This Ain’t A Dancing Game!, ASK ME UP XL
Hopefully, one day, Amiga developers and players alike will fully embrace a proper achievement/trophy system and shared leaderboard servers.
Boing Attitude’s second title is called Ask Me Up, a name that might sound like it belongs to a dance game — and honestly, it would be a great name for one!
However, this game has nothing to do with dancing.
Much like their previous release, Word Me Up, this one is a quiz-style game show, challenging you with a steady stream of questions and four possible answers to choose from.
The quiz can actually be quite challenging at times — a welcome surprise for this type of game.
There’s also a two-player versus mode, adding a nice competitive twist, though not all versions support it. The XL version, which I own, includes every available feature.
When it comes to design and presentation, it’s similar to Word Me Up — a bit plain and lifeless overall. Still, that simplicity oddly works in its favour, as it keeps your focus on the gameplay rather than getting distracted by flashy visuals.
Ask Me Up still doesn’t manage to impress. Many of the features that were missing in Word Me Up are, unfortunately, still absent here — things like online leaderboards, achievements, and other modern touches that could have added some much-needed replay value. While that might not align with the developer’s original vision, these are features that today’s players really appreciate.
That said, the game is dirt cheap, so I’d still encourage supporting the team if you’re an Amiga fan — just don’t expect too much. There are a few nice touches here and there, but overall, it’s not something I’d recommend if you’re looking for a polished, modern experience.
Hopefully, one day, Amiga developers and players alike will fully embrace a proper achievement/trophy system and shared leaderboard servers. The Amiboing system, for example, is already excellent — it would be fantastic to see it opened up for everyone.
