Please spend your time playing something else :p I don't wanna call it a waste of time (because it wasn't, it'll always be a game I can look back on fondly), but out of the over 2500+ hours I have across many devices, and with the benefit of hindsight, I can tell you that this is just a mobile game, one that has been mostly community-run for the past decade+ and that, despite how much you can get out of, despite how much people are getting out of it (perhaps you've seen someone show off something just to hit you with the "this was made in geometry dash btw" before?)... I really just don't know how worth it is it?

I want to make it clear that this is saying a lot more about how my stance with this game has been changing over the years rather than what I think from a more "objective" standpoint, I am a someone who has been on the community for over half of my life, I haven't achieved anything significant unlike many players who eventually get a rated level, beat multiple extreme demons, or have crazy stats that show that they have in fact, done something with all that time spent. My experience, or the things I remember the most about it: are all those nights I spent listening to my downloaded songs, thinking what levels I could've made and trying to envision a finished product, every unfinished layout I could never get myself to finish, and if I did, I would forget about and downplay as "rushed", every practice run I did on a difficult level, that I never got around grinding from 0 because I simply stopped having fun, the tens of thousands of attempts on things wayyy above my skill, getting home from school and turn on my computer, play the same main, map pack or dorabae basic levels over and over again trying to turn my brain off for a while, the years of waiting for an update, which always led to letdowns followed by amusement with just how much creators and players seemed to grow and evolve in spite of it, and when 2.2 finally came out and I grinded the hell out of platformer levels, right before I, at last, fell out of love with this game.

There's definitely a lot to this game, for anyone who engages with it as much as I have, this is on the leagues of MMOs and all the modern multiplayer PvP games in terms of how much replay value you can get out of it. And for me personally, all those games can easily become a waste of time if you just let yourself fall back to them only to seek comfort...
