I'm happy to announce that MiLE HiGH TAXi, described as "The Fifth Element meets Crazy Taxi", has just surpassed 100 Wishlists on Steam - without any advertising. When I posted the game's store page to Steam, I didn't expect people would take time from their busy day, check out my game, and show their support by Wishlisting it on Steam. At least not without advertising or a little arm-twisting. Seeing the support of over 100 people to date - people I don't even know - makes me feel good about what I'm doing and encourages me to make MiLE HiGH TAXi the absolute best it can be. It makes me feel less alone through all the tireless nights I've been working on it these last 8 months. Look, I know there are games that have thousands, or even millions of wishlists on Steam. But this is my game. It's important to me and I want to share it with you. To that end, special thanks and appreciation is owed to those individuals who have posted into the community forum or contacted me directly with their ideas, feedback, and suggestions. They have been invaluable. I've always found self-promotion to be... awkward... But if you're reading this and haven't already Wishlisted MiLE HiGH TAXi, please do that now! It would mean so much to me and it helps Steam's algorithms know that there is genuine interest and support for the game. That's all for now, but I'll finish up by saying a HUGE THANK YOU to the first 100+ Wishlisters and supporters. For those who are Wishlisting now; thanks and welcome to the family! Sincerely, Cassius John-Adams

MiLE HiGH TAXi is The Fifth Element meets Crazy Taxi.

In this 24th century scifi game you're the driver of a flying taxi cab in a race against time to transport as many paying customers as you can before the meter runs out. Earn enough cash, experience and respect to work the upper floors and skywalks. The higher you work the cleaner the air, richer the customers, and the more cash you can make!

You'll play as Kyle, Emma, or Skyler, a down-on-your-luck citizen relegated to the polluted airs of the city's sub-100th floor level. Your new career as a taxi driver is an opportunity to get out of the slum, the smog, and the eternal shadows, earn money and promotions, and make it to clean air. As you drive through 24th century Toronto, pick up passengers from mile-high super skyscrapers and deliver them to their destinations as fast as you can. Do it fast enough and you'll earn bonus time and make happy customers. Happy customers are well paying customers. Use the GPS to help you navigate, and Driver App mode to find hidden customers. But keep your eyes on the sky - especially when using your Hyper Drive Boost! You're not the only one driving the Skyways and other cars and traffic obstacles will slow you down. Once you get a handle on your new job and learn the city, start using narrow back alleys to navigate the city faster. As you progress, expect to be promoted to the city's higher floor levels where you can earn more money. Become an expert and experience sunlight for your first time as you blast through Skyways at the 600+ floor levels.

MiLE HiGH TAXi is a single player, game controller or mouse-keyboard arcade game that you download and play on your PC (Windows, Linux) or Mac. It isn't about customizing your car or public achievements. There are no save points. Just start it up and get playing!
