This Is The Only Level

August 8, 2009 · Posted in Platformer 

After a ridiculous and inexcusable five month hiatus, Today’s Free Game is BACK and better than ever! Well… it’s back, at least. I honestly can’t promise that it will be better than ever. But it should at least be as good as it was before… and that’s something, right? Thank you very much for all the commenters & well-wishers wishing for TFG’s return.

The Scoop: This is the Only Level from jmtb02 bears more than a passing resemblance to his 2008 hit Achievement Unlocked. Elephants, polka music, spiky deaths, cute & clever puzzles… it’s all here! I still like AU a little more overall I think, but there’s no denying that TitTO has more meat on its bones.

The goal of the game’s single stage is to make it from the entrance to the exit. True to the game’s word, there is only one level. Spikes, platforms… no elements are ever moved. The catch is that every time you exit, you’re sent back to the beginning, with new twists designed to keep gamers guessing & on their toes.

In one stage the controls have been reversed. In another the camera is super-zoomed in. In another, you’re only allowed to jump one single time. You get the idea.

It’s a great little title that doesn’t overstay its welcome. The 7-10 minute runtime is perfect – I conquered all the stages just about when I felt like the experience might be getting a little on the long side.

    lol, fun. It reminds me of the ‘neverending game’ somehow. The music had me slapping my lederhosen.
