What Goes Up

Build Towers of Trash in What Goes Up

What Goes Up invites players to take on the unusual role of a junk hauler at GALACTIC REFUSE CO., where the challenges of puzzle-based construction combine with a humorous premise. Land on hazardous planets scattered with the remnants of Earth’s finest discarded items and begin the task of transforming junk into functional structures. It's not just a job; it's a chaotic adventure filled with physics-defying creations.

Embrace the Chaos of Garbage Stacking

In this game, you'll encounter a wild variety of junk, from bathtubs to hot dog carts, each with its own questionable structural integrity. Your mission is to stack, balance, and jury-rig these items into towers or bridges that stand the test of physics—however flimsy that may be. As you tackle each mission, you’ll experiment with different designs, from towering monuments to makeshift bridges, to recover the trash and ensure a successful mission.

Navigate Hazardous Terrain and Challenges

Each level presents not just a design challenge but also a series of hazards to overcome. You may find yourself dodging lava rivers, electric barriers, or even meteor showers as you work to transport junk back to your ship. These dangers require not only quick thinking but also an understanding of physics as you build structures that can withstand the chaos. The game's design encourages creativity while also demanding a strategic approach to construction.

Cooperative Gameplay for Collaborative Chaos

What Goes Up can be played solo or with friends, making cooperation crucial for overcoming the increasingly complex challenges. Collaborating with others means you can share ideas and strategies, planning out your next towering construction or remedying a build gone wrong. Expect plenty of laughs as you blame each other for collapsed structures or miscalculations with the infamous bounce pads.

Use Wacky Gadgets to Aid Your Junk Journey

As a worker at GALACTIC REFUSE CO., you have access to amusing and helpful equipment designed for the task at hand. Utilizing grav guns lets you move and position junk effortlessly, while hover packs assist in reaching otherwise inaccessible spots. Bounce pads create the potential for spectacular failures and hilarious moments, propelling everything from junk items to stackers into the air with reckless abandon.

Customize Your Junk Hauler's Style

The game's whimsical aesthetics extend to the outfits your character can don, discovered among the junk piles. These snazzy outfits not only offer a comedic touch but also serve to motivate your crew to perform well. Dressing in style while navigating through absurd challenges adds an extra layer of fun to your gameplay, enhancing the experience as you strive to work together in overcoming chaotic physics puzzles.

Print Your Failures and Keep Trying

Mistakes are part of the process in What Goes Up, and each failure leads to a new opportunity to learn and adapt. The game humorously embraces the concept of learning from trials, with the promise of reprints to bring you back into the action. As each misadventure unfolds, players find themselves stuck in a cycle of panic, creativity, and hilarity as they rebuild taller and bolder each time, making it a memorable and often uproarious experience.
