changedTree of FallsOne of the most significant changes involved the Tree of Fall mechanism. So far, there was one type of ToF in the game that could synergize with all basic types. That has changed now. Each basic type has its own ToF, which can only synergize with the corresponding biomes. We've created separate action cards for each ToF. But getting extra ToFs isn't just limited to cards. From now on, you can also find ToFs on bonus islands, so by unlocking them, you not only gain a bunch of extra points but also access to extra seasons.
addedStat ViewWe've added extra stats that the game tracks, which you can see not only at the end of the game but also during gameplay if you open the lexicon in the pause menu. Here, the game displays your highest scores achieved so far and other data, such as the number of unlocked bonus islands, completed mini-objectives, placed tiles, the height of the tallest tile, and the number of seasons.
changedGame EndFurthermore, at the end of the game, by clicking on the "Show Island" option, you'll have the chance to revisit your islands and move the camera around to find the best composition or even create a video of it. The statistics are also shown here.
addedAchievementsAchievements have been added, at least the first set. You won't be able to complete these in the prologue version, but you can check out the challenges we have in store for the full version.

We're thrilled to announce that the Land Above Sea Below FREE Prologue version is finally out! One of the most important things is that with this step, we've completed the game's demo. Huge thanks to everyone who tried it out and provided us with feedback. We warmly welcome your thoughts about the game (or anything else, of course :) ).

In the prologue version, we've made some major changes to the gameplay to make it more balanced and, of course, fixed a bunch of bugs.

Tree of Falls

One of the most significant changes involved the Tree of Fall mechanism. So far, there was one type of ToF in the game that could synergize with all basic types. That has changed now. Each basic type has its own ToF, which can only synergize with the corresponding biomes. We've created separate action cards for each ToF. But getting extra ToFs isn't just limited to cards. From now on, you can also find ToFs on bonus islands, so by unlocking them, you not only gain a bunch of extra points but also access to extra seasons.

Tutorial

We've made some adjustments to the tutorial to make the game clearer for you. We still don't want a long, boring, and hand-holding tutorial, so we'll only show you the basics. For everything else, there's the lexicon, which we continuously expand and improve based on your feedback.

Stat View

We've added extra stats that the game tracks, which you can see not only at the end of the game but also during gameplay if you open the lexicon in the pause menu. Here, the game displays your highest scores achieved so far and other data, such as the number of unlocked bonus islands, completed mini-objectives, placed tiles, the height of the tallest tile, and the number of seasons.

Game End

Furthermore, at the end of the game, by clicking on the "Show Island" option, you'll have the chance to revisit your islands and move the camera around to find the best composition or even create a video of it. The statistics are also shown here.

Achievements

Achievements have been added, at least the first set. You won't be able to complete these in the prologue version, but you can check out the challenges we have in store for the full version.

The 1.0 version arrives soon! We're incredibly excited about all of this, so once again, a massive thank you for all the positive and constructive feedback you've given us so far!
