A wondorous game full of clouds.
 

Ok, When I picked up my most recent issue of GI magazine, there was this article about games that you can find online that you most likely never hear about. Among the games like runescape, N, and Stinkoman 20X6; I found this odd little game that was never mentioned in this forum. I took a quick peek at the site and downloaded the installer and I was knocked flat. I came across a game that is too good to miss and shows a bright future of games to come.

Cloud

Now that I have had dinner, I can expand upon the game.

As I said, when I played the game, I was knocked flat. It was a brilliant game with a wonderful concept. The graphics are really well done and the background music just makes me want to cry. When I first saw the menu screen:

I started to think of Katamari Damacy and I started to grow accustomed to the dreamy feel of it. However, when I saw the gamescreen:

I felt like I wanted to cry. I think that this game is truly one of the best that I've come across.

I remember downloading it a while ago, but it was having crashing issues with my computer, so I wasn't really able to play it.

Interesting concept, though.

EDIT:
Tried it again (latest version). Works now.

Game's pretty good. Semi-frustrating controls, though.

It's easy to over-rate the game for it's "oh, Japanese-ish Earth-mother anti-pollution" crap and sappy music. That's what I hated about the anime Arjuna.

I get a 404 on the Stinkoman link.

That's because it really is wrong.
Also, you could go directly to the game in question.

As for the thread topic...
Cloud is an excellent game, albeit I wish there were more to it. It is relaxing, but I don't think it is as relaxing as 'news' said that it was a few months ago. Then again, how often do you get to play with coulds?

Oh, wow. This is wonderful. I like it. I can't control myself at all... but it's pretty. Prettiness takes a third seat to all that is bouncy and shiny.

This looks like it could be a nice game, but the controls just kill it for me. I struggled with it for about five minutes, trying to drag one cloud on to another... just not my idea of fun. Nice visuals, appropiate music, but ugh! The controls.

This is kind of cool, the beauty of it all, but the controlls and camera gave me a headache :(

Wow, this is a fun game. The music is nothing short of excellent. Pwning those dark clouds was indeed fantastic.

I do agree, the controls for both playing and the camera were not good at all. Very poor quality there, but it is still a good game.

Seems like I have to wait some months to be able to play this game. :tpg:

Can't get it. Looks neat. Damn the "The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading" error. Watched the trailer- looks like something to do when I get bored.

I'm going to be making an avatar and signature theme with this game over the next few weeks. I hope more people will look at this though.
