How to play Geometry Dash?

Geometry Dash is a popular rhythm-based platformer where you control a geometric shape through obstacle-filled levels. The key to success is timing your jumps and movements to the beat of the music.

Here's a breakdown of how to play:

Automatic Movement: Your geometric shape (cube, ship, ball, UFO, wave, robot, spider, swing) moves automatically forward.
Controls: The core mechanic is a single input:
Tap/Click (Mouse/Screen): This makes your character jump, change gravity, or perform other actions depending on the game mode.
Hold: Holding down your input can cause your character to fly (in ship or UFO mode), perform multi-jumps (cube/robot), or move continuously in a specific direction (wave).
Keyboard: On PC, you can often use Spacebar, Up Arrow, or WASD for movement (W/Up for jump, A/Left for left, D/Right for right in Platformer mode).
Controller: Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch controllers also have designated jump/action buttons (e.g., 'A' on Xbox).
Obstacles: Avoid spikes, sawblades, and other environmental hazards. Hitting an obstacle means starting the level over.
Portals & Arrows: These will change your game mode, speed, or gravity, introducing new challenges and gameplay mechanics.
Orbs: Colored orbs floating in the air or on platforms can trigger specific actions like jumps or gravity changes.
Coins: Each main level has three hidden coins. Collecting them is optional for completion but adds an extra challenge and can unlock rewards.
