How can I create Geometry Dash-style effects in After Effects?

I’m learning Adobe After Effects and I’m interested in creating short gaming-style animations inspired by the fast-paced visuals of Geometry Dash. I’d like to experiment with glowing objects, transitions, motion effects, and beat-synced animations.

While looking for Geometry Dash-related resources, I came across Geometry Dash APKs and it gave me some ideas for the type of gaming visuals I could recreate as an animation project.

For someone just starting with After Effects, which effects and techniques would you recommend learning first for this kind of energetic gaming-style animation?
