How to Play
The "How to Play" section contains instructions for playing Geometry Dash. However, this section is still not updated with the latest mechanics and gamemodes, only featuring instructions for controlling the cube, ship, using jump rings, and using Practice Mode.
Help
The Help screen is actually the credits screen. The player can also send a message to RobTop via email if there are any issues with the game. Low Detail Mode can also be toggled there, which limits the number of special effects like particles from the jump rings and portals in order to increase the performance for low-end devices.
Options
Options allows the player to set certain features which will optimize their gameplay experience.
- Auto-Retry: Automatically respawns the player after every crash. When deactivated, a popup showing the percentage achieved appears instead. Enabled by default.
- Auto-Checkpoints: Automatically place checkpoints while in practice mode. Enabled by default.
- Load songs to memory: Songs are loaded intro memory before playing. Increases load time but can improve performance.
- Smooth Fix: Makes some optimizations that can reduce lag. Disable if game speed becomes inconsistent. This option was added in Update 1.921. Enabled by default.
- Disable explosion shake: Removes the mild shake effect produced when crashing.
- Flip pause button: Shows the pause button on the left instead of the right of the screen
- Show Percentage: Show the current percentage next to the progress bar.
- Increase Max levels: Increases the maximum saved levels from 20 to 100.
- Increase Max Undo/Redo: Increases undo limit in the level editor from 200 to 1000.
- Flip 2-Player Controls: Flip which side controls which player during 2-player dual mode.
- Always Limit Controls: Player 1 controls are limited to one side even when dual mode is inactive.
- No Song Limit: Custom songs are no longer auto-removed to save space.
- Higher audio quality: Switches samplerate from 24000 to 44100. This requires a restart to enable.
- Music offset (ms): Adjusts the offset of the music, should device issues cause the music to be unsynced with the level.
- Saved Music: Shows a list of the custom soundtracks downloaded. The player can also play them as if were a music player.
