changedBullet Hell, but Smooth!The game was running poorly when there were a lot of bullets flying. The bullet system was reworked from the ground up to better optimize it. Now the game runs really smooth in 5v5 mode, even when all of the planes start to shoot at the same time! Welcome to bullet hell!
addedPlanes Fall Apart (Literally!)This new system opens the door for more visual damage in different modules in the future, and not only for destroyed modules, but also for partially damaged ones!
added10v10 Chaos Mode!To celebrate the optimization of the bullet system, and to further test the capabilities of the game, a madness mode was introduced! From the main menu, you will be able to select madness mode, so when you start a single player game, instead of the usual 5v5 mode, a 10v10 experimental mode will be launched!
changed10v10 Chaos Mode!This mode is pure chaos, and will test your skills as a pilot! But bear in mind that it is experimental, and good performance for the game is not guaranteed. Tell us about your experience with this mode, both how it runs, and whether you enjoy the chaos!
addedA Bigger, Meaner Missile!The new missile model made by Yurisaki3D is now in game and it looks terrifying! Seeing this beast flying to you is not a good experience! And it looks too big and silly for the Blowgun, as it should be!
addedWho’s the Top Ace?The new scoreboard not only looks better and cleaner (still lots of work to do) but it is also ordered by score! You will be able to see at a glance who is the best pilot of each team, so you can hunt them down and take their place!

Bullet Hell, but Smooth!

The game was running poorly when there were a lot of bullets flying. The bullet system was reworked from the ground up to better optimize it. Now the game runs really smooth in 5v5 mode, even when all of the planes start to shoot at the same time! Welcome to bullet hell!

Planes Fall Apart (Literally!)

Now, destroying modules is not only easier but more effective and visually epic! When a plane loses a wing, the wing will detach from the plane and drop to the ground! This not only makes it clearer for you when you lose that wing, but it makes more satisfying to land a strafe on an enemy plane as you watch the destruction unfold!

This new system opens the door for more visual damage in different modules in the future, and not only for destroyed modules, but also for partially damaged ones!

Who’s the Top Ace?

The new scoreboard not only looks better and cleaner (still lots of work to do) but it is also ordered by score! You will be able to see at a glance who is the best pilot of each team, so you can hunt them down and take their place!

Fresh Tunes for Your Dogfights!

The music has been changed so it reflects a bit more the theme of the game! Now, menu music is not the same as battle music, and there's a lot more tracks so it doesn't get as repetitive as before. Enjoy the jam!

Try the new demo update now and tell us what you think on the Discord! Your feedback makes Sky Aces fly higher!
