THE WEATHER PLAYGROUND
Little experiments.
Big discoveries.
Move, make, and try another way.
There’s no timer and no lost lives.
Water both gardens. Collect vapor, cool it, let droplets grow, then steer and release.
- 1 · CollectVisit the blue station. Gather at least 3 vapor symbols.
- 2 · Make dropsGo to the top band. Wait until the drops are ready.
- 3 · DeliverChoose a garden, then press Release rain.
- 4 · Grow bothRepeat until both garden bars are full.
Drag or tap the sky, use arrow keys / WASD, or choose a destination. Space releases rain. Step-by-step mode works without timing or precise movement.
What’s real—and what’s our game?
Your flying rock is a make-believe guide. Blue cargo symbols represent invisible water vapor. Cooling moist air can form tiny cloud droplets. Droplet growth takes time; real rain falls under gravity when particles grow enough. Real clouds don’t collect tokens or wait for a release button. Not all rain reaches a garden; some flows away, soaks into soil, or evaporates.
