Match the game style to your liking!
The game offers various difficulty levels, so if you want to explore the story and admire the beautiful hand-drawn landscapes, you can do it! But if you're looking for a challenge and want to face tough enemies, cunning alone won't be enough! Check out the Meteorite Station to tailor your fighting style to yourself!
You can obtain meteorites in several ways. Of course, by defeating enemies, where they appear along with other loot. You can also find them in hidden chests scattered throughout the map. But you can also buy them in the store on your ship or from a mysterious merchant during the game if you're lucky enough to encounter them.
Meteorites have different properties, both passive and active. They can improve your health, attack speed, or critical hit chances, but they can also completely change your skills, for example, turning healing orbs into deadly grenades.
They also have different rarity, from common and rare to legendary, and can be corrupted, thus providing both positive and negative effects simultaneously. While there is a group of meteorites shared by all characters, each of them also has those assigned only to their class. You can check what new meteorites you've found at the Meteorite Station on the ship.
Alright, but sometimes even that may not be enough against enemies, especially at higher difficulty levels! Luckily, you have access to the Forge, where you can level up selected meteorites, making them even more powerful!
After selecting the right meteorites, all that remains is to see how they perform in battle. Here are a few examples of the effects that can be useful to you in combat, whether it's an air vortex, falling projectiles, or leaving a mark that ignites enemies behind you!
Don't forget about the Shop either, as you can buy some useful meteorites there! But that's not all. You can also buy and change character skins there, as well as purchase additional items for your ship!
To make your gameplay even better, remember about the Jukebox, where you can customize the music and choose your favorite track to accompany you as you gear up for the next battle! New records with tracks can be bought in the store, but they are also scattered around Bird Planet, so keep an eye out!

It’s been a very intense first week, but we’re thrilled to finally be able to share the game with everyone!
Thank you for all the great feedback. We’re trying to fix as many problems as possible, so there will be another patch next week with more fixes. To everyone playing the game from China, we want to apologize for all the issues you’ve been seeing with Online Multiplayer and assure you we’re working on as many fixes as possible specifically for your region. Hopefully, this patch will remedy a lot of the issues you’ve been seeing.

- HP and maybe other powerups can randomly reset in the Horde Mode.
