Meet Jackie, the ultimate teenage hero in Only Up online! This dude’s got spunk, style, and a dream bigger than a giant beanstalk. Armed with nothing but a rad skateboard, a backpack filled with snacks, and a smile that can light up the whole labyrinth of craziness, he embarks on an ambitious journey nowhere else than into the sky!
Just like in that tale!
Remember the old fairy tale about Jack and the Beanstalk? Well, this game will surely remind you of it. And it’s also no coincidence the heroes have the same names. However, they are very different. Jackie’s not your average fairy tale hero. Nah, he’s got a modern twist, with cool sneakers and a playlist that’ll make you wanna dance on those floating pipes. He’s all about taking life head-on and climbing his way to success!
And you’re about to help him with that. And not by some run-of-the-mill advice like those boring adults give you. “Get a grip, pull yourself together, straighten out your life…” Who even needs all this dull stuff? There is no reason to stay down, on earth, when you can reach new heights – literally! And that’s precisely what Jackie intends to do. Will you lead the charge?
Brace yourself for a gripping sky voyage!
So what exactly do you have to do in this amazing platformer? The first crazy thing that comes to your mind – reach the very sky! For that, you’ll have to keep ascending higher and higher, going as far up as you can. Only Up has everything to make you dizzy, starting with floating pipes that’ll make you feel like you’re in a super cool plumbing party.
But it doesn’t stop there – we’ve got railroads suspended in the air like they’re hanging out in the sky! You’ll be leaping from one rail to another as if you were on a trampoline – it’s like a train conductor’s wildest dream! And let’s not forget the flying trains! They’re zooming through the air like jet planes with wings. You’ll be dodging and weaving through these airborne locomotives, also occasionally hitching a ride. It’s all about reflexes and precision, dude!
The sky loves the persistent!
The higher you get the more unbelievable the world around you will look and the more challenging the obstacles will become. At first, you’ll find it quite easy to keep your balance and find a firm surface to put your feet on. But the more you progress the harder curveballs Only Up will be throwing at you. Prepare to make split-second decisions and act on the go and sometimes even on the fly as you need to dodge unexpected hurdles and maneuver between cunning traps.
But don’t worry, even if you keep failing at first, it’s all gonna get better with a little bit of practice. And even if you pass all the levels one by one, you’ll find it exciting enough to keep replaying. Why is that? The game itself is not too long, but it’s rather challenging because of one single catch. Can you guess what it is?
No saves, you’re all in!
And note that there are no checkpoints or saves! It’s like a throwback to the good old days when gamers were true heroes. If you fall (and make no mistake, you will), it’s back to square one. But don’t panic – Jackie’s got the resilience of a champion. He’ll dust himself off, pump himself up, and take another shot at conquering this crazy platforming adventure!
With this brave kiddo by your side, you know you’ve got what it takes to reach for the sky and conquer this adrenaline-packed journey. And there is nothing like a trip of the sort to wake your inner child up and give you wings for the rest of the day. So put on your platforming boots and make your first step upwards. Jackie’s gonna rock it, and you’re in for the ride of a lifetime!
