Geometry Dash xStep

The first step into Insane difficulty.

Level Overview

Difficulty: Insane

Stars: 10

Length: Long (approx. 1:30)

Music: xStep by DJVI

xStep is the tenth level of Geometry Dash and the first level to be rated Insane. It introduces Blue Jump Pads and Blue Jump Rings (Orbs). Unlike yellow ones which only push you up, blue objects switch your gravity while simultaneously pushing you in the opposite direction.

Gameplay Mechanics

The blue mechanics add a layer of complexity because they require the player to think about their orientation. If you hit a blue pad on the floor, you'll be launched toward the ceiling and stay there until you hit another gravity switcher.

Secret Coins

Coin #1 (25%)

During the first cube section, perform a well-timed jump off a small platform to reach a hidden coin above the main path.

Coin #2 (50%)

Found in the ship section. Fly into a small gap between vertical blue pillars at the top of the screen.

Coin #3 (95%)

At the very end of the final cube section, drop through a hidden gap in the floor instead of jumping over the last spikes.

xStep Strategy

  • Gravity Awareness: Blue pads can be confusing. Remind yourself that a blue interaction always means a gravity flip.
  • Ball and Ship: xStep uses more frequent mode transitions. Be ready to switch your mindset from jumping to flying or gravity-shifting instantly.
  • Ignore the Distractions: This level has more background decorations and flashing lights. Focus on the hitbox of the blocks.
