Sky High Architects: The Game
The Goal: Build the tallest, most profitable skyscraper in the city without letting it topple over.
How to Play:
-
Drop Blocks: A crane swings back and forth at the top of the screen. Tap the screen, click your mouse, or press Spacebar to drop a floor.
-
Stack Carefully: Physics is real here! If you drop a block off-center, your tower will start to sway. Too much swaying, and the whole thing comes crashing down.
-
Earn Cash: Every floor you add brings in new tenants. Tenants pay rent every second.
-
Buy Upgrades: Use your rent money to buy upgrades from the menu:
-
Stabilize Crane: Slows down the crane so you can aim better.
-
Reinforced Steel: Makes your blocks heavier and grippier, so they don’t slide off as easily.
-
Luxury Marketing: Increases the rent you earn from each tenant.
-
Pro Tips:
-
Perfect Drops: If you land a block perfectly on top of the previous one, you get a “Perfect Drop” bonus. Chain these together for huge cash multipliers!
-
Watch the Sway: As your tower gets taller, small mistakes at the bottom become big wobbles at the top. Build a wide, stable base if you can (though blocks are fixed size, placement matters).
-
Don’t Rush: It’s better to wait for the crane to be in the perfect spot than to drop a block that unbalances your tower.
