Sky Break EA v4.1
From your suggestions and some play testings, we realized that the combat system needed more depth, though without ading too much complexity. It also needed to be cleaned to avoid mechas going inside each other at a same spot during combat. Now the mechas own a shield (several shield bars actually). When it is hurt, only the shield is affected at first. If a shield bar goes to zero, the mecha is stunned for a few seconds and damage will affect its life. This mechanics also affects your mechas, but you can help them to retrieve their shield instantly. You blaster has been updated, there is no heat limitation anymore. You can charge your blaster and shoot a full charge that will have different effects depending on the mecha aimed: - if it is a hacked mecha in a stunned state, it will regenerate its last shield bar - if it is an enemy, it deals high damage Mechas orders have been limited to only group orders. Indeed, giving individual attack orders can easily break the combat flow. It is more convenient to give orders to the group, and to change special attacks system to respond either to special conditions or chances. We created new types of enemies which are variants of the existing ones. New enemies will come in the next updates.
The game is now working with many controller devices, such as Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, AirFlo PS3, Steam Controller, Logitech F310/F510/F710, and NVidia Shield controller.

Humanity is threatened. A deadly virus awoke, and it is spreading quickly.
The particular flora of Arcania, a planet used to prepare humans for space colonization, may help in the creation of a cure. But it is now abandoned since working mechas turned against humans.
A group of researchers is sent to this planet to find a solution. You are one of them.
But as you arrived, your spaceship crashed…
Your best chance of survival is to hack some of those mechas and use them as allies to defeat the others.
Your character can also improve its capabilities.
You will be able to activate old installations used to ionize the air and stop the tempest within an area. And thankfully an old station above the clouds, left over by humans, provides good shelter.
It is impossible to land within the tempest, but once you have unlocked some weather controllers, you will be able to travel quickly over the map and save a lot of time.
You can also decide to create a greenhouse directly inside your station if you want to grow and farm plants by yourself.
