xo is a 2.1 Extreme Demon level created, published, and verified by KrmaL. The level contains no decoration, instead utilizing basic blocks and the pulse trigger as well as a monochromatic color scheme. Its song, "XO" by Irish singer EDEN and covered by Aaron Musselwhite, is notorious for the iconic line "She's in love with the concept".

Description

• 0-10%: The level starts the player off as a mini cube with four mini spike jumps, with each jump adding another spike before launching the player via a jump pad. There is a choke point around 3%, where the player must make a precise green dash orb timing.
• 10-20%: This part of the level contains cube and ship-based gameplay, with straight-fly around 13-14%.
• 20-33%: The level's first drop initially throws the player into mini wave gameplay, with UFO gameplay around 23%, ball gameplay around 26%, cube gameplay around 28%, and ship gameplay around 30%, which has the player navigate a structure that resembles the level's name after going through a dual portal around the end.
• 33-41%: The player is upsized and has to navigate blue orb timings, which pulse either an X or an O when clicked on.
• 41-50%: The player is first thrown into the second verse of the song, with a tight wave section around 44-45%.
• 50-56%: The player is thrown into ball gameplay, with a ship section around 54%.
• 56-62%: The player turns back into a mini cube and has to navigate a narrow corridor containing spike jumps and orb timings.
• 62-80%: The second drop initially throws the player into normal-sized wave gameplay, with ball gameplay around 67%, UFO gameplay around 69%, robot gameplay around 71%, ship gameplay around 73%, and finally cube gameplay around 74% containing pink orb spam.
• 80-91%: Ditto to 33-41% except the pulses are larger.
• 91-100%: The level ends with the player navigating messy slope structures, with an auto gravity portal section at the end.
