Flash In The Brain Pan: Goin Up

Friday, June 10, 2011

Was it Dante who said that Hell was the absence of God? Well, maybe that didn’t enter the mind of Goin’ Up‘s designer, but it certainly seems like a fair comparison.

In Goin’ Up, you’re that unhappy demon, and you want to go up. On the way up, you’ll find mushroom angels, happy bombs, and a few additional characters who might be familiar.

The higher you get, the better you score. And don’t forget to smash a few people along the way! Their skulls serve as currency at the upgrade store, and upgrades make it easier to go even higher. Once you’re out of the pit, the sky’s the limit!

Goin’ Up might not really be a deep metaphor for redemption, but it sure is a fun game. Hurry over and help this demon try to get to Heaven before they close the door.

Woot! – One Day, One Deal
