Geometry Dash Azimuth – A Visual Masterpiece in the Portal Gauntlet
Geometry Dash Azimuth is a standout fan-made level by the talented creator Knots, released on October 27, 2021. Meticulously designed with a 4-star Hard difficulty, the game is the opening installment in the popular Portal Gauntlet series of challenging games.
Why “Azimuth”? The name reflects the level’s recurring compass and navigation motifs. In real terms, an azimuth is a directional measurement, and Knots skillfully mirrors this concept through visuals, transitions, and animations woven throughout the stage.
Gameplay Overview
Azimuth draws players into a surreal journey filled with shifting modes and stunning visual storytelling. The adventure opens with a slow-paced ball section styled after vintage TV static, complete with the haunting text “STAND BY…”.
Challenges escalate across floating platforms, spikes, and moving scenery before leading into a brief but intense ship phase, where speed and precision are vital. Action quickly ramps up with a cube sequence, featuring rolling platforms, cosmic backdrops, and flowing transitions.
One of the most unforgettable moments arrives between 45–61%:
- A dash orb animation sparks a cinematic sequence—a drifting whale, a compass overlay, and a winged figure that transforms into a butterfly.
- This artistic interlude feels more like an animation showcase than standard gameplay, pausing the action to immerse players in awe.
- The level’s finale features slanted platforms, a disappearing icon trick, and a cinematic ascent paired with the lyric “GET OVER AGAIN”. Finally, swaying platforms, glowing orbs, an inverted floating pyramid, and scattered fireflies bring the experience to a sudden yet striking close.
