Pilam Sky

Pilam Sky is a campaign game in which you pilot a balloon, defend three nations from pirates and search for the pirates’ base. You choose a pilot from the Chuns, Hussians or Burmese, whose balloons and special attacks differ, then take missions from a global map. If pirate strength reaches its limit in any kingdom, you lose the campaign; to win, you must find and destroy the pirates’ base.

Your airship base

Your base is an airship with rooms. Three rooms are open at the start, and the number grows to thirteen as you progress through the campaign. You can upgrade seven rooms to level 10 and spend battle earnings on room development as you choose.

Plan the campaign

The planning room’s global map lists available missions with timers and shows the current pirate strength in each kingdom. Pirates attack the kingdoms repeatedly. Victories can slow their attacks, but only building a defensive tower reduces pirate strength. Since building a tower in one place means missing an attack elsewhere, you choose the order of missions. You can locate the pirates’ base through reconnaissance or by using defensive towers on the ground.

Fight from your balloon

In standard battles, you pilot your balloon in real time, destroy all opponents and collect coins scattered around the level. You can equip one gun on each side of the basket. Your weapons and attacks include:

• Spears: mounted on the left and right sides of the basket for close horizontal attacks.
• Anchor: suspended beneath the basket for close vertical attacks.
• Guns: used for ranged attacks, with carters, small-caliber guns and large-caliber guns available.
• Special attack: drop an object unique to your nation. It can destroy all enemies below, but is harder to aim than standard attacks.
• Bonuses: purchased in a room aboard your airship and activated instantly. Depending on the type, they restore the balloon’s life, attack all visible enemies or temporarily enable “God mode,” among other effects.

After a victory, you receive coins from the battle and from those collected in the level. Spend them on room upgrades, ammunition and bonuses for later battles.

Special missions

Alongside standard battles, the campaign includes two other mission types. In tower construction missions, you destroy enemies while delivering blocks and placing them to build a tower. In “Tyr” missions, you use a defensive tower’s cannon to shoot down pirates before any reach the ground.

Finish the campaign

Reaching level 10 in the intelligence room or building six towers unlocks the final mission. A boss waits at the pirates’ base; defeating it wins the campaign, provided pirate strength has not reached its limit in any kingdom. A campaign takes approximately 3–5 hours.
