AUSTIN, TEXAS: The 'Only Up!' game, considered to be quite difficult, was finished by famed streamer Ninja in two hours and 18 minutes on his first try. This is a remarkable achievement for him as the challenging video game necessitates a high level of navigational expertise, accurate leaping, and unwavering willpower, and Ninja displayed incredible accuracy and tenacity during his gameplay of traversing the well-designed obstacle course.

The 'Only Up!' game has managed to enthrall streamers worldwide, including IShowSpeed, xQc, and DrDisRespect. While some have made several attempts to finish it, others are still working toward success.

'That was fun'

For Ninja, the narrative developed differently as he took up the infamous game head-on and finished it on his first try, despite having his chat filled with trolls trying to derail him for the majority of the stream. No wonder the streamer's gaming skills have developed throughout his illustrious 'Fortnite' runs, which are an ideal fit for the challenging Only Up!' platformer game. Ninja continued his gameplay regardless of a single tumble 23 minutes into it. He maintained his ascension after rebounding like a genuine champion, giving his fans an exciting show during the July 3 stream.

"That was fun, man. I literally feel like I just completed a long day's work, and I just want to relax now. Is that it?" Ninja said after finishing the game. He even made references to upcoming speedruns, of which 'Only Up!' fans have already started setting the bar, heightening the suspense for his audience. 



 

About the 'Only Up!' game

'Only Up!', a game created by SCKR Games, has been a hit on Twitch since its debut, despite a temporary setback when it was briefly removed from Steam due to a copyright issue. As soon as the game came back on the platform, its popularity soared, leading to a huge amount of downloads. 

According to gamers, a player's patience is severely tested by the game as a single error can send them plummeting back to the beginning if there are no checkpoints. However, traveling through fascinating locations and well-designed environments with cultural references is a reward that's drawing gamers to take up the challenge of playing the game even if they have to go through several trials to reach the end. Notably, there are easter eggs in 'Only Up!' such as pop culture allusions, which will be a delight for those with keen eyes.
