Players control a culture who have rediscovered the lost plans for a flying city that can visit and trade with Earthbound cities. The city begins as a flying town center, and players build from there. Heavy buildings increase the need for lift, and construction must be balanced to avoid tilting the city. Buildings can also generate drag, requiring more propellers. Coal and other resources from the ground are necessary to keep the city running properly. To harvest them, players can send workers in airplanes. Citizens are initially made happy by providing for basic necessities, but they later begin asking for cultural buildings and luxuries. Players can perform tasks for Earthbound cities, such as finding items that they need, and receive immigrants as a reward. The happier the city is, the more immigrants it gets. The ultimate goal is to unite these cities as your allies. When this goal is reached, players can optionally start on a new map with scarcer resources. A free DLC released in 2022 adds a tundra landscape, which worsens the city's efficiency and removes all food, water, and coal from the land below. The city's look is based on a steampunk version of architecture from the Islamic Golden Age.
