About the Game

The Great City of artisans and engineers is gone. All that remains is a mote: one fragment of a fallen civilisation, drifting through a hostile sky, and its own machines are coming to finish the job. Rebuild it, defend it, and take back the sky.

Skymote is a real-time tower defence deckbuilder. Play cards to build and upgrade towers, cast spells, and hold off waves of rogue automatons marching toward your core. Energy and new cards come to you on a timer, so you're always making fast choices under pressure.

BUILD DEFENCES FROM YOUR DECK

  • Play cards to raise towers, buff them with power-ups, and cast spells mid-wave.

  • Earn new cards and upgrade old ones as you go, reshaping your deck to counter the enemies.

  • Find synergies between cards that stack into something far stronger than their parts.

REBUILD YOUR ISLAND

  • Reclaim lost fragments to expand your island and open up new ground to build on.

  • Trade with wandering merchants for rare cards and black-market deals.

  • Upgrade your cards to make them stronger, sometimes with unpredictable side effects.

UNLOCK MORE AS YOU PLAY

Every run adds to the next. Hit milestones to permanently unlock new cards into your pool, giving future runs stronger options and bolder strategies. Lose a run, come back better equipped, push further.

The city fell once. Whether it stays broken is up to you and the deck you build to defend it.
