Altitude

Aerial combat against up to 64 online opponents, playable for free.

Las Cruces, NM – May 8, 2009 — Independent game developer Nimbly Games today announced the launch of Altitude™, a fast-paced game of aerial combat suitable for all ages. Altitude pits you against up to 64 online opponents as you blast your way across the cartoon skies, unlocking brilliantly original fantasy planes, completing devilish challenges, and customizing your loadout with a wide array of perks along the way. Featuring both strategic team-based and wild free-for-all modes of play, Altitude is available online for PC, Mac, and Linux at http://altitudegame.com for US$19.95.

"We've been blown away by the community response, from professional gamers to people who'd never played an online game before," explained Erik Measure, CEO of Nimbly Games, "We're excited to show everyone exactly what we've done, and invite them to join this awesome community -- a free weekend seemed like a no-brainer."

Altitude is free to play online with friends. Players can unlock additional planes and perks for a one-time purchase of $19.95. Starting Friday, May 8th at 12:01 AM EST and ending Sunday, May 10th, at 11:59 PM EST, everyone can experiment with all of the goodies for free.
