Playtest Update: Mission editor and new map!

Pilots! A brand-new version of the Battle of BackYard Playtest has just been deployed—and it’s a big one. This update brings fresh air and allows for Your creativity!

New map: Dadventure Bay Lake

A wide-open stretch of water with plenty of sky to burn and just enough terrain for cover.

Perfect for long-range bombing runs, torpedo ambushes, or full-speed aerial jousting over the dock chairs.

Mission editor: now fully functional

You've asked, we delivered: the mission editor is now in your hands!

Build your own missions, scatter buildings, place objectives, and challenge your friends in custom-built chaos.

  • Set up fuel-starved scenarios

  • Fortify the skies with AA bunkers

  • Design impossible challenges for your squad (or your enemies)

  • And then play them live with friends

Bugs? Probably.

This is still the early testing phase, so some things might explode unintentionally (or too intentionally). That’s where you come in.

Join our Discord, report bugs, share your mission setups, and help us shape the game into the glorious backyard battlefield it’s meant to be.
