Only Up: the phenomenon game of the moment deleted from Steam, the developer explains

Last May, the independent studio SCKR Gamescomposed of a single developer, launched Only Up, a platform game that has delighted gamers who love to rage and videographers on Youtube, Twitch and others. The principle is simple, you have to climb obstacles and go as high as possible, until you reach the top, without a save point. A failed jump, and you have to start again, sometimes from the very bottom.

But there, Only Up has disappeared from Steam, the only platform where it was offered. The page still exists, but displays the name “not available”, without illustration images, and it is obviously impossible to buy it. So what happened? Well SCKR Games had posted a final message before the deletion of his game, it was he who decided to remove it from Steam. In his press release, he explains that he is a young developer, Only Up was his first production and he made a lot of mistakes in his design. Although the evaluations were “fairly positive”, the developer has suffered from stress in recent months, likely due to the unexpected popularity of Only Up. He definitely wants to turn this page and concentrates on designing another game, Kithin a completely different and more cinematic genre.

Regarding Only Up, well… he’s gone for good. SCKR Games do not intend to republish it, it is necessary to be satisfied with the let’s play on the Internet or illegal versions, which unfortunately remains an alternative for the preservation of video games. A story that is reminiscent of that of Flappy Birdalthough the disappearance of the mobile game was undoubtedly linked to accusations of plagiarism fromassets of nintendo. You can find a lot of games on sale on Gamesplanet.
