"Get an angle!"
Geometry Blaster is an Edutainment Game in the Blaster series. It focuses on high school geometry, making it the Blaster game that teaches the most advanced material. It was later released under the title Math Blaster: Geometry.The game opens with Andi, an Earthling teenage girl, finding herself transported to an alien planet known as Dimensia. There, she meets Zoid, who explains that Dimensia has been flattened, quite literally, by the evil Geometrons. Andi and Zoid's mission is to complete a Fetch Quest that will restore the planet's three-dimensionality.
This game provides examples of:
- Always Chaotic Evil: The Geometrons are a race of evil two-dimensional beings.
- Climb, Slip, Hang, Climb: The N-Gon Mountains has this as the result if you get a problem wrong. Get too many wrong and you have to start over.
- Genius Loci: The Sphinx is a living building containing the Dimension Machine. She quizzes Andi and Zoid before opening her doors to let them repair the machine.
- The Guards Must Be Crazy: The Dimension Machine piece in the Pit of Despair is guarded by a sleeping Geometron. Said Geometron stirs if you miss with the Reflecting Laser, but never actually wakes up until you run out of shots. Andi and Zoid aren't exactly quiet either.
- Large Ham: The Sphinx, especially if you answer incorrectly. The Geometrons are also pretty hammy.
- Pungeon Master: The Geometrons have a degree of this. They drop geometry puns whenever they walk by Andi's trailer.
- Punny Name: Subverted with Zoid. His full name is Trap E. Zoid, despite being made of triangles and cones later on.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: The evil Geometrons have red eyes.
- Reflecting Laser: The puzzle in the Pit of Despair involves firing one of these so that it'll hit the weak point on each of a number of Deflector Shields protecting a Dimension Machine piece.
- Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: Zoid, which is lampshaded at the beginning of one of the puzzles. The Sphinx combines this with Large Ham if you answer her questions incorrectly.
- Sinister Geometry: The Geometrons, an Always Chaotic Evil race that flattened Dimensia.
- Token Human: Andi is the only human protagonist in the pre-1999 games.
- The Voice: Andi's mother.
- Whole Episode Flashback: The entire game is framed as Andi telling her mother about the world she just came back from.
- Wizard Classic: The Venerable Apothem is a two-dimensional one made out of triangles. He even has the 2D equivalents of a Robe and Wizard Hat and a Wizard Beard.
- World-Healing Wave: Restoring the Dimension Machine restores Dimensia's natural topography and biosphere.
