Sky Mates

Sky Mates is a 1v1 turn-based tactics game with a dynamically changing board. Players assemble their team to fight for the machine core of a crumbling blimp. To achieve this, all characters - the Mates - bring their own abilities to the table to gain an advantage over the opposing team in order to win at this deadly steampunk sport.

How to play
You can play right here in the browser by launching the application. Starting a local game will allow you to play against another person in front of the same computer. Starting an online game will launch a lobby. Please send the lobby code to the person you want to play with and then you can start the game.
Please do not tab out during gameplay as it may cause connection loss in online mode. We're aware of the problem and are trying to fix it.

You can also download an executable, unpack it on your computer and play the game this way.
