Shifting Skies
Follow the last scions of a proud race of Hunters as they struggle to keep the tradition of void hunting alive. In this shoot'em up RPG, you will pilot a cloud ship, slay monstrosities, and juggle the ever-changing needs of the Starving Market. Avoid trash meteors, collect resources, and befriend the factions of the only town this side of nowhere, Pyrra's Hunger. Eyes to the skies hunters, we'll see you in the Void!
Controls:
WASD or Arrow Keys to move
Space Bar to Shoot/Interact
1 or 2 Keys to select values on the Starving Market
Mechanics & Gameplay:
Shifting Skies is a top-down shoot'em up with RPG and stock management elements.
You will alternate between:
Story cutscenes: Where you learn more about the main characters, and the factions in their world.
Return to a Flying Town: After a long day of slaying monsters and watching the market, deliver your bounties and get to know the different factions of the Void.
Hunt levels: This is where you slay Void monsters to gather resources specifically sought out by different factions, represented as different colored coins.
Slaying the monsters: Shoot the monsters to kill them, and collect their resources with your ship.
Spend your coins: You can spend your hard-earned money to upgrade the base values of your stats, which rise and fall over time.
Manage the markets: Time your increases to when your stats are at their highest value- locking the value in for when you return for upgrades. But be careful, if the line is below half, it will decrease the stat instead!
If you die: You repeat the stage. This continues until the mini-boss or boss dies.
The Important Note For Success- Manage your stats and Time your increases when the stats are at their height!
