How it feels

A side-scrolling sandbox where you craft, build, and survive in a destructible steampunk world of floating islands and sky whales.

What players say

Players praise the concept of building airships, mining everything, and grappling around, but nearly all agree development was abandoned years ago. The 2.5D perspective and messy art style hurt visual clarity, and the game suffers from choppy performance, broken autosave, and sudden one-hit deaths.
