Storyline / Narrative

This video doesn’t follow a story in Geometry Dash. Instead, it’s a creator-led comparison of two mod menus: Mega Hack V8 and Eclipse.

Gameplay / Use-Case Highlights (what the mods help you do)

The creator demonstrates how each menu can be used for:

  • Enabling cheats/hacks quickly (via keybinds)
  • Showing hitboxes to troubleshoot timing/consistency
  • Botting/replaying levels (record a run and play it back automatically)
  • Custom HUD labels (e.g., FPS/CPS/attempt info)
  • UI customization (themes, fonts, layout)
  • Language/translation support (localization for menu/hack text)
  • Profile management (saving and switching setups)

Key Comparison Points & Tips

1) Availability / Platforms

  • Mega Hack V8: available only for PC (Windows 10 specifically mentioned)
  • Eclipse: available for PC and mobile

2) Number of hacks

  • Mega Hack V8: 97 hacks (alpha/continues updating)
  • Eclipse: 113 hacks (continues updating)

3) Interface & UI customization

Mega Hack V8 (limited UI customization)

Customization is mostly limited to:

  • Animation/tab open-close delay
  • Menu color theme
    • Mentions a default style like “Octavus”
    • Options include styles reminiscent of older versions (e.g., V6/V7/V8 naming)

Eclipse (much more UI customization)

More extensive customization, including:

  • More theme options (examples: Groove Box, Mega Hack, Mega Overlay, Open Hack, etc.)
  • Font selection
  • Layout choice (tabbed/panel/sidebar styles mentioned)
  • Color changes and additional styling
  • Limitation noted: some tab placement/layout is locked (not freely movable)

4) Profiles (saved setups)

  • Mega Hack V8:
    • Supports creating/deleting profiles
    • Lets you switch hack selections per profile
    • Example workflow: create profile → choose hacks → delete profile if needed
  • Eclipse:
    • Profiles aren’t supported in the same way
    • Only workaround described: reset Eclipse settings (returns theme/colors to original)

5) Key binding (quality-of-life for repeated testing)

Mega Hack V8

  • Assign a keybind directly for a chosen hack
    • Example: H enables/disables hitboxes

Eclipse

  • Right-click a specific hack → Add keybind → assign the key
    • Example: J for hitboxes

6) Botting / Recording & Playback of levels

Mega Hack V8

  • Use the Replay/Botting section
  • Choose a level (example: “Dial Wave”)
  • Press record, play, then it autosaves
  • Press playback/play to replay automatically

Eclipse

  • Use the Botting/recording section
  • Create a new file first and name it
  • Press record, play the level, then press save manually (no autosave mentioned)
  • Press playback to run it again

7) Results / Performance noted in demonstrations

Both are claimed to achieve:

  • 100% noclip accuracy
  • Zero deaths

Additional notes:

  • Eclipse: smooth playback without gameplay/audio delay
  • Mega Hack V8: an audio delay was observed; the creator speculates it may be due to a GPU issue, suggesting high-end GPUs might avoid it

8) Labels & HUD customization

Mega Hack V8

  • Supports displaying stats like FPS, CPS, noclip accuracy, deaths, etc.
  • Customization is more limited (e.g., toggles like showing units/max CPS)
  • Can also change fonts for these labels

Eclipse

  • Much deeper label system
  • Each label can be configured with:
    • Custom text (example: “subscribe” message added)
    • Font
    • Scale/size
    • Color and opacity
    • Position/alignment (top-left, top-right, absolute positioning mentioned)

The creator states this section is why Eclipse earns the point.

9) Translation / Language support

  • Mega Hack V8: only English is mentioned (creator references a language contribution announcement but no actual languages are confirmed)
  • Eclipse: includes many languages; the creator demonstrates French working
    • Incorrect/bugged languages may show question marks (e.g., Greek mentioned)

Overall Preference (creator’s conclusion)

  • Choose Eclipse if you want the best value/features (emphasized as free and feature-rich).
  • Choose Mega Hack V8 if you want a “flex” and don’t mind waiting for updates/future versions.
