Go Up is a platform game, but with quite an original twist, to advance in the game, you frequently have to leave one side of the game window and enter the other side, often jumping up, or down, to a platform on the way.As well as this novel form of progress, there are the usual spiky objects to avoid, switches to trip, invisible blocks to find and coins to collect.
The game graphics are basic and the game runs in rather a small window, but you tend to forget that, as the gameplay is good.The background music can be turned off, which is just as well, as it gets very repetitive. The few sound effects are pretty good, with the exception of the mans scream as he dies, that gets very annoying and needs an off switch.The help file is currently fragmented, with bits here and there, it would be better as one comprehensive help page.
There are twentysix levels altogether. The main game has sixteen levels, plus five bonus levels, which are unlocked as your score increases.There is a challenge mode, where you have just one life to complete five levels. You can download extra levels from the authors web site, although currently only one is available.There is no level editor, which is a shame, as the game is ideally suited to user created levels.The levels get steadily harder as you progress through the game and some are quite tricky, with the most obvious path to take, not being the actual path you should take.Your game progress is saved as you complete levels and there is the occasional waypoint at the start of tricky sections.
Go Up is quite a good game, innovative and fun to play.I have got as far as level ten, on the main levels and unlocked three of the bonus levels (completed two). I found the challenge mode very tricky only reaching the second level!
