Wholesome Games & NEW Demo Update [v0.7.4]

Hello Galaxy Gamers! Oh wow, we've got a big one for you this time! First of all, before we get into the nitty-gritty, we're going to be doing a Kickstarter really soon! We'll provide another update around that, but it'd mean the world to us if you were to click the waitlist button and support us when it's live. You can do that by clicking here. But more about the game itself, we're going to be featured in the upcoming Wholesome Games Steam Celebration! And secondly, we're updating the demo!

Wholesome Games Steam Celebration


We've loved everything Wholesome Games has done and being able to take part with our own little game is such an honour! Which Way Up: Galaxy Games will be situated alongside plenty of amazing cozy games going around at the moment, and we're so thrilled! The event will kick off on August 15 at 1pm ET and will run for a week until August 21. We hope you have a wonderful time playing some cozy demos, nabbing some great discounts and playing our game! If you've played our demo before, be sure to take this opportunity to download the update and try to spot what has changed. Wholesome Games Steam Celebration
And we're not just taking part with nothing new to show...

NEW Demo Update (v0.7.4)


What's new


  • Introducing PIPS! Pips are a how the Celestial Sprites gather and store their unique power. They are going to be scattered through a number of Galaxy Games. They are now making appearances in Comet Collect, Gravapult and Constellation Catch (with their eyes closed). They have also snuck into the main menu and the Academy!
  • We introduced new spawning and death visual effects, so it is more obvious where players are spawning and when they die offscreen.
  • The bouncy planets have been turned into pink jelly and scattered thoroughly throughout the "Overload" Galaxy Game.
  • The visuals for ice planets have been improved. Making them look more like ice! You will also slide on ice faster when landing on an ice planet!
  • Boost Pads have been improved with better visuals and sound effects. They are also making more appearances across the galaxy! Like in Event Horizon, Star Ring and Overload.
  • Platforming has an updated "feel". The fall speed is slower, but the max. fall speed is higher! You will also break into a sprint much sooner when running perpendicular to gravity for long enough.
  • Bouncing off the ground has been improved, so you should be impossible to get stuck in an infite loop of bouncing between planets.
  • You will now daze or stun a player for a short time if you land on their head.
  • Orbit had a makeover and Sprout became a little more lime coloured!

Galaxy Games
  • [Overload] We fixed a few rare bugs that could cause the game state to be stuck in Overload. Nobody would have the bomb and the game wouldn't couldn't conclude.
  • [Overload] There is a lot of jelly around the outside of Overload maps. We want you to stay close to your competitors! But obviously, not too close.
  • [Event Horizon] We limited the distance the black hole can travel across the screen and we slow it down as it gets further to the right. This increased the theoretical maximum distance you can travel.
  • [Event Horizon] We fixed some player spawning bugs which were causing players to spawn inside the black hole once it was very far across the screen.
  • [Constellation Catch] The stars now morph into our PIP characters (without their eyes). We hope this will help with accessibility, so the silhouette can help players discern who owns a star without relying on colour.
  • [Comet Collect] We introduced a new feature we are very excited about; goal magnetism! If a ball flies towards and is close enough to a goal area, it will be magnetised to that goal! It is now much easier to collect comets. But be careful about collecting comets for other players!
  • [Gravapult] We fixed a number of bugs making it hard to throw bombs while you are standing on the ground. The bombs are also affected by gravity in a slightly different way now.
  • [Gravapult] Our new PIPs are the center of attention in Gravapult. Your PIPs are the guardians of the planets you are protecting. Be sure to treat them well and push the bombs off and away your planets.

Thank You For Your Support


We really appreciate everyone's support so far and we can't wait to kick things up a notch really soon! Until then, we hope you enjoy the updated demo and we cannot wait to see people go hands-on with it. If you do play the demo and want to post about it online on social media, please show us your fun times by tagging us @WhichWayUpGame. With love, The Turtle Flip team

June Update - Still Chipping Away

Hey Galaxy Gamers, June already, thats crazy! Even more crazy to think that were likely within 12 months of launch. Yep. Im fine. This months update is going to be short and sweet, letting you know that we are hard at work creating some new mini-games as well as planning out the highly requested single-player mode. But before we get into all that, be sure to follow us on Instagram for some more hilarious memes like this one!

Fore! (that's a golf term)


While weve teased it here and there, were finally ready to show you a sneaky little GIF of a new mini-game called Hole in One. The GIF below is a work-in-progress, but were excited to show you more as things come along.

Crochet Touch-and-Go!


Last month, we showed off a little of our crocheted pips. This time though, we had a little medical crochet-related emergency.
But its ok! While it was touch-and-go for a while there, were happy to say that Sprout managed to pull through

Conquering the Galaxy Solo


When we had streamers play our game, one of the biggest feedback was that players were wanting a single-player mode. Well, we listened and weve started working on a single-player mode. While its still early days, we wanted to share an early wireframe of what were thinking

Have You Played Our Demo Yet?


If youve been eager to give Which Way Up: Galaxy Games a go, you can actually do it right now! The demo is available now and it features SIX Galactic Games for you to play with family and friends. And if you post about it on social media, please be sure to tag us at @WhichWayUpGames. Wed love to see you have fun with our game; it truly makes all the hard work worthwhile! Were going to try to provide updates here once per month, but for more consistent updates, you can follow us on Instagram, TikTok and Twitter (all @WhichWayUpGame). And we have plenty more ideas for merchandise, but wed also like to know what youd want to see. So to have your say, come join our Discord. With love, The Turtle Flip team

May Update - An Entire Generation of Games

Hey Galaxy Gamers, Were back with a brand new update for May! We had a wonderful time at Generation Games in Sydney where, for the first time, players went hands-on with our brand new mini-game Nebula Nab. Weve also dabbled in making some physical merchandise, like fun shiny stickers and adorable crocheted characters. But before we get into all that, be sure to follow us on Instagram for some ripping memes like this one!

Nabbing the Nebulas at Generation Games


We teased it in the April Steam update, but last month at Generation Games, we let players go hands-on with Nebula Nab, our brand new mini game, for the very first time. And it was a hit! And so was our little panel talk we did
In Nebula Nab, each player must jump around and collect little grey sprites called Pips; doing so will turn them into little pip versions of your chosen Celestial. Once collected, it is up to that player to bring them back to the base in the middle to collect points. However, watch out for your opponents, as if they run into your pips before you can get them back to the middle, theyll become grey again. The mini game was praised for its sense of risk and reward. Collecting more pips in a single go can collect you more points, but it also leaves you more vulnerable to opponents.

Crochet Creativity


Weve been wanting to get creative with our characters for a long time, and while weve experimented with a few bips and bobs here and there, we ended up getting the crochet hook out.
We took these little crocheted pips with us to Generation Games and they were absolutely adored by players and attendees. The pips themselves even had a go of the game over on our TikTok when they got the chance.

An Overdue Progress Update- April 2024

Hey Galaxy Gamers, Thank you everyone for your patience! We know weve been quiet since the Steam Remote Play Together Fest, but rest assured, the team has been hard at work. While weve been active on our socials, weve neglected to provide an update here on Steam, so were going to do our best to provide updates here more frequently moving forward.

Name Change


Thats right, its not a trick of the Mandela Effect, we have changed the title of the game. We changed it from Which Way Up: Space Olympics as we realised we didnt want the International Olympic Committee coming after us for trademark infringement. However, in hindsight, we quickly grew fond of the new title, and we hope you will too!

Weve Been Social


Two weeks ago in Melbourne, Victoria, we had an absolute blast at The Game Expo showcasing our game to attendees. We received some wonderful feedback, snapped some fun photos and made plenty of friends! On April 20-21, well be stepping out of our dimly lit basements to be social once more at Generation Games in Sydney. If you happen to be attending, please come by to say hello and give Which Way Up: Galaxy Games a go. And if you havent got tickets yet, theyre still available here.

What About the Game?!


Dont fret; weve been hard at work on some new Galaxy Events, whilst taking on the feedback weve received to improve the existing ones. You may be wondering what these new cute little characters are in the artwork above, their called PIPS! While were not quite ready to give away any specifics, here are a couple of GIFs below to give you some ideas

Galactic game #7- IN DEVELOPMENT


Look at those little Pips!

Galactic game #8- IN DEVELOPMENT


Ever wanted to play golf in space?

Which Way Up: Space Olympics is a family friendly party game that gives unique freedom of movement by allowing you to run on walls and ceilings, orbit around planets, or fall across entire levels by manoeuvring through gravity fields.

Before The Universe existed, the Space Sprites banded together one-by-one to see a dream come to fruition: the dream of life itself. As The Universe began to take shape, so too did space. But space is unpredictable, and creating life is tiresome work. So, the Sprites took it upon themselves to create a pastime. The Space Olympics.

Each event features its own unique bite-sized challenge where up to 4 players can compete. Eject your friends into space as you race across gravity fields, score a goal with an entire moon, leap across planets to escape a black hole, and capture and hold zodiacal constellations.


  • Gravity-bending platforming for up to 4 players locally and online using Steam Remote Play
  • 7 Space Sprites (5 unlocked in the Demo)
  • Hours of fun for family and friends of all ages
  • More than 10 Space Olympic events (6 unlocked in the Demo), including:

Overload

UNSTABLE ENERGY has infected one of the Sprites. Discharge the energy to another player before you OVERLOAD! Run away from the player who is overloading. Last Sprite standing WINS!

Star Ring

The Star Ring is the place to be: jostle with friends to remain in its roving and life-giving light, the only place that fills your scorebar. The first player to fill up their scorebar wins!

Comet Collect

Comets with high energy cores are valuable to the Space Sprites! Collect them before other players, so you can absorb their energy later. Keep control of the Comets by dashing around and nudging them with the Comet Push ability. Keep the opposition away and collect as many as you can in your own base.

Event Horizon

Players are being sucked into a supermassive BLACK HOLE!
Run, jump and platform away from its relentless suck—but don’t get too close to the opposition. Knock them off with your COMET PUSH ability (before they knock you off, of course) and be the last one standing!

Constellation Catch

Race across the universe to touch, hold and capture as many constellations as you can. Constellations are fickle beasts, though. Unless they’re captured, constellations can be stolen from under your nose! Protect yours and poach theirs: it’s a Canis-eat-Canis world out there.

Gravapult

Protect your own precious planet against the volley of the oppositions’ bombs while collecting and lobbing your own counter-offensive bombardment.






Fledgling Space Spirits compete and train together to learn how to one day become the next avatar incarnation of their respective cosmic concepts.

Sprout

A manifestation of biology and organic life, Sprout is a personification of nature and all living things.

Prism

A manifestation of light, Prism is a personification of electromagnetic radiation that can be perceived by the human eye.

Luna

A manifestation of Earth's only natural satellite, Luna is the embodiment of the night and Earth's shifting tides.

Sunny

A manifestation of the Star at the centre of our solar system, Sunny gives our home planet light and energy. Sunny has a close relationship with Prism and they both helped bring life to Sprout.

Maggie

A manifestation of the magnetic fields which allow objects to attract and repel each other. Maggie has the power to bring others together, or keep them apart.

Spark

Having shone for millions of years, Spark is the brightest of all the Spirits.

Orbit

A manifestation of the curved path objects can follow in space when affected by gravity. Orbit will sometimes stop by for a short visit, or they'll never leave.
