Geometry Dash Wave

Geometry Dash Wave is a one-button rhythm game by IceRainWave, published on Yandex Games in January 2024 under the name Geometry Wave: Challenge. You steer the Wave, a small icon that keeps flying forward, through five levels set to music. The goal in each level is to reach the finish without hitting any obstacle.

Up while you hold, down when you let go

The Wave has only two directions. Hold the button and it flies up, let go and it flies down, so every gap you fly through comes down to when you press and when you release. The Wave is allowed to touch the floor and the ceiling, so only the obstacles in between end an attempt. The game is built around quick reactions and precise movement.

Five levels, each with its own track

There are five levels, and the difficulty goes up from one to the next. Every level has its own rhythmic music. The game remembers which levels you have unlocked and how far you got in each, so you can pick up where you left off from the level select screen. The look is plain and minimal, with simple shapes on a dark background.

Respawns and skins

When you crash, the respawn puts the Wave back one second along the track instead of at the start of the level. That means you replay only the part that caught you. A separate skin screen holds ten skins for the Wave, so you can change how your icon looks between runs.

Where the Wave comes from

The Wave is a game mode from Geometry Dash, the rhythm platformer by Robert Topala, where it was added in update 1.9 in November 2014. Geometry Wave: Challenge is not made by RobTop. It is a separate game built in GameMaker that takes the Wave mode on its own and turns it into a full set of levels.

Controls

On a computer, hold the left mouse button or the space bar to make the Wave fly up, and release it to make the Wave fly down. Press Esc or P to pause. On a phone or tablet, hold your finger on the screen to fly up and lift it to fly down.
