Geometry Dash 2.2: The Newest, Toughest Challenge

Updated from the original game that attracted millions of likes, Geometry Dash 2.2 continues with new challenges of unprecedented difficulty. Welcome, the best nurturers, to the twelfth update of the hurdle game, releasing on December 19, 2023. The most important additions have to be two brand new levels and the first appearance of some stores, skins, options, etc. Can't wait any longer, explore the must-see features in Geometry Dash 2.2 right here!

Overview of the charming new features

The first update in Geometry Dash 2.2 is the brand new shape of the main object called “Swing”. This can be considered a combination of a ship and a ball. Next, let's see what's new with the Treasure Room. Players will discover more chests worth 1 or 5 keys, with new types of chests costing from 10 to 100 keys. Furthermore, the menu of the Treasure Room has also been redesigned in this update.

The next equally attractive innovation of Geometry Dash 2.2 is the appearance of two shops, the Mechanic and the Diamond shopkeeper (the store uses diamonds as the main currency). Besides some common items, these two stores also provide impressive soundtracks for players. Ignore the old music that has followed you throughout your previous practice rounds. Because the Diamond Shopkeeper will allow you to purchase new background music for the practice mode. Meanwhile, the Mechanic shop will provide you with the ability to use any music you save from any level for the menu or practice mode.

As for items, Geometry Dash 2.2 brings a brand new collectible called Moon. The player will receive a certain number of moons after completing any level in normal mode (excluding user-level versions). This item helps you unlock icons and achievements as you progress.

In particular, players will be able to challenge in two brand new game modes: Dash Level and The Tower (including four small levels). The difficult challenges have once again increased to the highest level. The almost insurmountable peak difficulty of these rounds will continue to be addictive for avid Geometry Dash players. Let's learn more about these two appealing additions!

Explore Two Fresh Challenges

Dash

The first main level added in Geometry Dash 2.2 is the Dash level. This is the 22nd level of the game and is rated with the Insane level. In this round, you will experience controlling the new interface of the main object, Swing. In addition, Dash's map also has the first appearance of purple spider balls, a custom camera that rotates the entity's direction, and does not require a mirror gate. The fun isn't just that. These movements will even rotate the game screen horizontally, vertically, or even in a circle. This feature once again brings a new challenge to the participants' peak reflexes.

With these changes, the way the terrain is arranged in the round also has certain differences. The sudden movement not only comes from platforms on both sides of the screen; it also comes from previously fixed points. The thrill in each operation will increase exponentially with the left and right tilting movements of objects. Plus, you won't need to pay attention to the color of the transformation portal to know your character's next form. Geometry Dash 2.2 will let you know with a small icon attached to the switch port of each entity state.

Dash levels also feature 3 secret coins located in locations that are extremely difficult to collect.

  • The first coin is located at 14% of the second cube segment. The player moves the object through a small path, touches a series of blocks with icons, touches the red jumping pad, and jumps down from a platform to collect the item.
  • After undergoing a series of rotations of the terrain, the entity stabilizes in its swing shape. You control the object to avoid the fireballs in the first kink and jump up at 37% to collect the second coin.
  • You pass the challenge in a closed cellar, then enter the ship section and collect the last coin at the beginning of this section.

The Tower

The Tower acts as a hub for levels in Platformer mode with four gameplay rounds. True to its name, this mode appears in the shape of a tower with a blue roof, a small lock-shaped window, and a main door located on a small island. The Tower's four levels include: The Tower, The Sewers, The Cellar, and the Secret Hollow. Are you ready for the series of extremely charming innovations that appear in these rounds to explore awkward maps and overcome them?

Your entire adventure in this mode of Geometry Dash 2.2 takes place on the mystical tower floors. You will have to overcome countless traps, including existential, hidden, and temporary traps. Get ready for adventures never seen before in previous rounds, with new objects and movements. Move left and right, climb stairs, jump up steps, or do whatever you can to escape these murky tower floors. Besides tricky obstacles, it also features bizarre creatures such as bats, human skeletons, and even monsters.

You explore the levels in sequence. At the end of each round, there will be surveillance cameras. Can you safely get through this checkpoint? Additionally, secret coins will also appear at this point. The player directs the character to jump up, touch three blocks with "+" symbols to make coins appear, and collect them. However, the coins will not appear easily. You need to collect enough items that each block requires to unlock coins. That's not all; to completely conquer this mode, you will have an extremely thrilling boss fight in the final round. Show off your talented navigation skills to avoid all attacks and escape!

What is new in Gauntlets?

Geometry Dash 2.2 updates five new Gauntlets including World, Galaxy, Universe, Discord, and Split. Each of these Gauntlets consists of five rounds, which you need to complete in order to unlock and conquer the entire level. The challenges continue to be formidable, with most rounds being ranked at Harder, Insane, and Demon levels. The mode with the most moderate difficulty is Discord with Normal, Hard, and Harder levels.

The valuable rewards from each round will also enhance your impressive achievements. Mana orbs, diamonds, stars, and user coins are waiting for you to collect. After completely conquering any Gauntlets, players also receive a prize set with diamonds, orbs, keys, and new skins for the main entity. Choose a Gauntlet that suits your control ability and try it out now!

The Signature and New Gameplay

Does Geometry Dash 2.2 have the same gameplay as the original? The answer is yes. This latest update retains the most iconic controls of the Geometry Dash series. Get ready with consecutive mouse clicks on the screen or press the spacebar like a pro to overcome all obstacles in the map. However, this maneuver method only appears in the Dash level.

So, what's different about object navigation in the Platformer mode? In this new update, players can move the main entity left or right as desired. You will no longer need to follow a fixed automatic right direction. The character can even stop until you make the next control operation. What are you waiting for? Start your adventure right away and experience new maneuvering commands right away!

Platformer Mode - How to Beat these Challenges?

With features appearing for the first time, The Tower of Geometry Dash 2.2 brings countless difficulties to conquering it. Here are some tips to master these maps:

  • Blue coins - the condition to unlock the last stage coins - are always located in the most difficult-to-see locations. You need to complete some short quests or move into fake walls to collect this item. The wall containing blue coins is usually in a state with some cracked bricks.
  • Don't move too fast or continuously. The Tower allows players to control as they wish, and you can manage the character's movement speed. Therefore, moving too fast is unnecessary when you are not familiar with the terrain on the map.
  • Explore how obstacles work and where they are located before attempting to overcome them. This means you can spend a few tries learning about the design of the map first. Because the maneuvering command in Geometry Dash 2.2 has changed, the types of terrain and barriers also have unique characteristics. Practicing many times is extremely necessary to completely conquer these levels. Practice makes perfect; let's try it!
  • During the boss fight segment in the final round, the player tries to make the object move to both sides. Monster lasers will aim randomly or directly at the main entity. Moving around the center will make the safe range narrower.

With attractive additional features, necessary bug fixes, and new challenging rounds, Geometry Dash 2.2 truly brings a worth-trying experience, especially for Dashers. New levels not only require quick reactions and precise timing but also rely on careful observation and experience after each failed turn. You can progress with each turn, face unique obstacles and map twists, and discover hidden secrets in each tower level. Join now to follow the vibrant rhythms that master this awkward game!
