About
A game for those who crave the struggle.
You are a man in a glass boat, paddling against the current. The river climbs endlessly up the mountain, winding through perilous waters filled with obstacles designed to test your patience, precision, and sanity. Every stroke propels you forward, but one wrong move—one single touch against the jagged world around you—and your fragile boat shatters, sending you plunging into the depths below.
You will fall. You will curse. You will swear you’re done.
And then, you will paddle again.
What awaits at the top? That depends on whether you can make it there.
Paddle your way up a relentless mountain river with nothing but sheer willpower.
A physics-based nightmare where every movement could be your last.
Multiple themed areas, from industrial gauntlets of sawblades and crushers to frozen rapids and surreal dreamscapes.
Brutal setbacks—one mistake can cost you everything.
An emotional journey of perseverance, frustration, and… maybe enlightenment?
No handouts. No mercy. No refunds.

I used to be a drunk and my wife and kids left me, but I learned to get over hardship through today's game. Upstream! I thought I would be playing a fun game this weekend but NO NO I WASN'T. I had to sit down through an HOUR of gameplay thinking that I was going to beat it just to get a door closed on me. Don't even get me started on those little ducking ducks at the first part of the game. Their incessant quacking is haunting my nightmares. This game is so addictive too, I'm playing this with one hand as we speak. And boy I didn't know that they were going to visualize what I saw daily! That one filter that makes the lights all lgbt or rgb whatever perfectly mirrors what I see on a day to day. In the short time that I've had since I've played the game I've gotten my wife back, my kids love me again, and my restraining order was lifted.
아니 잔잔하게 힐링하는 게임인 줄 알았는데 항아리류 게임이였네요.
You get exactly what they advertise, its very fun, well worth the money. I hope they get more attention.
청둥오리.. 청둥오리를 조심해 !!
정말 재밌는 게임이네요 힐링도 되고 오리랑 재밌게 놀수도 있어서 행복했습니다. 다만 운의 요소가 필요한 문을 넘고나서 게임을 깬듯한 희열을 느꼈지만 더 지옥이 있다는 사실을 너무 슬펐습니다. 재밌게 했습니다. 다른분들도 힐링하러 오셨으면 좋겠네요
