An average flash game. It's better to play without sound due to the loud sound effects.
Terrible. The camera movement made me feel sick within 2 minutes. It's directionless and feels unfinished.
good game
10/10 game I love the game because lup sounds like sup
Lup is yet another game in a line of shovelware released by publisher Back to Basics Gaming in an attempt to rake in quick money using steam trading cards. While I cannot say for certain whether it is a Unity asset flip (where a developer purchases cheap models and textures off the Unity Asset Store and attempts to "flip" it into a shovelware title for a profit), the possibility certainly exists given how the player character is an undetailed 2D sprite and most of the world is low-polycount 3D models that look like they came from several different artists. This game is a bog-standard shovelware platformer in which you control a poorly-drawn sprite with a gun that fires lag-inducing particle effects, whose ultimate goal is to run through a handful of forgettable stages, avoiding lag-incuding particle effects shot from various enemies (most of which look like turrets taken from a stock Unity asset pack). Getting hit simply reduces your health by a wildly varying amount - most enemies do little damage, but some will kill you in one or two hits seemingly at random - and causes knockback in a random direction. There are also pits and "lava", which range in lethality from "tiny amount of damage and a ton of upwards knockback" to "your sprite has gotten stuck, please wait 50 seconds to die". There are a whole bunch of game mechanics that simply don't matter, from picking up ammo boxes to upgrade your weapon (which seemingly does the same amount of damage regardless of upgrade level) to picking up coins and green orbs that as far as I can tell do absolutely nothing but increase your score. I should also mention that the game's in-game menus do not work properly. There is no way (at least, that I know of) to return to the title screen from inside the game, nor is there a properly working "exit" button on the title screen - there is an exit button, but it doesn't actually do anything when clicked. Lup can be finished in as little as 20 to 25 minutes in a casual playthrough. I have 8+ hours in it mostly because I have made poor life choices and chose to speedrun it as a way of increasing the visibility of shovelware on Steam. Overall, this game is garbage and I would recommend that no one purchase anything from Back to Basics Gaming - even for the trading cards.
It was ok...
This game has good music. And that's about all it has going for it. The gameplay is aimless, the controls are unintuitive and slippery, there are severe slowdown issues, and the art is an incongruous mish-mash of placeholder programmer art, literal stock photos, and 3D assets that look like they'd be at home in Dota 2 or World of Warcraft. We wrote a full review of the game in its current state on Cordilon Gaming: http://cordilongaming.net/greenlight-review-lup/ [http://cordilongaming.net/greenlight-review-lup/]
This game sucks. I got it in a bundle so it cost me less even than 99 cents but I can play better flash games online for free. Don't even bother. Its just pathetic.
Ok, I've always been somebody who actually likes Steam greenlight. It gives people the chance to have their efforts seen, and get themselves out there a bit. You never know when a nice little gem will be found. But this is an example of Greenlight gone wrong... It's a simple little platformer, decent enough on the surface, but my god is it infuriating to play. The background is confusing, often making you unsure of what can and can't be stood on, and what will and won't hurt you. The same with objects. Pick up the green swirly things, but don't touch the identical looking pink/white swirly things, because they hurt. Those dangerous looking explosions on the floor? They're perfectly safe bounce pad things! Enemies: They're pretty much all stationary turrets. Some can be destroyed when shot, some can't. No real indication of whether or not one can be until you try. Water will either hurt you, instantly kill you, or allow you to swim in it. The only way to find out which it will be is to jump in! Even the final screen of the game is terrible. It says the end, and tries to thank you for playing, but half of the text goes off the screen! Are you serious?? The biggest redeeming feature (if you can call it redeeming) is that there seems to be no lives system, and checkpoints are everywhere, so you never lose much/any progress. So you can push your way through if you have the patience for the horrible level design, and inconsistent mechanics, but there's little reason to...
LUP!!
Controls absolutely horribly. This kind of quality would be passable in a game jam, but not on Steam. Definitely one of the worst games I've played to date on Steam.
Had to press ALT+F4 to quit and I was glad when I did that.
Made with Unity Personal Edition
Surprisingly bad. I ran it for cards, played it a little just for curiousity. My curiousity ran out in under 2 minutes. Eventually the game crashed after the 2nd card dropped so I left the crash window open until I got the last card. Developer: you want me to send you the crash files?
Go to Store (Featured), Click on Games, Narrow by Feature (Steam Trading Cards), Relevance (Lowest Price). Then skip to Page 9 or 10, until you find the .50 - $1.00 games. Add them to your Wishlist, games that are a dollar can go on sale and you may be able to purchase for cheap! A game at .50 may give you that value back in trading cards. Search and Install "Idle Master" which will run your games even without the game being installed. I may or may not ever play this game, but some games I have installed and messed around with on a rainy day! @ .50-$1.00 it's hard not to recommend!
I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing. Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side. With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could play WITH ONE HAND while recovering. Somehow, I stumbled upon this game and read some of the comments. I decided it was worth a try... I must admit I didn't beat the game, nor did I play as much as some of you. In fact, I may have played this game for only a day or two. That being said, after doing so, I had a new joy and hope for life. I managed to leave behind the pain and suffering that had been thrust upon me. I could experience the joy and happiness of other people. I relaxed for 5 ♥♥♥♥ minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay. After realizing this, I turned off the game and went back to work. My hand hurt a lot, but I was motivated. I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and became the father I needed to be at that moment, not the weak boy I was behaving like. Today, I am close friends with the mother of my children. We don't fight, argue, or say hurtful things to each other. We are parents and friends. Now I have 3 children. My third child is, wait, ALSO 4 YEARS OLD. The woman I am with was going through a very similar situation at the time of my separation, and we just unexpectedly stumbled into each other's lives. We have been dating for a year and are very happy together. Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today. This silly little game helped me realize that. Thank you.
This was... an experience
This games seems like it could be good if the controls werent so terrible, why would you have ',' as run 'D' as shoot and arrow keys left and right to move and obviously space to jump , your fingers are all over the keyboard, if this game had better controls it would probably be enjoyable, overall dont get this game unless they do makes changes to the controls or make the controls changeable for your own liking.
Don't buy games from this publisher! This game was part of a Fanatical bundle I bought. I didn't activated this code (it's another one in my account). Now I wanted to give the unused codes to another person and this game, as same with every other game from this publisher, were revoked! Sell codes, let people pay them and revoke the keys is not only a shxx move, it's betrayal. They sell stuff with giving no return! There's no excuse for this behavior expecially bc they still sell the trouble making games here! Illegal, outrageous, shady! I could say nothing about this game. It looks so bad as it was made within 30min and it's just to get quick earned money without any worth mentioning input. I will never waste my precious time for that (and I have no clue why past me claimed this one.... ok, I know it bc I activated everything just bc to have a game more. Now I wish there would be the possibility to delete pay titles from my bib. I'm ashamed to have such a game in it). Same for their other games, just with the difference that the paid games could not be tested bc their illegal move as additional reason. (And following that: I advice to not to try to trade theirgames, including this one, with people you don't know. It will just cause a lot of useless trouble. Other people has the same problem and Fanatical agreed that all their exchange codes has been revoked too. So this is a problem in general. And not to gorget to say: Fanatical never warned their users. They claim never knowing about that troubles. As I confronted them with the fact that they know it now and if they do something against that (warning their users, confront the publisher,...) they just ignore that. Was a cramp to get some money back bc they see no responsibility on their part. So, even if it's absolutely no intention to fool you, a lot of users will not know that they offer a revoked game btw. you don't know that you offer a revoked game)
Unstable physic theory
