00:00This is Umbrella Up by the developers Monster Eye and it was released on the 12th of June 2025.

00:11I'm kind of mixed up on this game. On one hand, I like how unique it is. Using two umbrellas to

00:16climb, hook onto bars, poles, slide down ropes and bars, then swing the umbrella around and open

00:22them up to catch a breeze of wind to take off. But then on the other hand, the movement frustrates

00:28me. You have a giant wheel underneath you, but apparently no motor. So you have to use your

00:33umbrellas to move like using crutches, only worse. And then there's also getting them tangled up when

00:38you climb and they seem to have a mind of their own at times. When it's going good, it's fun. But quite

00:44often I was feeling frustrated with the movement. There was an occasion where you need to smack a

00:50large ball to knock down three giant pins, which will activate a wind machine so you can take off

00:56and go across a gap. But problem was when you don't knock the pins down, you would have to drag

01:00your ass along to hit the reset button. Now, once you've missed a few times and have to drag your

01:05ass back to hit that reset button, it becomes so annoying. I would enjoy this game way better if I

01:11could just use the left joystick to drive around with. But yeah, I still tried my best to give the

01:16game a chance. I had to play it in a few sittings because it just really would annoy me so much that I

01:22had to quit. It's not the best graphics, but it is colourful and a lot of fun to look at. The levels

01:27are well designed with a few fun animations along the way. There's a number of mini games along the

01:31way to keep you occupied between all the climbing. Another annoying factor is you cannot turn off the

01:37music, something I feel every game should offer. This is a fun game and quite unique. If they could

01:42change the movement controls and have the choice to turn music on or off, then I would probably play this

01:47a lot more. But as it is, I will not be coming back to it. Because of the frustrating points,

01:52I can't justify a $15 price tag to this. So if you can catch this on a 40% or more sale,

01:58then give it a go. Now please hit those like and subscribe buttons. Leave a comment if you

02:02have played this and what your thoughts are on it. Thanks guys and happy game.
