Features

  • Keep it up.

    Rotate your device to keep the arrow up. It sounds easy, but getting the next high score may not be as easy as you think.

  • Watch your health vial.

    The game is over when you run out of health. When your shape is upright, you gain health, as soon as it’s not though, you lose it.

  • Watch out for asteroids.

    To make it even trickier, there are two types of asteroids that come into play. One will deplete a third of your life, the other will spin your arrow quickly if it hits. Luckily you can tap these to remove them before they hit your shape. But beware, they come faster and faster as the game goes on.

  • Beautiful retina graphics.

    Capable of displaying on Apple’s newest iPhone 4 and 4th generation iPod Touches, Up‽ has been designed from scratch with these high resolution devices in mind. See every bit of detail in the paper as you play.

  • Play with different shapes.

    Up‽ offers five different shapes to play with and each has its own bit of trickery. Keep playing to unlock all of them. The arrow is given for free, but the circle, bar, triangle, and diamond have to be earned with high scores from the other shapes.

  • Play through our tutorial.

    To learn how to play or to teach a friend, run through our quick interactive tutorial. It only takes a few seconds.

  • Game Center enabled.

    Play against your friends and see who can get the high score with both a local high score list and a global one using Apple’s Game Center.

  • Achievements galore.

    Earn 13 achievements such as “Touching Frenzy”, “Sharpshooter”, “Heavy Hitter”, “It’s over 9000″, and “Self Help”.

Reviews

“Great Game! It’s so addicting! Very challenging, it keeps me busy for hours!”
-Princesssnubblecup

“Just got this app and is really addictive. You have to move the phone to keep the arrow ‘up’ and tap the incoming bad things. Sounded easy, but you’ll wish you had three hands. Super fun and witty.”
-Grumpamatron

“I’m pretty sure everyone in the airport thought I was crazy spinning my phone around and over, but I couldn’t stop!”
-José Paulö

Interrobang

Did you know: We’re the first app in Apple’s App Store that has an interrobang in the title?

So, what is an interrobang, anyway? According to the world’s foremost authority on accurate information (ahem, Wikipedia), “the interrobang, ‽ (often represented by ?! / !?), is a nonstandard punctuation mark used in various written languages and intended to combine the functions of the question mark and the exclamation point (known in printers’ jargon as the “bang”). The glyph is a superimposition of these two marks. The Unicode code point is U+203D.”

Other Games

Check out some of IDC Projects’ other games!

Everybody’s favorite drinking game!  Play with the virtual deck of cards and keep track of how many drinks each player has.  For those who don’t know how to play, each card has instructions.  Or play free-style and create your own rules. Also known as Circle of Death, King’s Cup, Ring of Fire, Kings, Rhombus of Nosferatu, Shanty of McGinty, Sociables, or The King’s Game; regardless of what you call it, the iOS version brings the common social game to players everywhere.

The classic card matching game. Test your memory! Simply flip the cards to reveal a matching pair. Race against the clock in single player mode or challenge your friends in the multi player mode. Featuring sharp and clean graphics, developed for the 4th generation iPhone and iPod Touch Retina display (and now iPad). Try multiple board sizes, 4×4 and 6×6 on iPhone and iPod Touch, plus 4×5 and 5×6 boards for the iPad. Beat your own best time and compete against your friends. Play with the default deck, simple black and white shapes, dots, matching numbers to dots, or the ever impossible colors. (Colors is a lot harder than it sounds, trust us.)

Play three versions of the classic peg jumping puzzle game. Beautiful graphics and three board shapes: triangle, plus, and octagon. For an added challenge, try the custom game types with random missing peg spots (oh yes, it’s hard). The plus shaped board is the traditional game of peg solitaire. Choose your board type and select a peg to remove to begin the timer. Race against yourself to see how fast you can beat each game board. Peg board is OpenFeint and Game Center enabled so you can share your shockingly low times with all your friends and compete against the rest of the world to become the Peg Board Master. Visually stunning with beautiful Retina Display capable graphics.
