Thìs ís thê Only Level

[Virgil Showlion]

Find a fiendishly clever game @ armorgames.com/play/4309/this-is-the-only-level. (I vouch for the safety of the link.)

Can you beat Virgil's score of:

13:44:100
Deaths: 71

(the above was earned without any hints)

Oh, goody! I was getting bored tonite. I've been looking for something to fill in the time. I hope this is a nerdy game - I haven't played one for quite a while. If I get a good score I'll let you know. I'll even let you know if I get a lousy score.

After killing 600+ elephants, I gave up not-so-graciously. They are, after all, an endangered species. ;D

[ՏՇԾԵԵʅՏɧ_LԹՏՏʅҼ]

I was able to get the elephant to jump past the spikes, but once it hit the wall, there was nowhere for it to go but up, and it couldn't jump high enough to reach the platform.

I only killed 37 elephants before giving up and going back to playing Mahjong

Now if you can find me a free online "Pitfall" game, I'll be very happy.

(Darn, I miss my old Atari gaming system from back in the day).

13:44:100 ?

I started to play, but I'm super distracted right now with other stuff, so I'll look at it more later (the striped level was killing my elephants too fast!)

[Virgil Showlion]

The trick to the game is there's a puzzl-y way to win every stage. The name of each stage is a hint.

If you're consistently massacring elephants, you're not thinking outside the box.

I wasn't killing them, but in the tutorial, it showed the wall at the right hand side being half-way up - making it low enough for the elepphant to scale it. In the actual game, the wall was solid, so there was no space at the top for the elepant to pass over. I'll try it again - AFTER I make a libation. It might improve my skill. I usually catch on to this type of game pretty quickly, although they're easier to play with a joystick, rather than the arrow/alt/spacebar keys.

I haven't checked out the game but I am surprised Virgil hasn't worked some of his magic so snow leopards are being killed instead of elephants.

I wasn't killing massive amounts of elephants until they screwed around with level 2....

I wasn't killing massive amounts of elephants until they screwed around with level 2.

They screw around with every level. The game is as much about lateral thinking as about skillful platforming.

The level names are extremely important to figuring out what to do in some cases.

13:44:100 ?

My first attempt at the game resulted in a completion time of 13 minutes, 44 seconds, and 71 elephant deaths.

My subsequent speedrun attempt netted me 7 minutes, 14 seconds and 30 elephant deaths. Not too shabby.

[Apple]

I made it to 27, then my computer decided to start doing a virus scan and slowed down. Stupid computer.

Too bad killing elephants wasn't the POINT of the game. I was good at that. Sort of like the crashing helicopter game.

[Apple]

18:46:40
92 deaths

Tomorrow I'll try to play when the computer is done freezing up on me (now that I know all the secrets...)

[Virgil Showlion]

Way to go, apple!

[Apple]

Thank you

I tried to play last night, but when I hit the "winds" my slow computer response was working against me, no matter how fast I hit the button my elephant couldn't move. Today I'm stealing the son's lap top...

[Virgil Showlion]

In the winds level, hold down the button.

[Apple]

lol, that does work a bit better

[Apple]

7:48:07 26 Deaths--that striped level still kicks my butt, I think I lost 15-20 of my elephants there.

[Apple]

6:40:75 10 Deaths

Ok, time to email this to a few people...

[Artemis Windsong]

I won't intentinally harm an elephant even in a game.
