[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]

This game could have been great, standing besides the giants like Minecraft and Terraria, but sadly it hasn't received the love its concept deserved. The game is filled with both horrible mistakes and genius ideas. The weird 2.5D perspective and messy artstyle are probably the most common reason why most folks never give it a try. To be honest, visual clarity suffers a lot because of it and it's just not pleasant to look at in the slightest. The balancing is a joke, You can die in half a second no matter what gear or skills you have, but you can also instantly restore your health to full as long as you have nuts left in your inventory. Game is so riddled with bugs, but most of the ones blocking your progress can be circumvented. The game is clearly not finished and it shows in every aspect of the game. What this game excels at is the airship building. Every single thing you can place has its own weight, buoyancy, resistances and durability values. It's the single thing which makes this game memorable and fun. The world is interesting, but underdeveloped. Exploring the few biomes the game has to offer for the first time, while fun on its own, only leave you wanting more. I hate it when people say "this game is bad, but had extreme potential" when talking about every single failed open world survival crafting game, but this one is really deserving of these words. I suggest playing this game, not to have fun, but to get mad over what it could have become if things turned out slightly differently 10 years ago.
