Game Zone: Altitude


by daiashi


About The Game

Blast your way across the cartoon skies in this fast-paced game of aerial combat. Nimbly Games has crafted an instantly accessible, rewardingly deep, and ravishingly fun multiplayer action game. The sirens have sounded, bogies are coming in hot ... Jump into the fast and agile Loopy and drop your enemies from the sky with a tactical EMP blast. Barrel roll through the enemy minefield and arm your nuke as you enter the drop zone. There it is, the enemy base, but two Mirandas just warped in with lasers hot and an Explodet is lumbering into position over their hangar decks - will you carry your team to victory?

Multiplayer Done Right: Altitude combines Call-of-Duty style perks with the gameplay variety of Team Fortress 2 in a fresh multiplayer experience. Carefully refined controls, netcode, and balance make for hundreds of hours of deep, rewarding gameplay.

Want something to do in your free time? You like gaming? Try this one out. It is a non-frustrating game that will not cause you to throw your coffee across the room. From its loops and turns to the sound of aerial combat, it's sure to keep you occupied. It is much more addicting than it seems. I hope you enjoy it.

About The Company

Nimbly Games is two guys following their dream to make games. We're inspired by classics like Mario Kart, Starcraft, Counter-Strike, and more recently Call of Duty 4 and DotA. We live and work out of a cheap apartment in Las Cruces, NM and survive mainly on cereal, pizza, and unfulfilled ambition.

Erik Measure is a wannabe entrepreneur who's split his productive life between video games and theoretical physics. He'd better hope this "indie game studio" thing works out.

Karl Sabo used to write missile defense software for the US Government. Keep that in mind the next time Altitude crashes on you.

Getting It To Run

Install Steam (if you don't have it installed already), then start it. You will need to create a new account, if you do not already have one. Once you have Steam up and running, go to the store tab. Click on the Linux tab if you wish and search for Altitude. Click on and download the demo. If you have updated your system, including graphics drivers, you should be good to go.
