In true Rambler fashion, I’ve slacked off at work …devoted precious time and effort to find a way for you to slack off at work …find new ways to entertain yourself. Allow me to show you the latest fruit of those minutes …hours of labor! This game, as the title of the blog says, is called “This Is The Only Level: Adventures in Singularity”!

The name of the game is sort of deceptive, and yet also not. It is definitely not the first game to use the concept of each level having multiple stages, but it is the first game that I’ve seen take it to this extent.
“This Is The Only Level” has 30 stages in the one level, and the design of the “room” is the same in every stage – aside from the color changes and, more importantly, the obstacle to pass to win the level.
While it’s not always easy to figure out, and you will definitely die a few times before the end, the title of each stage gives a hint. In the level pictures above, ‘Candy stripes of doom’, the obstacle is the alternating colors themselves. The color directly under the pipe you emerge from is safe to land on, and it’s alternating color will kill you instantly. You need to jump carefully, get to the red switch and unlock the door way to the exit pipe, then jump carefully to get to the exit pipe.
If nothing else, it is a fun (and occasionally irksome) way to spend a little time, if you find yourself with a computer, internet, and boredom. Have fun, and post comments with your best time and lowest amount of deaths before you reach the end of Stage 30! :)
