Default Up To The Top By Pixeleap is out now!

I am proud to announce that Pixeleap Studios has just finished their newest game, Up To The Top and it has just been released for IPhone and IPod!
Up To The Top is a beautiful side scrolling platformer that kids and adults alike will love to play, taking control of a cute little dinosaur to make that difficult climb to the top. Each level you tackle will have several ways to get to the top, and the path you choose will determine if you make it to the finish line before the clock runs out.. Pick the wrong path and you will have to start again, while keeping in mind that the more perilous route sometimes yeilds some super items to collect!
Up To The Top runs like a dream on older devices like iPhone 3G, looks great on iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, and screams on iPad. Peter with Pixeleap is dedicated to bringing you the best iOS games..please use this space to let them know how you like their efforts..Thanks

Adjustable D-Pad position on the iPad listed as a feature yet the app isn't universal?

Hi Gabrien,

The game is not in a hd version, but we adjusted The joypad position for those of you who prefer to play on your iPad. It does upscale fine, but is not hd

Default Not bad

Not too shabby for an iOS platformer. Better-than-average level design, decent graphics, good sound, good control. I do wish there was more to to it than collect and avoid, but the levels are fun to play.

BTW, I'm playing on iPad and 2x still looks good.

Can anyone else comment on the controls and level design? How do they compare to other platformers?

My bad, I didn't see your post in the thread. Sounds good but don't like that part about the lacking animations when turning in midjump, sounds like it needs a bit more polish in that department.

How do the controls and level design stand up to games like League of Evil, Mos Speedrun, Robot Wants Kitty and Soosiz?

hmmm... they arn't too bad... like I said, they do fall short of LoE, Mos... and I did beat it in about an hour... it's not like it has controls like REALLY BAD platformers in the appstore... the youtube vid does a pretty good job of showing you what it's like... the controls are responsive, the buttons are a good size, the physics arn't too bad... but really, if you're hoping for another platformer made for speedrunning, you'll be disappointed. It just seems like it's trying to be a speed runner, but it doesn't quite get there... =o/

I don't know if it's how it controls, or the physics... or what...
