Welcome to the Build Battles website!
This is the official website related to Geometry Dash's Build Battles community project, a fan-made "game mode" that aims to create a new form of entertainment for level creators (and players too!) through a competitive gameplay system.
This website provides a short guide on how to play ranked battles, explaining its' core elements and basic aspects. We also store a list of items you can collect throughout the game, previously held events, challenges and tournaments. You can find more info about all of these in Gameplay. [Still have to work on these pages, but they're coming soon... trust me]

Where can I do these battles?
For the time being, the entire gameplay aspect of this project is managed by our Discord bot Asper, which is able to organize battles with other people through a particular matchmaking system. Considering that the project is in its' early phase, Asper is only usable in the official Discord server of Build Battles for now. We might allow other big community servers to use it in the future, though.
A short backstory (and a personal message)
While build battles might have been held in the past between some creators, especially with Wulzy's series, this project actually stems from the concept of Creator Battles, a series of Twitch livestreams hosted by Viprin in late 2020. Since then, I've always wanted to find a way to make those battles easily organizable between people, with an additional spice to them to make the experience a bit more interesting... like an entire competitive system.
In late 2022 I started working on the concept of this system for Build Battles, showcasing the idea of Battle Points to friends and mutuals. Shortly after, I was able to interest two people in particular to make all of this possible, Flaks45 and Luar77. They both helped me A TON with this project, carrying all the stuff I couldn't work on because of my lack of coding skills. Give them all the love and support you could ever give to someone, because they damn well deserve it! ♥︎
Also, special thanks to our side coders playeruan and TechStudent10, who helped the team with polishing and making some other useful commands. As well, thanks to our development helpers - msm12, melX0exe, TheYuriy - and all the "Early Access" people, who helped us with playtesting all the features of this bot every now and then. Thank you all, and have fun playing with Build Battles!
