Welcome to the home page of Which Way Is Up, a traditional and challenging 2D platformer game with a slight rotational twist. Help a mysterious big-eared salaryman named Guy find his keys in a labyrinth of dangers and badly written dialogue.
Here, you can download the original version made for the PyWeek game development competition (beta 0.5.5) or an updated version (beta 0.7.0 or beta 0.7.9) of the game.
There are no current plans to update the game further. However, check out the developer Olli Etuaho's portfolio and blog! If any new developments take place, that's the first place they'll appear in.
