And it’s a rhythm that pounds along with equal parts frustration and jubilation. While the shape and design of the levels might change, the rhythm of play is still pretty much the same. Sometimes you’ll need to utilize them, other times you’ll need to avoid them altogether lest ye be pranged into some spikes or a gaping hole. There are bounce pads and other contraptions to contend with. The game adds extra ideas as you get deeper into it.
Which can mean that making a mistake on a part of a level you’ve completed multiple times can come as a real kick in the metaphorical teeth. It means you’re going to be repeating certain sections over and over while you learn the rest of the taps you need to perform. You’ll spend a good chunk of time just mashing through the first few sections, hitting an unexpected obstacle and then repeating until you find some other way to die. That said, you can play just as well with the sound turned off.Įverything boils down to remembering the pattern of jumps you need to perform and then repeating them. A pounding beat thumps along behind everything that you do, and if you time your jumps to it then you’re far more likely to succeed.
There’s a rhythm action twang to things as well. 95% will make you want to squish a kitten in your bare hands. Every time you die you’re shown the percentage of the level you’ve completed. The aim of the game is to bounce all the way through a level in a single run. Throw in levels that are that little bit too long, and some occasional control mishaps, and you’re left with a game that’s not quite as sharp as it should be. It’s all neons and blacks, but it’s far from the most inspiring palettes.
It’s just the trappings it wraps around itself that let it down. It certainly gets the toughness spot on, and it gets the one-touch controls just right as well. Geometry Dash World sits somewhere at the high end of the middle ground. It’s a genre that has seen a real resurgence in the past couple of years, and there have been some excellent examples of the genre in that time. There are plenty of super tough one-touch games on mobile. Not the most interesting looking game out there.
