A pretty simple high score chaser. Fun enough I suppose.
Very, very simple game where you basically just turn left and right forever. Once you hit boost it’s pretty hard to lose it and there are very few obstacles to get in your way. I ran facefirst into mines and it didn’t even break my combo. I felt I had seen everything after 10,000m but I kept going until 20,000m to see if anything would change but it did not.
I played this before Downwell and honestly this is a cool challenge in its own right that then got me to go play Downwell too. Thank you Upsquid
Upsquid is a very simple high score chaser with some simple, pretty graphics and a unique control scheme. It might just be the mood I was in, but I found it incredibly frustrating to play. The controls are just SO difficult. I feel like the game went over the line with challenging controls, and it's just frustrating trying to force your character to go where you want them to go. I ended up playing it for only around 5 minutes.
Still, the game is very pretty, and I could see someone enjoying it if they don't get as annoyed as I did by missing the powerup 5 times in a row. Despite my dislike for it, I think it's probably worth checking out, considering how bite-sized it is, and since it is a very polished little game.
