About This Side Up

This Side Up is a puzzle-platform game that blurs the lines between player and platform. Run, jump, and grab with four characters who fall in different directions. Get each player and box to its destination to beat the level. And remember, you're on company time!


The game includes 50 levels and hours of mind-bending puzzles with an array of platforms and items. Each level is hand-crafted and shows you something new and interesting about the game world.

The game is hella fun, but the controls aren't intuitive at first, you can't use the mouse in the menu. The right employee has do be controled by the left buttons by default, you can change it mid game, but it´s annoying when you try to beat the clock. The game fells like brushing your teeths with the left hand or reading upside down, good for rewiring your brain. Nice experience!3 found this helpful
Cute little game with a mix of cognitive and dexterity puzzles, sometimes a mix of both. Reminds me a bit of Braid where one thematic hook gets reused in new ways to present new puzzles. It was a bit difficult for me to wrap my head around which way each piece would fall in real time, but I guess that's part of what makes it a puzzle
The controls can be tricky at first, but after a few levels you begin to understand how you can use the unique mechanic in different creative ways. Not only is it a great puzzle game, some precision is definitely needed as well. Well worth the price
A delightfully twisted puzzle game, in which you control up to two characters at once, each with their own directional orientation. The puzzles aren't too difficult once you get the hang of the physics, the real challenges are training your brain to juggle all the characters and/or completing levels quickly (in-game level timers). The game is designed to be played with wasd and ijkl on the keyboard, but I played through it with the Steam Deck controller after some configuration. I have a community controller layout for the Steam Deck with the D-pad & ABXY-face-buttons as the two control halves (and the analog sticks, but I prefer buttons for platformers). Note that the game requires the [Enter] key to navigate menus; I recommend rebinding that if playing on controller, but you'll need to at least navigate all the way into a level first. The game runs great on Steam Deck (with the native linux build), even if it doesn't yet work with controllers out of the box.
