Try to stay alive for as long as possible, by avoiding various enemies and obstacles while collecting as many apples as your heart desires. Play against friends, unlock cool cosmetics or achieve a new highscore. The choice is up to you.
Upward is an procedural generated 2D platformer, where your objective is to survive for as long as possible. You will be challenged by various enemies, different types of traps and a wide variety of fun levels. Random map generation ensures that every attempt feels unique and exiting, while letting you slowly learn the map patterns and path to improve.


Compete against your friends to see who can stay alive for the longest. Use shortcuts, trick enemies or simply block your companions, to gain an advantage over your peers. In Upward you have the choice between either Local or Online Multiplayer, so you never have to miss an exiting moment with your friends.


While attempting to stay alive, you will collect Apples, which are the currency in Upward. Apples are used to buy cosmetics, which range from Skins, Themes and Accent, that you may use to change up how the game looks. There are currently a wide selection of options for either category, with more planned in the future!


While attempting to stay alive, the game will log statistics about your gameplay, which can viewed in the statistics menu, to gain valuable insight about your playstyle and history. Challenge your friends to see who can reach the biggest high-score, or see who died the most to the happy mushrooms.

Upward is currently under active development with more features and content planned for the near future. We are actively looking into ways to improve the gameplay, and give players more ways to enjoy the game. We are open for suggestions and would gladly hear all of your wacky ideas :)
