Evaluation
Only Up! 1 released on September 4, 2023 as a complete climbing/platformer game. Since launch, the developer has posted a series of patch updates focused on performance optimization (more FPS, shader improvements, package size reduction) and minor additions like new assets, character clothing, and landscape tweaks. The most recent developer communication was on February 23, 2025 (Update 0.22). There are no unreleased DLC listings, no announced future content, no roadmap, and no developer statements about planned expansions or additional major content. The game has no post-launch major content releases — only incremental optimization and polish patches. All 21 developer news posts are classified as feature-level patches with no announcements of upcoming content or declarations about the game's future. The game shipped as a finished product and its update history reflects maintenance rather than ongoing content development. The last developer activity was February 23, 2025, with no communications since then, but the game had no established major content cadence to diverge from.

PS: For lower PC please DO that: CHANGE the "power management" setting in the "nvidia control panel" for "csgo" set to "prefer higher performance". Changing this fixed the low FPS' issue.
