Geometry Dash Clone (Pygame)

A small Geometry Dash-inspired game written in Python with Pygame. The project includes a start menu, simple settings screen, side-scrolling gameplay, collision detection, particles and a death animation.

Features

• Start menu with buttons
• Auto-running player with jump mechanic
• Tile-based level loaded from a text map
• Camera tracking
• Background scrolling
• Particle trail and death animation
• Relative asset loading (no hardcoded local paths)
