Geometry Dash



Geometry Dash is a rhythm-based platformer game developed and published by RobTop Games. It was released for $1.99 USD on August 13, 2013 for iOS and Android, and for $3.99 USD on December 22, 2014 for Steam. A demo version of the game, Geometry Dash Lite is available on mobile devices with fewer features, as well as free versions, Geometry Dash Meltdown, Geometry Dash World and Geometry Dash SubZero, which include exclusive levels and icons,but not the all of the full version’s features. There are 21 official levels in the full version of Geometry Dash, 18 of which are unlocked from the start. There are 3 levels in Meltdown and Subzero and 10nin World. Each level grants rewards upon completion. Each official level has 3 secret coins, which are used to unlock the three locked levels. Levels are classified by difficulty, and each difficulty give a certain number of stars depending on difficulty. Players can play the levels in almost any order. Players can also earn achievements which may be exchanged for rewards.Players may also utilize a shop, where they can spend an in-game currency called "mana orbs", collected through completing levels. Geometry Dash has a practice mode that can be used for any level which allows the player to restart at manually or automatically placed checkpoints instead of the very beginning. A level cannot be officially completed on practice mode, though completion can lead to certain rewards. The paid full version features the ability to upload and download user-created levels. The player must complete their level with all coins in normal mode in order to ensure that it is possible to beat before it can be uploaded. Changes after the verification will render it unverified. The difficulty setting is determined by Robert Topala; the creator of a given level, its players, and moderators capable of sending levels can influence this decision.

Soundtrack
The Geometry Dash soundtrack is created several electronic music artists, including ForeverBound, DJVI, Waterflame, DJ-Nate, F-777, Dex Arson, and MDK. In addition to the official songs, usage of most songs on the Newgrounds music portal is also available for User Levels. Since it is common for users to abuse and vandalize the online music portal to upload songs not made by them to use in Geometry Dash, RobTop implemented a manual approval system to prevent this, where he would choose what artists' works are allowed to be used in-game.It is unclear whether some of these artists would return in.

Geometry Dash Meltdown
On December 16, 2015, RobTop announced a free expansion of G,D called Geometry Dash Meltdown, which was released on December 19, 2015 for iOS and Android. Currently it includes 3 levels (with all featuring the songs of F-777) with new icons from version 2.1 and 2.0. This spin-off was made to showcase the 2.0 features for players to get a preview of the update. As of now, it is on the Apple Store, but currently not available for the Google Play Store. A hacked A.P.K cof this spin-off was created by Dataminer SMJS. It was created to give Android Users previews of, including the Floating Ball gamemode, which replaces the Ship mode.
