What is a LEVEL file?
A LEVEL file is a custom level used with Geometry Dash and community-created tools. It stores the data that defines a playable level, including object placement, obstacles, triggers, timing, and references to audio such as .MP3 or .OGG files. The game uses this data to recreate the level's layout and gameplay behavior.
More Information
Unlike the standard .GMD and .GMD2 formats used internally by Geometry Dash, the LEVEL file type is not an official format developed by RobTop Games. It was created for use with the Main Levels Editor mod, which allows users to share levels more easily.
LEVEL files are typically saved as compressed .ZIP archives that contain most of a level's data and assets. In this format, level data is often stored in JSON rather than XML, making it easier to read and modify outside the game.
LEVEL files are mainly used by players and creators who build and share custom levels through modding communities. The Main Levels Editor and related tools allow users to create, test, and organize gameplay elements while ensuring the level remains compatible with the game engine. This format is especially useful for sharing complete levels, since it can bundle data and assets into a single file.
How to open a LEVEL file
You can open LEVEL files with Geometry Dash via mods that support the format, such as tools available through the Geode mod loader. These mods add import options to the level editor, allowing you to load and play the level.
The lil2kki Main Levels Editor tool also allows you to load, modify, and save levels. Since LEVEL files are typically ZIP-based, you can also open them with a file compression tool to view their contents, but this is not required to use them in the game.
