![]() ![]() Occasionally this happened, and I found myself hopping my little block to the beat of the music. Maybe this is just wishful thinking on my end, but I would have absolutely loved it if the platforming segments were also synchronized with the music. When you switch from the platforming segments to the flying segments, the music transitions seamlessly. The music pulsated through the graphics and the monsters you jump over chomp their jaws to the rhythm of the music. The audio and the visual effects are synchronized together in a way that makes playing Geometry Dash Meltdown a standout experience all on its own. The game tracks your progress in percentage-completed counts, so when you finally complete an obstacle that’s stumped you, watching that percentage go from, say, “52% complete” slide up to “53% complete” is immensely satisfying.īeneath the challenging gameplay elements stuffed into the game, Geometry Dash Meltdown has a nice surprise for players in the form of a fantastic soundtrack. Sure I could go on YouTube and verify the game is winnable by watching some kid beat the entire game in twenty minutes, but I didn’t have to, because I could see myself progress a little bit more with each attempted run. That, in itself, says a lot about how great the game is. ![]() It was not the game’s fault that I couldn’t complete the levels, it was my own. ![]() While I was certainly frustrated, cursed various profanities at my iPad, and took a few needed cool-down breaks, I was never really angry at the game. The surname “Meltdown” probably comes from RobTop Games figuring that many players would experience just that as they played through the game. I love a challenge, and that’s what Geometry Dash Meltdown is in a nutshell. So understanding that, when I come across a game that challenges me, yet is as simple in concept as Geometry Dash Meltdown is, you can understand why I’d have difficulty putting the game down. MOBAs, first/third-person shooters, platformers, card games - you name it, give me an hour and I can probably beat most people at it. Throwing modesty out the window, I feel comfortable in saying that I’m really good at video games. Trust me, the former happens exponentially more often than the latter does. Geometry Dash Meltdown is a runner-type game, so once the player begins a level there is no stopping unless the player is eliminated by touching an obstacle, or by completing the level. The entire game is about bouncing and flying a little shape through a 2D obstacle course by just tapping the screen. But the thing is …it’s not mechanically a difficult game at all. Geometry Dash Meltdown is the first game in a long while that has maintained my interest due to its difficulty alone. Logically, I knew what I was attempting was possible. “This game is impossible,” a frustrated part of my subconscious seemed to say. The word “impossible” floated in front of my mind’s eye as my gameplay session with Geometry Dash Meltdown continued on longer than I anticipated. Playing with soundtrack on can be disorientating. ![]()
