Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.14/day in the week to Aug 29 → 0.71/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About

Ari just wanted extra credit. Instead, he became the accidental wingman in a time-traveling heist to help his physics professor woo the history teacher. Perfect for Controllers and Steam Deck!

LIFTED channels the spirit of classic adventure games, mixing wholesome platforming with high-stakes discovery. Follow clues to find the lost Tiara, solve environmental puzzles, and master fluid movement. Professor Raventhorpe provides the "Vision" while you provide the manual labor.

But keep your head on a swivel. When the villains show up (or an avalanche starts), the pace explodes. The only way out is through.

Professor Raventhorpe’s "Anytime Elevator" hurtles you through both time AND space. In this machine, the floor numbers map to history.
Hit the button for Floor 1712, align the map to the Caribbean, and you arrive in the Year 1712. Right in the middle of pirate-infested Tortuga! But watch out: while the Elevator gets the time right, it rarely lands exactly where you expected. Prof. R is still working out the kinks...
Experience a story full of heart, humor, and 80s movie magic featuring top-tier voice acting from Joe Gaudet as Ari, Ray O'Hare as Professor Raventhorpe, and Evan Widjaja as Julius.
The Slacker: Ari just wants to go home.
The Genius: Professor Raventhorpe will do anything for love.
The Chinchilla: Julius is the only one who knows what he's doing.

Thanks for stopping by! If you have a few minutes, give the FREE DEMO a try and experience the beginning of Ari’s adventure today.

I give this game two thumbs wayyy up. I haven't stopped smiling/laughing since I pressed "play", because the writing and voice acting are so funny. The gameplay is smooth. The puzzles are great. I like this one.
This is one of the most charming and light hearted titles I've played in some time. This game reminds me of what it means to just have fun and enjoy a game. I played through the demo and immediately purchased it. The demo is the first section of the game and is very representative of what to expect. This is a puzzle platformer. It's not asking a lot of you. Press jump at the right time, double jump, wall jump... but nothing that is truly challenging. There are some scenes where you are moving and have to jump or duck on time, there are plenty of climbing and swinging areas... but it's not trying to stress you out. The game is trying to just get you into a bit of a flow state while you enjoy the wonderful scenery and story. And man... that's where it shines. The story here is adorable. The art is fantastic. This has a kind of... Indiana Jones meets Back to the Future vibe. In fact, I suspect the voice actor for Ari (the main character you play as) was chosen specifically because of how much he sounds like Marty McFly. It works really well. But even the Professor, the other characters... the voice acting is just so great. This is a pure hearted adventure romp through historical scenes featuring some really great characters like Black Beard and this... big Italian guy. The humor is definitely cartoon level but not childhood level... it's something that hearkens back to my younger days but that is still mature enough to be enjoyable. They struck a great balance here. This is a wonderful little game. I'm not too sure how long it is, as I've really only played the first couple stages of Egypt and Blackbeard's Hideout, but honestly it's just a joy to play. Especially after work when my brain is fried and I can't handle Kenshi or Lies of P. This just fits the bill. Really ace job on this one. I think it deserves all the attention. If you like these story driven, heart warming, humorous, and somewhat relaxed puzzle platformers then you really can't go wrong at all here.

LIFTED is one fun adventure theme park ride, a blend of platforming and simple puzzling. Its short i not going lie about that, but it theme park fun. There are cosmetic collectables you can find among the level, and some are really well hidden. Plus the voice acting and music is my favorite!

a decent game, but way to short for the price
So far it's easy breezy platforming with a feel-good story. Very inspired by classic 80s adventure movies. Not every indie platformer has to be hardcore. Sometimes you just need a lighthearted romp with low stakes and charming characters. Fun for kids to play / watch, or adults who want a more relaxed experience.
LIFTED — красивая, кинематографичная 2.5D приключенческая игра с приятной картинкой, но лично для меня в ней слишком много головоломок и дёргания рычагов, из‑за чего темп часто падает и чувствуется, что платформинга и свободы движения меньше, чем хотелось бы. Персонажи много болтают, иногда реально не хватает тишины. У меня ушло примерно 4 часа на полное прохождение на стриме с отвлечениями на чат, и без лишних загадок игру можно было бы пробежать за пару часов, так что это скорее сюжетное приключение с элементами платформинга, чем “чистый” платформер; для такой короткой игры с упором на головоломки цена ощущается завышенной, особенно если ожидаешь больше динамичного платформинга, чем сюжетного аттракциона.

What a truly delightful game. I love games where you can tell the people making it had fun. This is such a passion project through and through. The platforming and puzzling are both perfect. This team clearly understood the assignment. Even the voice acting and writing is fun. You can tell former Disney guys worked on this.
Lifted is easily one of the best games I’ve played in a while, and I’d recommend it to anyone. I truly enjoyed its quirky art style and clever overall presentation. At first, I found the restricted left-and-right-only movement a bit annoying and silly. However, the more I played, the more it grew on me—it ultimately created room for far deeper gameplay and inventive puzzles. I know a few people who didn't enjoy it quite as much as I did, which is why having access to a demo was so valuable. It gave me the chance to test the waters when I wasn't sure it would be my style. Ultimately, it blew me away and easily earned a spot in my top five favorite games. Give it a try—it's absolute fun!

[h2]Now that's an adventure![/h2] Lifted (formerly Ari Buktu and the Any Time Elevator) captures the best of classic platformers like Rayman Legends and Gex, then launches you into a delightfully whacky time-traveling adventure that feels straight out of a Marty McFly escapade. The game’s heart, though, is Julius, a mascot so charming he deserves his own spin-off or, at the very least, a plush toy. Story is short, but every moment a joy. Without Julius, this just wouldn’t be the same. If you’re looking for a platformer with genuine character and humor, this one’s a must-play. It's more like a narrative comedy, than a tradition sense of adventure. Do your thing, soak in the atmosphere and a few laughs. Great times.
