What is Geometry Dash?
Geometry Dash is a rhythm-based action platformer developed by RobTop Games in 2013.[1] The game has gained popularity worldwide for its unique music-driven gameplay and high difficulty levels.
Players control a customizable cube, avoiding obstacles such as spikes, lasers, and portals while moving to the beat of the music.[2] The game is characterized as "simple but difficult" - while the basic controls are easy to learn, the fast tempo and strategically placed obstacles create a challenging experience.[1]
