Sky Sailors

DESCRIPTION

Sky Sailors is a side scrolling shooting game where the player is in control of a flying Skyship, in a sky filled with floating mountains. There are dangerous sky pirates on the loose and you will have to be quick to use an arsenal of different cannons and weapons to combat them. The goal is to reach the town in one piece or to gain as many points as possible to achieve the highest score.

You can first choose your sky ship equipped with cannons and 3 other unique abilities and weapons. You may then also choose a captain to command your ship these captains will bring unique abilities to the table that will be inherited by your chosen Skyship. Each captain is completely unique and the combinations you choose for your captains and Skyships will change how you play. The game can be quite difficult to start with but once you use all of your abilities to your advantage you will find yourself tearing through masses of enemies. Have fun - the sky is the limit.

BIOGRAPHY

Hello my name is Matthew Oades (aka FrankTheFish) I am currently studying at Media Design School in New Zealand. I am in my first year doing a Bachelor of Creative Technologies (in Game Art) and ‘SkySailors’ is one of my first projects. ‘SkySailors’ is one of my initial and early games and will be the first game I have publicly released. I hope you all enjoy. If a get enough positive feedback I will create a full game but for now the alpha will stay as it is. I also have other games planned for the future.
