Going up

About Going up

Going Up is a tap-to-fly arcade game with a pixel-art style, in the same family as endless flying challenges like Flappy Bird. You control a small bird that continuously moves upward through a vertical obstacle course, tapping or clicking to make it flap and rise while gravity pulls it back down between taps. The core loop is simple: dodge gaps and obstacles, collect coins along the way, and spend those coins to unlock new bird skins, then try to beat your previous score.

How to play Going up

1. Tap or click anywhere on the screen to make the bird flap and rise.
2. Release, or stop tapping, to let gravity pull the bird back down.
3. Time your taps to fit through gaps between obstacles without colliding.
4. Fly through or near coins as you ascend to collect them.
5. Keep climbing as long as you can; hitting an obstacle ends the run.
6. Spend the coins you've collected to unlock new bird skins between runs.

Controls

• Desktop: Mouse: click and hold, or click repeatedly, to make the bird flap upward; release to let it descend.
• Mobile / tablet: Touch: tap and hold the screen to flap upward; lift your finger to descend.

Going up tips & strategy

• Use short, rhythmic taps rather than holding continuously, since over-tapping sends the bird into the obstacle above.
• Watch the upcoming gap rather than the bird itself so you can react to obstacle placement earlier.
• Prioritize getting through gaps over grabbing every coin; a missed coin costs nothing but a collision ends the run.
• Play in short repeated attempts; timing games like this improve faster from many short runs than one long session.
• Unlock skins gradually with coins you collect naturally rather than restarting runs purely to farm coins.

What makes Going up fun

The pixel-art bird and retro arcade presentation give Going Up a nostalgic, easy-to-learn-hard-to-master feel, while the coin-and-skin unlock system adds a light collection goal on top of the pure high-score chase.
