This is the Only Level is a 2009 meta Flash game developed by John Cooney (also known as jmtb02) and published by Armor Games.[2][3][4] The title of the game is a literal description of the game - the whole game takes place in a single level the player has to play over and over again, albeit with several game-changing variations as the game progresses.[5] The game has received an (unofficial) port to PICO-8.[6] Cooney also released two sequels to the game, This is the Only Level Too and This is the Only Level 3.[7] All three games were included in The Elephant Collection, a compilation of 10 games by Cooney that was released in 2023.[8] The game was included on a list of "10 Flash Games That Pushed the Limits of the Genre" in a 2021 Screen Rant listicle.[9]
