Our take on Button Button Up!
Instead of relying only on jumps and enemy encounters, this platformer makes buttons part of movement and defense: players can pause in midair, reposition buttons, and block lasers by matching colors. It also shifts between solo play, cooperative stages, and local battles.
What is Button Button Up!?
Button Button Up!
is a platforming party game with single-player challenges, two-player cooperation, and local battles for up to four players. Players cross laser obstacles using limited resources and skills: sew buttons in midair to pause, kick buttons to dodge or change their position, and block lasers matching their character’s color. The game includes four color-based levels, four maps, hidden levels, and gift collectibles that can be exchanged for clothing in a store. Cooperative stages include boss encounters, while battle mode lets players use missiles, mines, and traps against friends. Single-player mode controls two characters, using a keyboard or a controller. The game supports one or four controllers, as well as multiple keyboards.
