However, the player can also add their own checkpoints and remove previous checkpoints. The game will automatically place regular checkpoints throughout the stage. If the player is getting frustrated from frequent failures, the game offers a practice mode for each level.
You have to complete the entire level with coins in hand in order to have them saved. If you fail the level, you lose the coins. I was on attempt 30 before I realized it.Įach stage has three gold coins that need to be found and collected by the player and are often placed precariously throughout a given level. The game also tells you how many times you attempted a stage in a sitting and what your completion percentage rate is. I only became frustrated in the game after an ad played the moment I died, which felt like a slap in the face. An abundance of patience is also helpful so players don’t rage, quit and throw their poor phone against a wall. Lots of trial and error is needed in order to successfully complete each level. The placement of both items constitutes the kind of steep challenge that’s more likely to cause the player to game over than it is to see them meet with any measure of success. There are also jump rings, which are elevated circles that allow the player to double jump. Some of the stages have shining platforms on the ground that will cause the player to automatically jump when touched. Each level offers new elements such as sections that require the player to fly a rocket and flip the game’s gravity. The game’s music and visuals mesh together extremely well and evolve as the player progresses through each stage. What best sets Meltdown apart from previous installments are its new stages, amazing soundtrack, and fun neon colors. Watching videos or reading walkthroughs will be of little help. Successfully completing a stage is based entirely on the player’s skill. This is where the notorious rage comes in and is what this series is best known for. As even the slightest mistake will lead to a game over it’s very easy to get upset over miniscule missteps. As simple as the concept sounds, players get really invested in their progress. It’s game over if you touch any obstacle and must start the entire level over again. In the Geometry Dash games players control a small, often square, character across a 2D obstacle course. There are tons of videos on YouTube of people playing these games and if you watch these videos long enough you can see their rage increase as the needle on their sanity meter dips. This installment in the series even has “meltdown” in its title, as if to warn players of what’s to come. Geometry Dash: Meltdown and the previous incarnations of this Android rhythm-based action platformer are famed for being rage inducing. But I couldn’t help but wonder how I’d fair with a game that’s known to induce massive frustration. I’ve never been a gamer who loses her cool when things get crazy.
