How to play

  1. Hop onto each grey cloud to paint it sunny. Paint every cloud to finish the stage.
  2. Falling off the pyramid or touching a hazard costs a life and 100 points. Painted clouds stay painted.
  3. Paint fast for bonus points: each cloud within 3.2 seconds of the last adds 10 more, up to ten steps.

Controls

Arrow keys, WASD or Q E Z C press a diagonal. Space lifts. P pauses. On a phone, tap the four diagonal buttons under the stage.

About this game

Hop across a pyramid of grey clouds and paint each one into sunshine. Rain rolls down the pyramid and wind sprites patrol one row, so read the dotted forecast before each hop. Use the rainbow lift to return safely to the top. Fifteen stages grow from four rows to eight, and endless mode goes on from there.

Strategy and tips

Four steps from your first game of Cloud Painter to expert play.

  1. First game

    Read the dotted line before each hop. It shows where a raindrop or wind sprite goes next, so keep off the square it is heading for.

  2. Getting better

    Keep the combo going. Each cloud painted within 3.2 seconds of the last adds 10 more points, up to ten steps, so keep moving rather than pausing.

  3. Confident

    The rainbow lift takes you back to the top and gives a short safe moment. Save it for when you are cornered on an outer edge.

  4. Expert

    A fall costs a life and 100 points, but painted clouds stay painted. The time bonus shrinks each second and is gone after the par time.

Common mistake Stepping onto a square the dotted forecast points to. A raindrop or wind sprite arrives there next, so a hop into its path costs a life.
