Going Up for iPhone

Game snapshot

Going Up is an iPhone title that puts you in charge of operating elevators inside a high-rise tower. The aim is to transport a variety of passengers — from short-tempered executives to bewildered tourists — to their destinations as quickly and smoothly as possible.

How the game works

Players must plan and adjust elevator routes across increasingly complex floors. Levels introduce new constraints such as limited floor access, multiple lift shafts, and mixed passenger priorities, so efficient routing and rapid choices are essential to succeed.

Core features

• Multiple elevator cars to coordinate, each with its own constraints and timings.
• A wide cast of passenger types, each with different patience and destination patterns.
• Progressively harder stages that require refining your routing strategy and reaction speed.

Controls and accessibility

The interface is tuned for quick sessions and supports one-handed play, making it suitable for short breaks, commutes, or otherwise busy moments.

Competitive and replay elements

A global leaderboard lets you compare scores with other players, adding a competitive edge to each level and encouraging repeated attempts to improve your efficiency.

Who will enjoy it

Casual players who like short, strategic challenges and quick decision-making will find Going Up a solid pick. Its combination of puzzle-like planning and fast reactions makes it easy to pick up but difficult to master.

Paid alternatives to consider

If you’re also interested in premium casual diversions, look into paid scratch-card style apps (often labeled under names such as American Scratchers). These offer a different, more chance-driven experience compared with Going Up’s strategy focus.
