How co-op works
Online co-op teams use gravity guns to stack scrap materials into towering structures before time expires. Success depends on constant communication and coordinated physics manipulation to keep the junk pile balanced.
About this game
What Goes Up is a physics-driven cooperative building game from Bossa Games where players race against the clock to construct impossibly tall towers from scrap. Using gravity guns to lift, rotate, and place junk pieces, teams must balance structural integrity against the pressure of ticking timers. Every object obeys physics simulation, so a misplaced plank or tilted appliance can collapse the entire construction.

The core loop revolves around grabbing materials, judging placement angles, and reacting when the tower starts swaying. Communication is essential as one player's addition can destabilize another's careful positioning. Gravity guns offer freedom to manipulate objects mid-air, but that same flexibility introduces chaos when teammates work at cross purposes or misjudge weight distribution.
Each session delivers fresh moments of triumph and disaster as towers climb higher and physics stresses mount. The casual genre framing belies the coordination required to succeed, making it a natural fit for groups who enjoy cooperative problem-solving under pressure. Replay value comes from chasing taller builds and refining teamwork strategies within the same frenetic, timer-driven framework.

Frequently Asked Questions
How important is communication in What Goes Up?
Communication is essential. Since every object follows physics simulation, one player placing a heavy item can throw off the entire tower's balance. You need to coordinate with teammates about what pieces to add, where to place them, and when to stabilize before the structure collapses.
What do you actually do with the gravity guns?
Gravity guns let you lift, rotate, and position junk pieces mid-air to build your tower. They give you freedom to manipulate objects from any angle, but they also add chaos since you can accidentally destabilize what your teammates just placed if you're not careful about weight distribution.
Is there a time limit, or can you build at your own pace?
You're racing against the clock. Each session has a timer pushing you to build as tall as possible before time runs out, which adds pressure and forces you to balance speed with structural stability.
