Cloudy with a Chance of Fall Damage by Moritz Jaeger

[raw]
made by Moritz Jaeger for Ludum Dare 55 (JAM)

Brace yourself for a hard as nails climb!

Trapped inside the walls of a colossal tower, you must harness the power of a magical glove to summon clouds, control the winds and make your escape to the top. Link exhilarating combos to make heart-pounding leaps and unbelievable jumps!

ALERT: This is what some people call a "rage game", so it's quite hard but hopefully challenging and fun :)

Please share the top heights your reached in the comments :D We wanna know how far you got!

Nice game. Enjoyed the amount I played, didn't make it to the top :(. Not sure this types of games is truly for me but enjoyed my time with it. The graphics were nice, really like the cute sheep and the glove texture. The audio was good as well considering that it was all self recorded. We did something similar, nice job!

Cool movement, quite difficult! Mouse sensitivity setting would be nice, it was very low for me.

Love the sounds so much, the cloud was a really fun idea as well. I want to see this in third person as more of a speed game next, because it is super fun

Didn't make it to the top, but it was fun! Unbelievably unforgiving, but a really cool mechanic to use as a rage-platformer. Great entry!

28 meters, that's all I could do. For me, it's very difficult. The narrator is an interesting feature!
Loved this game!

Very challenging and funny. Graphics and sound effects aren't that bad. Love the narrator.

Good concept, but you are right, this is a rage game! My feeble platformer skills are no match for this game

Fun game! The level of difficulty scaled really well as you got higher, and that's harder to do than it seems. Good job!

Well, I am not a fan of rAgE GaMeS but listening protogonist's inner monologue gave me motivation to keep playing this one. And in fact it wasn't as difficult as I expected - I could reach what, I guess, is the end of the game.

Awesome soundtrack - both music and spoken lines.

The narration is definitely a great addition to the game, makes me want to keep trying!

At first it took me a bit to realize that the wind is basically an air dash, rather than something that you place down and use to gain momentum.

Didn’t get far enough to try out the cloud summoning, but from what I played, it was a lot of fun, and the character feels great to control!
