About

Upward Pixel

Features
Read full description

A black corridor. Two walls. And up. Upward Pixel is a climbing game with one rule: tap to switch walls. Obstacles pour down, the speed keeps rising, and a single wrong tap ends the run. Five seconds to learn, hard to put down. ONE FINGER There is one control: the tap. How high you get is down to your reflexes and nothing else. EVERY RUN IS DIFFERENT - 3 goals every run that pay coins - Sections that change the game every 30 seconds: Storm, Slide Zone, Breather, Gold Rush - Skill orbs give you an extra power for this run - Close-call streaks pay bonus coins 20 CHARACTERS Each one plays differently. The Moth raises a shield by itself, the Wraith pulls coins in and doubles them, the Golem fires rockets, the Celestial Warrior slashes every block on screen. New: the Fire Phoenix, Baby Dragon, Mecha Robot, Astronaut and Ninja Cat, plus the Ice Penguin, Mushroom Fairy, Pirate Parrot, Bumblebee and Lava Slime, each with its own attack and free powers. FOUR SKILLS Rocket, shield, time slow and ink blast. Take each one to level five. FIVE MAPS, YOUR COLORS Classic, Night, Storm, Darkness and Speed Tunnel, each with its own leaderboard. Pick the colors of the corridor, the blocks and your character. AGAINST EVERYONE ELSE A daily challenge with the same course for all, duels against friends and a monthly league with 15 tiers. One world leaderboard, plus Game Center. Your progress is backed up to iCloud. Playable in seven languages. Contains ads; a one-time purchase removes the ads between runs.
