About Buoyancy
Buoyancy is a city-building strategy game set in an ocean world. You build a floating city by placing platforms that connect to each other, then manage its growing population and resources while moving across the ocean to find supplies and defend against pirates.
Build your city
The city expands across connected floating platforms, with buildings in five categories: Gatherers, Production, Hunters, Military and Utility. Villagers deliver resources in real time for construction and production.
Manage your population
Your population keeps growing, so you need to balance resource production against increasing demand. Keep villagers nourished and happy, and deal with sickness and fires that could cripple the city.
Explore the ocean
Move your city to reach resources and floating junk that may not drift your way. These discoveries can boost building production; many are critical for developing larger cities, and some are necessary for survival. You can find schools of fish and derelict ships, and choose whether to take advantage of rebounding whale populations.
Defend against pirates
Pirates attack if they spot your city. Train Guards to defend against invaders, and place Junk Cannons to destroy many pirates in one shot. Take care to avoid friendly fire.
