* PressXToNotDie: Downplayed in [=Totalpro64=] Missing Cookies. Totalpro's EleventhHourSuperpower is activated by pressing the space bar after a prompt appropriately labeled "press space to beat the game". If you don't press it immediately, the cut-scene simply stays paused until you do with no consequences - but there is an EasterEgg where some frustrated text appears if you wait long enough.

When that does nothing, Cubix mentions that the two of them are [[BreakingTheFourthWall in a project where something might be about to happen]] just before [=Evil Totalpro64=] appears and captures them both.

--->-[[https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/129013894/ (Trailer) Geometry Dash Episodes]]
''Geometry Dash Episodes'', also known as ''GDE'', is a series of Website/{{Scratch}} projects based on ''VideoGame/GeometryDash''. The series was created by Scratch users alexis_reece[[note]]known outside of the site as Terminace[[/note]] and andrew_endres as a comic, but grew over time to also include animations and games created in Scratch.
''GDE'' features a cast largely made up of its contributors' [[AuthorAvatar author avatars]], but all episodes feature its main character: the KindheartedSimpleton [=Totalpro64=], a ''Geometry Dash'' {{Noob}} who can only beat the game's first level after one million attempts. Episodes began with him trying (and failing) to beat levels, but eventually expanded beyond this to include any situations he went through in its setting of the planet Geometrica.
All projects in the series can be found [[https://scratch.mit.edu/studios/3627165/comments here]].

!! ''Geometry Dash Episodes'' contains examples of:
* AbortedArc: [[https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/416478112/ GDE - The Canon Ending ]] has this PlayedForLaughs. It effectively replaces and aborts the StoryArc leading up to the finale of the series. [[spoiler:After Terra invites everyone over to her house to show off a gun that can turn anything into a sponge, [=Totalpro64=] jumps in the way and is turned into one. Somehow, everyone is fine with that and ''Geometry Dash Episodes'' ends with the group playing ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'' while completely unbothered.]]
* AlienInvasion: [[https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/265802572/ The Cookie Thieves]] is about aliens arriving in Geometrica to steal cookies. Given that they're threatening [=Totalpro64=]'s TrademarkFavoriteFood and are easily defeated with a GoombaStomp, they [[EasilyThwartedAlienInvasion don't last long]].

* AprilFoolsDay:
** April 1, 2020 had [[https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/381852690 GDETale]], a fake game apparently combining the series with ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}''.
** [[https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/785762256/ GDE: DXL's Store]] was released on April 1, 2023. Though not a joke in itself, it was released three years after The Canon Ending after being worked on in secret.
* AprilFoolsPlot: [[https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/208526433/ GD Shorts: The April Fool]] follows [=Redcap21=] as he pranks several others in Geometrica on April Fool's Day.
* ArcNumber: The number "421" during the (now [[AbortedArc aborted]]) Finale Arc, representing the "targets" of someone approaching Geometrica from space.
* AudienceParticipation: GDE: Retray was created with votes deciding on several story events and actions by [=Totalpro64=]. Its sequel continues this with [=Saul_Demongamer47=], an insert character the audience created themselves, entering the episode FromBeyondTheFourthWall to help [=Totalpro64=].
* AuthorAvatar: There are more author avatars than other characters in the series - the main character [=Totalpro64=] is usually one of few characters in an episode to ''not'' be one. Often, people creating an episode will include at least their own avatar in it.
* BiggerOnTheInside: [=Totalpro64=]'s "infinite" cookie supply box is barely larger than he is from the outside, but is big enough for him to jump inside and explore in the game [[https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/326200269/ Totalpro64 Missing Cookies]].
* BreakingTheFourthWall:
** [=Totalpro64's=] own catchphrase of "What if I tap?" is a fourth wall break, as tapping the screen is how you jump in ''Geometry Dash'' and Geometrica is a world based on it. [[spoiler:It gets [[ExploitingTheFourthWall exploited]] in Retray 2, where he says it to summon a giant hand.]]
** DXL's Store ends with [[spoiler:Skelecube directly talking to the audience and explaining what the post-credits flashback meant with a WallOfText]].
* CharacterBlog: [[https://scratch.mit.edu/users/totalpro64/ Totalpro64]] and [[https://scratch.mit.edu/users/iamblockblock/ Blockblock]] both have their own Scratch accounts, which act in-character and have even been used to upload some projects for the series.
* CharacterCatchphrase: "What if I tap?" for [=Totalpro64=]. Often used when he's trying to think of a way to solve a problem or get around an obstacle.
* {{Crossover}}:
** [[https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/356730808 The Geometric Side Dish]] is a crossover with ''Geometric Tales'', another series of Scratch comics based on ''Geometry Dash''.
** [[https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/239490035 Totalpro Star Allies]] crosses the series over with ''VideoGame/KirbyStarAllies''.
** [[https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/154788748 Totalpro64 Plays Portal]], naturally, puts [=Totalpro64=] in the world of ''VideoGame/{{Portal}}''.
* DeliciousDistraction: [=Totalpro64=] is easily distracted by cookies. In The Canon Ending, [[spoiler:this ends up getting him turned into a sponge as he jumps to eat a cookie Terra was testing her new gun with]].
* EvilDoppelganger: ''GDE'' turns the clones created by the Dual portal in the base game ''Geometry Dash'' into these. Evil [=Totalpro64=] is typically the most prominent example, but similar "evil" versions exist of other characters have appeared as well.
** The character Reverse Flickflock exaggerates this. Flickflock is already evil, so his clone Reverse Flickflock is even more hostile to the point of [[NoIndoorVoice always yelling with rage in capitalized text]].
* FlashbackEffects: [[spoiler:A flashback [=Totalpro64=] has at the end of GDE: DXL's Store depicts the end of The Canon Ending in a shadowy style with gradients backdropping it. A flash along with text saying "YEARS LATER" transitions from the flashback into the present day.]]
* IronicName: [=Totalpro64=] is anything but a pro at ''Geometry Dash''.
* TheTower: The Tower of Idiots is an extremely large tower with at least 100 floors including apartments, a library, and food court.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: [=Totalpro64=] is obsessed with cookies. He has a "seemingly infinite" supply of them, and many conflicts he ends up that aren't related to ''Geometry Dash'' levels involve cookies somehow.
