Update v.0.2.0 (Ice Kraken): -Dec 21 2021

FEATURES:

Aerial random events

Ice Kraken
A huge Ice Kraken will appear in the skies, capable of easily turning your ship into an ice cube. Only one will emerge alive from this battle… But the reward is so worth it!

Boarding
You may come across a large, heavily-armed ship carrying treasure, and you can board this ship if you wish. However, it doesn’t stay in one place. To defeat this enemy, you will have to use all your skills as an experienced sky captain.

Volcano
A small volcanic island floating in the sky. When the volcano erupts, it scatters debris over a certain area. Only the bravest captains who aren’t afraid to explore the island will find a reward in the mouth of the volcano.

Fuel Assistance
You may encounter an Earner ship that has run out of fuel. The ship’s captain will ask you for help. If you help them fuel up their ship, you will be rewarded.

Repairing an Earner Ship
You may come across a damaged Earner ship. The crew will ask for your assistance in return for a reward.


Active abilities for Eva
An ability slot will appear in your inventory. You can buy abilities from Ron and Rupert, a scientist and his ape who swapped bodies in a failed experiment.

Oppressor
An automatic machine gun turret. Shoots suppressing fire and diverts enemy attention to itself.

Shock Storm
A prototype device that generates a lightning bolt and stuns enemies in a radius. Note: Do not aim it at yourself!

Jericho
Experimental technology to utilize solar energy. A weapon of mass destruction. Use at your own risk.

Power Shield
A portable energy shield. Shields you from head-on attacks for a short time. Has a significant disadvantage: enemies can sneak up to you from behind.

Pyrostation
An automatic flamethrower turret. Can rotate 360 degrees and burn enemies around it. Note: Do not use it to cook hot dogs!

Active abilities for your ship
Previously, each airship had its own individual abilities. Now you can change your ship’s abilities. In addition to existing abilities (ship shield and boost), We added an ability called Annihilator: a powerful laser beam that incinerates enemies. Ship abilities, like Eva’s abilities, can be purchased from Ron and Rupert for crystals.

Two new main quests
After the quest where you free the Earner ship, the mines now have two new quests, a new boss, and a new character: Four Arm Frank.

New puzzles
We added three new types of puzzles. There are now more than twenty types of puzzles in the world, and you will get crystals for solving them. You can use crystals to buy and upgrade abilities for Eva and your ship.
