The briefing

About this game

Highrise is an arcade puzzle game in which you help Barnaby construct a tower from blocks. He moves beneath five chutes, selecting blocks and positioning them on a springboard before they are sent to the building area and stacked on the existing tower.

Careful block selection and placement are essential, as an unstable tower can collapse. Once the tower reaches the required height, Barnaby climbs to a ladder at the top of the screen to proceed to the next level. Each new level allows less time, while an instructor mode removes the time restriction.
