Geometry Dash is a horizontal runner-style game developed and published by RobTop Games. It was released for $1.99 USD on 13 August 2013 for Android and iOS, and for $3.99 USD on 22 December 2014 for Steam. A lite version of the game is available on mobile devices with fewer features, as well as free expansions, Geometry Dash Meltdown, Geometry Dash World and Geometry Dash SubZero, which include exclusive levels.

The player takes the form of different entities with unique mechanics such as a cube, a ball, and a UFO. Using one-touch gameplay, the player must try to navigate through a series of interactive obstacles, movement-shifting transporters and behaviour-manipulating portals to reach the end of levels without crashing, all while listening to exciting music along the way.

Trivia

The original planned name for Geometry Dash through to its beta phase was Geometry Jump. According to the developer, it was changed to Geometry Dash because it "sounded better".
The Geometry Dash Menu Theme was produced by the developer, Robert Topala, accessible from his Newgrounds profile RobTop.
A level named Active (music by DJVI) was seemingly planned for after Update 1.4, where the incomplete level was present in the game's code. It would have been an Insane difficulty level rewarding 12 stars. It was still present after Update 1.5, being updated to reward 13 stars. The level and references to it throughout the game were removed from the code in subsequent versions.
On the main menu, normal or mini icons of any customised combination will travel past randomly. They can be selected, which will destroy them.
- The unique mini designs for the cube and ball can appear at the normal size for each.
- The icons exclusive to the Steam version of the game can appear for other versions.
All main non-platformer levels begin with a regular cube sequence.
Geometry Dash shares similar elements with The Impossible Game in terms of basic level components and cube gameplay mechanics.
The mobile versions of Geometry Dash along with the other games in the series used to have Everyplay integration, a service where users could record and upload videos of gameplay. It was discontinued on 1 October 2018.
