5/5 ★ – Count_Gamer's review of Geometry Dash.

I must’ve been 9 the first time I beat Stereo Madness. I still remember the excitement, the happiness that rushed through my body as I dropped my iPad to run around and tell my sister. Today I beat Deadlocked. It feels like GD and I grew up together, though considering the 7 year wait for a new update I feel I changed a little more lol. Back then I played in the free version of the game on what must’ve been the first iPad. Ive seen the game’s evolution, from the 1.8-2.0 update, waiting in art class with my friends to see 2.1 drop, to just a couple months ago, back home, seeing this game radically change once more with the release of the 2.2. While all this happened I graduated high school, met the love of my life, moved to a whole new continent, and Im close to finishing my university degree. It goes without saying that this game means a lot to me. Granted, I didn’t play consistently for 7 years, but even after every rage I would always be drawn back in, a feat only possible for a game like this. A game that draws the path from frustration to pure ecstasy 1 attempt at a time. A game that tests the drive of players to push themselves in any direction they want; from star grinding, extreme demons to the newly (and very welcome) plat-former mode. GD really offers a plate to soothe every type of player. Then add the community aspect, combining the seemingly never ending possibilities of the level editor with the undying creativity of those using it and you get a game that will never fail to deliver content to keep its player base hooked. Geometry Dash doesn’t belong to Robtop anymore, its in the hands of so many other people that retroactively keep the game alive, inspiring each other with silly and grandiose creations, to keep trying and keep making. I might take a break from the game. After 2.5k attempts, the bet I made with the other kids at my school of beating Deadlocked in that same years has finally been completed (this was like 7 years ago so I hope I still get my money). Regardless of how long I go without playing I can leave in peace knowing that I will eventually come back and when I do, the game will welcome me with endless levels to play, embrace me with open arms and remind me of why the love I have for this game will never die <3 GG
