Skies Above

Giant magic space whales 10/10

This game is so fun!! its intense, and so fast paced, and so fun, I love it!

Feels a bit preachy.

just good

Nice game

Skies Above has an absolutely lovely art style. The sprites, the movement, the music and effects - all mesh perfectly. It just looks, sounds, and feels good to play. The story and setting are interesting and fully reflected in the style. The actual gameplay takes a little getting used to but is pretty fun. If I had to gripe I'd say that it can be hard to keep track of your player in all the fast movement, and it sometimes feels like you're reacting rather than controlling. It's a roguelike so expect repetition and sometimes feeling like you're not making much progress. But at its core the game is just nice, well-made, well-presented, fun. Recommended!

It's a very neatly packaged small game. Secondary game play loop is a classic between action to chilling in base (fishing and dog petting included). Main loop is excellent high pace combat with good progression per run and a good feeling of empowerment when getting ever more powerful from base bought upgrades. All in all the execution is great, music, theeming, and banter all good.
