In 2011, we decided it was a good time to start doing games for mobile phones. At the time, most games were 2D games with somewhat simple and repetitive mechanics, like Angry Birds. However, mobile phones were rapidly evolving and we knew soon smartphones would be able to support 3D games and mechanics that are more complex. This is how Uplift was born.

The game revolves around navigating an air ship, a blimp, through all sort of obstacles to finally reach the other side of a mountain and defeat the main boss. The game has its own unique story, lore book, music and multiple control types to choose from.

There are two versions of the game, a free 6 level version and a paid 10 level version, which roughly has twice the content of the free version.

The games last update was in December 2013, but we do plan to recompile in the near future to support Android 8.0 and above.
