About Up'n Down

Up'n Down is a vertically scrolling game that employs a pseudo-3D perspective. The player controls a purple dune buggy that resembles a Volkswagen Beetle. The buggy moves forward along a single-lane path; pressing up or down on the joystick speeds it up or slows it down, pressing right or left switches lanes at an intersection, and pressing the "jump" button makes it jump in the air. Jumping is required to avoid other cars on the road; the player can either jump over them or land on them for points. To complete a round, the player must collect 10 colored flags by running over them with the buggy. If the player passes by a flag without picking it up, it will appear again later in the round.
