Let Fred Toáll of Skyhigh Enterprises take you on a journey building skyscraper around the world! Just don't think you'll make it to the big leagues all that easy. No, no, no. You have to work for it! You have to start in barely populated areas (and that's putting it lightly) and hope that one day you'll make it to those big cities that you so desire to be in. If you can make it working for Fred, you'll make it working for anyone. Game play is simple and easy to learn. Simply tap to stack building pieces which are being swung by a crane. It's not about doing a bunch of things at once. It's about doing one thing and doing it right. It's about hand and eye coordination. As you progress in the game, the levels get harder because the building pieces become more narrow and you have to stack them higher. So are you up for it? Think you can make those buildings reach the sky and beyond? If so, show Fred and the gang what you're made of.
