[@onefingersins3182]

Haven't even played this game yet and I already feel anger from watching people fall

[@thatonebonkchoyguy]

You'll be even madder when you find out that the game is littered with NFTs

[@GravitasZero]

This game is only good as content to watch streamers play. It's like bad movies. You don't watch them yourself, alone, to enjoy them, you watch it with others to mock it and have fun with others.

[@pipipipipipipipip]

So true

[@BlueShellshock]

Only up Speedrunning in a nutshell: every week, the devs will add a new shortcut bed so that a new world record can be set and keep the game relevant.

[@Baby_999]

That game is basically every rage game where you go up combined on steroids

[@alexpineda5960]

And with terrible physics because how dare you be happy.

[@wealthybone2990]

Didnt expect to see Circle Toons make an vid of this game but I can say this was very accurate to how it's like playing this game and I'm surprised how popular this game got with streamers and even speed runners too but the song that played at the end is called Twilight Time by Francis Goya fyi if anyone wanted to know.

[@matt911112]

What game is this? I don’t keep up with games as much as I use too.

[@lazerlion565]

When Icarus began to fall all he thought was “I fucking hate that pizza”.

[@Volti-Vagra]

fly too close to the brick oven and your mozzarella wings might just *melt* edit: idk why "icarus" and "pizza" birthed that thought but im not gonna be the only one with it in mind

[@hollygirlie]

it's like getting over it, if it was 3D, and worse

[@Jan12700]

Not to forget the DMCA because the Devs stole most, if not all, Assets from other people without paying them or giving credit...

[@serv-on]

Nah they clearly hand made all the assets

[@Nuzilicious]

Also don't forget that this entire game is just a NFT ad... I'm serious

*Jedi Survivor has entered the chat*

[@MintyyKing]

You forgot the huge underlying nft scam and promotions

[@emanuelacola726]

I love how Albino made the big brain play and saw the trap just due to being a shortcut between two other more difficult paths

[@aleksanderzaremba9695]

I love the music in this game. Ultimate slap to the face

[@AgentOracle]

Every streamer i've seen makes it to that really easy rainbow jump just for the game to rugpull on them. It's not like the other points where things fall, they wait until you touch them to plummet. Everywhere else drops just before you get to them

[@sulaymanmo]

That's why I think the rainbow jump is stupid. There's no indication that it's a trap, it's just a troll for the sake of being a troll. It punishes players for trying to progress the game. Compare this to the snake from GOI. Both traps will inevitably set you back to the beginning, but you are explicitly told not to ride the snake. If you fall for the snake trap, that is on you, the player, because you let curiosity overcome you. The rainbow jump, meanwhile, is simply a path that seems like the right way forward, except, oopsie! It isn't. It's a troll that sets you back so people can laugh at you for being stupid, even though there's no way you could know it's a trap if you didn't know about it beforehand. That's why I hate the rainbow jump. It feels meanspirited, a troll just for the sake of being a troll. You can clearly tell what the designer's intentions were with both traps, and it doesn't make a good showing for Only Up.

[@rngfactor]

i was like "man. his arm got really big and flat on the thumbnail" nope...nope that's him reaching towards the screen

[@Nuigi12]

I guess it's true. When you've hit rock bottom, there's nowhere to go but up

[@paulj505]

You forgot to add "mostly stolen", to "the stack of unoptimized, premade game assets"

[@yolomolo2736]

Enter the next dimension of *Getting over it*. A 3rd dimension, weird A.I. voices, NFT’S, Ads, less interesting, biblical allusions, waifus, A talking Elephant that hates you, A tragic backstory, A weird message at the end, Random objects to hop on, and of course what everyone love, the classic JABAIT

[@thetonykhang]

That falling animation at the end! 😂

[@monkeSp]

The song that plays at the end (the only up main theme) is actually based off of a restaurant’s song in Cincinnati, Ohio. This restaurant is called skyline and if you search up the skyline song you will eventually find it.

[@TheKaijuKing54]

What makes the game even worse is that it’s literally promoting NFTs.

[@Ausieck]

its WHAT?

I keep hearing that but where??

[@Blackheartzero]

I wonder how many people heard that song in this game and went, _"are these bastards really playing me off with the frigging Skyline Chili song as I fall to my death?"_

[@ReeseHosgood]

This game is very similar to Getting Over It, the popular parkour rage game, except this game is 3D. People have recreated this in UEFN in Fortnite and it had more current active players then the ranked zero build duos mode by Epic shortly after the UEFN map came out.

[@jedharrington6234]

Yeah been playing the fortnut version with friends lol its a good* time

Man, I love the part in Only Up where you go up. (I have never heard of Only Up.)
