One of my first games as a child, I loved flying around with your own island. Building more and more turrets and shoot at every enemy that gets close. It still has a small but determined community.

Very unconventional setting and gameplay loop. Kind of a Flying Island defense game. Definetly an unsual concept. If I had to compare it to something, probably Space Run, in a third person steam punk esque world of floating fortresses in the sky. Played it around release and would like to see it to the end someday.

I remember this unique experience, a game I purchased after playing a demo of a PC Gamer demo disc. Mixture of base building (sort of) with the island, flying combat, turret shooting, and some platforming. I recall it being easy to cheese, but a lot of fun. Really interesting setting as as steampunk/magic leaning more to the magic than tech side then something like Skies of Arcadia. An idea worth seeing more from.

Me and my friends played it all the time as kids. We completed the story multiple times, discovered and shared secrets and glitches and loved every second of it. Great game, would play again :)

I searched years to find this game! Finally I found it. Bring it back please. The mix of floating islands and building is unique in this artstyle. I played the demo up and down as a kid :D
