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!

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.

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.MINIMAL SETUP
