Experimental minimal physical puzzle with explosions.
Developed by Quiet River · Published by Quiet River






Zup! XS is a minimalist physics puzzle game with 60 levels. In each one, you take the role of a level-builder, completing a partial setup so a blue ball can reach a platform.
Use the blocks and other pieces provided for each stage to construct a route, then start the action and see how the arrangement behaves. Explosions and timing help move the ball toward its goal.
To clear a level, keep the blue ball on the platform for three seconds. You can adjust your construction and try again, but a failed attempt resets the placed pieces.
Players who enjoy Zup! XS often appreciate building the level themselves, which adds a different kind of planning to the physics puzzles and can make some stages satisfyingly challenging. Some also enjoy the short, casual sessions and the achievements for decorating a Steam profile. Others find rebuilding every placed piece after a failed attempt tedious, and opinions differ on how enjoyable the new format is.
