Co-op Physics Building Game What Goes Up Announced

Summary

According to Gematsu, the physics-based construction game What Goes Up has been announced. In this title, which emphasizes cooperation and physics simulation, players work for the 'Galactic Scrap Company' and travel to dangerous planets to recover space debris from Earth. The goal is to send scattered trash to a recovery ship, and the means are wildly imaginative: players can stack junk into tall towers, build multiple smaller towers, or even lay structures horizontally as bridges across chasms. Objects like hot dog carts, solar panels, and rusty bathtubs are all usable, each with unique shapes, weights, and physical properties. Players must stack, balance, and jury-rig these items, using tools like the gravity gun, hoverpack, and bounce pad to climb, float, and bounce across varied terrain while solving physics-based puzzles. The game cleverly combines the fun of physics construction with a space-themed environmental message, delivered in a humorous tone. In coop mode, friends can plan builds together and tackle increasingly complex challenges through teamwork. The realistic physics engine makes every construction attempt unpredictable—one small mistake can send the whole tower crashing down, creating endless comedic moments. For fans of physics sandbox games like Human: Fall Flat, this title holds strong appeal. It tests spatial thinking and creativity while offering a fresh…
