Keep Up Review (Steam)

Keep Up features cool low poly graphics and a full 3D world that is well-designed and colorful. It offers a speed platformer gameplay with a mixture of platforming and speed running. The game world is vast with many routes to discover. It has a strong ‘just one more go’ pull, making it a fun little game to play.

There are two ways to play the game – ranked and casual. The two difficulties dictate if you have a set amount of lives (ranked) or an infinite amount (unranked). The game involves simple controls – just run, move, and jump. However, it takes a while to get used to it all, and it’s very easy to just fall off a platform by mere inches. Touching any obstacle results in an instant failure.

Keep Up has a download size of 1.11GB and supports Steam achievements. It also supports controller use, but the controller only works for movement, so any menus like respawning are done on a mouse. The game offers various graphics settings including window mode, resolution, graphics quality, and v-sync. It also features online leaderboards.

The game can be played with the mouse and keyboard, but the controls cannot be rebound and are only shown for the keyboard. There’s a quick restart button and a death counter and timer are displayed on the screen. However, there’s no tutorial to guide new players and no way to customize your character.

The game environment includes bushes that can be walked through but also hide hazards. This adds an extra layer of challenge to the gameplay whether it’s intentional or not.

Overall, the game is a unique and challenging platforming experience, despite some minor drawbacks it is a lot more engaging than some other titles in the genre. It starts slow but soon grows into an addiction.
