Key Features
- Vertical Base Building - Build up to reach the many floating islands around this planet and find new buildings and resources to use.
- Antagonistic Wildlife - The local animals are none too happy about you being on their planet. You will have to either build ways to handle them or fight them off yourself lest they destroy all of your hard work.
- No Survival Mechanics - Tired of having to stop what you are doing in order to make sure your character drinks water every five seconds? So are we. In ArchiTac, your goal is to reach and repair your ship but if you want to just spend your time exploring the islands and building whatever you want you are free to do so without worry of death due to not eating a donut in the last minute.
