About

What this game is

Aetherfall is a 3D browser action game built with Three.js: a complete vertical-slice expedition through storm-broken sky islands. Every run follows the expedition arc — preparation, ascent, breach, and extraction.

You start on your airship deck, ride aether vents and glide across ten floating islands, destroy the storm pylons guarding the vault, and face the Choir Warden — a multi-phase colossus. Then the real run begins: 170 seconds to descend through telegraphed lightning back to your ship, with the relic weighing down your glider.

Gameplay

How it plays

WASD + mouse with soft aim-assist. Space chains jump, double-jump, and held glide; Shift is an aether dash with brief i-frames. Swap between Tempest (rapid, swift) and Bulwark (heavy AoE) stances on the fly.

Abilities charge from landing hits — aggression, not cooldowns. At 60 charge, unleash chain lightning or a radial nova depending on stance. Gold shards heal and charge you. Falling off an island costs hull, not your run.

History

Timeline and world context

Aetherfall was built as the first Metaloot Original — a proving ground for the platform's cloud saves, playtime tracking, artifact inventory, and seamless sign-in. Your best score, storm shards, and the Choir Map artifact all live on your Metaloot profile.
