GB Dash
What if Geometry Dash had been created 25 years ago? That's a thought I had in 2023, as I decided to start my journey of demaking this game for the Game Boy Color.
Description
Jump and fly your way through danger along the rhythm in this game featuring four original levels of increasing difficulty. Master all four gamemodes to unlock new colors for your icons!
Controls (Web version)
DPad: Keyboard arrows
A: Z
B: X
START: Enter
SELECT: Shift
Press START or SELECT while playing to open the pause menu.
You can also press space to pause the emulator (which can fix audio issues).
This project is made possible thanks to GBDK 2020 and various tools for GB games development.
binjgb is used for the Web version emulator.
This is a demake of "Geometry Dash", a game made by Robtop.
The font used for the titlescreen and level completion is a modified version of Oxygene-1 by pizzadude.
Download
Install instructions
The game is provided as a .gb ROM for GBC (GameBoy Color) only.
You may need to install a Game Boy Color emulator to play, such as bgb64 on Windows for example.

absolutely amazing have been playing in school for a while alredy and its so much fun,
decided to post since its now completed
Thank you! And wow, I did not expect to ever see a screenshot of the game on a calculator, awesome!
Did you allow miniplay to use your game if you didn't heres the link: https://www.miniplay.com/game/geometry-boy-dash
I did not allow it, as I was not aware that the game was uploaded to miniplay before your comment (thanks!). I see that a lot of website embed the same player, so there's not much I can do, but I guess it's cool as long as people enjoy the game!
this looks cool :)
first, there's geometry dash on the NES, then geometry dash on the game boy color, what's next? geometry dash on the sega genesis/mega drive?
This is really awesome!
hola! im a chr artist for famidash and we would like it if you could join our server! https://discord.gg/PCbwQaZs8K
You Should Update This Game More Often The Fans Will Love It :)
Yessss! Love that you've started making this. I've been playing famidash a bit lately and was wishing there was a GB equivalent. It seems every bit as challenging. :)
I was quite surprised when I discovered famidash a few months ago, I'm glad that I'm not the only one trying to have Geometry Dash on a retro console :D
It's a very fun and challenging experience to make! The coding part is pretty much done, now it's about level and music design. And I can tell it could be challenging... for players this time!
Is cart-save support planned? Would be nice to have progress saved when powering off.
I'm not planning any save system right now, my focus is to fit as much things as possible in a 32 kB cartridge (that's the "challenge" I set myself originally, and it helps me to avoid adding too much features). Since there's no save, every level is already unlocked when booting up the game and progress only affects cosmetics. (Also, I have to say that I haven't looked yet at banking or saves at all, but it may come with future projects!)
Got it & cool! Squeezing games into 32K is a lot fun. :)
