One Way Up
A browser game made in HTML5

Hooray! The project is officially live and ready to run in your browsers! Now you can watch HUMs race around with your own eyes!

What’s going on here? It’s just a simulator of HUM races. They are tiny, silly, and desperate to win their MUG!

Can you control them? NO! This is like horse racing. Or dog racing. Or… football? You just watch and cheer for your favorite!

How do they know where to run? THEY DON’T! They just run! They might dash forward, hop onto escalators — and sometimes trip, tumble, or knock others over while sliding down. If they crash into an obstacle (like an office cabinet), they’ll turn around and run the other way. If they pass by a water cooler, they might randomly change direction. That’s it! Chaos. Pure and beautiful.

Now let’s go! Watch your HUMs run!

What’s next?

  • Build your own tracks
  • Place bets (YO!)
  • More official tracks straight from the factory
  • Organize tournaments and race series
  • Send gifts to your favorite HUMs (hats??? BUT NO PROMISES THEY’LL ACTUALLY WEAR THEM! Feel the madness of being a fan who mails endless presents to their idol!)
