About Robert Topala

Robert Topala is a Swedish game developer who runs RobTop Games and created Geometry Dash, the rhythm-based platformer with over a billion mobile downloads. He released his first game, Bounce Ball Thingy, on Newgrounds in 2010 while studying civil engineering, then dropped out to focus on games and founded RobTop Games by 2012, releasing Boomlings and other small mobile titles.

Geometry Dash launched on iOS and Android in August 2013, followed by a free Lite version and a Steam release in December 2014. Its user-created levels and online level editor built one of gaming's most dedicated communities. Sensor Tower estimated the mobile version had earned about $21 million by 2018, and Swedish outlet Breakit reported RobTop Games booked hundreds of millions of kronor in profit over four years.

Topala famously works almost entirely alone and on long, slow update cycles: the huge 2.2 update arrived in December 2023 after years of anticipation. By June 2024 Geometry Dash had passed 1.1 billion mobile downloads, and in January 2026 it hit over 100,000 concurrent players on Steam.
