This is the Only Level is the first game in the This is the Only Level series. It’s a puzzle game where every level is the exact same, except each variant has a different gimmick that the player must figure out in order to progress to the next level-- I mean, the same level. You play as the blue elephant famously created by jmtb02.
The level has a simple layout: the elephant spawns on the left side; the exit pipe is on the right, blocked off by a door; in the middle of the stage is a red button that (usually) opens the door when jumped on; between all those is a series of platforms, some of which have spikes.
There are 30 stages, plus an hidden infinite but unwinnable one.
