The Cloudbreaker Final Playtest Is Live
We are in the final stretches of building Cloudbreaker. With you feedback from the demo we have refined our systems, and finished the content.
This build represents the end product of Cloudbreaker as far as levels, ships, parts, skills, and enemies go. Everything you need to play the full game is here. What is not final is the balance and the art, and that is exactly where we need your help.
We want your feedback on the systems
The content is locked, so now it is all about how it plays. Tell us about:
The ships and how movement skills feel.
The skill trees for each ship, and what skills you are using, or don't care about.
OP builds you find, and combos that feel broken
Parts you think need work.
The pacing of the long loop meta progression. Are you finding that you are unlocking too much at once, or that upgrades are taking too long to unlock.
Endless mode. How hard are you finding it, how long are you surviving?
The more specific you can be, the faster we can tune it.
What is new in this build
New ships:
The Brig. A sturdy hull that trades mobility for toughness, with the new Whirlwind movement skill.
The Frigate: A quick ship that can dive through enemies. Equipped with a powerful Laser core. Flips horizontally letting you flip the direction of parts.
The Revenant: A rotating hull that turns to face your direction of movement, letting you aim directional parts.
Endless mode: unlocked once you clear a layer at difficulty. Lets you survive for as long as you can
Modular difficulty. Difficulty is now built from 13 separate modifiers you toggle on and off in layer select, rather than a fixed ladder.
New layers. new Wastes and Abyss layers each with there own enemies, mini bosses, and bosses.
New Island. Salvage Islands let you scrap a part straight out of your engine, alongside new Wastes and Abyss layers.
Nine new relics, including Explosion Catalyzer, Kill Flywheel, Mirror Link and Part Duplicator.
New engine parts, including the Railgun, the Energy Piton, and the Plasmatic blade.
Rerolls: Reroll part selection with scraps
Roll chance modifications: Change how likely each part is to roll using shards.
