Totally Safe Moon Project hits Steam: build the tower, then climb it

Totally Safe Moon Project arrived on Steam on October 30, 2026. It is the first game from Fake Moon, a two-person Finnish studio, published by German publisher rokaplay select. The premise flips the Only Up! formula: instead of climbing a ready-made tower, players build their own tower — from boxes, fences, houses and even clouds, using a Gravity Gun — and then have to climb it. This is CONFIRMED by Fake Moon's own launch announcement on Steam.

The story is simple and absurd in just the right measure: a giant asteroid is heading for Earth, and the only hope is to build a tower to the Moon and haul a homemade laser to the top to destroy it before impact. It can be played solo or in online co-op with up to 4 players in total. At launch, there is no local co-op or split-screen.

The tower is the challenge — and the problem

Because the structure is built by the players themselves, with physics and weight, every session creates a different obstacle: there is no route to memorize, as in a traditional platformer. The tower must bear the weight of up to four players climbing at the same time, and rewards earned on the way up unlock new abilities and upgrade points for gear — with increasingly chaotic effects as the team climbs. Completing the base mission also unlocks a Chaos Mode, an extra layer of challenge.

One launch detail stood out: Fake Moon placed a statement at the top of the game's Steam description saying no AI was used in the development of the game. According to TechTimes, the line answered community questions about the game's key art — and, in a market where many releases carry AI-generated content disclosures, the studio chose to state this explicitly before the marketing text itself.

Price and requirements

The base price is US$5.99, with a 25% launch discount — US$4.49 — until November 13, 2026. The interface includes Brazilian Portuguese, according to SteamDB. Minimum PC requirements are Windows 10, an Intel Core i5 at 2.5 GHz, 8 GB of RAM, an Nvidia GTX 1060 or AMD RX 6600 XT, DirectX 12 and 4 GB of storage.

It is a small release from a debut studio, but with an idea that can be explained in one sentence — and that depends entirely on friends: build something tall enough to save humanity, without the construction itself collapsing halfway up.
