Skyrates - Free Browser Flash Game


(click image above for more screen shots!)

Skyrates is a game design and development project exploring different types of gameplay and multiple platforms such as a Flash client, AIM, and a web forum.

In Skyrates, we are experimenting with sporadic play. A good way to think of your interaction with the game is much like checking your email. A few minutes here and there, spread throughout your entire day.

Skyrates isn't just you, though. It's a multiplayer online game that has you taking on the role of an ace pilot trying to conquer the skies. Whether you are a peaceful trader, a careful diplomat, or a bold fighter, the sky's the limit!


I've been playing this game for 2 days now and it's quite intriguing! For anyone who enjoys real time simulation games with the added bonus of a multiplayer environment, Skyrates has a lot of appeal! As I go through the game and learn more about it (there's a lot to learn!) I'll update the blog, but it's worth checking out! Even now there are over 3000 players online, so it's definitely getting a lot of interest!

Try it out here!
