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 • A Daily Forecast: claim a streak-friendly gift each day — a missed day pauses the streak, never resets it • The Skyworks Ledger: a second, permanent prestige board — spend Storm Sigils on works that never reset • The Charter Board: sign a patron's bottling contract for zaps now and reputation forever — four patrons, permanent perks • Named Tempests: rare, boosted super-storms with names of their own and a live window — ride one hard to bottle a Vintage • The Vintage Rack: a 96-bottle collection graded by how hard you rode each tempest, paying permanent Vintner's Renown • The Label Press: eighteen jar labels struck for real mastery feats — wear your best on the bottle • Field Records: cranks turned, storms weathered, tempests caught, fastest season — your story in numbers • 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.
