High Score
SteamHigh Score is a top-down arena shooter where your goal is to achieve gold medals for each unique class and unlock a diverse array of items. Battle through waves of enemies depicted as numbers and aim to maximize your score. Each run cannot end in death; instead, getting hit by enemies results in a loss of points, adding a strategic layer to your survival. Earn tickets after each run to unlock new classes and powerful items, enhancing your gameplay and aiming for an even higher score. Can you master every class and claim the ultimate high score?









Engage in battles against hordes of enemies represented by numbers. These enemies don't have traditional health pools; instead, they transform into lower numbers when hit. For example, a 6 becomes a 4 when struck with 2 damage, or a 5 when struck with 1 damage.


Each run challenges you to defeat two bosses: an early boss that unlocks new abilities and a final boss to complete the run. Each boss features multiple stages, providing a unique and varied experience in every encounter.








Discover and unlock different classes, each offering unique abilities to help you conquer the numerical hordes. These classes provide distinct gameplay styles, ensuring that every run feels fresh and engaging.








Win a variety of items by using tickets on the grab machine, including active abilities, passive buffs, and consumables. Passives offer permanent stat boosts or buffs for the duration of the run, actives have cooldowns, and consumables have 1 charge recharging every round, adding strategic depth to your gameplay. If you prefer a more predictable outcome, you can skip the grab machine and head to the shop instead. There, you can purchase specific items for a higher ticket cost. This option is ideal for seeking a particular item to enhance your strategy. The shop will change after every completed run however when you're low on tickets, you can lock the store and purchase the item later when you have enough tickets.
