Skyleria

About the game

After a cataclysm shattered the world of Sonamira, its pieces broke apart and drifted into the sky. You wake up on one of the surviving islands, and the only way forward is to look back — gathering resources, fighting off danger, and gradually rebuilding the broken world, one island at a time.

Skyleria is a top-down survival-adventure game where the focus isn't survival for its own sake, but visible progress: every restored ruin, every patch of land cleansed of infection is a step toward making the world whole again.

Core gameplay loop

The game is built around a simple, engaging loop:

Gather → Restore ruins → Earn EXP → Unlock a new island (portal) → Gather

Every action in the world responds in kind: breaking an infected resource rewards you more, but risks spreading infection to yourself; restoring a house earns EXP — a single shared currency that unlocks crafting, new recipes, and access to ruins.

Key mechanics

• Infection as an environmental threat, not a combat one. The decision happens while gathering, not while fighting. Infected resources give bigger rewards, but shatter into infectious shards when broken — filling a separate meter on top of your health that, if it fills completely, kills your character.
• Two resource types. Regular resources — the standard loot. Infected resources — a riskier but valuable currency that's equally useful across every world.
• World-native resources. Each island holds 1–2 unique resources needed only for recipes tied to that world — so old islands never become throwaway content, they stay part of your progression.
• Gear and health. Base health is 100, and each piece of gear adds +25 (up to a cap of 400). Armor doesn't add health — it increases defense.
• Restoring ruins is the main long-term goal — visible progress that gradually clears infection from the world.
• Crafting and hotbar. Gear and active items are used through the hotbar; cures for infection must be crafted specifically against the type of infected resource that caused it.
