Welcome, queens and kings, to 0.11 Update!
This time we brought you:
Capturable busters! Finally, incorporate some big hulking guns into your island. As well as the special resource to power them up - we deliberately decided not to reduce the power of cannons, but you will have to secure a source of ammunition to reliably use them.
New stashes with this resource, as well as Aether shards and mana refills on the levels.
Shorter hexagons for a more aesthetically pleasing sky-drifting experience.
This update is not as big as the last one in terms of game-changing content, we mostly did the groundwork in preparation for 1.0.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
