SkyDrift: Explore the World1.6.5

All wind, no engines.

Skydrift is a quiet little game of the air. You launch a hot air balloon from where you actually stand, pick a destination anywhere on Earth (a friend's hometown, a peak you've always wanted to see, the other side of the world) and let real world wind carry you there.

There's no throttle. There's no boost button. Just you, your balloon, and the weather that's happening right now.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

. Drift across live, real world wind patterns
. Launch from anywhere on Earth to anywhere on Earth
. Build a hangar of balloons, each with their own character
. Earn points for distance, coins for the shop
. Track every flight in your logbook with routes, reroutes, and the long way around
. Collect achievements as you drift further

QUIET BY DESIGN

Skydrift is built to live in the background of your day. Set a course on the bus. Check the wind at lunch. Touch down before bed. No grinding, no shouting notifications, no fake urgency. Just the small, satisfying pleasure of watching weather move you somewhere.

WITH FRIENDS, OR ALONE

Compare logbooks, share a destination, or keep your skies entirely your own. There's no PvP, no leaderboards screaming at you. Just shared appreciation for the long way around.

Come drift.
