CurrentlyAll the games in the zup series are the exact same thing with different levels so what I say in this review is valid of all of them. Currently there are 15 zup games, any future ones will most likely hold this same criticism, however, I can only speak for the current ones.
Zup exists for one thing and one thing only. To pad your achievements on steam. Every level you play gives you a bunch of achievements, even just opening the game for the first time will drown you in achievements. One of the most common reasons for wanting said achievements is for your achievement showcase on your steam profile as each achievement in the game is a letter of the alphabet or a number this game will allow you to spell stuff out in there. If this is all you're looking for out of the game then I suppose it's for you.
Gameplay wise zup sucks. It's a physics based puzzle game with inconsistent physics and easy to solve puzzles (when the physics work). Each zup game is a clone of the others and really should just be sold as one large game since they are identical in everything except the achievements you get and the layout of levels. If they were all combined into one and even had a level editor so users could then create their own levels on the workshop then this game would be worth picking up and even worth more than the $0.99 asking price. But as it is I highly recommended against the game for anything gameplay related. If you're after the achievements and that alone then feel free to pick it up.… Expand
