A single ball. An infinite sky. Launch upward into the unknown — bouncing from platform to platform, climbing ever higher through the cosmos. As you ascend, the journey grows treacherous. Platforms drift, narrow, tilt, and pulse. Gravity is unforgiving. Every launch is a leap of faith. Three difficulty orbits. Global leaderboards via Game Center. How far into the universe can you reach? This is a free game, enjoy!

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Up at none against Inner Circle's 2. Up also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months). Inner Circle's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 26.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
