Twitch-based death-defying platformer Never Give Up has officially released on both the Nintendo Switch and the PC. With its hazards and vicious traps, the game tests what you are made of in more ways than one. This is the largest game in the Give Up franchise, offering more than 10 stages of guided missiles, buzz saws, giant rhino mechs, and huge boss battles.
With each success, the challenge is increased. That is, every time you beat a level, a new element is layered on making it even harder. This rather treacherous platforming could increase your rage level but the “Give Up” button is always there to save you.
Key features of Never Give Up include:
- PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT
- Iterative level design lets players build their mastery while generating new challenges at every turn.
- EVERYBODY'S A CRITIC
- You have been warned that this game is hard, and every time you fail you're going to be made fun of until you GIVE UP. It builds character.
- EVEN DEATH IS PROGRESS
- Unique GIVE UP button lets you take the coward's way out without stopping your in-game advancement.
- SPEEDRUNNERS, REJOICE
- Built-in splits timer for speedrunners let you track every piece of route optimization on every iteration.
- COSTUMES AND COLLECTIBLES
- Do you like seeing clowns, robots, alligators and mimes dismembered by buzzsaws? Us too. Unlock all 20 costumes by finding collectibles and secrets in each level!
- WAIT, THAT SOUNDS LIKE
- One of the Game Grumps! Egoraptor! Yes, Arin Hanson voices the dashingly handsome and occasionally dismembered BLUE!
Never Give Up can be purchased for $14.99 on the Nintendo eShop, Steam, and GOG.com.
