About Tools Up!

Tools Up! poster

Tools Up! is a chaotic, cooperative game about home renovation, built to be enjoyed on the couch with friends. Its central conceit is refreshingly simple: the owners of various apartments have handed their homes over to you and left only a blueprint showing how each place should look. From there it is up to your crew to transform each space, working together to complete the job, or making a glorious mess in the attempt.

Structured as a local multiplayer experience for up to four players, the game turns renovation into a frantic race against the clock. You and your friends climb your way toward the top of a skyscraper that badly needs the work, tackling one apartment after another as the pressure mounts. Spanning action, adventure, casual, family, indie and simulation sensibilities, Tools Up! frames its cooperative mayhem as a wild renovation party on PC, where communication and quick coordination are what separate a tidy finished flat from cheerful, paint-splattered disaster.
