Sandstorm version 1.8 is here! Ships can now have multiple active Boosters, including a new collision attack! Check out what’s new and get full update details!

Improvements and additions

  • Android ahoy! Both iOS and Android pirates will now face each other in the Pirate Arena and battle frantically to climb the leaderboards!
  • New Multi-Booster System! Now level 3+ Sand-Cruisers have access to two Booster skills and level 6+ ships have three! When you use a Booster, the next is chosen at random, so the enemy will never know what’s coming – and neither will you!
  • Strike down your enemies in one vicious blow! A new Booster skill gives your Sand-Cruiser the ability to pummel enemy ships with a devastating full body slam.
  • Tired of scavenging for rusted old parts? In addition to recycling unused Systems for materials, you can now trade-in some of your hard-earned Power Cells for System upgrades!
  • Don’t miss your chance to prove your skill, Cap! You can no longer begin a new PvP fight when the weekly League will end in 5 minutes or less, so get to the Arena!
  • Who’s in charge around here? Now if you change your Game Center/Google Play name it’ll be updated in the game rankings. If there’s no account available, and you’re logged into Facebook, we’ll use that name instead.
  • After a PvP battle you’ll now see your league position instead of your leaderboard position.
  • You can now take up to 3 Tavern missions at a time. Accepting a mission starts a countdown timer, after which you can accept more missions (provided you have less than 3 active missions). The length of the countdown varies with mission difficulty.
  • There’s now a visual hint telling you when flares are ready to use.
  • Level 5 Cougar enemies have been rebalanced.
  • Episode 3 bosses have been rebalanced.
  • Enemy blaster use has been rebalanced.
