Give It Up! is a brutally challenging rhythm game where you assist a cheerful singing Blob on a musical journey. The game features 36 different tracks that require perfect timing—single-tap controls might sound easy, but you'll need to feel the melody to jump over spikes and obstacles without going 'splat.' With a complete graphics overhaul, a checkpoint system for tough stages, and a variety of unlockable characters inspired by everything from the Chinese Zodiac to atoms, Give It Up! is the ultimate test of your rhythm and patience. Don't let the music stop!

Our Expert Score

87/100

Give It Up! is a masterclass in rhythm-based frustration and triumph. It takes the simple 'tap-to-jump' mechanic and fuses it with a pulse-pounding soundtrack that dictates your every move. You play as a cheerful, singing Blob who must hop across platforms, avoiding spikes and obstacles that appear in perfect time with the music. It’s a game that demands absolute focus; a single tap out of sync results in a messy 'splat,' and trust me, you'll be seeing that splat a lot.

What makes it so addictive is the perfect synchronization between the visuals and the audio. When you're in the 'flow,' the game feels incredible—like you're actually performing the music rather than just reacting to it. The latest updates have added massive value, including a complete graphics overhaul, 360 different tracks, and a checkpoint system that makes the notoriously difficult stages much more manageable. It’s stylish, brutal, and incredibly satisfying when you finally clear a stage that’s been haunting you for days. If you love games like Geometry Dash, this is a must-have.

It’s fun
Sat Mar 25 2023 TheAbomanableBeast

I think it’s fun :) a bit challenging, but I think it’s supposed to be that way. It’s also a pretty good time waster, especially if you’re going to be in the car or something for long periods of time.

Hungarian masterpiece

I Love this game! I enjoy this one just a little more than the second version. My only issue is that when I’m on wifi it tells me that I’m not connected to the internet. So to use any internet based features, I have to disconnect from wifi and use cellular data. Please fix this bug!

So awesome

HUGE issue
Thu May 03 2018 ErinHare

The mechanics of the game are fine, sometimes a bit jumpy at the beginning, but whatever. My issue is that when you are doing the daily challenge, at least on “Hard”, it’s says +150, meaning you are getting 150 coins in this level. Well, yesterday I got 143, today it was 132, last week it was 149. Now I mostly every day (let’s say 6 out of 7 days) I beat the level on the first try. STOP SHORT CHANGING THE COINS.

Impossible game

I play the “hard” challenge daily. I make it in less than 5 tries EVERY day, some days even on my first try. Yet maybe 8 levels in, passing your first time is impossible because they have columns that move after you’re mid air, so you have to trial-and-error it, and remember what position each was in order to actually pass a level. Or forced to spend coins on shields in order to make it pass the bits you always forget. Not worth my time.

Fun!

Addictive. It’s frustrating when you don’t pass a level. So much so, you always want to try and try again!

Invictus wimped out!

What happened to all the discouraging messages when you lost? When the game made fun of you. Those were the glory days.

SOO RAGEY AND ADDICTIVE I LOVE IT
Thu Jan 31 2019 Tealdragon16

I really do enjoy this game, it’s sort of similar to geometry dash. I just have one thing, sometimes when you jump I wish the music was exactly on beat I guess but other than that I love this app!
