Official Release Date Announcement

I am thrilled to officially announce the release date for my game - March 13, 2023. MiLE HiGH TAXi players will soon have the opportunity to take on the role of the ultimate scifi hover taxi driver. The game is a fast-paced race against the clock in a vibrant, futuristic city reminiscent of "The Fifth Element" with arcade-style gameplay found in classics like "Crazy Taxi", "Simpsons Road Rage" and more.

Upgrade Complete - Wishlist Goal Achieved

That's not all - I am also overjoyed to announce that I have achieved my personal goal of attaining 20,000 Wishlists for the game on Steam! This is a significant milestone for any game developer, solo or otherwise, and I could not have done it without the support and excitement from fans of the game and community. To celebrate these announcements, I created a new trailer [previewyoutube=Xzs46WdaMkg;full][/previewyoutube] I want to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who has supported me throughout the development of this game over the last 3 years - including my now 6 year old beta testing daughter! Whether you've been following my progress on social media, added the game to your Steam Wishlist, or shared your excitement with your friends and family, your support has been invaluable to me. I am proud of the hard work and effort that I have put into the development of this game, and the achievement of 20,000 Wishlists on Steam is a clear indication that my game concept is being very well-received. I think nostalgia plays a huge role here :) It's also an indication of the trust and support that the community has in me as a developer and in my game.

I Still Need Your Help!

Now is the time for one final push. I'm asking you once again to help raise awareness for MiLE HiGH TAXi, be it in your personal interactions or on your social media accounts. Let's see if we can get to 30,000 or even 50,000 wishlists by March 13th. As we count down the days until the release date, I encourage players to add the game to their Steam Wishlist and join me on social media to stay up-to-date on the latest news and developments leading up to the release. Once again, I want to express my gratitude to all the fans, wishlisters and community for the support and encouragement. Without you this would not have been possible. It's with your support that I am able to bring this game to life and I look forward to seeing you all enjoy the game on its release day.

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!
