[h1] Personal Thoughts & Impression of Give It Up! Plus [/h1]
- The devs also made another interesting game slightly different concept but gameplay wise pretty same. It's not available for pc and is named, AR Give It Up! (Give It Up! on AR steroids). You can play by interacting with the camera of your surroundings like Pokémon Go. It's only available in Apple app store ($0.99). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYVzNgERAIc & http://invictus.com/content/ar-give-it-up-50/
I really like the idea of realistic photo background mixed with hand drawn game design. Gives me a vibe or technique like this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cABqiyttbkk
- This is very challenging, unforgiving, cheeky, and spicy hot like jalapenos in a good way.
- 18 of unique original bounce worthy songs which you will fall in love. You don't need to go to hardcore bass club when you can just easily stay at home and enjoy the heart beating roller coaster ride but it jumps like Kangaroo instead of sliding :D
- basically you have to jump over obstacles and and landing on points at the right time. Sometimes there is twist so have to carefully observe consistently xD You can die by being poked with spikes, become a jellow pudding by hitting on cylinder wall like thing. (when not jumped properly or landing fail at the given time)
- This is one of a kind and a hidden gem. The price is amazingly affordable for it's quality and possibly will be one of my favorite 2019 music rhythm game.
- If you like hard bass without human voice (something like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIjKijhv1OU or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNXgknozyhw or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16G-Hv23nqw or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y90yaLFoYoA&t=1s or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIMBMrj-Yis or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqbhM5A0rD0, singleplayer, addicting, hardcore, challenging, unforgiving, trying until you make it, like fast beats, cute adorable quirky plump bunny like hopping character, have fetish for getting poked with spikes or being squashed on you should try it :D
- I think these guys deserve some credit. I hope many people enjoy this indie game and eventually become well known in the music game genre.
- I learned that if you have problem with dying many times due to certain spot or just a mistake, you can buy shields with coins where it lets you just pass through obstacles of amount you bought.
- the characters! So much variety and sounds. You'll have fun collecting all these jello-like blobs :D
- you can use saved up coins to spin wheel for new character unlocks :D (you get character token every 5 spins then you can choose any character you like)
- It reminded me of nostalgia for Beatbuddy: Tale of the Guardians which is older game and fantastic story and jazz punk, electronic like tone music beat game :)

- my drunk octopus fingers could not handle the beats first and it was a bit frustrating (with one mistake, you have to start again and this one was only tutorial!).
- However, [b]I didn't want to give up[/b] (that's right! title name and cynically discouraging but entertaining bot commenter who critiques me when I fail in the game! You hear me? I'm not giving up that easily! you are the reason [b]I don't give it up![/b] so I canz prove it to you teasing rascal :P (Some funny comments he says are "believe it or not, I can do it with my eyes closed.", "you lucky bastard!", "pro tip #52 : Nah.. you don't deserve any tip.", "may the blob be with you", "It's too hard for you. Say it.", "pro tip #15 : Find yourself a therapist some day", "got hangover? maybe tomorrow...", "should I call mommy?", "fun fact : you are the only one who died here," "my mom could do it, "you are lucky that the restart is free," and so on). You get the point :P I think this game is worth it with reading through game over messages hahaha xD
- I imagine the bully commenter of this game might sound like the antagonist in Pit People, holding hardcore bass boombox and shouting at players on megaphone, bouncing crazy with using pogo bal.

- Oh but when I make it he compliments too like "now you're ready to fight against my mom." (I noticed what's up with these mom jokes? It's just so cute xD), "praise the sun!", and so on.
- So far, no bugs, crashing, lagging I encountered and runs decently on my pootato pc.
- I like the way you can choose your tier by jumping through the bouncing portal thing up with no interruption and it changes to easy, medium, hard instead of choosing its difficulty in the menu!
- Colors are monochrome background base with bright neon colors like 90's lime, fancy bright hot pink, Christmas bulb like red, and more focused on certain objects and landing spot.
- slick, mix of gloss and matte, smooth game texture :D It's well polished.
- So far, music is very upbeat, playful, and catchy. (mamomimomomamamamamomimomomamama now I'm hooked with this first stage of music help! love the whistle at the background xD feels like I'm in the military boot camp training)
- The graphic is superb, simple but well designed. Game mechanics is fairly easy to understand once you learn the ropes.
[h1] Suggestions & Ideas [/h1]
- custom music availability
- multiplayer
- steam trading cards for badges, profile background, emoticons.
- I'm curious to get a peek or commentary to hear how the developers made the game. Also the genius mind behind creation of the game music because it is inspiring and out of this world xD
- more funny comments when you die :D (I wish you give life to the commenter maybe add voice of cheeky British guy :P)
- maybe a story mode about evil British ruler holding minions in prison that needs to be saved. The British guy is pressuring (mind trick or prank) to challenge the player in his crazy beat themed world with wits and mocking comments. Maybe this give it up commenter is player's alter personality playing with the mind. Who knows :D
- workshop for players to customize and upload their bootiful backgrounds
- dlc where we can donate money for dev's coffee for more updates and games and give support! you guys deserve it!
