Aloft News

Hey there, Sky Sailors!

We’ve just revealed our next major update Puzzles & Pyrologics at the Best Indie Games Summer Showcase, and it’s coming to Aloft on June 26!

This update introduces an all-new puzzle system that lets you connect interactive building pieces to power up your creations. Think rotating walls, trapdoors, and more, all linked together by clever circuitry design.



At the heart of this system is a brand-new resource: Emberstone, which harnesses the power of heat-based energy to bring your contraptions to life.

Thanks to these new features, you will now come across puzzles on different islands, such as small trials on points of interest, and bigger, more complex challenges on new Wonder Islands!

We’re also making some improvements to combat by refining the experience to better match the evolving world of Aloft.

Get ready to build smarter, fight sharper, and explore new layers of creativity in the skies. 🧩⚔️

Ahoy, Sky Sailors! ☁️

To celebrate our incredible community and keep our skies filled with good vibes, we’re launching a brand new event: Steering Aloft Together - and we want you to be a part of it!
