X is a 2.0 Easy Demon collaboration created by TriAxis and TamaN and verified and published by TriAxis. TamaN created the last half of gameplay, while TriAxis did the rest. The level is mainly focused on gameplay and not design, unlike many other Demons made in 2.0. The level does not seem to have a set theme or style, constantly changing its design. X received praise for its gameplay, design, and music sync. It is the 7th most-liked Demon in the game, and continues to be popular for its entry-level difficulty. The level is dedicated to EricVanWilderman, a popular Geometry Dash player.

Gameplay

The level starts as an easy half-speed cube section with a red-coloured background and a unique design scheme. The cube then transitions into a double-speed robot with somewhat difficult jumps and timed jump rings, but the level remains relatively easy. After this robot, the music rapidly picks up pace and heads into a triple-speed ship with a new grey colour scheme and a very different design. This part is pretty easy and does not require much flying skill to pull off despite having multiple moving objects. It then quickly transitions into a UFO with some fairly simple timings to get down, then into a brief ball with one jump ring to hit and a potential bug. Afterwards, the player transitions into a cube with a teleportation portal pair. The teleportation portals will take the player to another much easier triple-speed ship with more moving objects. This ship then transitions into a moderately annoying mini-UFO with a couple of jump orbs and a simple half-speed mini-cube with two jumps. This cube then switches to a wave and a brief cube, followed by a robot and ship in quick succession, ending as a ball. This ball section is quite confusing, but it is relatively easy with a little practice. After this, a cube quickly follows up and enters a dual. It is possible to fall below the portal and skip the dual but eventually die at 62%.

This dual starts as a cube/robot dual and then turns into a regular dual ball. Both of these are relatively easy. The dual then transitions into a brief cube, a difficult ship and a wave. The ship and wave both are triple-speed and have arguably confusing-to-learn timings. It then transitions to another easy robot segment and into a brief automatic ship segment, followed by a relatively simple cube and robot segment. The last segment of X is slow and mostly goes at single- or double-speed. A very easy cube and wave section follow, followed by a sort of mini-maze of breakable blocks with three teleportation portals to go through. These portals lead to a brief but annoying wave segment. After this, a final UFO segment follows at double-speed with very easy and music-synced timings to make. After the UFO part, the player transitions to a mini-wave and then a ship, a part which has infamously caused many players to crash, for a very carefully timed click must be made to direct the ship into a narrow area with breakable blocks. It then turns into one last very fast cube which is nearly auto except for one green jump ring. The level then ends with the creator's name "triaXis" to make a pun on the level's name.

User coins

This level has three user coins, which are simple to obtain. However, the second coin is perhaps the most confusing one of all three.

1. The first coin is easily visible and simple to get. It is located in the UFO and is easy to get. It is, however, behind a fake block.
2. The second coin is probably the most difficult in the level and is confusing to get. The player has to click to send their ball up, but by altering their gravity, and when they hit the green orb, they should fly into a fake block passage and get the second coin. They should not hit the blue orb after that.
3. The third and final coin is in the short breakable block-pillar maze near the end of the level. It is at the topmost teleportation portal.

Trivia

• This level was in first place in the featured list.
• Riot said he does not believe the level should get a first-place feature in a stream, stating he had seen much better levels that deserved the top-place feature.
• Two levels, named Y by knobbelboy and Geomania and Z by Zyzyx, were inspired by this level.
• Complazra once joked about X being an Extreme Demon because of the X in the word "extreme".
• Using a colourblind hack would create a visual error that makes it so that the second yellow orb is more to the right and lower down than it is supposed to be at 14-15%.
