SHORT DESCRIPTION
Shivaliva is a single-player puzzle-skill adventure among floating sky-islands.
Go on a space adventure, build relationships, and play mini-games along the way.
Every job, card table and ship's station is its own mini-game, and so is every
fight.

THE DEMO
You start on Cradle Rock with nothing. Take jobs that are each their own
mini-game, play the tavern's tables and climb the five-rung Cradle Gym ladder.
Then cross the sky to Driftspar, where the Labyrinth, the first of the Ordeals,
waits. Sign on with the ferry's crew, or buy a ship at the sky dock and hire
your own: every duty station aboard is another mini-game, and a voyage can end
in a battle in the sky and a boarding.

Twelve mini-games. On the island: Mining, Coin Drop, Lumberjacking, Dish Duty,
Skirmish, Poker. On the ship: Sailing, Navigation, Gunnery, Carpentry, Venting.
And when a raider catches you: the Space Battle. Character creator. One
currency, shop, backpack, chart. Islanders worth talking to: they remember what
you did, know what is happening in the room, and pass word about you across the
island. Befriend them, and court them if the feeling runs both ways.

Conversations with islanders need a live internet connection. Everything else
plays offline.

PLANNED
Eight Ordeals, each on an island of its own with a master at the end, every one
a bearing on the secret island. More mini-games along
the way.

The logo is the name, cut from the game's own blue gem. Please use it as
supplied: no recolouring, no added emblem, never re-typeset as text. The rimmed
files go over the game or footage, the clean ones on backgrounds you design.
