DESCRIPTION You are taps away from owning a super fun and addictive adventure game. Upperland is an epic platform game full of incredible characters, fantastic landscapes to explore, and stacks of surprises! Help two tiny creatures who are pulled into a city with skyscrapers, clocks, dangerous factories and terrifying amusement parks avoid all the obstacles and reunite with the family. Customize your creatures by buying super cool and cute headbands, wings, glasses, etc to match your style. Take photos of your stylish creatures and share the fun with friends instantly. Keep your eyes peeled: there are many surprises waiting for you! STORY Two kids of “tiny creatures” have been kidnapped by an evil spider and are being taken farther and farther away! Join the family on an amazing adventure across multiple settings and dozens of challenging stages. Reunite the lost family and discover new worlds to explore by following an evil spider! FEATURES - Eye-popping graphics! - Epic platform action! - Simple tap control designed to work perfectly with your touch screen! - Lots of stages over multiple worlds! - Hundreds of obstacles! - Bonus levels! - Hilarious & funky items for characters! - Mesmerizing music - Regular free updates! A BIT MORE… Upperland is a perfect choice for those who love games that have stories behind them; it is not often that such a simple game actually makes you feel compassionate towards the game characters. Upperland has something to offer to everyone; whatever your theme is you can definitely find something relevant in this game: endless tricky traps, various mechanical obstacles and diverse locations full of crazy puzzles through all levels of this addictive adventure game. As you advance through the stages, the levels get tougher and the obstacles harder to avoid; they even start moving, rotating and disappearing. Reunite the tiny creatures’ family! Just remember that every object can harm your little creatures. Starting from the deep deep sewerage with dirty pipes and vents, you will move on to crawling skyscrapers and clock tower and later rush through the horror show of the amusement park; Once you survive the appearing ghosts and scary butchers, you will be excited to enter the elevator full of wires sticking out of broken boxes; then fly through the scientific lab with robot-hands that release fire, syringes and explosive chemical poisonous particles that are scattered all around. There also are different factories, but don’t get too excited, remember, you have to dodge all the saws, wood and metal pieces, and many more objects. Next on, you have to fly through dazzling forests, where while everything is charming to the eye, you’d rather not touch anything. And finally, what’s the better way to end the unforgettable adventure than to explore the rocket, the absence of gravity can puzzle you even more as random object and laser beams appear everywhere! Why It’s Great When playing Upperland getting bored is not an option with a constant change of obstacles and surroundings. It is simple and challenging, fast paced and fulfilling, addictive, but easy to pause… The gameplay is completely unpredictable with more and more additions appearing in every single level. Equally great for both, expert gamers and beginners, Upperland can be played for hours! WARNING: Due to heavy graphics requirements, The Upperland is only compatible with the iPhone 4S & upwards, and iPod Touch 5th Generation - it is NOT compatible with the older iPhone 4 or iPod 4th Generation.
