  • The only problem with this game is the lack of sound. The idea is really original, the controls are fluid, the design is solid... It's a great game.
  • The gameplay is fun but a bit hard to get into at first. I like the graphics and in general the game is pretty polished.
  • Phenomenal! Side-scrolling FTL-like in the skies is something I didn't know I needed in my life until now. I'll be coming back to this for sure!
  • Nice strategy game with multiplayer, shame no audio.

I'm terrible at this so I can't say much about the game itself, but I did enjoy the visuals and your toned down painterly style. You have a really good sense of color. BlindJump had a very atmospheric soundtrack and  I hope you'll make a final version of Skyland with a soundtrack in similarly good taste

Wow this game seems quite polished, although it’s too hard for me.

I can’t pass even a single hostile stage on zone 2.

Guess I’ll have to overuse pausing…

As a fan of FTL and Convoy, this is right up my street.

I've not played too much yet, and don't get very far, think the difficulty curve might be a little steep. For the first few goes I came across a ship with a missile and they killed me instantly. Then I learnt how to access the build menu, and built myself a missile launcher, but they still beat me

On the next run, I built cannons, which let me shoot them down first, but the second ship I came across then had a massive bulk head, two missile launchers, both with forcefields above them! Their first barage took out my missle launcher, so basically I was stuck with two cannons hitting the bulkhead and got flattened by the next missile attack.

Definitely one to play again
