No Way Up Reviews

I found this game strangely addictive - I like the simplicity of the game along with the gradually increasing challenges of each level. I had to force myself to stop so I don't lose hours of my day to this! lol It would be cool if you could customise a little - like enter your own name (or any name) when asked for who you are, the colour of the man you play as etc. Would be fun!

Finally finished part one and am excited to play part two when it is released. I am enjoying the story, it seems like there is something ominous at the heart of all this and I was gripped by the cliffhanger. The dynamics work pretty well and I love the character's little dance on completing a level, it brings me joy! I like that the enemies so far have been more about out-witting them rather than having to button mash to attack, which has been refreshing. There is clearly a lot of care and attention that has gone into making this game. I would recommend adding it to your library and giving it a try. Few things I thought could be improved or suggestions for part two: - The main thing that I found odd was the level difficulty from one to the next. In some ways it is quite nice that after a harder level you get a little respite with an easier one, but it does feel like you aren't progressing through the game when you aren't getting to use more of the things you've learnt through earlier levels. So, I'm not saying don't have easier levels popped in (especially ones more about story as they are fun), but it would be good to have more of the tasks and difficulties in the levels as you progress so you feel the challenge and feel like you are getting better at the game as you go. I think that would be important for part two. - I'd like the menu screen to select the level you want to be easier to use, as I have to use my touchscreen to get it to swipe right and it is a bit clunky even doing that. A simple arrow to the next list would probably suffice. - I like the quiet and creepy sound effects etc but would be nice if the music could build a little more suspense, especially on racier levels. - For part two, I'd like to maybe see some more items that have other effects, rather than just gems to collect. Hopefully these comments will help to shape make the rest of the game a great experience for players. Finally, just wanted to say I'm not a huge PC game player and was worried I wouldn't be able to play it well, but I found this one easy to get in to without making it too easy or boring, so great job Jelliebox! Bring on part two!
