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

Personally, I think that Meta are cowards if they don’t ask me to approve “more surprise cameos than the Epstein Files!” as a marketing pullquote.

I spent so much time in Marvel’s Deadpool VR having nonstop “Deadpool jokes” pumped directly into my ear that I started to see the very predictable anatomy of a “Deadpool joke.” So here is a cursed review of Marvel’s Deadpool VR. www.polygon.com/marvels-dead...

Q-UP hit overwhelmingly positive this weekend which is overwhelmingly flattering!
"That's kind of sick when you think about it."
here's some thoughts from my perspective in a thread

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

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.
