More about this game

In Up & Away, your goal is to climb as high as possible without destroying your balloon. The balloon rises automatically, and you must steer left or right to pass through gaps in the storm clouds. The game speeds up over time, and the gaps become narrower. You have three lives and a shield that absorbs two hits, but the shield has an 8-second cooldown. A run ends when you lose all three lives to storm clouds or lightning strikes.

Tips

  • The shield lasts for 3 seconds and absorbs 2 hits, but it takes 8 seconds to recharge. Save it for emergencies.
  • Lightning strikes give a 1.6-second amber warning. Move out of the lane immediately.
  • The gaps in the storm clouds shrink as you climb, so make smaller, more precise movements.

FAQ

How do I use the shield?
Press the shield button or the Space key. It lasts for 3 seconds, absorbs up to 2 hits, and has an 8-second cooldown.
What happens when I get hit?
You lose one of your three lives and gain 2.2 seconds of invincibility. If you have an active shield, it absorbs the hit instead.
How does the game get harder?
