Skullo was a skilled American player in Geometry Dash who is known for the completion of many Extreme Demons, most notably Bloodlust. On 28 July 2018, he announced that he was quitting the game out of a lack of motivation and planned on pursuing new content. In January 2019, he uploaded a series of progress videos and beat multiple Extreme Demons before becoming inactive once again. On his Twitter account, he explained his final thoughts on the game and retrospective feelings towards the community, stating he is "done with the game forever now".
History[]
Skullo was once the set verifier for the buffed rebirth of Phobos, named Deimos, on which he achieved a best of 81% on December 15, 2017. After quite a long time of not making any further progress on the level, Skullo heavily buffed the level and jokingly hack-verified it on June 11, 2018. In the video's description, he said he gave up on it and announced he was giving up on Geometry Dash in general.
The verification was passed on to npesta, who verified it on February 18, 2019.[1]
On October 22, 2019, Skullo finally beat Deimos, after saying "he would do so as a final achievement before quitting the game".[2] Following this, he briefly returned to the game again and verified a low-tier Extreme Demon called "John Long Silver" by EndLevel on October 14, 2019.
After his comeback, he had also beaten levels such as Digital Descent, Spacial Rend, Titan Complex, BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB, WOW, Ancestral Calamity, Extinction, and Ziroikabi.

Conflicts[]
Plasma Pulse Finale VS Bloodlust[]
- Following Bloodlust's release; Skullo and EndLevel himself lead a calling to lower Bloodlust beneath Plasma Pulse Finale. The argument splits into 2 groups who attacked each other back and forth.
FPS Bypass controversy[]
- Both Sunix and Skullo had both used the FPS Bypass (which was then considered a hack) to beat Bloodlust, which also revealed (via voice chat) that Cyclic had used a similar personal tool to beat Sonic Wave and other Demons. From then, FPS Bypass became widely referred to as a “hacking tool” or a “cheating tool”.
- Sometime in May 2020, the Demonlist team lifted the FPS Bypass ban.
Trivia[]
- He got 98% on Bloodlust on March 6, 2018,[4] but beat it the day after.
- He achieved 98% on native 144Hz but used FPS Bypass set to 240FPS for his completion.
- He rose to popularity after becoming one of the first players to beat Yatagarasu.
- Sea made a joke G-News video on April Fools Day, in which he pointed out Skullo's voice change, which it has now been all-but-confirmed that he merely hit puberty and was, in fact, not kidnapped. But many people say they did not know how he changed his voice.
- Skullo's favorite musical artist is Lizzo.
- He is an avid bowler.
- One of the levels he verified, an Extreme Demon named Glow of Entrancing by Motu suddenly disappeared from the servers, without a trace of it to be found to this day.
- His use of the FPS Bypass in July 2018 to complete Bloodlust along with Sunix soon after doing the same sparked heavy controversy in the community and a long-lived debate about whether the FPS Bypass should be allowed for level completions or not. Nowadays, the FPS Bypass is accepted on the Demonlist so long as the fps-rate used does not exceed 360.
