Rain on Your Parade

Rain on Your Parade casts you as a small cardboard cutout of a cloud and gives you fifty-plus short levels of progressively more elaborate weather-based mischief. The early levels are about gentle drizzle on picnics; by the end you're calling down meteors on prehistoric eras and tornado-ing parking lots into the sky.

Unruly Studios built the game in the same lineage as Untitled Goose Game, Donut County, and Katamari — short objective-driven scenes where the joke is the gameplay, and each new mechanic exists mostly to land the next punchline. New abilities unlock at a steady rhythm: thunder, lightning, tornadoes, explosive rain, meteors.

Levels span weddings, supermarkets, farms, cities, beaches, military bases, and a handful of stranger places the game saves for the second half. You can customize the cloud's face and hat, the soundtrack is upbeat in the way that makes its tone clear without comment, and individual levels rarely overstay a few minutes.
