In-depth review: How to play Altitude Zero, the crash game with Gaston
What Altitude Zero is
Altitude Zero is a crash game by Nocturn Play. Every round is one flight: Gaston, a duck pilot in goggles and a red scarf, takes his red-and-gold propeller plane up into a night sky, and a multiplier starts at 1.00× and rises as long as the plane stays in view. Press Cash Out while it is still flying and your stake is paid at the multiplier on screen. Wait too long and the plane flies away with that bet. The top multiplier is 5,000× the stake.
A round, step by step
Between flights there is a short countdown with the words "Place your bets". That is your window. Choose a stake, press Bet, and the panel locks in for the coming flight. If you press Bet while a plane is already in the air, the wager simply waits for the next takeoff.
Once the plane leaves the runway the curve bends upwards and the number in the middle of the screen grows. The higher it goes, the more a cash-out pays: a stake of 2 collected at 3.50× returns 7. When the plane escapes off the top corner of the screen the round is over, the words "Flew away!" appear, and any bet still riding is lost. A fresh countdown starts straight away.
Two bets on every flight
The screen has two bet panels, Bet 1 and Bet 2, and each one works on its own. That makes a split approach easy: one panel takes a quick profit early, the other is left to chase a bigger number. Both panels have four quick stake buttons, plus and minus controls, and two switches.
- Auto bet repeats the same stake on every flight until you switch it off.
- Auto cash out collects for you the moment the multiplier reaches the value you typed in, for example 2.00× on one panel and 3.00× on the other.
The ribbon above the sky lists the results of recent flights, and the side panel has three tabs: All bets, My bets and Top wins.
How each flight is checked
The point where the plane leaves is decided before takeoff and cannot be changed after bets are in. Under "Check a flight" you can see the check code published before the round, then the flight key revealed after it, and verify that the two match the result you saw. It is the provably fair method crash players already know, put into plain words.
Altitude Zero next to Aviator
Spribe's Aviator made this format famous: a small plane, a rising multiplier and two bet panels. Altitude Zero keeps the controls Aviator players expect and adds its own character, Gaston, who reacts to near-misses and big cash-outs from the corner of the sky. Prefer a dive to a climb? Lumen Drift plays the same way under the sea, with a half cash-out on top. Rather pick your target before the launch? Try Moonshot.
You can play Altitude Zero free on nocturnplay.com, on a phone or a computer, in portrait or landscape. More titles are listed in the games catalogue.
Frequently asked questions
How do you win in Altitude Zero?
Place a bet before takeoff and press Cash Out while the plane is still flying. Your stake is multiplied by the number shown at that moment. If the plane flies away first, that bet is lost.
What is the biggest multiplier in Altitude Zero?
A flight can climb as high as 5,000×, which is also the ceiling for a bet. If a plane gets there, it flies away at 5,000× and any bet still riding is lost, so cash out before the top.
Can I play two bets at once?
Yes. Bet 1 and Bet 2 are independent panels, each with its own stake, auto bet and auto cash-out target.
Is the result of a flight fixed in advance?
Yes. The crash point is set before takeoff. A check code is shown before the flight and the key after it, so any finished flight can be verified in the "Check a flight" panel.
