## Going Up Description
&quot;The vibes here are impeccable&quot;
—Vice

&quot;Fast, simple, solid, and challenging&quot;
—PocketGamer

Going Up is a strategy game where you control groups of lifts in a skyscraper to deliver passengers before they lose their patience. Optimise elevator movement as you deal with a fussy cast of passengers—impatient CEOs, mean soldiers and confused tourists. There is no one solution to elevator optimisation: every stage will have its unique bottlenecks, passengers and problems.

Can you keep people moving, or will they have to take the stairs?

• Deliver your passengers: manage elevators in a skyscraper to deliver passengers up and down to their destinations as efficiently as possible.
• Adapt to complex situations: learn to manage increasingly complicated systems of lifts, from multiple lifts, to lifts that operate on different sets of floors, to lifts that completely skip floors.
• Placate fussy characters: deal with a cast of seven unique characters, from impatient CEOs to mean soldiers to confused tourists. Learn their behaviours to score the greatest number of points from each of them.
• Rack up high scores: compete on a global leaderboard to gain the most points in each level.
• Ascend the mysterious skyscraper: discover different environments on each level, playing with different sets of lifts as you climb to the very top.
• Play on the go: play one handed, while commuting, queuing in line, or waiting for the lift. Every round lasts at most a few minutes.

## Going Up Reviews in United States

### **--- "Too Frustrating"
I really wanted to like this game. All the core concepts are there, but as many have said, the janitor is antithetical to everything else the game wants me to do. And even knowing that I can try to delay him to get more points doesn&#039;t make it more interesting. It just makes the game feel like it has split brain syndrome.

It&#039;s very off-putting when the passengers sigh the moment they get to the elevator. It&#039;s like you&#039;re angry at me and you just arrived. How could you have possibly expected me to have an elevator there? In real life, most people are fine waiting a minute or two for an elevator. So I felt very bad with all these people getting frustrated at me immediately.

I also kept trying to queue up actions. So when I had almost picked someone up, I would start tapping the floor where I wanted to go, and then that person didn&#039;t even get in the elevator because the moment I tapped, the elevator moved off to the other floor. So I&#039;d prefer if I could queue up the actions. Although because there&#039;s a delay before you actually see the floor someone&#039;s going to, sometimes I did need to do a last second change rather than queuing.

The 3D perspective is also jarring, especially once I reach the second level with two elevators and half the people are coming around the corner. Although it&#039;s possible that&#039;s an intentional design decision to make it a little more unexpected when they suddenly appear, but it felt like a straight-on view would have been easier to parse visually.

### ***-- "Impossible level"
This game is well done and fun. Clearly I’m lame as when I got to the Arcadia level all fun stopped- I have tried to beat this level hundreds of times and each time the janitor comes and time ends- 

Great up to this level, now impossibly frustrating
-- Lenspimp, 2026-01-08

### ****- "This game is good"
It’s a good game overall, but it gets a little boring after a while. Hope you continue to make games because you have potential
-- bormethicus, 2025-12-01

### ***** "It’s a Good game"
It’s a good buy game. It trains your fast decision making and become a good observer. You really have to use both left and right eye for timing. Almost like when you have to draw something with left and right hand independently
-- brandon9666667, 2025-11-25

### ****- "Cute &amp; Quick"
Cute little game that takes an evening to beat. Good game to get sucked into!
-- madeline81118, 2025-11-25

### *---- "Point System Is Stupid"
Too many runs where achieving 40 points just isn’t possible. It’s very frustrating.
-- xv1kterx, 2025-11-12

### ****- "Only 10 levels？"
only 10 levels？
-- zhangggg123, 2025-09-07

### ***-- "Good game issue with gameplay"
Janitors come too quickly, I have to delay picking them up so that I can get more stars which feels counter intuitive
-- brillianraptor, 2025-02-19

### ***-- "Pencil compatibility"
I have only played the first level but wish it had Apple Pencil compatibility! I can tap the pause but not the elevator. Maybe it’s operator error but that would perfect this game for me
-- Kzilla8, 2024-11-25

### ***-- "I(almost) really like it, but"
The janitors are a big source of friction that feels really at odds with the rest of the gameplay. For the rest of the passengers, you’re working out an efficient flow and helping them navigate the tower, but when the janitors appear you’re playing a meta game where you’re trying to hold them off long enough to earn more points without letting them penalize you. 

Sometimes he shows so quickly you can barely get two stars before you start losing points. Then the run feels less like something you could have improved, and more like “oh, I guess the game just wanted to stop”

*That said* the premise and the rest of the game is groovy! I love managing the (non-janitor) characters and trying to balance lift car locations to move people as fast as possible.

If we can find a way to re-balance the janitors, or maybe have different game modes with other challenges, this game could truly be one of my favorites
