Mechanics & Gameplay:

Shifting Skies is a top-down shoot'em up with RPG and stock management elements.

You will alternate between:

Story cutscenes: Where you learn more about the main characters, and the factions in their world.

       Return to a Flying Town: After a long day of slaying monsters and watching the market, deliver your bounties and get to know the different factions of the Void.

Hunt levels: This is where you slay Void monsters to gather resources specifically sought out by different factions, represented as different colored coins.

      Slaying the monsters: Shoot the monsters to kill them, and collect their resources with your ship.

     Spend your coins: You can spend your hard-earned money to upgrade the base values of your stats, which rise and fall over time.      

    Manage the markets: Time your increases to when your stats are at their highest value- locking the value in for when you return for upgrades. But be careful, if the line is below half, it will decrease the stat instead!

If you die: You repeat the stage. This continues until the mini-boss or boss dies.

The Important Note For Success- Manage your stats and Time your increases when the stats are at their height!
