Evaluation
Altitude launched on December 4, 2009 and became free-to-play on September 5, 2014. The game has no DLC, no expansion content, and no announced future content — it shipped as a complete multiplayer game and has remained so throughout its life. Nimbly Games has continued to maintain the game with occasional patches over the years, most recently a minor update on July 20, 2025 addressing server configuration and mouse navigation fixes. These patches are purely maintenance in nature — bug fixes and compatibility improvements — with no new gameplay content or any developer statements suggesting new content is planned. The game appears to be a complete, stable product that the developer keeps technically functional for its player community.

About this game
Blast your way across the cartoon skies in this fast-paced game of aerial combat. Nimbly Games has crafted an instantly accessible, rewardingly deep, and ravishingly fun multiplayer action game. The sirens have sounded, bogies are coming in hot…
Jump into the fast and agile Loopy and drop your enemies from the sky with a tactical EMP blast - but hit your afterburners before your Biplane support tears them to pieces with 20mm cannons blazing! Barrel roll through the enemy minefield and arm your nuke as you enter the drop zone. There it is - the enemy base - but two Mirandas just warped in with lasers hot and an Explodet is lumbering into position over their hangar decks — will you carry your team to victory?
Multiplayer Done Right: Altitude combines Call-of-Duty style perks with the gameplay variety of Team Fortress 2 in a fresh multiplayer experience. Carefully refined controls, netcode, and balance make for hundreds of hours of deep, rewarding gameplay.
Seven Engaging Game Modes:
