Steam Summer Sale reduces the game that is currently breaking Twitch streamers left and right

The inconspicuous Only Up! is a nasty 3D platformer that is currently leaving content creators like DrDisrespect in despair and thereby conquering Twitch. On Steam, the game is currently available at a discount.

What kind of game is this? Only Up! is a nasty 3D platformer that is currently going through the roof on Twitch. Players control the teenager Jackie, who wants to escape poverty and literally aims high. To do this, he must climb winding structures and make daring jumps.

But beware: a small mistake can lead to a fall and nullify all progress.

What kind of offer is this? In the Steam Summer Sale, Only Up! is currently 30% off. Instead of €9.75, you pay only €6.82 until July 13th. On the Steam Deck, the game is considered “playable”, but requires additional configurations. You can find the offer here.

If you like to suffer, you are in the right place

For whom is the game worthwhile? On Steam, Only Up! has a rating of “Mixed” with 69% positive reviews. Nevertheless, the game is worthwhile for those who enjoy a specific type of game.

The platformer is similar to games like Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy and ALTF4. The potential for frustration is immense as you fail repeatedly and are thrown back.

The success is even sweeter when you finally overcome that one obstacle that has driven you to the edge – only to crash and face the old enemy again. The dopamine rush when you actually fight your way to the end must be worth it.

In Getting Over It, only about 8.4% of players managed to do it on Steam.

If you are one of those people who completely do not understand why someone would voluntarily put themselves through this, the colleagues at GamePro explain to you what makes the fascination of the tricky game.

Schadenfreude: The Game

What makes it so popular? More fun than trying to climb up yourself is watching others do it. This makes Only Up! a hit on YouTube and Twitch.

Up to 279,000 viewers followed simultaneously over the last 2 weeks how the game drove their favorite streamers to the edge (via Sullygnome). And absolutely no one seems safe:

It caught both the tough German LoL pro Tolkin,
as well as the two-time NBA Jam Blockbuster Champion DrDisrespect.

So, if you want to avoid this for self-preservation, you can still consider whether it is worth €6.82 to make a good friend dubious joy.

However, it should be mentioned that Only Up! is also criticized not only for its sometimes clunky controls and some bugs but also because NFTs are supposedly advertised in the game. You can read more about it with the colleagues from GameStar.
