A fun free game - Cloud

this game is great, its so pure and simple its just wonderful.

it's called Cloud, it's on this months demo disk with PC Format, but you can download it here
ftp://intihuatani.usc.edu/cloud/CloudInstall.exe
or visit the officiual site here

it's quite similar to Flow, which was posted here not so long ago (although that may have been posted in GD)

Cloud is very simple, you are a child that dreams of flying over islands... gathering clouds and drawing shapes/patterns and pictures.
you can merge clouds together to create bigger ones, create storms to stop evil acid-rain clouds... it doesn't sound like much but its really worth the download and it can keep you occupied to a fair while

Looks cool, but I can't work out how to do anything. Any tips?

start a new game, and choose the top option.
theres a tutorial in it.

you move around with the mouse (hold space to move slower)
to collect clouds, hold the left shift and press the left mouse
to release clouds, hold the left ctrl and press the left mouse

scroll wheel on the mouse will zoom in and out.

as said, theres a tutorial with it... it tells you to go find some clouds and will explain what to do once you've found some.

so you fly around collecting clouds and then releasing them?

Played this game before and it is clever and quite relaxinf.

The music get boring after a while, and the gameplay repetitive aswell but my sister still loves playing it.
