Upgrade to Version 2.0

Aloft
A downloadable game

Hi folks,

In response to some feedback I've received from prospective publishers, I decided to make some changes to Aloft. So, today I'm proud to present a new and improved version of the game. I've made some significant changes:

  1. I have simplified the truck movement. Instead of requiring that the trucks stay together in a single group, they are now allowed to move independently of one another.
  2. I removed the safety truck. With less constrained truck movement, this component is no longer needed.
  3. I added pattern cards. These provide players with a second way to score points and adds an additional layer of strategy to the game.
  4. I added a sixth player color (blue). This increases the maximum player count and helps to ensure that there are enough balloons to keep the game interesting all the way to the end.

All of that being said, I think that the game is still the same at its core. So, if you enjoyed the original version, I think that you should enjoy this one as well. I've updated most of the files, so if you want to play this new version you'll need to redownload pretty much everything. The easiest way to do this is to grab the file aloft_all_files.zip, extract the repo on your machine, and then grab whatever files you need from there.

Cheers,
Mike
