A Cloudy Adventure: Made in Philly [Review & Code Giveaway]

A few months back we featured the Kickstarter for A Cloudy Adventure from local indie game dev SkyKey.

Good news everyone! Thanks to your help, the Kickstarter was successful and the game is now out. I was lucky enough to check out the game; read on for a brief overview and details on how you can score a free copy.

Billed by its creator as an iPhone game made with happiness, hugs, and joy, A Cloudy Adventure is the first release from Philly local Emmanuel Petti. The Cheddar Bandits have struck the Cloud Kingdom, made off with all the cheese, and taken poor young Prince Cloudy hostage. After dumping him in the unfamiliar Pinelands, Cloudy has to find his way back home and get as much of the cheese back as he can along the way. There’s just one small problem – Cloudy hasn’t yet learned to fly. That’s where his buddies the Band of Blocks (and you) come in.

The game is broken up into three worlds of ten stages each. Your job is to get Cloudy past various obstacles and to the exit point in each stage using only the cross breezes from the blocks you position to make his path. If you’ve got quick fingers and you’re really up for a challenge, you can also try collecting the three cheese pieces hidden in each stage along the way.

Taking back your valuable cheddar will unlock various “acheesements” with cosmetic rewards for your characters. I had a blast playing through the first world, but trying to get all the cheese wheels in each level makes my brain hurt. Make no mistake, this game is easy to pick up and play, but there’s lots of challenge for the completionists out there.

A Cloudy Adventure is a fun physics-based puzzle platformer made right here in Philly… What’s not to love? Here’s the best part: Emmanuel was kind enough to provide us with some codes for a free download for the game. All you have to do is leave a comment, and we’ll pick five responses and send those people a FREE copy of A Cloudy Adventure!
