Something Not Right?

Have you already tried the demo but found something to be ... not quite right? Do you have an awesome idea for a small change that will deliver a big impact? Struggle with the controls or finding passengers? Or maybe something else? Now is your opportunity to let me know. Please be sure to check the bottom half of this page first to see what I'm already working on. Why now? Because the flood gates will be open in just a few days when Steam Next Fest begins, and I expect the number of demo users will go up significantly. Why you? Because you showed an interest in MiLE HiGH TAXi before anyone else! You have either Wishlisted and played the demo, or simply found the demo and gave it a try. I found this during Next Fest. Can I still offer my feedback? Yes of course you can. I'm happy to receive all constructive criticism and feedback. I just wanted to give my early adopters first crack on their ideas - which is why I've posted this before Next Fest. How do I reach you? There are 4 primary ways, depending on what you're comfortable with. [olist]

What I'm Already Working On

Here's a few of the things I'm already adjusting, based on user feedback. These may not be in the public demo builds yet. [olist]

Faster stopping. The "go-stop-go" wasn't quite feeling fast enough on the "stop" side of things. Now the brakes are awesome!

More intuitive direction arrow. Right now the arrow points at the exact destination rather than the route to take. I'm working on making it point out the route instead.

Better controls while going slow. It can be frustrating when you're 10ft away from a passenger but keep overshooting them because of the acceleration. I'm working on making controls better while close to a pickup or dropoff. [/olist] I look forward to implementing suggestions and improvements to make this game as fun as possible!

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!
