Dinsun Review

Dinsun here. Give It Up! 2 is a game that knows exactly what it is: a test of your patience and your timing. It’s got a very minimalist, almost cute aesthetic, but don't let that fool you—it’s nails-tough. The music is catchy, which is good because you’re going to be hearing the same 30 seconds of a track over and over again as you die and restart. It’s a very honest game; when you fail, it’s your fault, not the game's. I respect that. However, it’s a very one-note experience. Once you’ve played a few levels, you’ve basically seen everything it has to offer. It’s a solid little time-waster, but it's not something I'd play for more than fifteen minutes at a time before my blood pressure gets too high.

Age Rating 4+

Give It Up! 2 is the anticipated sequel to the popular rhythm-based platformer. Players control Blob as it hops along a series of tiles to the beat of an infectious soundtrack. You must tap the screen at exactly the right time to jump over spikes, climb stairs, and avoid traps. This sequel introduces multi-stage levels, hidden rewards, and new Blobs with unique styles. With multiple difficulty settings, it challenges both casual players and rhythm masters alike.

Features

One-tap rhythm-based gameplay

New infectious soundtrack and levels

Multiple difficulty modes for every player

Unlockable Blobs with custom styles

Hidden secrets and multi-stage pathing

Tips

Staying on the Beat

The key to success is listening to the music rather than just watching the screen. Every jump and obstacle is synced to the percussion. If you find yourself missing jumps, try using headphones to better hear the subtle cues in the track.

Navigating Multi-Stage Levels

New to the sequel are branching paths within levels. Some paths are harder but lead to collectible items that unlock new Blobs. If a level is too hard, look for an easier route that stays closer to the floor.
