heavily nerfed. WOODKID was later redone with updated decoration.

The level was set to be verified by [GD] Alex, but verification was transferred to Xanii before being cancelled altogether. The verification was transferred to a Uruguayan player named Joaquemix, who verified it.

Trivia[]

  • The level cannot be copied.
  • The level contains 520,969 objects.
  • The level is 1m 55s in length.
  • This level has three different versions: 2017, 2018 and 2021.
  • Jakerz has stated that this will be his final level and his hardest.
  • WOODKID gained popularity after DollarC and Jakerz showcased the level.
  • The original set verifier for WOODKID was BoldStep.
  • Many people compare WOODKID to Astral Divinity in quality due to their themes involving deities, eccentric decoration and fast-paced gameplay.
    • Jakerz has publicly stated his distaste for this comparison.
  • The song is an unmodified instrumental version of 'Run Boy Run' by French singer Yoann Lemoine, performing under the name 'Woodkid', the origin of the level's name.
    • The city art from the beginning of the level is inspired by the one from the song's music video.
  • BoldStep released a redecorated preview of WOODKID on 6 March 2018.[1]
  • The intro in the original preview for the finished decorated version is based on the first trailer to Avengers: Infinity War.
    • The Paramount Pictures opening is featured, despite Marvel Cinematic Universe films distributed by Walt Disney Studios since 'The Avengers'.
    • The apparent 'W' logo for the level is Wonder Woman's insignia as depicted in the character's 2017 film.
    • The video has been taken down due to a 'copyright claim by a third party'. It is presumably due to either the usage of 'Run Boy Run' or the aforementioned unauthorized usage of content relating to high-profile films.
    • The video was uploaded without the intro. The footage was modified with some art removed and switching from cinematic widescreen (as per the original video) to standard 1:85:1 (most Geometry Dash videos).
  • There has been controversy surrounding the fact that WOODKID's art is identical to (as it was mostly traced from) that of other artists, while there is a complete lack of credit on Jakerz's part.
    • Thus, for this reason, and that Woodkid (the author) specifically copyrighted this song, it is said by many people that WOODKID would never get rated.
  • Like most Jakerz levels (e.g. Osiris and Sysmique Locked), WOODKID has an extremely high object count.
  • The song is unusable now on Newgrounds, so the song was replaced with a remix.
  • On 8 January 2021, Jakerz released a completely reworked version of the level.[2] He stated he spent over 600 hours reworking, making massive changes to the gameplay, art and more.
  • During the original verification process by BoldStep, the level had to be force-nerfed because it was impossible.
  • This level went through several verifiers: Boldstep, [GD] Alex, Xanii and Joaquemix (previously unofficially).
  • Yoann Lemoine (Woodkid) also mentioned Jakerz on Twitter.[3] He seemed interested in the level.
  • On 12 April 2021, this level was released as an auto version.
    • It was Jakerz's original version before Jakerz released a newer version on YouTube. The level was revived and became the official version after Joaquemix rebalanced and nerfed it before becoming the new verifier.
    • This level will probably never be rated due to not getting permission from the author and requiring the 4GB patch.
  • Much like Ocular Miracle, Adrenaline, Khorne, Vivisection, CastleMania, True Values of Life, Black Flag, pointzero, Night Rider, Light It Up and Emerald Realm, this level will crash on many devices, corrupting some save files and making the level free.
  • After many controversies, Jakerz decided to retire from the community.
  • Many people accused Joaquemix of hacking the level's verification because of a moment where a sawblade slightly moves through Joaquemix's ship. At the time, Joaquemix used to believe it was Jakerz's mistake of corrupting the sawblade hitbox by scaling it in the level editor using hacks. However, he discovered it was a bug created by RobTop where rotating a sawblade would break its hitbox.
