Geometry Dash - vA1.6.7
Geometry Dash vA1.6.7 - Comprehensive Scratch Remake in Alpha Development
Geometry Dash vA1.6.7 represents an ambitious Scratch-based recreation of the iconic rhythm platformer, currently operating as an alpha version that continues to evolve with regular updates. This project meticulously rebuilds the Geometry Dash experience from the ground up with its own codebase and implementation.
Core Gameplay & Current Features
The game delivers the essential Geometry Dash mechanics: control a cube character that jumps using spacebar, mouse click, or up arrow keys. Navigate through hazardous environments while avoiding deadly spikes and utilizing cubes as landing platforms. Basic level selection infrastructure is implemented, preparing for future content expansion.
Version A1.6.7 Specifics & Development Status
This release temporarily removes the level editor due to save/load code issues, with restoration planned for the next update. Development progress shows 45.91% completion on the editor system. The project is currently paused due to family matters, but vA1.7 is already planned with substantial additions including the first playable level, ship and wave game modes, working Y-axis camera movement, and expanded movement options.
