'Cloud Control': If You Thought Forecasting Weather Was Tough, Try Controlling It

by Matt Evans on September 7, 2010 at 09:04 AM

Cloud Control
Being under the weather never seemed like much fun until we played 'Cloud Control.' The game is super simple, and resembles puzzle games you've most likely played before. Basically, there are three types of clouds: fluffy white, stormy gray and rainy blue. Using the arrow keys, navigate the white cloud(s) around the level to find the blue ones, which will be absorbed by whatever white cloud mass touches them. The many gray clouds, however, make it difficult to get to the blue ones, as the gray clouds only allow appropriately sized white clouds to pass through their ranks. Quite often, if you've made your cumulus cloud too big to fit through all the right paths, as the result of absorbing blue clouds out of sequence, this merits a level restart. Beware, the game starts out easy, but gets quite challenging towards the last few levels, when the clouds begin to control your moves more than you do theirs. Sounds like real life, right?
