The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A frantic arcade race against the clock where dodging falling obstacles keeps you on edge.

What players say

Players call Run Higher a fun and addictive time-waster, especially for the low price. It is widely seen as a cheap alternative to Only Up, though the random obstacle placement makes it feel luck-based. Some players are frustrated that levels are locked behind an XP grind.
