The Cloudy Hill

The Cloudy Hill is a small push-your-luck game about brewing clouds and shipping them high in the sky. Cloudy Hill is covered in clouds again today. Here stands the workshop of a Cloudsmith, who makes a living brewing clouds. Brewing clouds is simple. Choose one, and send it into the sky. The higher your clouds rise, the more valuable they become. But draw a Nimbus, and everything you’ve built up during that run will turn to rain. Ship now and secure your earnings? Or risk going just a little higher? A little luck. A little greed. BREW CLOUDS Choose one cloud from a group. If the brew succeeds, your cloud rises into the sky. Keep brewing to climb higher and increase its value. CROSS THE TRADE WINDS Each time you cross a Trade Wind high above the hill, clouds brewed at that altitude become more valuable. The higher you go, the more Lm you can earn when you ship. SHIP OR KEEP GOING You can ship your clouds whenever you like. Ship them, and the earnings from that run are yours. If your instincts tell you there’s still room to climb, keep going. But draw a Nimbus, and the results of that run will turn to rain. There’s no limit to how high you can brew. If you’re feeling lucky, follow that feeling and keep going as far as you dare. And if a run just doesn’t feel right? Ship early, even with only a few clouds. Enjoy the little tension between brewing one more cloud and knowing when to ship. LIFE AS A CLOUDSMITH Use the Lm earned from shipping to collect new Pots, Companions, fruit trees, and more. They aren’t tools for becoming stronger or competing for better stats. Simply choose the ones you like and make Cloudy Hill your own. A small game of chance in the sky, made for short play sessions. The hill where the Cloudsmith lives is cloudy again today.
