Games Like Geometry Dash: Ten One-Button Rhythm and Dash Games to Play Next
Published · 2 min read
Geometry Dash is a genre now. Once you have learned to hear a level rather than see it, a lot of other games open up. These are the ones on this site that are closest in spirit, with a note on what each does differently.
Under the Red Sky
The closest thing here to a stripped-down Geometry Dash: one runner, one button, ruins to jump in time with the music and no forms to think about. If you want to know how much of the fun is the jump itself, play this. Play Under the Red Sky.
Geometry Dash Lite, Meltdown and SubZero
The official spin-offs. Lite is the free edition of the main game. Meltdown has three fiery F-777 levels built for the robot and spider. SubZero is three icy levels with the camera effects of 2.2. Together they are the best next step after the early levels.
G-Switch 3
A runner where the button flips gravity instead of jumping. Same reflexes, different muscle memory, and an eight-player mode on one keyboard. Play G-Switch 3.
Electron Dash and Tunnel Rush
First-person tunnels. The rhythm is there, but you steer instead of jump, and the speed is the difficulty. Electron Dash is cleaner; Tunnel Rush is louder.
Level Devil
A platformer that lies to you. Not a rhythm game, but the same loop of die, learn, retry, and it is funnier than anything else here. Play Level Devil.
Vex 7 and Vex 8
Precision stickman platformers. You control the running here, so it is a different skill, but the spike-to-spike timing feels familiar.
OvO 2
A speedrunner's platformer with dives and slides. Once you can finish a level, the par times turn it into a rhythm game of its own.
Friday Night Funkin'
Pure rhythm, four arrows instead of one button. If the music is the part of Geometry Dash you like most, this is the one. Play Friday Night Funkin'.
Drift Boss
One button, hold and release, and a road that never stops turning. It is the gentlest game on this list and the hardest to stop playing.
Where to start
If you want more Geometry Dash, play Lite then Meltdown. If you want the same feeling in a new shape, G-Switch 3. If you want to laugh, Level Devil.
