About Go Up
Go Up is a strategy browser game built around go Up, the exciting free mobile game that challenges you to protect the balloon as it rises higher and higher into the sky. Get ready to put your skills to the ultimate test with this amazing balloon game that'll keep you on your toes and your eyes glued to the screen. You have a tiny balloon you need to protect. You need to push away all the pointy and heavy things that get in the way of your balloon going up.
How to Play
You have a “shield” or barrier (often a circular protective plane) that you can move around the balloon to push objects aside. You swipe or drag on the screen to reposition your shield around the balloon. (While the store page doesn’t explicitly describe the swipe controls, that’s the common mechanic for this kind of game.) You must time your moves carefully pushing obstacles too late or too aggressively can send them flying in directions that block the balloon again. The higher you get (the further in the level), the more frequent and more complex obstacles appear.
