I don't know if this is a labor of love or merely the brainchild of four very gifted games designers, but Level Up is a really weird mash-up of gaming elements that you have probably never seen in a Flash game before.
Let's start with the premise itself: Groundhog Day meets Memento. The game experience revolves around 'days': you explore the world and the clock slowly ticks towards the evening.

Yea there are still a ton of problems with this. Its a shame because it could be a VERY useful app. The P2P and proxy dont work for me, it connects fine but the downloads dont come through. The Direct works on average for 7 pages then you need to restart the app to get the next 7 pages. The Page numbers keep adding up as you download pages which makes no sense because if a book is 297 pages, it will try to get more pages. Overall I have not been able to download an entire book yet. When these problems are fixed Ill be using this everyday. But in the state its in right now - its just unusable.
