Skybound-Mechanic

What can go wrong, beeing on a selfbuild aircraft after your whole planet exploded and you're now stranded with only your Board-AI to talk to? Nothing!

"Nothing can go wrong..."

Try to keep your aircraft repaired, collect floating resources with your vacuumgun, discover skyislands using your aircraft and your jetpack, find rare materials and upgrade your ship.

 Maybe at some point you can find signs of the rumored settlercity in the sky? 

Good luck on your journey!

Some development notes...

Hello everyone, I hope you had a blast in the GameJam like I did. I had some "first-time" experiences as well as some "hell I'm good!" experiences this jam :D 

Surely one week isn't long, but I still wanted to do the main assets myself and included some screenshots of the process for you in blender ;)

I went solo for the whole time and it was quiet some work. Feel free to ask questions and comment your feedback. I might wanne take this to a polished game, if more people like the concept. Do a real story and some voiceover maybe... but thats for more then 7 days. Now I'm looking forward for playing your games!

Same for you - go play some games! - I'm sure....

Nothing can go wrong...
