I don’t always get behind those experimental flash-based “rethinking what is is to be a game” type games. This one is just too clever and fun to ignore.

Stop whatever you’re doing and go play This is the Only Level. There’s only one level! See that screenshot? That’s it. That’s the level. You press the button to open the door and go to the pipe. And then you play the same level…again. Only this time it’s different. A short phrase in the lower left gives you a clue as to how things are different, and some trial and error is involved, but that’s really what this game is about. It’s about taking a single, extremely simple level and wringing as much gameplay as possible out of it by altering the rules of the environment.

Jonathan Blow would love it.
