Up There review





Up There by Veiled Games

Current Price: $1.99

Reviewed at v1.2.1

Up There is one of those simple games that seem to stick to you, no matter how approachable the gameplay.

It's probably due to the attention to detail that's been put into this game. The hand-drawn graphics are beautiful and add to the aesthetic quality of the game; the music is fantastic, featuring original songs "Joy of Sky" and "Artic Moon." The levels transition seamlessly and the pacing of the game is smooth.

The objective is to keep the ballon from disappearing from the screen, or getting stuck underneath somewhere. Dodge bookshelves, branches, clouds and more as you continue on in the game. The gameplay is very straightforward, allowing gamers of all generations to experience Up There.

There are several options available to gamers as well. You can change difficulty from easy to hard (no in between), personalize your balloon pattern (I stick to red), try reverse controls, and choose songs. You're able to view personal and global scores as well.

With any straightforward game, Up There is repetative. When I first purchased it, my competative edge to get a top score was much higher than today, after having owned the app for months.

This game currently costs $1.99, but there is a lite version out now too. The game is worth the price; if you appreciate all the aspects of the game, you'll see its worth.
