UPWARD for Playdate
A downloadable game
Ported by Daniel Bokser, Matthias Falk's PICO-8 puzzle platformer, UPWARD, is now available on Playdate!
As with the PICO-8 version, the Playdate version is free!
This version also adds an optional HUD that keeps track of your best finish times and your lowest death count you got during a run.
Also, like the original version, your game is saved at the beginning of each level.
The source for this port has been released on Github under GPLv3. It is also one of the very first games written in Zig for the Playdate! Keep in mind you'll probably encounter spoilers if you look at the code before finishing the game!

This seems like a great port, I’m really enjoying it. Stuck on level 11 currently, but hopefully I’ll figure out a solution.
Thanks for porting this over! I hadn't heard of it before and just finished in one playthrough. Really good fit for the console, and a much needed platformer for the system (there isn't many at the moment!)
Thank you!
