Save 10% on Q-UP on Steam
Sick of long queues, unfair matchups, and arbitrary reflex tests? Try Q-UP, the coin flipping eSport. It's one part clicker, one part multiplayer strategy game, one part demented capitalism simulator,...
s.team
Q-UP is out NOW on Steam!
1. flip a coin on the internet
2. 50% heads, 50% tails
3. flip another coin
it's $8.99
... but more importantly it's $7.99 if you already own Unfair Flips

Inspired by some great discussion on Q-UP from @austinwalker.bsky.social, @notquitereal.bsky.social, @sylvibullet.bsky.social, @molleindustria.org and other folks, I wrote a short piece on the design inspiration for Q-UP and what developing the game meant to me

Qing-UP in the Age of Tilt
As anyone who has played 5 seconds of League of Legends knows, competitive multiplayer games have a tilt problem.

We hipsters use the rich interplay between skill and chance to talk about ideas and feelings.
Assholes developers use it to take our money and time.
Q-UP is content with simply being about that relationship. It’s formalist in the way a formalist painting is about line, color, medium, or texture.
