There is a surprising amount of customization for Cloudy, as you will collect items, which you can change on the fly, by 100% completing a stage. The game is a bit easy for the most part, but there are some objectives that will challenge completionists out there. Hoomans bounce like ragdolls constantly (thankfully they don’t die, as one of the conversations will assure you), and there’s enough chaotic elements in the area that it’s charming and goofy rather than frustrating. What makes the game hilariously fun is the fact that the controls are perfectly balanced to be tight while also allowing some slippery physics to not make the game too seriously rigid. It never gets boring to water down a group of people, and mixing this with lightning makes for a cathartic release when dealing with the recurring Dr. The people (named hoomans here) can easily be moved around as you are a literal force of nature. Both rain and snow require water to operate, which will deplete as you continue to use those powers. Each face button corresponds to a power that Cloudy has, from your initial rain downpour to snowfall to lightning and a tornado. In fact, the game immediately plops you into a wedding in the first stage as you learn the power of soaking everything and everyone in your path. In Rain on Your Parade, you control Cloudy, a mischievous little cloud that wants to go to Seattle (where it’s always cloudy!) and will stop at nothing to wreak havoc and inconvenience the public’s day. Thankfully, I didn’t have to go far to find Rain on Your Parade, a game with a silly premise that tickles my funny bone and feels innovative with every turn. Donut County, Untitled Goose Game, and Part Time UFO have a quirky similar feel, but they lack the eternal chaos that the Katamari series provides. In the meantime, I’ve been filling up the ball-shaped hole (please don’t read into that) on my Switch with wacky games that are like Katamari Damacy but aren’t. Look, I may have gotten a PlayStation 5 for Astro’s Playroom, but I’m waiting for a next-gen iteration of the Katamari Damacy series to come my way.
