High Rise - A Puzzle Cityscape

In a sea of ad-laden and substandard mobile games, High Rise is an infinitely playable and enjoyable puzzler. What really sets High Rise apart is its minimally interrupted gameplay experience. Ads occur only after losing the game, so a constant steam of advertising can’t interrupt the flow, which is a rare and welcome feature among mobile games. The option to remove ads completely is great but not critical to enjoying the game. The mechanics are simple but take many trials to master. Having refined a reliable strategy, I can play the same round for multiple days, returning to it during a TV commercial break or while commuting. With focus, I regularly score in the hundreds of thousands (resulting in very rare ad plays). A warning: If you download this game, it’s very possible that you will never remove it from your library. It’s a comforting puzzler with just enough complexity to keep you coming back year after year. It’s an incredible accomplishment by the game developers to have created a nearly perfect game. The only problem is that not enough people know about it!

These games should start out easy, then get harder as you go. Not impossible to begin with ?

I got this game around the time it came out and it has been the best distraction when my health hasn’t been great and I can literally spend hours playing with a podcast or something in the background. It’s so calming yet puts your brain to work❤️

This game is a relaxing and fun puzzler. It’s my most played game since I got it a couple weeks ago. Definitely worth the price! The dev should create a hex shape version of it! Three years later: I got to a Level 26 building on 5x5 map! A year ago I was struggling to get to 15. But now I’ve mastered skills no one else in my life will ever know or understand, so I’m bragging to all of you. Peace.

I generally avoid phone games but there are certain scenarios like a doctors office or the airport when I literally have nothing else to do. I read about this game in an Atlantic interview and the description was intriguing, and the aesthetic looked appealing. It’s a phenomenal game experience. Simple, elegant, and enjoyable. I was dreading the ads but imagine my surprise when I was given the option to choose my personal reasonable payment option to never see an ad again! I continue to learn strategies so it’s never boring, and there are enough options that I can’t imagine getting tired of playing. I find myself playing this game instead of getting on Instagram or doomscrolling the news, so that’s an unexpected bonus.

My younger brother introduced me to this game and its sooo fun and complex ^-^!!!

this game is really fun, but some feedback for the devs: it runs really slowly. there's lag in every movement and animation, which makes it basically unplayable. I hope there's an update soon to fix it, because I love it (and also I paid to remove ads and I'd like to be able to actually play it 😬)

The recent changes that offer different sized cities is So fantastic I Adore this game. So appreciate all the time and effort into making this possible. {and I enjoy *every*sized city;-) TySm.🤗

I love this game so much but I’m giving it 4 stars because the rules are complicated without any explanation and I’ll barely manage to merge taller buildings

I already wrote a rave review a few weeks ago. Question for the developer—is there any way you can move the “Construction Complete” screen to the bottom instead of the top, and possibly make it a little bit smaller? All the fun things are happening at the tops of the buildings, and I’d like to look at them when I’m done. The large screen at the top blocks that, since the buildings are tall. You’ve done such marvelous, creative work (Hello, King Kong, helicopter, UFO, and dirigible!) and I’d love to be able to view these things at the end. Thanks!
