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.
