Trailer And Screenshots
What Gold Up Is
The key rule is that the player holding the treasure cannot climb. Escaping the pit requires partners to alternate roles: one climbs ahead, the other throws the treasure upward, and the catcher becomes the next carrier.
That makes timing and communication central to the design. It is not just a climbing game; it is a handoff game.
Co-Op And No-Solo Caveat
The source article explicitly notes that Steam features include online co-op and shared/split-screen co-op, but not single-player. Readers should treat Gold Up as a game that requires a second person.
The source also describes a main-menu leaderboard for the fastest teams. PFN has not verified how active the speedrun or leaderboard scene is.
Reader Notes Before Buying
Before buying, check current reviews for input latency, remote-play performance, checkpoint design, and whether the physics feel fair.
If you mainly play solo, this is probably not the right purchase unless the current Steam page later adds a solo option.
PFN Bottom Line
Gold Up has a strong co-op constraint: one player carries the treasure while the other makes the route possible. PFN is treating it as a release tracker until hands-on testing can confirm physics consistency, co-op stability, and replay value.
