Greetings, Captains!
One of the biggest content updates we've ever done, the Aerial Update, is out now! In addition to that, the game is 30% off until October 20!

UPDATE FEATURES
🔹 Salvo for skyship cannons
The cannons on the player's ships have been replaced by salvo fire; now, air battles look much brighter and tactically more exciting.
🔹 Impulse Shield
Reflects projectiles at the enemy.
🔹 Ship's forward guns
The ship now has separate forward guns.
🔹 Reworked skyship boost
The boost has a significant initial impact. It uses energy that replenishes automatically.
🔹 New enemies
🔹 New enemy cruisers
- Double Treat - equipped with a giant cannon;
- Allin - an impregnable flying fortress.
🔹 Destructible armor on enemy ships
Some enemy vessels are equipped with armor that can be destroyed gradually. Also, those vessels have weak spots: if you hit that spot, the enemy becomes more vulnerable.
🔹 Improved enemy balance and AI
In addition, they have updated behavior - aerial enemies now attack at proximity and interact in squads. New types of flying Swarms have also been added.
🔹 Air currents
Speed up map navigation or use the air currents in battles.
🔹 Increased space between islands
More space for air battles
🔹 New music manager
The music now depends on the environment and other conditions, such as the player's health. Also, the manager doesn't just switch tracks but turns the appropriate music layers on/off, which makes the music flow smoothly.
