Have You Ever Tried It Before? There’s a never-ending stream of gaming retrospectives to be found on the internet. One a day, every day, potentially for the rest of my life.
In an episode of Black Books, Manny discovers that he is capable of playing the piano flawlessly on his first try. “I’m Bill Baileying it,” a word that denotes instantaneous and spontaneous mastery in my family’s language, which is almost exclusively comprised of allusions to television and film, is used to describe instant and impromptu mastery in my family’s language. The narrator explains, “I have no idea what is going on or how I am doing this. I want it to stop right now, but I also want it to go on forever.”
Have you ever had a chance to play the game Geometry Dash?
Geometry Dash is a reaction-based game that may be played by pressing a single button. In order to complete your mission, you must hop your small cube over or around several obstacles while listening to music that has been so ingrained in my memory that I can recall it at a moment’s notice. If you miss a jump or collide with an obstacle, you will die and will have to start over from the beginning of the level. You’ve already decided whether you’ll enjoy or despise this title.
Because I am a masochist, I find these types of games to be very appealing. It’s the games that look at you with one raised brow and say, “Squint!” “Oh, you think you’re some kind of game master, do you? Do you consider yourself to be someone who thinks quickly? Try this on for size, you’ll like it. Geometry Dash is the best game for accomplishing this, as its learning curve changes considerably from level to level when new elements like as bounce pads and small blue creatures that reverse gravity are added. Throughout the game, you will travel via a portal and transform into a spaceship on a number of occasions. Because I felt it detracted from the game, I never utilized Practice Mode, which I believe is a mistake. It’s an outrageously punishing and difficult game, especially if you don’t use Practice Mode.
What was I thinking when I kept on with it?
Those several occasions when I’d finally get through that perplexingly difficult area of the level that I’d been stuck on for 10 minutes and discover new things, necessitating me to respond to them on the fly with little opportunity to consider or plan. A baffled hairy-bald man ranting and playing the piano with no idea what he’s doing comes to mind when I’m in that state of mind during those moments.
The man in charge is Bill Bailey, and I can only say that this is a fantastic time-waster and a pleasurable experience overall. Working on community initiatives will begin to feel like a job if you spend all of your time in this game doing so. I can see why I’ve put in more than 16,000 hours into this game, but I’m not sure I should be proud of myself for that.
