This game seems like it would get extremely boring, very fast.

What keeps up the interest and replayability?

You could make the same argument about Tetris. Simple games have the capability to be interesting and engrossing.

Yeah you are right. I got bored with Tetris too, but that's just me. I guess this Geometry Wars game wouldn't hold my interest for very long. I'm more into sports and action/adventure.

If you can, you should give it a try if you liked any of the old school arcade shooters like Galaga. It's closer to that than tetris... more action than puzzle. As is the case with many games, watching GW is far less entertaining than actually playing it. I'm not sure how long I could watch someone else play Pac-Man, but I can still enjoy playing it for hours if I'm in the right mood.

His goal here was to score as many points as he could without moving.
