[h1] Fully destructible levels. Just like in Terraria, gather resources to build stuff. Upgrade you flying ship and explore another floating island. Game is ok. You have to save game manually from time to time or loose progress in case of permadeath. Grapple hook your way up to victory! Exploration and plenty of mission errands to do. Might change review in the near future, still checking this one out... [/h1]6 found this helpful
I enjoyed this game a lot. While I am saying I recommend this game there is a lot of flaw in it, which could break the deal for people. First some of the things I enjoyed about this game: For me the grapple hook implementation was done well. The sky/airships were done well. The art style, at least in some areas looks wonderful. Enjoyed stealing ships from random enemies or not enemies. Some of the things that I disliked: It felt too short. As in some other people's reviews, the try at 2.5D graphics wasn't implemented well. Wish the game world was bigger, and the story more fleshed out. This game had a ton of potential that it sadly never reached.1 found this helpful
Game had a lot of potential but was abandonned years ago.1 found this helpful
This game is a very interesting concept that sadly goes underbaked in a few aspects if you are interested in the concept I say give it a try!
love this game. been playing it off and on for a few years now and its fun to play each time. wish that they updated the game and added stuff to it. but otherwise it is great!
I used to play this game years ago off of my brother's account. Randomly remembered it and decided to redownload because of the interesting concept. Game is pretty standard for a 2d survival game, with the added sip building and whale hunting.
