SMALL CARTRIDGES.
BIG PROBLEMS.
Each cartridge is its own playable challenge. Browse the tower’s collection, see what you’re getting into, then connect.
One might send you across collapsing machinery. Another drops you into a boss fight. Another asks you to figure out a strange mechanism.

BETWEEN RUNS
TAKE A BREATHER.
MAKE IT YOURS.
There’s a life outside the towers, too. Explore the night markets, meet the locals and spend your rewards on an apartment that gets a little more ridiculous with every return.
Then sit back in the chair. There’s another cartridge waiting.

A FEW USEFUL THINGS
Can I play it yet?
SkyStray is in development. Join the email list for release news. We’ll share the public play or wishlist link here when it’s ready.
What is a cartridge?
A cartridge is a self-contained playable challenge inside a tower. It could be a platforming route, a puzzle, a fight or something like Pirate Radio. Choose what to tackle, clear the challenge and keep climbing toward the floor Guardian.
Do I need a VR headset?
No. SkyStray is a 2D action adventure. The VR chair is part of your character’s world and connects them to the different tower heroes.
