Geometry Dash Lite is a rhythm-based platformer where players tap the screen to make their icon jump. The objective is to navigate through a series of geometric obstacles and spikes in time with the music. Each level presents a unique, challenging sequence that requires precise timing.

The mobile version features responsive touch controls, with gameplay centered on a single input. Players progress through a set of increasingly difficult official levels. The game autosaves progress, and checkpoints are placed throughout each stage.

This free version includes a practice mode to learn difficult sections and a level editor to create custom challenges. Success depends on memorizing patterns and synchronizing jumps with the soundtrack's beat.
