Play High Tower for free — a arcade game that runs directly in your browser on desktop, tablet or phone.

Tips and tricks
- Learn the first thirty seconds perfectly. The opening is the same every time, so it should never be where you lose.
- Aim for consistency before you aim for records. A steady run that avoids mistakes usually scores higher than a flashy one that ends early.
- 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 Arcade game, restart early when a run goes wrong instead of grinding out a poor score.
- Because this is a Adventure game, explore side paths early; adventure games hide their best upgrades away from the main route.
