I have played some fun games in my time, but Rain on Your Parade is one of the most fun games I have played in the last couple of years. I want to start by saying that there is a free demo of this available on STEAM so at the very least you have no reason at all not to try it out. It is one of those games that when you hear the premise is that you play as a cute little rain cloud, you can in no way understand just how fun a time you are going to have.
I’m A Little Rain Cloud
There is not this big over-arcing story at play here in Rain on Your Parade, but that is actually part of the charm of what is going down here. Basically, you play as a naughty rain cloud that just loves to have fun. The only thing is, this rain cloud likes to have fun by causing chaos and ruining everyone’s day!
Making It Rain
In the game, you control the little rain cloud and you need to move him around each level. There are over 40 levels in the game and each one has its own theme. One level may have you trying to trash the crops of a farmer and another may have you needing to be the reason the dinosaurs become extinct!
Let me set a scenario for you. It is a busy street, you make it rain so that a guy slips on the snow, gets hit by a car, the car then plows into a bus stop causing pure chaos. This is just a small example of what is going on here. Each level will give you a checklist of the things that you are required to do in order to complete the level and it is up to you how you go about this.
I Am Super Cloud
I think it is really cool the way that Rain on Your Parade gives you new abilities as you progress. You can make it rain and snow, but eventually, you will be able to drop acid rain, cause tornadoes and even make meteorites fall from the sky. It gives you new abilities at what feels like the perfect pace to keep things fun and interesting for the player.
The Cheeky Cloud
You can actually customize your little cloud which is a lot of fun. You can do something basic like just changing his face. Or, you can take things a step further by doing stuff like giving him a mustache, a hat, or even a little frog that sits on his head. Little touches such as this really do a great job in making the game have that extra bit of personality that keeps you smiling, invested, and even laughing at what is going down.
So Expressive!
I love the whole look of Rain on Your Parade. The game just oozes personality and I love how varied the levels are ranging from a basic street, a farm, a supermarket, and even a place that looks like a level from Metal Gear Solid. The game has a very cute kind of art style and the way the cloud is so expressive really does make this a game that is nice to look at.
So far so very good for what Rain on Your Parade is offering. If you like “strange” games like Untitled Goose Game, I am 100 percent certain that this game is going to be something you have a lot of fun with. The game features a ton of levels and it is so entertaining and amusing that you will have a hard time getting bored while you are playing this.
Pros:
- That cloud sure does like to cause trouble
- Lots of different levels to play
- The game has a fantastic sense of humor
- You can customize the cloud
Cons:
- No word on any post-launch content yet
- I am not sure it is the kind of game you would play over and over again
