Skies Above

[i]Skies Above[/i] is an underrated short-and-sweet arcade game with snappy controls, a satisfying gameplay loop, and most of all, super cute sky-whales. Rating: 9/10 [h1]What I liked[/h1] [list] [*]Destroying tonnes of alien orbs never gets old, with the added combo system further adding to the satisfaction.[/*] [*]Graphics are great. The sky-whales (leviathans) are particularly well-detailed.[/*] [*]Progression is quick and never feels grindy. Upgrades to your skills and attributes are a nice touch.[/*] [/list] [h1]What I didn't like[/h1] [list] [*]The game could be a little clearer about the mechanics. There is no dedicated tutorial menu to refresh your memory if you miss something.[/*] [/list]

Î was the composer/sounddesigner on this game. Did not played it since the release. Bought it on this summer sale. I have to say Hungry Dingo did a amazing job on this on. Game is ♥♥♥♥♥♥ fun, story is great and you can pet the dog. 10/10 for me

I absolutely love how fast paced the dashing around the sky is--even at early levels, and the music is kickass. The biggest bonus is honestly just that I've played far worse roguelites for far more dollars. At a buck, I wouldn't even think twice about buying it

Very fun. Pretty unstable, crashed a lot for me.

It sounds good, it looks good, it feels good but you don't really find yourself thinking about it outside of the time you're playing it. Coupled with the short completion time and what the gameplay loop turns into at the end, the best comparison I can make when trying to describe what Skies Above feels like is "a very good mobile game." That isn't an insult by any means, the game is just good for what it is and not really anything more. I would personally recommend getting it when it's on sale. FAT ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ DISCLAIMER: There is a bugged achievement the devs have no intention of fixing, so if you're a completionist you *will* have to use a third party application to unlock it.

Feels a bit preachy.
