Geometry Dash streamer Doggie has suffered a crushing 97% fail on GRIEF after two years and more than 400,000 attempts at what is expected to become the hardest level ever completed in the game.
GRIEF is one of Geometry Dash’s most anticipated upcoming Top 1 Extreme Demons, hosted by icedcave and designed as a prequel to Slaughterhouse, the former hardest level that Doggie verified in 2021.
The level has not been officially verified yet, meaning it cannot be uploaded and ranked on the Demonlist until someone completes it from 0% to 100%. As of June 14, 2026, Pointercrate lists Thinking Space II as the current hardest-rated level in Geometry Dash, followed by Flamewall, Amethyst, and Tidal Wave.
Doggie has been grinding GRIEF since May 2024, slowly building consistency across hundreds of streams. According to the Geometry Dash Fan Wiki’s progress log, he hit 84% on May 7, 2026, after six months without beating his previous 83% best. On June 14, he reached 97% during his 361st GRIEF stream.
Doggie dies at 97% on GRIEF
For anyone unfamiliar with Geometry Dash, the clip is difficult to understand at first glance. The level’s challenge comes down to extremely small input windows, where every click or release has to happen within a tiny number of frames.
A breakdown shared by the community claims GRIEF contains 652 major inputs on 240 FPS, including two inputs with only a two-frame window, 20 with a three-frame window, 71 with a four-frame window, and 85 with a five-frame window.
Even the input Doggie died was only considered more forgiving by GRIEF standards. On 240 FPS, the frame rate used by many top players, including Doggie, the release reportedly had a six-frame window, giving him just 1/40th of a second to survive. Releasing any earlier or later instantly kills the run.
That makes the 97% fail especially brutal. Doggie’s previous best was 84%, so reaching the final stretch was already a massive jump from his prior record, adding even more pressure once he realized he had a real chance to finish the level.
The fail quickly spread across the Geometry Dash community, where fans debated the constant use of “hardest level ever” for extreme clips. However, several players argued GRIEF is different, claiming there is “zero doubt” it is a major step above anything already completed.
Doggie has not verified GRIEF yet, but the 97% death rate is already one of the biggest moments in the level’s two-year grind. If he finishes it, GRIEF is expected to immediately challenge for the top spot in Geometry Dash history.
