Geometry Dash

ESRB Rating:	NR - Not Rated
My Rating:	Ages 6 and up
Genre:	Rhythm
Fun-O-Meter:
Summary:	Geometry Dash's title couldn't be more on the nose. This Rhythm game boils down to simple geometric shapes dashing to the finish line. The trick behind it is that the levels are designed to sync up with the soundtrack: most of the time, you're going to be jumping, hovering, and sliding in tune with the beat.
Brief thoughts:	This is a difficult game that can easily frustrate someone, and there is always the possibility of something you don't like appearing in a level made by another user. However, both of these issues are under your control, so pick your levels wisely.
