- If you see some weird black squares on screen, reload the page, it's just
a strange bug.
- Some clouds may pop up suddenly, didn't know why.

However, I encountered a bug a bit after playing- my cloud-changing thingy somehow disappeared.
Still, scattering clouds around is pretty fun and calming.
Except right know it feels a bit incomplete. If only the blue background was replaced with a moving/looping texture, it could have felt like a painting... But sadly, here it feels just like a solid color with a couple sprites on it. The cropping effect on the clouds is interesting though!
I got swarmed by egg plants at one point, then things got scary. :D
Good work!
@GrowthRateOmega Yeah, I just intended to create a calming atmosphere to stay a few minutes :]
@Mikaza There is not any goal actually :D
@Wan Very wise observation, I originally planned to add a looping texture to the background, but time ran out. I will do it in the near future for sure. Regarding the cropping effect... I think it's a bit weird, but there was no easy way to "erase" the sprites more softly.
But it was a zen and cool experience. Nice mood.
Not much of a game, a piece of art :)
PS, thanks for your kind comments! Will ask the organizer about the audio entry :)
You could expand this idea into sculpting clouds on your phone by blowing into the microphone, perhaps?
BTW, added the audio category after discussing with Mike. Thanks for the encouragement on the issue :)
