We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Families looking for short competitive party events rather than a long campaign
- Groups who want to play gravity-based challenges together locally
- Friends seeking online competition for up to four players through Steam Remote Play Together
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a long campaign with extensive progression may find the focus on 12 bite-sized events limited
- Players who prefer platforming with fixed routes may find gravity-driven movement across walls, ceilings, and planets less appealing
- Solo players seeking a primarily single-player game may find the competitive party format less suitable
Our take on Which Way Up: Galaxy Games
Rather than limiting platforming to floors and fixed jumps, the game makes gravity part of the movement and event structure. Players can move across walls and ceilings, orbit planets, or fall through levels, turning the usual platforming route into spatial competition.
What is Which Way Up: Galaxy Games?
Which Way Up: Galaxy Games is a family-friendly party game about competing in short challenges that use gravity fields for movement.
Players can run on walls and ceilings, orbit planets, and fall across levels. The 12 events include racing through gravity fields, scoring a goal with a moon, leaping between planets to escape a black hole, and capturing constellations. Up to four players can compete locally or online using Steam Remote Play Together. The game features seven celestial characters representing cosmic concepts such as biology, light, magnetic fields, and orbital paths. Its setting follows Space Sprites who compete and train in the Galaxy Games as they work toward becoming avatar incarnations of their respective cosmic concepts.
