What's up fellows!
TODAY is patch day. Let me seize this opportunity to introduce myself. My Name is daio and I'm the new community manager of Super Sky Arena.
In order to have even more time to develope new features and add cool stuff to the game, I joined the Super Sky Arena team to help out the game developers.
So now the Devs are locked in their offices and develop 24/7 and I will make sure that you guys know what is going on in the Super Sky Arena Universe!
But let us head to the important information for today:
Observer Mode
We added a basic version of this new feature that we plan on extending alot in the upcoming patches. If you're in a match you can switch to Observer-Mode by opening the menu and pressing "observe".
For now your gamecamera will follow one of the other ships and you can switch between all players or bots.
In the future we plan on adding a different view for observers such as a bird's-eye view which gives you a really cool view of the fight on the planets.
Deathcamera
We also changed the deathcamera a bit. You will now see the player who killed you within the respawn time, so you will remember on whom you need to take revenge ;)
A new Special Weapon
Last but not least we added this sweet specialweapon: The EMP. It is a perfect weapon to escape from enemies who are chasing you.
It will explode shortly after you dropped it and stun every enemy within its range for a short amount of time and exhaust all their fuel.
If you perfect the use of the EMP plus a maneuver like for example a looping you can manage to do very nice kills.
Enjoy the new features! I will be around alot in the future, so see you guys in the Arena!
I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN!

Super Sky Arena is a modern re-imagination of the Starfox multiplayer mode. You pilot a jet fighter to have fast paced dogfights against three of your friends. Play either locally, in splitscreen mode, or create an online game and let your friends join from all over the world. And if your friends are busy, you can always play against the AI to train for future confrontations.
We plan to create the ultimate multiplayer experience for this game. To do this we developed (and are developing) many different forms of multiplayer gaming you can enjoy with your friends.
Local Multiplayer
Online Multiplayer
Local or Online against Bots
In Development: Couch vs. Couch Multiplayer (Online Splitscreen)
Fast paced action dogfight: Fight your friends in a dogfight that requires quick reflexes, strategic maneuvers and powerful weapons
Multiplayer in all colors: You can play in local splitscreen mode, join online matches of your friends and eventually combine both in our couch vs. couch multiplayer (this is still being developed)
Original music: Each map has its own fast pumping music that reminds us of good old 80s and 90s rock
MINIMAL SETUP
OS: Ubuntu 12.04+. SteamOS+Storage: 420 MB available space
