About Higher than the Highest

It is a short flight game with one goal, which is to climb as high as you can.

Two things end your climb. Hitting an asteroid stops the run, and so does running out of time, which is why the clocks matter as much as the dodging. Each run turns into a skill check of picking safe gaps while still reaching for the next clock.

Your altitude is what counts. The higher the rocket gets before a crash or before the time runs dry, the better your score.

Key features

  • You pilot a rocket that keeps climbing through an asteroid field.
  • Clocks you collect add extra time to your flight.
  • A crash into an asteroid or an empty timer ends the run.
  • You fly a rocket instead of a plane, but the steer-and-dodge action is close to what you get in airplane games.

Tips & tricks

  • Go for a clock only when the path to it is clear, since a crash costs you more than a missed clock.
  • Line up each move a little early so you are not making a hard turn right next to an asteroid.

Frequently asked questions

What ends a run in Higher than the Highest?
Flying into an asteroid or letting your time run out.
How do I get more flight time?
Collect the clocks floating among the asteroids. Each one adds time, and that keeps this arcade climb going longer.
