Only Up Parkour 2 is a vertical climbing challenge that'll test your nerves and reflexes. It's a pure arcade parkour game where one missed jump means a brutal fall back to square one. Think of it as a blend of Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy and the viral "Only Up!" trend—no checkpoints unless you earn them, just you vs. 500 meters of floating chaos.
The controls are dead simple. Mastering them? That's where the game gets brutal.
Responsive WASD movement with a snappy jump mechanic—works flawlessly on both desktop and supported mobile builds.
You spawn on a beach with one goal: go up. The first platforms are wooden structures—easy jumps to teach you spacing. Use WASD to line up your approach. Tap Space once for a regular jump. No double-jumps here. If you overshoot, you fall. The timer starts ticking the moment you move, so there's no time for stage fright.
As you rise, the platforms get weirder. Shipping containers, floating crates, even a random UFO show up as stepping stones. The game doesn't tell you the safe path—you have to eyeball distances and commit to leaps. One tip: rotate your camera constantly. Some platforms are hidden behind objects. The height counter in the top corner is your only progress bar. Hit 250 meters? You're halfway. But mess up, and gravity drags you back to the beach.
Checkpoints aren't automatic. You unlock them by reaching specific milestones (usually marked by glowing zones). Once unlocked, press "E" to respawn there instead of restarting from zero. This is your lifeline during the gnarly 400-500 meter stretch where platforms shrink to the size of dinner plates. Pro move: memorize checkpoint locations. Knowing you can bail to a safe zone makes risky jumps less stressful.
This game is for players who thrive on frustration-fueled adrenaline. Perfect for quick 5-minute attempts during breaks, or hour-long grinds to finally crack that 500-meter goal. If you loved rage games like Jump King or the original Only Up!, this is your next obsession. It's also ideal for streamers—every fall is a clip-worthy disaster.
It's pure tension. The minimalist visuals keep your eyes glued to the platforms, not wasted on rendering grass blades. The cel-shaded outlines pop against the skybox, making depth perception easier (crucial when you're 300 meters up). The game runs smoothly at high FPS because the low-poly style is optimized for browser play—no lag, no excuses. You'll enter a flow state during successful climbs, then get jolted back to reality when one bad angle sends you plummeting. The stopwatch ticking in the corner adds urgency. Can you beat your personal best? That's the hook.
1. Saves: Progress auto-saves via browser cache, but checkpoints reset if you clear cookies. Cloud saves depend on the platform (Playgama likely supports it).
2. Performance: Runs buttery smooth on low-end laptops and budget phones thanks to the lightweight Unity WebGL build. Zero downloads, instant action.
If you want a no-download parkour game that punishes mistakes and rewards persistence, Only Up Parkour 2 delivers.
