Simplicity at its finest.

Hello, my peeps, and may the algorithm bring this piece to you🙏🏾.

Geometry Dash is a side-scrolling, music platforming game developed by Robert Tópala a.k.a RobTop.

The app was initially released to AppStore on August 13th, 2013, and to PCs on December 22, 2014.

Gameplay

We’re just a simple square and you can pick whatever level you’d like; it’s that simple.

If you’re unsure if you’re ready for the level, you can go through it in Practice mode.

You can play the game with a controller, touchscreen, or mouse and keyboard.

However, the rest of the levels can be played immediately, so if you’re daring, you can skip right to the last level.

You play the level until you bump into an obstacle, a wall, a spike, or a chainsaw.

After you die, the game will show you how much of the map you’ve completed so far before you have to restart from the beginning.

Visuals

The game’s visuals are simple as well.

It feels like you’re in a club playing this game, primarily based on the music we’ll get Into in a bit.

Visual surprises include small secret paths, portals to inverse your gravity, and a jet mode.

Music

Music is indeed ingrained in this entire game, and this feature is really what sets it apart.

The beat drops signify when you should jump, making timing critical.

And above all, the music is catchy, adding to this game's replayability.

Conclusion

This game is an absolute blast.

Also, RobTob is very involved with the community and is still updating the game to this day, making it even more worth diving into.

Thank you so much for the read, and as always, I’ll catch you guys in the next one.
