Jumping over obstacles as a block to the rhythm of music is absorbing for a few hours. If you fail – you start the level all over again.

That’s what the Geometry Dash is. It’s a music game that tests your dexterity (and patience), even though you only need one button to control your icon.

Throughout the 26 levels, you’ll dodge various obstacles like spikes, walls, or sawblades and adjust to the pace of the gameplay.
