This game is mentally and physically damaging. If I have never played this game, I would have actually done productive things with my life, but I have played it (oh have i played it alright.) and it has wounded me so. Thankfully I have moved passed this game and have stopped playing it. The pain is gone but the scar remains. hopefully I can grow bigger than the scar this torturous game left on me.

overall pretty average game 5/10

But for real.
I would like to tell a story about me and this game.

This game did teach me some valuable lessons. When I first played this game I had so much trouble with just the first level. I had terrible hand eye coordination and just generally struggle with processing information quickly even outside of video games. That feeling after I beat that first level made me feel like a king for all but 0.002 seconds. When I looked over at the person next to me at the lunch table looking at me nearly having a spaz attack hunched over at my phone.

I bought the game on steam and slowly progressed though the main levels. It felt like it went by in a week but really it took me months. Then I moved on to some easy demons. That was the majority of my time spent on this game yet it feels like I spent less time doing that than beating the main levels. kind of like the years get shorter as you grow older.

There was a point I plateaued in my ability. I was still stuck on easy demons. there were people with a third of the time I had in the game beating insane demons and here's little autistic s**t me screaming every time I die at nine circles. The game went from improving my reaction time and muscle memory to an unhealthy obsession. I feel as if I associated dying far in a level with physical pain and every time I got far in any level I shook and nearly had a heart attack(slightly over exaggerated) which hindered my ability. I wasn't having fun anymore.

It was about this time that I had this sort of realization that I am almost an adult. I always wanted to be an artist but pushed it away with the excuse that it was too difficult and was beyond me. You know what else I thought was too difficult and beyond me? This game. I quit Geometry Dash and pursued my passion full speed ahead. It didn’t matter if I wasn’t good at first or if I didn't succeed, I just tried again.

For that, I thank this game. I thank it for teaching me that anything is possible, as a gd friend who is also a masochist once said: “Nothing requires skill. You just have to be stubborn.”
