Just wondering who has made it to the top?

I can't play it long enough to make the top as it starts to give me vertigo but love watching people fall :)

Jev making it to the top



And Tim falling a very long ways

Honestly not keen on Streamer games. Obviously, they’re good like say Among Us, Getting Over It, Fall Guys etc. Games that are reaction specific.

Was thinking about it, but it just got yanked from steam. Any other legit storefronts to get this from?

There's challenging games and then there's games that just exist to make you mad. Only up seems like it falls into the second category.

Something like this is great if you're a streamer or you're watching and want to be entertained by watching people fail. :messenger_grinning_smiling:

It's interesting definitely but not something I'd want to play on my free time.

Never heard of it but I can see that laughing at people failing at it is way more fun than playing that janky ass shit lol

edit: ah never mind. checked the discussion threads and I guess no one can buy it due to that.

apparently greenmangaming is still selling keys if you want to buy it.

So it's a game designed for the streamers to yell and make stupid faces on cam?

Pretty much. Still, it's been fun watching streamers rage and fail.

I will say there's a specific section in which if you fall, you fall all the way down to the beginning. I've watched a couple of streamers refer to it as a scripted fall. In pretty much all other sections of the game you can recover by landing safely or grabbing onto something. But, in that scripted fall 98% of the time your character will get pushed and not be allowed to grab onto anything. I've seen people lose 7-12 hours of progress. I know his previous game Getting Over It had a similar mechanic but at least that felt random and not scripted. It's shitty in my opinion.

I still think the game looks fun and if it was on PS5 i'd probably get it. Shame about the stolen assets, though.

Now it seems to be back up. I don’t know what the deal is

I love that a game with a simple concept can come out of nowhere, and hit it big.

Haven’t tried it myself, but I did notice it on Twitch.

It's amazing how a game like this can get popular, it's literally just a bunch of store assests mashed together and just tell the user to "get to the top" of the mess
