Aloft – Critters & Wonders

The Critters & Wonders update adds a whole range of collectible critters that can be found all across the skies of Aloft. Bees, butterflies, bats, frogs, lizards, and many more, with each species coming in a variety of colors, and rarities. Catch them using the net or lure them with feed to bring them on your journey through the clouds. Unleash your cute companions in places where the ecosystem needs a push for balance to be restored. They can even be placed in fancy vivariums on your skyship home base.

Players can now also encounter a new type of floating island in the game, called Wonder Islands. These are fixed in the world and always offer a unique reward or discovery. The Critters & Wonders update adds the first two Wonder Islands, with more planned for the future. Community and creativity are a keystone of Aloft, so in response to community feedback, the update also adds the option to make the island you have chosen to be your skyship a Shared Home, allowing anyone to collaborate with you and build there without restrictions.
