A slow-burn strategy game about balancing resource scarcity and population growth while building a floating city on a vast ocean, with an undercurrent of dark humour.

What players say

Players overwhelmingly say Buoyancy is an abandoned Early Access game that never reached a finished state. The core idea is praised, but development stopped years ago, leaving it with pathfinding problems and content that runs out quickly.
