About the Game

Begin your epic adventure as you "Journey Up" towards the sky

Begin your journey deep in a mine with no memories in your databanks or directives in your programming. The only thing you see is a glimmer of light far above you beneath a collapsed mine shaft.

Each jump and hand hold takes you closer to your goal. Explore different biomes and face different challenges as you journey up.

Explore diverse biomes

Each biome presents new sights and challenges on your way to the top.

Singleplayer or online multiplayer

Whether playing offline on your own or online with upto 4 players you can be sure to have good latency with our cloud based servers.

Realistic body physics

We model the whole body with our physics system so you can swing with your arms or slide things with your feet and push buttons by physically slapping them.

2 Game modes
