Our take on cloudphobia
Rather than using a long-form campaign, this shoot-'em-up breaks its action into five timed episodes of 3 minutes each. The focus is on completing compact stages, protecting the mothership, and defeating each boss before the clock runs out.
What is cloudphobia?
Cloudphobia is a horizontally scrolling arcade shoot-'em-up in which players pilot giant armored robots through missile-filled stages.
The game contains five episodes, each lasting 3 minutes, with the objective of protecting the mothership, reaching the end of the level, and defeating its boss before time expires. Two mechs provide different play styles: the PLG-90 uses a laser rifle, while the NúllPunktur fights with a Vibroblade. Movement includes shooting, slashing, and boosting. The presentation combines anime-influenced robot designs with battle scenes set against detailed backdrops. Players can save replays and compete through global internet rankings, Steam achievements, and leaderboards.
