Calm down. This is a small update. Some players used a really difficult solution for W04L01, so I made the intended solution more obvious. Also, I updated the logo to the new version.

At the moment of release, Aloof will be part of Steam's Remote Play Together Event. This event celebrates this very nice feature which is still pretty unknown. Using Remote Play Together, one player owns and runs the game. Others can be invited to play the local multiplayer modes online! Play Aloof's co-op campaign with a friend online using Remote Play Together :D

How does this work?

Each match the AI is randomly generated from these parts: - 4-ish different ways to obtain Islands - 4 ways to do attacks (from small combo's up to combo's of 5) - 5 different tactics for when to repair an Island - And a random chance to do some other tactics (to surprise the opponent)

Can I play against this AI in the game?

Yes, you play against a randomly generated AI when playing "Practice Online". This mode is the same as playing online but instead of an other player, you play against this random AI.

Aloof is a puzzle battler, like Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo and Puyo Puyo Tetris, but plays completely different. In the world of Aloof you summon and defend small islands all the while you build combos against your opponent. Please also note that the game is not done.

What am I looking at?

Aloof is a puzzle battler, like Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo and Puyo Puyo Tetris, but plays completely different. In the world of Aloof you summon and defend small islands all the while you build combos against your opponent.

Who is winning?

It might be important to know that Aloof has multiple win conditions. You win when: - you own all the available islands (the shapes in the sky become islands) - you sink all of the opponent's islands - when the timer runs out and you did the most total damage - or if you manage to sink the opponent's boat

How does the AI play?

I don't really know. Each new match the AI is randomly composed from: - different ways to obtain a single or all islands - different ways to make combos (small or big) - many different reasons to repair his own islands - and maybe the AI will try and take a risk to sink the opponent's boat Please also note that the AI is far from perfect and the game is not done. Enjoy :) For more information about the game and the Online Adventure mode go to https://www.pressbuttonx.com For news and updates you can find me on Twitter: @pressbuttonx And don't forget to wishlist :)
