![]() Still, there’s great fun to be had just replaying the levels without a reward.Īs previously mentioned, there’s a wide variety of cosmetics to unlock for Cloudy for players to customize to their content. I would’ve liked to see some extra unlockables for the efforts of going back through the levels. One little nitpick about the NG+ objectives is that there’s no incentive to complete them (besides saying “I did it!”) I unlocked almost all of the cosmetics on my first play-through, so when the time came to replay the game from the start, there was nothing to unlock even as I beat the newly introduced tasks. A level at the beach asks players to soak everyone…without using water. The game also encourages creatively solving the puzzles, with new objectives that revolve around Cloudy’s upgraded arsenal. I enjoyed revisiting every level and trying new ways of ruining the day. I had a lot of fun combining powers, like snow and lightning, to have humans get scared and then immediately slide across a snowy spot…straight off a cliff.Īfter playing through the main story, New Game+ is unlocked, and the game really shines. As new powers get unlocked, all-new levels of fun unfold. New weather powers get unlocked as players progress through the story, letting Cloudy summon weather across all the seasons. Despite the game’s name, Cloudy doesn’t just rain on people. The gameplay is simple, as are the controls: move Cloudy around, and harness the power of the weather to wreak havoc. There’s a cast of fun side characters, with everyone helping or being helped by Cloudy along the journey (well, almost everyone – sorry Buggy.)ĭuring my initial play-through, I was surprised and delighted over and over. No matter the individual levels’ depth, the game is dripping in pop culture references and tongue-in-cheek humor. Complete enough objectives to unlock a new hat or accessory for Cloudy to wear. Some levels are really simple, like “Spooky Forest Road”, while others had a little more effort put into them (I’m fond of “It Came From the Sky!”) Each level has an objective (or two) that needs to be accomplished to advance, as well as optional missions to tackle. Unbound Creations, the developer behind the game, states that there are over 50 levels for players to reign chaos through. ![]() Rain on Your Parade has players controlling Cloudy, a jerk cloud with the goal of making it to the magical, mystical land of Seattle (a lofty goal for any cloud.) Pretty straightforward on the surface, but the real fun is the varied paths of destruction which change from level to level. So when I heard about Rain on Your Parade, self-described as “a slapstick comedy game where you play as a mischievous cloud determined to ruin everybody’s day,” I knew I had to play it. Other games, like Catlateral Damage, have players assume the point-of-view of the everyday house cat with the main objective to knock down as many items onto the floor as possible. I loved doing it in Untitled Goose Game, creating chaos in unsuspecting lives as I quacked to my heart’s content. There seems to be a new trend in games right now with a fundamental hook I absolutely love: wrecking humans.
