Hi all! Today we are going to tell you about our work on the combat system in Lost in Sky. In this update, we stuck to several basic ideas:

• Making the combat more realistic and spectacular;
• Making the battles more dynamic and aggressive;
• Encouraging player's quick reaction and turning down the reluctant playstyle.

Here's what we implemented: Characters' basic and power blows The new animations made the combat even more realistic. Roy puts all his bodyweight in a sword blow, and Eileen bends her bow with all the might. Attacks look sharper, swifter, and more threatening than before.
However, we wouldn't want to turn the game into one big hack-and-slash no-brainer. Characters stop after dealing a blow or shooting an arrow. This encourages the player to watch the attack timers and choose the exact moment to deal another blow. We'll be monitoring this mechanic and fixing it if needed.
Stamina We had to redesign the stamina system to support the rapid combat. Now characters consume stamina very quickly, but it restores in no time. Dash Each character now has a unique, specific blow: Roy makes a short dash to zip between the targets in combat
Eileen's dash has become longer. Now she can jump forward and shoot the enemy that's following her.
In addition, all dashes now consume less stamina, and you can use them more often. Monsters We speeded up the gameplay and the characters, so we couldn't leave the monsters behind. Their cooldowns and behavior were upgraded and enhanced. Now they can run faster and hit more accurately.
Moving is living. With the new rapid gameplay, our players have a real reason to live up to this slogan! We'll see you soon!

Lost in Sky is a 2D platformer, where the player has one of the two characters with unique abilities to control. The player will seize the right moment to grab control over the relevant character and combine the heroes' abilities in the most effective way to overcome challenges, solve puzzles, and squash hordes of monsters.



Imagine an alternative future, where you are a Special Forces soldier. Shoulder to shoulder with a reliable partner you fight all kinds of enemies, mutants, robots, security devices, and, of course, bosses.
