Maximum

About

Maximum is a minimalist physics game where you manipulate an athlete's midair flips to rack up points. Each jump gives you a short window to spin as many times as possible before landing. The catch is simple: touch down on your head and it's game over. The controls are tight, letting you fine tune rotation with precise taps. Points increase exponentially with each added flip, creating a risk vs reward loop that keeps you chasing one more high score. The appeal lies in its brutal simplicity. With no fluff or distractions, it boils down to perfecting a single mechanic. Players report average session lengths of 5-10 minutes as they reset again and again trying to beat their best. The lack of checkpoints or powerups makes each run feel earned. While the PC release in March 2023 didn't generate massive hype, those who pick it up often remark on how easy it is to lose track of time while trying to master the physics.
