Geometry Dash is a constant-movement platforming game with a sudden death mechanic that reminds me of Flappy Bird. Or some of the mine cart levels in Donkey Kong Country. It's basically how my kids split their gaming time between this and Minecraft.
It requires a lot of memorization and precision in the platforming since any death restarts you at the beginning of the level. To that end, it is gaming skill. My gripe about it is that there are basically infinite levels and my kids tend to zone out when playing it and lose track of time. Kind of a commentary of the attention economy we have now.
Curious if any of us grown-ups play this game. Or, for a kid who likes this, is there something more evolved for them to play? I can't seem to get them into FF. :(
