The graphics and audio are good too.
Great concept and beautiful art/music. I felt that the stuff filled up a bit slow and I found it a little hard to not get swamped by clouds (although I see comments saying it's easy so maybe I'm just terrible)
A solid arcade game, with some minor gameplay issues.
I would like the wind direction and speed to change in a less predictable fashion to spice up the gameplay. This would require a wind direction indicator though, so that planning where to go next was still possible.
Some of the pink clouds could spawn outside of the screen at a random interval, as currently there are very few of them and most of the time they are blocked by pollution and/or get pushed outside the area by the wind very fast.
It's a tad odd that while you have a functioning health bar the game also ends automatically when the pollution's gotten too severe. This is not communicated in anyway and comes as a total surprise before figuring out the magic number that the city pollution should't go beyond.
I would rather have the overall pollution have a periodic effect on health meaning that the player could easilly see how close they are to their doom, based on the cloud size and their health bar.
But it was also too slow... The rainbow took forever to fill...
