The themes of timing and rhythm predominate in Geometry Dash. A geometric shape is controlled by the player, who guides it through increasingly challenging stages accompanied by unique music. The shape may hop, turn, and change directions as it glides across the screen by tapping and holding the screen. Make sure to complete this task in sync with the music. Because of the new rhythm and timing features, players will have to work on their dexterity, hand-eye coordination, and sense of space.

The sheer number of levels in Geometry Dash is one of the game's most appealing features. Every level was meticulously designed with its own unique platforms, obstacles, and difficulties that demand meticulous planning and execution to conquer. Every level is unique and challenging, from the gentle slopes at the start to the treacherous terrain later on. Because there are unique opponents, power-ups, and blocks in each level, the game becomes increasingly challenging as you progress.
