Cloud Shepherd

A cozy puzzle game where you herd the clouds to make it rain

"Cloud Shepherd" is a cozy puzzle game created during FediJam 2024. The theme was "UP IN THE CLOUDS", and that's how the idea of creating a puzzle game where you are a rain god (aka Cloud Shepherd) in training and need to cover fields with rain clouds to help people got into my head!

For a look behind the scenes of its development, take a look at this thread on my Mastodon account.

🤚 HEADS-UP: Cloud Shepherd is not done yet and the jam is not over - I still am actively working on the game, fixing bugs, creating levels, changing things. Consider this an early preview only!
