Evaluation

Lift It launched on January 20, 2017. The store description notes the game is "an alpha build" and mentions that more islands and languages "will be added with the updates," but this language appears to be original storefront copy that was never updated — it does not reflect any active developer commitment made recently. The actual developer activity tells a different story: all news posts scanned (16 total) yielded only one feature patch and three bug fixes. The most recent post, from May 1, 2021, was a minor multiplayer server fix. Prior to that, the only other posts date back to late 2015 — before the game even officially launched. There have been no developer communications of any kind since May 1, 2021, and no new content has been announced or shipped. The game has no unreleased DLC and no roadmap. With over five years of silence since the last update, and no history of major content releases post-launch, the game can be considered complete as delivered.

About this game

Lift It


Lift It is a fresh and dynamic game where you have to train your character in order to gain stats.
You can do 4 types of exercises: bench press increases your strength, squat your health, deadlift your defense and treadmill your stamina.
Increasing your stats will help you to beat your enemies when travelling from the main island (Gym Island) to the other islands.
Beat the 8 gym owners in order to get money, that could be used to buy integrators or weapons.

Integrators and Weapons


With the money you earn you can buy integrators. Each type of integrator can boost a specific stat, doubling it temporarily (3 minutes per dose).
Once you have earned enough money, you can also buy some weapons from Bill, the armorer.
The weapons you can buy are: swords, armors, shoulder armors, shields and belts, each one affecting a specific stat.
These weapons are available in different quality: the cheapest is the wooden quality, then you can find iron, bronze, silver, gold and diamond quality. Higher quality weapons give more stats multiplier.

Combat


You can also practice the sword fight with the 4 trainers in the Gym Island, and get money by beating them.
With the skilled combat system, you have to guess where your opponent will hit you (up, down, left or right) and shield that side. You can also attack in the same way and your opponent needs to guess as well where you are hitting him.
Other than the Gym Island, up to now there are 2 other islands where you can travel, Labyrinth Island and Zombie Island, but more islands will be added with the updates.

Multiplayer


Fight against other players in a 1 vs 1 sword fight!
Other than skills, your stats and weapons quality can make a huge difference!

Other Activities


Lift it allows you to do some other activities in the game, such as playing the guitar with Rosario or Larry. 12 keys are assigned to different parts of the songs, so that you can play them in the order you prefer.
You can also go to the bar and burp with Benny. There are different tonalities of burp, for a total of 2 octaves, diesis included.
Last but not least, you can have fun by dancing with Sarah, with a series of 12 famous dance moves, such as the Gangnam Style, the Moonwalk and the Robot.

Music


There are more than 60 songs you can listen throughout the Gym Island. While training at the gym, rock music will help you to feel powerful and push harder with the weights. While having fun at the bar, softer music will help you to relax or dance, depending on what you decide to do.

Updates


The game is now an alpha build, for the moment, English is the only language available, but with the updates more languages will be added soon: Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and French for sure.

The updates will consist in adding new islands to discover, new multiplayer modes, and new content in the main island too, depending on the players feedbacks.
