About
From the twisted minds that brought you Universal Paperclips and Babble Royale comes a timeless tale about numbers going up and going down, the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat, reverse mergers, spooky action at a distance, and a 3-ton whale with a day job.

50/50. Totally random. Totally fair.
You sit down after a tough day to play your favorite video game. Of course you have to wait 10 minutes to get into a match. When you finally do get into a game, you're up against the sweatiest kids you've ever seen. Meanwhile, the idiots on your team have apparently never even heard of a keyboard. After that guaranteed loss, it's another 10 minute wait just to get into a game with someone who screams at you the whole time and then leaves halfway through. As usual, you played your "favorite" video game for the entire night and the only thing you got was mad.
Sound familiar? We've been there. That's why we made Q-UP! Every single round of Q-UP is determined by the result of a coin flip, so every single round of Q-UP is completely fair. No more smurfs ruining your games. No more inters. No more tryhards. No more stupid reaction times or mechanics. Just perfectly fair matches, every single time.

This game is fire !!!
Positive but barely. It's a very simplistic game at its core, dressed up as a fake Esport about flipping a coin with "perfect RNG" and absolute fairness. But winning or losing isn't really the point, your goal is to generate resources no matter the outcome and rise in ranking, purchase items, and unlock further features. I very much like the presentation and interface of the game. There's a lot of meta narrative and humor around you playing this "fake" game and your career in the fake Esports leagues. The real problem with the game is that the novelty doesn't last. The humor gets tiring, the gameplay barely changes, the meta gets stale, and you start to wonder what you're doing with your life as you sit in a fake matchmaking queue for upwards of a minute to get into a match that lasts way too long as the game fires off 200 node activations on each flip. That the gameplay doesn't evolve enough over the course of the game is the real issue. There's just not enough content or variety here to justify replaying the game with the different heroes but the game expects you to. It's a 6 or 7/10 game, and definitely not worth full price, but on a sale....
Don't believe the negative reviews this is an underrated game. The PVP satire is just a facade for an in-depth game about optimization and probability. You have to think the game is more of like Factorio, Satisfactory, or any automation game. It's a puzzle game
Fun
Started a match Diamond 2, dropped to Bronze 1, and shot to Master 2. GOATED game.
Honestly - I didn't like It and I don't really get the idea of this game :(
A grinding game about all the worst parts of pvp matchmaking? Good meme, but not a great game.
Absolutely addictive - just one more round, all day.
Very satirical and doesnt take itself seriously, but once you learn it it becomes a very in depth puzzle that is very fun to figure out and beat. Started off Medic and learned the hard way that was a bad idea, much easier if you can get a group of friends to play competitive coin flipping with you.
It's alright for the price, feels very polished and with a good soundtrack, but the game is basically the closest to an idle game without being an actual idle game. I would hope for some QoL changes: * Possibility to test flip in the skills tree, so you can see if the skills work the way you think they do, without risking to lose all your rank in an actual game. * Add some kind of auto flipping mode, maybe even allow to play several matches at the same time. Or atleast make the turbo speed unlocked by default. A huge problem was that my first run took about 8 hours of casual background gameplay, which made me lose the motivation to go play another character only to do the same thing with new skills. * Previous point could also technically be ignored, if there was some sort of meta progression between characters - maybe shard upgrades could stay unlocked and maybe each run wouldn't require you to read the same e-mails over and over again... * Multiplayer is lackluster, so mechanics like the mysterious key, team skills and team items seem completely useless, since you can't use them with bots. Maybe it could be possible to set up team comps with a shard upgrade - choose what heroes you want on your team and maybe force them to have some items.
