Introduction
This Is The Only Level is a 2009 meta flash platform puzzle game developed by John Cooney (jmtb02) and published by Armor Games. You control a blue elephant as it moves through a single level that repeats over 30 levels, each with a unique twist or gimmick that changes the gameplay, controls, or mechanics.
The game’s appeal lies in its humor, simplicity, and creative challenges that test your problem-solving and adaptability. The goal is to guide the elephant from the left side of the level to the orange exit pipe on the right, usually by pressing the red button to open the green gate, while avoiding spikes that reset the level
How to play
Gameplay
- Objective: Move the blue elephant to the orange exit pipe on the right side of the level. Most stages require pressing a red button to open a green gate blocking the pipe.
- Controls (Default): Use arrow keys—Left/Right to move, Up to jump. Controls may change per stage.
- Hazards: Spikes kill the elephant, resetting the stage. You have unlimited lives.
- Stages: The game has 30 stages, each reusing the same level layout but introducing a new mechanic, such as reversed controls, low gravity, or invisible platforms. Stage titles often hint at the gimmick.
Stage Examples (No Spoilers)
- Stage 1 (Arrow Keys Required): A straightforward stage—use arrow keys to move, jump on the button, and enter the pipe.
- Stage 2 (Not Always Straightforward): Controls are altered, requiring you to adjust your inputs.
- Stage 5 (Freefloating): The environment behaves differently, affecting movement
