Dinsun Review
Now this is more like it. It’s simple, it’s brutal, and it doesn't hold your hand. Geometry Dash is the kind of game that reminds me of the old arcade days—one mistake and you're back to the start. The synchronization between the music and the gameplay is its strongest point; when you get into the flow, it feels great. But make no mistake, it will make you want to throw your phone across the room.
The visuals are basic neon shapes, which is fine, though it can get a bit 'busy' and distracting during the faster segments. My main complaint is that it’s more about memorization than actual skill after a certain point. You aren't reacting; you're just executing a series of taps you’ve memorized over 500 failed attempts. It’s a solid time-waster, but only for those with a high tolerance for repetition.
