Only Up!

Only Up! takes a simple premise—jumping upward—in 3D platform game to make it a nerve-wracking and unforgettable moment. Buried among the ground-up reimaginings of classics like age of Empires and Starcraft, this skill-based title has developed a cult fan base that appreciates the casual gamers and young people eager for fun, light browser-style games that test focus and patience. Only Up! eschew spacey combat and complex mechanics, for straight plat-formerr tension, on every single bounce.

How to Play Only Up!

Only Up! is about moving, timing and self-restraint. No enemies, no countdown, no score multipliers. The challenge arises entirely from the terrain. You jump across pipes, floating crates, tilted planks, suspended trains and strange things hanging in the air.

The biggest twist is the punishment for mistakes. You do not have to stop playing because you fell—but you can lose a lot of progress. A single bad jump can send Jack tumbling all the way down, making patience’s reward seem like a tease.
