Above the Clouds is here so it is time to build;
-Higher than ever with the new free mode!
-More strategically with the locking system.
-Fresher with the brand new island!
-Healthier with lots of bug fixes, optimization improvements, and Quality of Life upgrades!
So let’s check everything in detail!
What’s new?
1- Locking System:
-Now you can lock & unlock buildings to have more control over future gameplays.
-You can't lock all of the buildings of a type.
-Locking costs 300 scraps.
-Unlocking locked buildings doesn’t cost any scraps.
-You can change to the locking mode from the bottom right corner of the city blueprint page.
2- New Island!: Noland
-Build above the clouds!
-Only supports are buildable at the start.
-Starter Buildings: 1x Support , 1x Fragile Support, 1x NightClub, 5x Home Office
-Brand new music for the island.
-Completion Milestone: 15.000 Population

3- Free Mode:
-For the ones who want to play Pile Up! without limits. From now on, you can continue your game after a successful run.
-Try beating your high score without the population limitations!
-It gets harder as you go on! Each milestone after completion is farther away than the last one.

Last Words:
As always, thank you for your support and help. We are trying to make the game better each passing day.
I mean It wouldn’t be a first release without save problems, game breaking bugs and computer breaking optimization issues right? RIGHT?
Anyway, let’s push all these lies which we use to fool ourselves and focus on future updates. Because the next one will be focused around clarity issues, the book, tutorials and more settings! Won’t be a major one but we are sure it will help you play the game better.

See ya, time to build above the clouds!
