## About Altitude

Altitude is a 2009 side-scrolling multiplayer aerial shooter where competitive team-based matches revolve around strategic positioning rather than raw reflexes. Players choose from balanced aircraft classes and customize their planes, with players reporting that meaningful loadout choices significantly impact match outcomes. Server-based multiplayer supports community-driven matches, while an aerial-football scoring mode adds a distinctive twist to standard team combat. Released as a free-to-play title, the game maintains a 91% positive rating from over 1,200 Steam reviews. Reviewers highlight the crisp, satisfying controls, and players describe the experience as nostalgic and retro. The long lifespan and short-burst session structure support sustained competitive play.
