## What is Stormbottle?

Every storm is money if you brought enough jars.

Stormbottle is an idle game with a living sky. The weather overhead — clear dusk, overcast, full storm — changes in real time and changes your harvest with it. Fill the storm meter, tap the cloud, and ride a x5 surge while lightning walks the horizon.

• A real weather cycle: production climbs as the sky darkens
• Charge the storm meter and release surges when it counts
• Ten harvesters, lightning rod to Eyewall
• Six pieces of leveled gear, five levels each
• Chunky x3 milestones at 20, 75 and 150 of every harvester
• Chase new Seasons: prestige into permanent superbolts (+10% each, longer surges)
• Eight Season zones, each with its own sky, fields and jar to bottle into
• The Bottling Journey: fourteen named milestones from First Jar to Sky Emeritus
• An original quiet theme, synthesized on your device — with soft thunder underfoot
• Jars keep bottling for an hour while you're away — bigger jars in the Depot hold 8 or 24 hours, yours forever with a one-time purchase
• Entirely on-device — no account, no internet, nothing collected

The sky is about to turn. Get the bottles out.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-08-11

v1.2 — every day, the field files a forecast. And the season chase finally explains itself.

• New: Daily Forecast — each day the field files a favorable one: a bottled-zap gift plus a free opening surge, claimed from a quiet chip on the field (no timers, no urgency)
• New: a forecast streak that keeps its place even if you miss a day — it never resets and never scolds
• Clearer super-bolt / season-reset payoff: a season-goal chip on the field, a "chase ready" call in the top bar, and a now-vs-after bottling comparison on the season sheet — you can read exactly what a superbolt banks before you restart
• Your Journey, Seasons, jars and every upgrade carry over untouched

### 1.1 — 2026-07-16

v1.1 — the beta testers spoke, the sky answered.

• New: a three-step field orientation on first launch — bottle your first storm inside a minute
• New: The Bottling Journey — fourteen named milestones charting where all this is going
• New: eight Season zones — every Season chased is a new sky, new fields, a new jar to fill
• New: an original quiet theme and soft storm sounds, synthesized on-device (separate mutes in Field Notes)
• New: lightning now walks the horizon and rain streaks the glass while a storm is up
• New: the Bottling Depot — Extended Jar (8h) and Overnight Cellar (24h) one-time upgrades for longer offline bottling
• The night-harvest sheet now shows what a bigger jar would have caught
