Troposphere

Troposphere screenshot

Troposphere is a resource management game set on islands in the sky in which players must collect resources to survive and expand their village.

To expand, they must build bridges to other sky islands containing the resources they need. Since these islands exists within the Troposphere (the area of the Earth’s atmosphere where all weather happens), they are prone to frequent natural disasters. To combat these dangers, players must build fortifications against these disasters before they reach a resource. Failure to defend can be a major setback in the player’s expansion. The game is set in levels with goals for population, exploration, and time. Build and expand your village as fast as you can!
