Use of the limitation
Aside from obvious hidden-object nature of the game, I included optional hidden secrets on the game that you unlock from playing it long enough and paying attention to the background. And these secrets are not limited to power-ups...

Unique concept, for some reason I kept struggling with finding the triangle lol I like the E to hide the UI thats much needed! Great work doing this mostly by yourself!
Thanks! Also, what triangle?
One of the clouds represents somewhat of a triangle shape.
do you by chance mean this one?
A simple, but very fun game! I really enjoyed playing it, and the power ups made the gameplay loop feel frash and fun. I think your interpretation of the limitation is very unique, I love how you used the limitation as an advantage for the game! And the music was fun, too. However, I personally quickly started to feel overwhelmed by the amount of clouds formed. I think the game would benefit for a slower, more gradual approach; perhaps at first there will only be a few clouds, and after a few minutes you start to get more and more clouds. Well done!
Thank you very much for your kind words! I'll playtest the game with your suggestion, and will see if it gets better. Make sure to check when I publish the upcoming post-jam update, that will come with new gameplay additions!
I'll definetally check! Looking forward to see the update!
Hint: There's not just secrets with power-ups.
I definitely enjoyed this game. Very simple yet very fun and difficult!
Cute and enjoyable. I experienced the issue others have mentioned where required shapes sometimes don't appear, but I thought the hidden bonuses were a clever touch.
This game is simple but gets surprisingly challenging, which keeps it fun. The hidden bonuses are a great touch! A larger game window and clearer goals would make it even better. Also, making sure required shapes always appear would help. Great job!
Thank you very much! I will add a larger game window in the upcoming post-jam update, so tune in for that! But what do you mean by clearer goals?
I haven't played this game for long (because im horrible at it lol) but from what secrets I can see it looks like a lot of effort was put into it! One thing though is that I wish the cloud in the image could only show a shape that was already on screen because I played a round where it was a w and I didn't see a single w spawn the entire time...
Still this is really good!
Yeah, sometimes the game picks a cloud that isn't there. I'll add some more stuff onto the game after the jam, fog that blocks clouds, cloud spawner power-up, etc. There's also lore that is to come. I'd advise y'all tune in!
Well executed idea! Wish the difficulty scaled a bit more other than sometimes waiting for a certain cloud to appear
I like your suggestion! I'll add a difficulty spike! Also, pay attention, there's more secrets than just power-ups.
Interesting idea, I liked it. The task of finding the required shape looks easy at first, but it gets harder as you go. Also, different bonuses as secrets is a good idea.
What I'd like to suggest for improvement - please increase the size of the game window. Because it's very small and makes playing difficult :( Also maybe you can add some levels or win condition, because endless finding is a bit boring.
Overall it's a good game! I also appreciate if you play and rate mine.
Thank you very much! As of now, I don't have any plans to update The Cloud Watcher - perhaps I DO increase the windows size. I will not add levels, the game is intended as an arcade-esque game; adding levels allows for less replayability, and the game already has a linear path with the secrets. I will make sure to playtest your project, it looks very promising.
