Overview of the Game 

Sky has a strong emphasis on social gameplay. Players can meet and make friends and unlock new abilities as their friendships grow, such as chatting and sending gifts.

Sky does not work the same way as your regular mobile game. The player is free to move at their own speed across the 3D world of play.

Many of these ghosts could be other players, and there could be ten behind you for every one of them in front of you. So you might be wondering how you can get into all this fun, you can follow the steps up next to download.

How to Make Friends and Play with Them on Sky: Children of the Light

A core part of Sky is making friends. Friends not only make Sky more friendly, but friends can also help with game aspects. You can help boost cape strength by flying longer and higher, collect candles and burn plants faster and open multiplayer doors.

The other players that you encounter in the game are from the global community of Sky and will appear first as dark silhouettes. Players must share the light with each other to see a player’s actual appearance.

Tap the other player to share power, and then tap the candle flame icon that appears. If the other player reciprocates, the same steps are done so that both players touch candles. This behavior shows the color presence of both players, one to the other. 

If a player’s true presence is clear, it is possible to make friends by offering the other player a white candle from one’s inventory or by taking a candle provided by the other player.

There Are 2 Alternatives in the Friend Menu

You can tap the star in the “Home Space Constellation” of a friend, or you can tap on a close-by buddy. You can complete the full game as a solo player, though when you team up with a few friends, there’s a lot more fun to be had. 

Exploration is vital, and since there are many hidden secrets to discover, it will reward those who spend their time exploring every nook and cranny.
