💖 WHICHWAYISUP(6) 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Games manual, and it's about a little game called Which Way is Up. no cap, it's iconic. sit down, grab a snack 🍓, and let me tell you everything.

✨ NAME ✨

whichwayisup — a 2D platform game with a slight rotational twist 🌀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

whichwayisup

that's it. that's the whole vibe. just run it, bestie. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so Which Way Is Up is a traditional and challenging 2D platform game — but with a slight rotational twist, which is literally the whole point, iykyk. 🌀

your mission? help a mysterious big-eared salaryman named Guy find his keys 🔑 in a labyrinth of dangers and bad dialogue. yes, bad dialogue. they said it, not me. 🙈

🎀 USAGE 🎀

the game will hit you with some instructions on how to play right at the beginning, so don't stress, you'll be fine. 🫶

here's the full controls reference, no gatekeeping:

⌨️ KEYBOARD ⌨️

  • Left/Right — Move 🏃
  • Z or Up — Advance game dialogue 💬
    • also: Jump — the longer you hold down the button, the higher the character jumps 🦘
  • Down — Interact with the environment, pick up objects 🙌
  • P — Pause game ⏸️

🎮 JOYSTICK OR GAMEPAD 🎮

  • Left/Right — Move 🏃
  • Button 1 — Advance game dialogue 💬
    • also: Jump — the longer you hold down the button, the higher the character jumps 🦘
  • Button 2 — Interact with the environment, pick up objects 🙌
  • ESC — Main menu / Quit 🚪

oh, and one more thing — literally one more thing, I'm not lying — if the game isn't challenging enough for you as it is, try maximizing your score by getting through it without losing any health at all. this could be damn hard at some points, fr fr 😭, but it's always possible! you got this, bestie. 👑

and improving your speed records should also give you some additional challenge, if you're built different like that. ⏱️🔥
