The painted Cloud Dancer airship facing HMS Thunderer, a huge navy dreadnought zeppelin with a red war stripe, over a tropical sea.

What ye're in for

Fly free

Steer anywhere in the sky with a thumb or the arrow keys. Your broadside cannons fire on their own; FULL STEAM rams anything in your way.

Four skies

The Reef Skies, the rain-lashed Storm Wall, the Sky-Forts at sunset and the starlit Ceiling of the World, about a minute each, in an endless loop.

Hide in the clouds

Duck into a cloud bank and the navy loses its aim. So do you. In the Storm Wall, watch for lightning.

The King's Aerial Navy

Gyrocopters, zeppelins, balloon mines, flak towers, sky pikes and cloud lurkers across four skies.

Four bosses

HMS Thunderer, the Tempest Engine, Fort Sovereign and the Brass Kraken. Each warns you before it strikes.

Plunder

Gold, chests and gun crates fly to you. After every boss, the Sky Market sells exploding shells, a five-ball broadside, a rear gunner, a steam shield and a squadron of up to four wingman airships.

Your airship

Bank your gold in the Hangar for paint, sails, a parrot, and upgrades that last every run: armour, a bigger boiler, a faster gun crew.
