High Lance
Launches 4 November 2026 · PC
Story
If you fed quarters into arcade cabinets, lost afternoons to Flash games, or couldn't put down a tap-to-flap game, this one's for you. Tap to flap. Higher lance wins. You ride a griffin through an endless world of floating ledges. Rival riders come at you in waves, and when two riders meet, the higher lance unseats the other. One button does everything: flap to climb, land on a ledge to turn and walk, flap again to launch. Every rider is a choice A beaten rider tumbles off and opens a parachute. Catch it in the air to grow your capture streak, or leave it and a griffin carries it back into the fight a rank tougher. Leave too many and your own run keeps getting harder. Know them by how they fly First rank cruises ahead of you, slower, waiting to be caught. Second rank comes at you head-on. Third rank comes from behind, and you'll hear its warning before you see it. You can tell every rival by how it moves, not only by its colour. Don't fly low Every land has something waiting in the liquid below: a leaping pike, a frog, marsh gas, a lava geyser and lava bombs. Each one stirs the surface first, then strikes where you're headed, so climb when you see it. Every land ends...
