How it feels

A rapid-fire puzzle game where you trigger chain explosion reactions to keep a ball on a platform, mixing frantic speed with a surprisingly chill, minimalist loop.

What players say

Players see Zup! X as a straightforward achievement-grinding tool rather than a real puzzle game, with many buying it for Steam profile decorations or card selling. The campaign is very short and the puzzles are simple, but some note a 60 fps cap that feels outdated.
