AboveBeyond is one of the arcade games in the Diemakora collection. It loads in seconds and needs nothing installed. Arcade games are designed around the loop, and AboveBeyond has a good one — short attempts, instant restarts and a score that begs to be beaten. From the tags you can already tell that there is no final level; the game continues until you fail, and distance or score is the goal.

Tips and tricks
- Look one step ahead of your character. Reacting to what is under you is too late; reacting to what is coming is exactly on time.
- Combo systems reward patience: keep the chain alive with safe moves rather than reaching for risky bonuses.
- Find the rhythm. Most arcade games have an underlying beat — taps, jumps or moves that fall on a regular interval — and once you feel it, your accuracy jumps.
- Take a short break after three or four failed runs. Arcade games punish tired eyes more than any other genre.
- Because this is a Family game, take turns and compare scores.
- Because this is a Arcade game, restart early when a run goes wrong instead of grinding out a poor score.
