Geometry Dash, developed by Robert Topala under the company RobTop Games AB, is a side-scrolling platformer released back in August 2013 (can you believe it's been that long?!). It's available on iOS, Android, and Steam, meaning you can inflict this delightful torture upon yourself pretty much anywhere.
But what makes Geometry Dash so special? It's all about timing. Your goal is simple: guide your geometric shape through a series of increasingly complex levels filled with obstacles. But here's the catch: everything is synced to a heart-pumping, often dubstep-heavy, soundtrack. This isn't just about jumping; it's about jumping in time with the music.
Sounds easy, right? Wrong! One mistimed jump, one tiny miscalculation, and BAM! Game over. But that's part of the charm. Geometry Dash embraces the "one more try" mentality, making you want to perfect each level, even after dozens (or hundreds!) of failed attempts.
