Players need to become masters of time and accuracy to beat geometry dash. To leap, press up, w, space, ctrl, shift, or just click. This is very useful when you come across yellow circles. But be extremely careful, for there are spikes waiting to derail your progress around every turn.

Using the dynamic gameplay mechanics of holding to ascend and releasing to fall, players may navigate the dangerous terrain in ship mode. If you want to do high jumps, look for the yellow pads. If you want even higher jumps, look for the blue pads. You can increase the difficulty and get bonus points by collecting coins as you go.
