UP n UP
It's is very simple, abstract arcade game. You’re moving the blue ball, which has to move upwards as high as possible and collect stars.

STARS:
Star colors (types) are very important. Thoose you collect soonest gives the less points, while those which you have to collect the most, give the most points. But be aware that picking up one type of stars takes away two other types, so you have to have a plan.

OPPONENTS:
You can’t hit the red enemies called BAD’s – once hit you’ll lose.

BONUSES:
From time to time you encounter bonuses that can be collected in order to:
- be able to shoot,
- have a red shield (for couple of seconds)
- activate the button to destroy all the enemies (at the top, next to Pause)

CHECKPOINTS:
With the passing checkpoints you’ll get 50 points, but the game speed increases.

CONTROLS:
Drag - grab a field under the ball and move your finger across the screen.
An additional option is the inclusion of day mode (background - light) - the background then the game turns on the light to be able to play it on a sunny day.

Played it on my Galaxy Nexus, ran fine, no issues.

Can't say I particularly enjoyed it, but I don't really like "Start at the beginning and see how many points you can get" games. Is there a better term for that style? I know lots of other people do, so don't take that personally.

I was a bit confused about the stars, the collection bars and how it takes away different colors. I mean, I got the point, go for all one color to fill the bar. I'm guessing you get more points if you fill a bar? And more for the longer bars? But how does that compare to not collecting all the stars? Or do you only get points if you fill the bar? I noticed the level end has how many stars you collected, but not how many "sets" you got (Filled one color bar) or do you only "keep" the starts if you fill the bar? Let's just say that confused me... perhaps if I studied it for a while I'd figure it out...
