Realized I've not posted about this game. Ostensibly for kids, especially fantastic with tipsy parents. Players take turns drawing from a stack of floor tiles to build a towering cityscape, which their heroes must climb.

Each floor tile indicates the wall pieces that must be used to add the floor to the structure. Floor tiles will indicate 1 or 2 wall tiles to use, and the wall tiles come in two sizes: tall and short. And you cannot use other floor tiles as a 'brace' for your new floor piece - they must be freestanding on their wall pieces.

Once the new pieces are added (if the structure has not collapsed), the player then rolls a movement dice and moves up, down or stays the same as the dice indicates. When two heroes are on the same level, they must battle with an opposing dice roll. The victor remains, the loser must move down (possibly triggering additional battles as they go).

The winner is either whomever is highest when the floor tiles run out or, more likely, whomever was highest when the structure collapsed (provided that they were not the one to collapse it).

Super quick to learn, super quick to play. The super battle version supports up to 4 players.

So a bit like reverse Jenga and a race to the top? I'll have to check this out.

That's pretty bang on. There are difficulty progressions, as well, that limit the number of starting points for building structures, and the inclusion of villainous monkeys that must be hung from the structure. The whole emphasis is on making sure the tower falls at some point. (And when parents are involved, alcohol helps).
