Going Up pits you against elevator users in a race to the top
Elevator pun
- Going up is a puzzler about moving through elevators
- Make sure your patrons don't get bored and get them from place to place in time
- Explore a mysterious tower that goes constantly up
It may seem a bit passe for me to mention how many puzzle games nowadays seem to take very mundane concepts and run with them. But if it was true of Bad Credit? No Problem! and the roleplaying of a loan agent, then it's definitely true of Going Up, which truly elevates the puzzle genre. Ahem.
And that's because, well, it's a puzzler about elevators. Shocking, I know. But it's a little more complex than it sounds as you need to manage the moods of your passengers as well as increasingly elaborate elevator systems in order to make everything work smoothly.
But it's not just that, as you'll also discover new, stranger environments as you ascend the mysterious tower. And with rounds all lasting only a few minutes, with one-handed gameplay, you can play wherever and whenever you want. So if you want to test your elevator management skills you can find Going Up right now on the iOS App Store!
I'm a sucker for puzzle games with unique conceits, and managing elevators is probably one of the more unusual I've seen. I haven't had the chance to go hands-on with Going Up, but for those of you who like being able to compete against others the fact that the game comes complete with leaderboards should let you show off your mastery no matter what.
