Genius Free Steam Game Only Lets One Single Person At A Time Play It

Jono is a free Steam platformer built around a shared, one-player-at-a-time challenge: one person plays while others watch, then control passes to the next player. Its unusual format has drawn long queues and turned progress through its huge set of levels into a collective effort.

Each player gets one minute, and if they die, the next person continues from that point. The game contains one million randomly generated levels, with permanent progress and player-created levels; the developer estimates it could take until mid-2027 to reach the end, even if about 5,000 levels are cleared daily. The developer says the game will remain free and will not be monetised.
