# Why is Geometry Dash Considered So Challenging Yet Addictive?

I’ve recently started playing **[Geometry Dash](https://answers.mindstick.com/blog/312/geometry-dash-delivers-a-true-skill-based-experience)** and I’m amazed at how such a simple-looking [game](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/44320/web-development-trends-that-are-changing-the-game) can be so difficult and addictive at the same time. The rhythm-based platforming, the [constant](https://www.mindstick.com/interview/1433/how-do-you-define-a-constant) jumping, flying, and flipping through obstacles make it really intense.

I find myself replaying the same level over and over just to get a little further each time. It can be frustrating but also really satisfying when I finally pass a tough section.

**My [question](https://www.mindstick.com/interview/1517/explain-what-are-the-new-media-elements-in-html5-is-canvas-element-used-in-html5) is:** What makes Geometry Dash so appealing to players despite its high [difficulty level](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/11735/the-papers-of-any-difficulty-level-to-our-proficient-writers)? Is it the [music](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/323661/master-your-music-with-these-free-desktop-mp3-and-audio-apps), the fast-paced action, or the sense of [achievement](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/39297/who-has-been-honored-with-the-2018-ibrahim-prize-for-achievement-in-african-leadership) after beating a level?

I’d [love](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/126121/love-is-money-money-is-love) to hear [your thoughts](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/94864/what-are-your-thoughts-and-the-pros-and-cons-of-ios-13) and [experiences](https://www.mindstick.com/news/3093/meta-launches-quest-subscription-for-vr-headsets) with the game.
