About Altitude

✦ AI summary

Take to the skies in this fast-paced aerial combat game where you pilot agile planes equipped with tactical weapons and special abilities to outmaneuver opponents. With seven distinct game modes, deep progression systems inspired by Call of Duty and Team Fortress 2, and a thriving competitive scene, Altitude delivers hundreds of hours of rewarding multiplayer dogfighting.

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 - but hit your afterburners before your Biplane support tears them to pieces with 20mm cannons blazing! 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.
Seven Engaging Game Modes:
  • Plane Ball's constant action makes it a favorite among new and casual players while team-based tactical maneuvers like passing and blocking provide a fun challenge for veterans.
  • Team Base Destruction offers an intense, competitive experience where coordinated pushes and strategic loadout decisions turn the tide. Try a friendly pickup game or join a clan and play in the "Altitude ProLeague" - a competitive tournament scene run by hardcore gamers from the Starcraft and Counter-Strike communities.
  • For the ultimate test of dogfighting skills try 1-life Deathmatch or compete in Demolition for a more tactical, objective-based experience.
  • Or enjoy classic game modes like Free For All and Team Deathmatch.

Altitude is a fast paced multiplayer aerial combat game where I control a small aircraft and compete against other players in colourful 2D arenas. The controls are easy to understand, but the movement gives the game much more depth than I initially expect. I can climb, dive, turn sharply and use the momentum of my plane to get into better positions during a fight. The flying is easily my favourite part. The planes feel responsive, and learning how to control my speed and direction is important if I want to survive against experienced players. I cannot simply point at an enemy and keep firing because good movement is often what separates a successful attack from an easy death. The game also gives me several different aircraft to experiment with. Each plane has its own characteristics, weapons and abilities, so I can find one that suits the way I like to play. There are also different weapon combinations and power-ups that can change how a match develops, which gives the combat a little more variety than the basic controls suggest. The multiplayer modes are where Altitude really shines. I can play traditional team battles, capture objectives and take part in other competitive matc…

This game is old enough to drive and the developers still keep it working on modern hardware and operating systems. It's a simple game, but still fun, especially if you are nostalgic for circa 2010 era flash games

Altitude is one of those small 2D games you don't expect much from and end up sinking way more hours into than you thought The mechanics are dead simple to pick up, but the different ship types are really well designed, each one actually changes how you play. PvP was where the game really shined for me, had so many good laughs in matches, some genuinely great moments with randoms What surprised me the most was the community maps, people built technical parcours that were brutal to finish, took me forever to clear some of them but that's part of the fun Small package, tons of good times, worth it
