Geometry Dash Reviews

by A Mysterious Reviewer

I have been playing this game for 3 years and have become pretty good at it, I play all the new levels that come out online... however, that is exactly the biggest problem with the game. None of the new levels feel new anymore other than the way they look because there is no new gameplay or anything to make each level special. It has been almost 2 years since update 2.1 came out and when I started playing the game in August 2015 it was on update 1.9. There is not even a sneak preview of the 2.2 level yet and the developer is so tight lipped about progress on the update that I believe that RobTop has given up completely on GD and 2.2 will never come. If it ever does come out, it will be revolutionary; however, that’s is also the problem: updates are too revolutionary. The dev focuses so much on adding a million new things to the game at a time that he does not even perform maintenance for the game’s servers (leaderboards have been broken for over a year). I would much rather have smaller and more frequent updates than getting more and more content in each update because it is getting increasingly difficult to have motivation to play this as the dev drags his feet with 2.2’s release with no date in sight. 3 stars because it is still remotely enjoyable.

The ability to move around triggers is solely functional to 10 triggers. Hide player, Show player, touch, count, instant count, pickup, BG effect on, BG effect off, animate, and shake. All other triggers (fade effects, color changes, movement, and state changes not listed above) will not be affected by the move / rotate triggers and this cannot be countered with the follow trigger which makes making extreme effects levels comparable to serponge like a Mario bros world 1-1 exact replica impossible from a creators viewpoint I find this incredibly annoying and the more of these limitations I find the less interested in the editor I get especially when these limitations are unexplained please fix as I am loosing interest in the editor (my main reason for playing) and I fear that soon this game will become boring and uninteresting and these limitations will not only loose my interest but also of your best as they will run out of ideas for mind blowing effects but that's just speculation but seriously I would like this to be fixed (p.s. The alpha pulse and move triggers were responsive to move commands in 2.0 toggle never has worked and spawn triggers I didn't use until 2.1 came out so I don't know if that ever moved from move triggers) I've been a player for almost 2
years now I'd like to keep this streak going

If you are wanting to play a game that is easy yet later down the line difficult, this is for you. Geometry Dash is a game where all you do is press one button to jump and go through portals to switch types of jumps. Each level by Robtop increases the difficulty so that you can get prepared for online levels. As through your first play through, do the Robtop levels first. If you want to do the demon levels also, be sure to collect the coins inside the levels. They are important since the coins are mostly achievement speciality so get the coins. After you are done with all of the robtop levels, you can finally and truly play Geometry Dash at it’s fullest. Mainly on the right side of the screen near the play button. Try doing a bit of the map packs in case you want more coins, or jump in to get some diamonds, orbs, and keys. They are 3 vital important things to guide your way through the game. The game it’s self is a campaign game based off of what you are achieving so please, save up both orbs and keys, diamonds stay permanent. This of course means you can unlock vaults and figure out the codes through simple yt videos. Overall, this game is extremely fun because of you’re always achieving stuff and building up your skill. This game is iconic for how much kids played it back in its early development days, so this holds a special place in my heart now that I’m older. Robtop, thank you for giving me the best childhood

Look I love geometry dash and how well designed the game is and all the fun levels. Like I said awesome game but there is just 2 things. Now I know this game is like 4 years old and I know you guys are thinking what am I doing playing in 2020, but it’s fun trust me,so now let me tell u the two things. Well the first thing is I’m just playing casually and I get to some more harder parts and you have to tap faster and sometimes when I tap it doesn’t jump and it can be frustrating at times but I know you might not want to fix it but there are still some iPad players out there that still play your game and that probably happens to them too. So that’s one of the things please if you could fix that and the other thing I’m about to say it would be my favorite mobile game. Now the second thing I want to fix is that you know those orb things where they boost you up sometimes I just press it once and when I land back to the ground I automatically jumps for me and that could get me killed sometimes it’s very annoying but yeah those are basically the two small bugs that I would be appreciated so much but yeah rob top awesome game just wanted to let you know bye 👋.

So I love this game so much and I enjoy playing it when I can. It is probably my favorite game so far I have ever played. I love all the different levels, icons, daily prizes, etc… The only reason I don’t give GeometryDash 5 stars is because I have an old phone and when I downloaded geometry dash For about 4 or 5 months it worked perfectly fine and i couldn’t stop playing it. All the sudden I went on GeometryDash and it just blacked out. Every single time I tried to get back on it would show the Home Screen then click off. I have no idea why except for the fact that I updated my phone and then this happened. I would consider updating GeometryDash to work for newer updates if you haven’t already. Further more, I tried deleting GeometryDash , re installing, and restarting my phone and i just eventually just gave up. I got a iPad Air a couple months later and decided to install GeometryDash. It worked like magic even though it has all the same data and iCloud. If the developers are reading this could you please give me some ideas to try to solve this problem on my phone? I would love to give GeometryDash 5 stars and an amazing review but I wanted to bring this to your attention. Other than that this is the BEST APP EVER and the money you pay for this is totally worth it. Thank you.

I’ve been playing Geometry Dash for a very long time and I think that it is a pretty well-balanced game that is a lot of fun when you get used to the difficulty level. Even though a lot of the gameplay seems difficult at first because when you die in game you have to restart the level from scratch, once you gat used to it, that kind of gameplay becomes very fun. Geometry dash also has a kind of rhythm-based gameplay, because most of the levels will sync to the music being played in-game. The level editor allows people to express their own artistic creativity and understanding of the game by making their own levels and submitting them to the online servers. From there, other people who bought the full version of the game can play your levels and give you feedback on how to improve them. There are no in-game purchases, and I think that that’s a good thing because it encourages players to get better at the game by not giving them a shortcut. The only real problems with the game is that many people who have difficulty managing their anger will get very mad if and when they die in the game, the community can sometimes be a little toxic, and the developer, RobTop isn’t that transparent. Overall, it’s a fun, entertaining and well-rounded game that gets you more hooked the more that you play it.

Geometry Dash has been one of m favorite games for years, ever since my friend introduced it to me, and during those years of playing, I have found some things that you might want to know. First of all, when you play the level “Time Machine”, and press and hold while the level starts to you rapidly jump, you will find that you will jump up on top of the spike wall. I do not know if this was intended, or just a glitch. Second, the game says that the level “Can’t Let Go” and “Jumper” have significant differences in difficulty. I have downloaded Geometry Dash on multipledevices, and I have found that I take so much more attempts to complete “Can’t Let Go” than “Jumper”. I just got the mobile full version on this iPhone and I completed “Jumper” in only 3 attempts, and “Can’t Let Go” in 57. I think that they should switch places because “Can’t Let Go” is much harder than “Jumper”. And lastly, I find it quite upsetting when I found out that you can’t add music to a user-created Geometry Dash level from a new Newgrounds account because lots of people have been stealing music and using them in their levels. I made an awesome song in Splash and was hoping to use it in one of my levels, but I can’t because of this. I, and hundreds of other people are trustworthy and want to add their music to Geometry Dash. Even though I am disappointed about this, Geometry Dash still deserves 5 stars.

This game has done so much for me. It all started off with my Dad’s girlfriend’s son 6 years ago. He showed me the Lite version and I was like meh. I tried it and beat the first level in a few attempts! I instantly fell in love and we played it every time I visited. Then one day I got the full version on my mom’s phone. Every opportunity I had I would play it. Then I got a phone, 5 years after i first saw this game. I started to seriously play and now I’m here! 11 Demons beaten and counting! Anyways, Robtop there are some things that I suggest. 1. Multiplayer You know the drill, multiple people, shows a ghost like figure of the others, first person to finish wins or a tie. But I think you should also make it to where every speed change stacks up and down so players don’t miss it somehow and get a disadvantage, unless your idea of multiplayer is multiple speed changes, “hit the good ones avoid the bad ones” type of stuff. If so, then go for it! If you do it the way I suggested, then make the stacked ones invisible. 2 Scale trigger. Let’s you scale objects and decide how long it takes. If you did, Thank You for taking your time to read this!

2.2 is taking Forever! I feel that's good and bad news. Good because that means there's gonna be LOADS of new stuff! Bad because people are getting impatient And are getting bored so they won't play it. But I'm gonna keep playing for a LONG time! Hope the update will be good! P.S Robtop has an account you can check out and he has a few levels.

EDIT: oh boy...made this review when I was 9...fun times. Anyway, can't wait for 2.2! Heard about all the big news that came out today and decided to come back to this review and say that robtop has really, REALLY done so much to this community, and he has given us everything we've wanted. 2.2 is truly a big step and if this was the final update for GD, I would totally be fine. 2.2 has either been a fun time making, or a painful time making, and if it's the ladder or both, than you can always take a break. Robtop, if you're reading this, thank you. From me and everyone else who has stuck with this community, thank you so much. This entire journey has been amazing, and it has only begun. Peace out, and il see you in 2.2. ❤️

The developers probably won’t see this, but overall Geometry Dash is an amazing game. There are normal levels that you can get in the free version, and the full version with levels like fingerdash, and deadlocked. There are also many more. My only complaint is that when you beat levels like clutterfunk and all of the free levels, clutterfunk and the other insane levels I feel like is hard to make the transition to the higher and supposed to be easier and harder levels. Even if the are the level you are playing on isn’t even an insane level. Like geometrical dominator and blast processing. Those aren’t ranked as an insane but they are hard to complete when making the transition to clutterfunk to one of those 2 levels. Also, electrodynamix should be rated a demon level. Lastly, some of the coins should be a bit easier to get. Ok, here is my last complaint for sure. I really need orbs to get things from the shop, but the only couple ways to get orbs in a day is to open the chests or get farther on a level that ever before and get a high score. I have already beaten all of the free levels and the daily levels to. And I can’t even get close to complete if any of the new levels or the weekly levels. The gauntlets are normally hard to complete and don’t give out that many orbs. You should add a new and easier at to get orbs. But overall, amazing game Robtop.

by CriticalXonic

Really fantastic game although some changes can help a lot. First, RobTop needs a development team or at least someone to help with the creation of the game so updates don’t go by as slow. Also, elder moderators should be given the privilege to star rate levels themselves. There are many good levels that remain unrated and we wouldn’t have this problem if there were more people who can star rate levels instead of RobTop himself. Also there is an occasional bug where the editor freezes and all you can do is playtest. I need to exit the level and go back in to undo it. There also needs to be a reply feature so people can see who you are specifically replying to in the comments. Notifications would also be a good feature so you can know when your chests are ready or if you got a star rated level or when a creator you follow posts a level. There is also a bug on the vault monster or whatever it’s called. I got all three keys and nothing is going on and I’m very disappointed. There is also a bug with daily chests where it doesn’t let you open it. I still love this game and rate it 5 stars.

This game is mostly a game of trial and error. That means that you are expected to fail again and again and again before you beat a level. On the hardest levels, it might take over 10,000 tries to beat them just one time!! However, if you are okay with trying to beat the same level for a long time, it is very fun and addictive. It has a simple control scheme that makes it one of those games that’s easy to pick up but hard to master. The main bulk of the game, though it is not advertised this way, is the online levels made by the community. There are only about 20 official levels available to play but there are millions online and they are usually just as good, if not better than the official ones. The only problem with the online features is the level comments, which sometimes contain colorful language. The good thing about that is that there are parental controls to hide comments if a kid is playing the game. Like I said, though, the game is not for everyone, and you will only enjoy it if you are okay with the somewhat repetitive experience of playing the same level over and over trying to perfect it.

by Dimaurin

Don’t get me wrong. I love this game. It’s visually stunning, it’s a bit addictive (which is what RobTop would want isn’t it), and the community is extremely responsive and skilled. However, there is one thing I would change about the game and it is customization. I like how more icons and color variants have been continually added, but my problem is with the coloring. I think instead of choosing two colors that would color the icon in designated sections, there should be an option to a new screen that showed the chosen icon and all the colors at the bottom. Then you would choose a color and tap / click any enclosed section of the icon to color that section with the chosen color. Then you could swipe the icon to the left and it would show the currently chosen ship icon, and you can do the same thing with that, all the way to the spider icon, obviously not counting the trail and death effects. This idea kind of came from those games where you’re given a picture and some color pallet, and tapping an enclosed section colors it in a chosen color. All ideas aside, this game is amazing and you should never quit expanding it.

This is a great game, it’s been a big part of my life since this was my favorite game when I was younger. Maybe not my favorite anymore but I still really enjoy the game. I play on mobile and recently got a new phone and I want to save and load my data from my account from my old phone to my new one. Every time I try to save, it always says an error has occurred. This has been going on for maybe a year or 2 or so. I don’t know what to do next, I’ve already deleted my custom levels I don’t need and narrowed it down to just three. I also deleted old friends who I never talked to or left GD, deleted saved levels, deleted old messages to and from old friends and it still won’t save. I have been playing the game for well over 5 years though and have built up a lot of progress. I don’t know but I have a feeling it’s that, my 5 years progress is what’s keeping my account from saving and the fact that my phone is old. I also tried getting more iCloud storage but that hasn’t worked either. I don’t know what to do next so maybe you could help me? I doubt you’ll see this but I’m desperate right now. :P

Fun, but also difficult. This game is very fun, but it is also very hard. There are levels of various difficulties, such as a level where you don’t have to tap, (called auto levels), all the way to levels that are pretty much impossible. There are 21 levels made by the developer, varying from an easy level, Stereo Madness, all the way to Deadlocked, a very difficult level.
However, there is more to the game than just these 21 levels. You can create your own levels using the same editor as the developer himself. If your levels are good, they can get stars, and then people will earn stars, which are pretty much a thing that you get by beating levels.
Geometry Dash can be very rage inducing, but it is also very fun. It is advised that people with epilepsy avoid the game, as there can be flashing lights, in levels, especially in a trend called nine circles levels. This trend has almost died out, but these levels can still be played.
Geometry dash is a skill based game, as you can only become good with practice. There are no ads nor in app purchases.
You will love it, and although it will probably seem very difficult at first, with a bit of practice, you will find your self having lots of fun.

Yes! 2.1 is here! The update is amazing, totally adding greatness to the game. I got a sneak peak from Geometry Dash World, yet the full version has even more content. I have been playing GD for over a year, and if you don't have it you NEED IT. I could write everything great about GD, but the reason I didn't give 5 stars was two reasons. See, when it updated I transferred around my GDW data to the full game, and started playing. But I realized that it was taking longer to load some levels or pages, especially my profile page. That was no big deal, but the problem was that sometimes it wouldn't load at all! Often when I tried loading my profile page, it just said 'an error occurred, please try again later.' And sometimes when trying to load levels, example recent levels, after a while the loading sign would disappear and no levels would come up, just a blank screen... The other reason that only got 4 stars was that is you finished a level BEFORE 2.1, you wouldn't get the orbs (currency) for it. Maybe you could add a 'claim' button?
I know the pressure from the community was really stressful, and how all people did was ask. But it would be good to soon release a bug fix update for the above problems. Thanks!

I just want to say how much I love this game and I also have some ideas for 2.2. #1: The Geometry Dash Cup. What this is is something you can access on the main menu. It is something that maybe if you make a multiplayer section maybe you could put this in here. It is about a competition of 2 or 3 levels that all players get to vote on. And the person who gets the best in all the levels wins. #2: More main levels. I think that if you are reading this you know what I mean. I mean that in the main levels, you should add a bit more so people like me, people who have completed all the current online levels, can have a new challenge. #3: More gauntlets. I think that you should add more gauntlets to GD because if you are up for a challenge, and you want a reward then you should play gauntlets and if you finish all of them, you should add more so you can have fun. #4: Lastly, I think you should add a custom story mode. Kind of like how you did the vaults, but I think that you should have a goal, to build the best level possible, and to do that maybe you should have to complete some online levels to unlock parts that you can add in level creator. If you are at the end, I want to say thank you for reading this. I know that this level is definitely 100% a 5 star game no matter how much it costs, it is totally worth it bye!

Ok, let me get this straight, the reviews for this game average out at a 4.68 as of may 11th. That is incredible! Also, just because this game has some bugs in the editor and some older levels, doesn’t mean it’s a bad game! And for all my people out there who think the game is “too hard” need to listen. It’s not an easy game, I’ll give you that, but it’s not impossible! As of today I am a successful creator and member of the community with 47 demons and working with many great people to keep this game running! Now, listen, to all the haters, what is BAD about the game? Bugs? That’s it? Lazy creator? No! Robert is just trying to get the best experience for us players! He has been actively working on the 2.2 update for 3 years now! He is done adding and is working on bugs so we don’t hate it! So, want to tell me what is wrong with the game? No? Ok, cool. Stop hating guys! RobTop try’s to keep everyone happy! Even if it takes a few years! Also, if you can’t beat levels, learn to make them! Get in collabs, play with the community, get someone to verify the level! Have fun with us! So to conclude, this is the best mobile game to have fun, listen to beats, play with your friends, and do things to keep us happy! I love this game and hate nothing about it! Have a good day folks! I definitely recommend!

Hello! And here are some ideas for geometry dash 2.2! 1. reverse orbs: I believe that if you add reverse orbs into the game that would be awesome! The reverse orbs are orbs that make you go backwards! 2. Anti-reverse orbs: this is a orb that reverses the reverse orbs! 3. Air blocks: these are blocks that make you go up without hitting a jump pad or orb! If just pushes you up or down,left, and right! It just depends on the angle of the block! 4. Big portal: This is a portal that makes you bigger, and increases your jump height just like how when you become small your jump height decreases! 5. Multiplayer battles: this is a mode that you can choose in the main menu but you go up against 4 other online people and there is a wheel on all of the players screens that show 7 slots on the wheel and all of them have different parts of a level, example: the invisible spike jumps from Electrodinamix, the plane part from stereo madness, the orb jumps at the start of polargeist, etc. until all of them are gone and that sorts all of the parts of a custom level that you go through and try to get as much points as you can going through the level, and if you die then you are able to spectate the other players and the last one standing wins, but you can choose as much rounds as you want and the person with the most wins, win!

So yeah that was just some simple ideas for geometry dash 2.2!!! Bye now!

by I Review Things I Suppose

Geometry Dash is probably what I see as the pinnacle of mobile gaming, right up there with Clash of Clans or Clash Royale. This is game is infuriatingly fun- every level is based off skill. Sure, you may get lucky because you tapped on accident, saving you, but that’s still YOU doing the action. Sure, Geometry Dash is stupid hard, but that’s what makes it fun. Without that skill curve, this would be a bland game. The visuals are great and feel unique, and there is even a hidden shop where you can buy some community-made aesthetics. However, what makes this game outstanding is the music coupled with the gameplay. Each and every level is shaped around the song in the background, allowing you to even play some levels with your eyes closed, as long as you’re following along with the song. The music is out of this world, and got me into the electronic genre. The level creator is fun and easy to use (there are some more technical things for moving, changing colors, etc.) and allows you to play others’ levels as well. This community allows for unlimited replayability; there’s always another level to beat. I can’t stress this enough: download this if you want to have fun.

Lots of other people say that Geometry Dash is “too hard” or is “a terrible game”. This is really not true. First off, people are complaining about the difficulty of the levels and whatnot, but all you need is practice (just a sidenote, if you can’t beat the first level I’m sorry, but you’re bad at mobile games). Geometry Dash is a great game and people should stop criticizing it. Robtop has been working very hard on this game for almost 7 years now and people need to cut him some slack. Alright, now I’m going to explain some bugs. Alot of people are talking about how their taps don’t register. An easy fix to this is to clean your screen every so often. Next, if you want to upload a level, you need to make an account. Again, people have trouble making one as it will usually say that the email is invalid. This means that one very similar is already in use or the one you’re using is already being used. Just make a new email and try it again. Finally, there is a weird bug that pushes your icon forward on mobile that happens occasionally, so just keep trying and eventually you’ll pass whatever area you were stuck on. I hope some people found this helpful! And thanks to RobTop for making such a fun game!
