Gameplay

In Spin Up, the player controls a cylinder to help an astronaut escape from being sucked into space. The player must rotate the rings of the cylinder to align ladders for the astronaut to keep climbing. If encountering a ring that cannot be moved, the player must rotate a higher ring. Occasionally, aliens will invade the play area; if they are either below or above the player, a game over occurs. To defeat one, the player must grab a weapon, which can only be used once.[1]
