"The vibes here are impeccable" —Vice "Fast, simple, solid, and challenging" —PocketGamer Going Up is a strategy game where you control groups of lifts in a skyscraper to deliver passengers before they lose their patience. Optimise elevator movement as you deal with a fussy cast of passengers—impatient CEOs, mean soldiers and confused tourists. There is no one solution to elevator optimisation: every stage will have its unique bottlenecks, passengers and problems. Can you keep people moving, or will they have to take the stairs? • Deliver your passengers: manage elevators in a skyscraper to deliver passengers up and down to their destinations as efficiently as possible. • Adapt to complex situations: learn to manage increasingly complicated systems of lifts, from multiple lifts, to lifts that operate on different sets of floors, to lifts that completely skip floors. • Placate fussy characters: deal with a cast of seven unique characters, from impatient CEOs to mean soldiers to confused tourists. Learn their behaviours to score the greatest number of points from each of them. • Rack up high scores: compete on a global leaderboard to gain the most points in each level. • Ascend the mysterious skyscraper: discover different environments on each level, playing with different sets of lifts as you climb to the very top. • Play on the go: play one handed, while commuting, queuing in line, or waiting for the lift. Every round lasts at most a few minutes.
