Geometry Egg Dash

The hero is an egg, and every level name is an egg pun, but the spikes don't care about either. Geometry Egg Dash is a free rhythm platformer you play in your browser. You jump an auto-running egg over spikes, gears and walls across 3 levels, pick from a rack of egg skins, and build your own courses in the Creator.

Key Controls

• Jump: LEFT-CLICK, SPACE or UP ARROW

How It Works

Geometry Egg Dash sends your egg forward on its own, so the only call you make is when to leave the ground. Spikes sit on the floor, gears spin in the gaps and walls block the path, and touching any of them ends the attempt. Portals along the way change the egg's form, so the same input can do something different on the far side of one.

The 3 levels climb in difficulty: Shell Shock is rated 1 star, Egg-static 2 stars and Cracked Up 3 stars, and none of them needs unlocking first. Before a run you pick an egg from the skin picker. Alongside the 3 levels, the Geometry Egg Dash game gives you the Creator, where you build courses of your own and share them for other players to attempt.

1. Pick an egg skin from the menu.
2. Start with Shell Shock, the 1-star level.
3. Click, press SPACE or press UP ARROW to jump each spike.
4. Watch for portals that change the egg's form.
5. Clear Egg-static, then Cracked Up.
6. Open the Creator to build and share a level of your own.

What Makes It Stand Out

• 3 levels, rated 1 to 3 stars. Shell Shock, Egg-static and Cracked Up, all open from the start.
• 14 egg skins. Every run starts with choosing which egg to risk.
• A level Creator. Build a course and share it for others to play.
• Portals that change the egg. The same jump does different work after a form change.
• Made in Scratch. A fan-built take on the one-button rhythm platformer.
• 3 jump inputs. Click, Space or Up Arrow, whichever your hand prefers.
• Made in Scratch. The Geometry Egg Dash Scratch build is a fan mod of an earlier Scratch project.

Getting Started

• Play the levels in star order. Geometry Egg Dash leaves all 3 open, but Shell Shock teaches the jump length the 3-star level assumes you already know.
• Jump at the edge of a gap, not the middle of the platform. The egg's arc is fixed, so an early jump lands short.
• Learn each portal before you race past it. The jump that worked before the portal may not work after it.
• Pick a jump input and keep it. Switching between click and Space mid-level shifts your timing just enough to miss.

Going Further

The fastest way to clear Cracked Up in Geometry Egg Dash is to treat it as a memory test, because the hazards sit in the same place every run and the rhythm of the jumps never changes. Portals are where most runs change character, so the stretch right after each one deserves the slowest, most careful attempts. Progression is the climb from 1 star to 3 and whatever you build yourself, since no level has to be unlocked. The Creator is the real long game: a level you design teaches you why the 3-star level is placed the way it is, and sharing it gives other players a course nobody has memorized yet.

Mistakes Worth Avoiding

• Starting with Cracked Up. The 3-star level assumes timing the first 2 levels teach.
• Jumping early at gaps. The fixed arc lands you short.
• Ignoring a portal. The egg after it may not move like the egg before it.
• Building an impossible Creator level. Nobody plays a course nobody can finish.

Similar Rhythm Platformer Games

If the egg hero was half the charm, Egg Dash gives you another jumping, rolling egg and a spike-lined course with a finish line to reach. If you liked having a short set of levels to learn by heart, Geometry Dash Subzero packs 3 music-synced levels, Press Start, Nock Em and Power Trip, into one run. For a seasonal take on the same one-button jumping, Geometry Spooky Dash swaps the egg for a cube and lines the course with skulls and haunted blocks. More in Geometry Games.

Final Thoughts

This is a short, sweet rhythm platformer with a sense of humor about its own hero, and the Creator keeps it going past its 3 levels. Skip it if you want a long campaign or anything to unlock. Play Geometry Egg Dash online for a few attempts at Cracked Up and you'll know quickly whether the egg has hooked you.
