It has been around six years since the release of Geometry Dash 2.1, but RopTop continues to release new teasers for Geometry Dash 2.2. This guide will serve the purpose of documenting all teasers for Geometry Dash 2.2 until it is released!

Note: This guide may miss some minor teasers. Please refer to the comments to suggest teasers that aren't mentioned. Additionally, some things may be incorrect or misinterpreted by accident. This guide was not made to mislead any players, it only serves as a compilation for new and returning players.

• Showcases the new gamemode, dubbed "Swingcopter" or "Swing Copter" by the community due to lack of an official name.

• Introduces a random trigger that selects one (or multiple) option out of various options.

• Zoom in or out of point of view.
  
• Offset the camera (more left, right, etc.).
  
• Static the camera (camera stays still but character continues to move right).
  
• Free fly mode (use ship, and perhaps other modes like UFO, to go further up and down compared to the top and bottom restrictions of the ship in 2.1).

• Within static camera mode (camera stays still, but character still moves), you may go right ("forward") or left ("backwards"), kind of like a platform level.
