Niklot “Tolkin” Stüber is considered one of the toughest German pros in League of Legends, with nerves of steel. The 25-year-old also has a Twitch channel where he mostly showcases LoL, but not always. Now, he has discovered a new game available for €10 on Steam, and he is really struggling with it. Both Trymacs and Papaplatte are also having a hard time with “Only Up!”.
What kind of game is this?
- “Only Up!” was released on May 24, 2023, on Steam. It costs €10. The game has only 64% positive reviews on Steam. It has been criticized in the reviews for bugs and for primarily selling NFT outfits.
- It is similar to “Jump King” or “Getting Over It”, a patience game with a high chance of frustrating players.
- The player must constantly move upwards by jumping. His goal is to reach the top of the world. If he makes a mistake, he falls and has to climb back up again.
Here you can see a trailer for “Only Up!”:
Who is failing here? Tolkin (25) is a former LoL pro who didn’t quite make it into the super league LEC, but dominated the German regional league “Prime League” instead.
In 2022, he was technically in professional retirement and had started a “normal job”, but then played with a team of “LoL retirees” so strongly that he achieved promotion to the first league. However, he couldn’t play there because Riot’s rules clashed with his stream.
There was a fantastic moment from Tolkin when his team was actually losing, with which he turned around and ultimately won the series.
After a €100 donation, Tolkin wants to make his viewer proud
This is how Tolkin fails at Only Up!: The streamer seems to be in good spirits. Just now, 50 subs came in as a donation, so around €100, which he wanted to repay with a particularly great jump.
Tolkin calls out, “Ben, I want to make you proud. Ben, are you watching? Ben, are you focused?”
Of course, he messes up the jump, crashing past every saving ledge and corner while desperately calling out “Ben” and grappling with his fate.
In the end, somehow, it’s Ben’s fault.
This is the most popular clip of Only Up! in Germany from last week.

It is a tradition for German streamers to struggle with such patience games while viewers enthusiastically watch them.
