About Cloudy Day
Cloudy Day is a 2D hand-drawn platformer from MadDevStudios, released on August 27 2025 for PC. It’s an indie adventure where you control a lonely cloud trying to master flight and reunite with its friends. The game is entirely solo developed, with art and gameplay leaning into whimsical simplicity. Bright pastel visuals and light-hearted puzzles define its vibe. Think short levels filled with floating hazards and collectible raindrops. Best for players who enjoy chill exploration over high-speed action.
Gameplay
You steer a cloud through floating islands using precise jumps and wind currents. The core loop involves avoiding spiky obstacles, gathering raindrops to unlock new areas, and manipulating weather to clear paths. Each level is a vertical maze requiring timing and momentum. Controls are light and responsive, with a focus on gentle movement over combat. Environmental puzzles often involve redirecting wind or syncing with rhythmic patterns. Sessions rarely last more than 20 minutes, making it easy to pick up and put down. The hand-drawn style gives every scene a soft, dreamlike texture.
What Players Think
PlayPile users rate it 4.3/5, with 82% completing the game in 4-6 hours. 74% finish all side collectibles. Community moods are overwhelmingly calm (91%) and nostalgic (68%). Critics praise its art but note repetitive late-game levels. One review says “It’s a relaxing escape but doesn’t stretch its ideas far enough.” 63% of players hit 100% achievements, which include finding hidden clouds. The game costs $14.99, making it a low-risk buy.
PlayPile's Take
Cloudy Day works best as a short coffee-break game. Its charm and accessibility win over most players but the lack of depth might leave some wanting more. Achievements and collectibles add replay value. At under $15 it’s a safe bet for fans of slow-burn platformers. Skip if you prefer intense challenges or long campaigns. Worth trying for the art alone.
