The Pathstorm has unleashed its fury. The power of ancient Storm Objects held the Pathstorm at bay until broken by a mighty surge. The storm barrier fell, and the Pathstorm spread relentlessly across the land. Find the lost Storm Objects. Push back the storm! How to Play: Clear each Storm Path by helping the Pathstormer find and activate lost Storm Objects. The Pathstormer launches Storm Balls onto cloud-covered Storm Paths. The Storm Balls collide with Storm Objects along the way before finally exiting the Storm Paths. Using any audio and visual clues available, direct the Pathstormer to throw Lightning Strikes to burn away the clouds shielding the lost Storm Objects from view. Don't miss, or fireballs will rock the landscape! When all Storm Objects have been found, the Pathstorm will retreat. Some areas must be visited at night, and the Storm Balls glow through the cloud cover. Again, find and activate the Storm Objects, but watch carefully, as there are often many Storm Balls in play at once and many more Storm Objects to find! In areas where the Storm has already passed, valleys will be flooded. Shore up the land from the floods by identifying and activating each Storm Object on their respective Storm Paths. Features: * 300+ Storm Areas to clear. * Over 24 hours of gameplay. * Use multiple profiles for different gameplay and difficulty experiences. * Goal moves and goal time to beat on every level. * A myriad of achievements to earn. A variety of Storm Objects alter the course of the Storm Paths every which way: * Storm Bouncers deflect the course of the Storm Path. * Storm Splitters split the Storm Path multiple times. * Storm Shifters shift the Storm Path to the side. * Storm Twirlers twist the Storm Path away. * Scramblers send the Storm Path in the wrong direction when oriented incorrectly. * Switchers change orientation when hit, varying the Storm Path's course. * All-Direction Storm Bouncers reflect the Storm Path back the way it came or just let the Storm Path pass straight through.
