About the Game

Heave-Ho: Uphill Has Never Been This Infuriating (and Hilarious)!

Gather your squad, grab the ride, and start pushing! Your goal is simple: reach the peak. But beware—unforgiving physics, brutal obstacles, and one tiny mistake from a teammate can send hours of hard work crashing down to the bottom.

Teamwork or Utter Chaos

This isn't just a casual stroll; it's the ultimate test of patience and communication. As you navigate narrow cliffs, wobbly platforms, and absurd traps, there’s only one rule: Move together or fall together! If one of you jumps at the wrong time or pushes the vehicle in the wrong direction, you’re all going back to square one. Get ready to put your friendships to the test.

Key Features:

  • Physics-Based Agony: Every bump, ramp, and platform reacts entirely to physics. Pushing the vehicle is easy; keeping it under control is practically impossible!

  • 1-4 Player Online Co-Op: Try to summit solo and become a legend, or bring up to 3 friends to multiply the chaos by four.

  • Fall Freely, No Giving Up: There are no checkpoints here. When you fall, you have to get back up and keep pushing. It's just you, your crew, and the peak.

  • Addictive Difficulty: That familiar, punishing platformer experience that will have you screaming "just one more try" until the sun comes up. The ultimate mix of rage and satisfaction.

What awaits you at the top? There's only one way to find out. Start pushing!
