XStep

xStep is the tenth level of Geometry Dash and Geometry Dash Lite. It is the first of the six levels with an insane difficulty.

Description
xStep introduces blue gravity pads and rings. It also introduces wavy slabs and thorns along new block design and new cosmetics.

Secret Coins

 * The first secret coin is located at 21% and is collected as the ship. When the player comes to the last spiked structure, they must aim to fly over it. Then they can go down a bit to collect the coin, making sure to fly up immediately after to prevent crashing into the wall.
 * The second secret coin is located at 53% and is collected as the ship. When the passage starts going up again, the player must maneuver the ship into a small hole, then hold up to exit through the other side and proceed as usual.
 * The third secret coin is located at 59% and is collected as the cube. On a platform, there is a double spike followed by a blue pad. To get the coin, the player must jump right next to the spike to land on the pad. Then the player will reach a blue gravity ring; tap on it to continue normally.
