Our take on Zup! XS
Its minimal construction-and-timing format keeps the focus on solving compact physical puzzles, but gives up broader progression systems, exploration, and gameplay variety found in larger games.
What is Zup! XS?
Build each level around a blue ball, a platform, and explosive physical interactions.
A level is passed when the ball remains on the platform for 3 seconds. The game contains 60 levels and presents a minimal puzzle structure focused on constructing solutions rather than exploring a larger world. Steam features include achievements, trading cards, and emoticons. The game was made with Clickteam Fusion 2. 5, with credits for the music and other contributions.
