Our take on Nubarron: The adventure of an unlucky gnome
Rather than treating platforming as a sequence of independent jumps, the game makes a companion cloud the central source of both danger and puzzle interaction. Its changing moods replace a fixed support ability with sections that shift between evasion, aiming, and direct control.
What is Nubarron: The adventure of an unlucky gnome?
Guide a gnome through a painted fantasy setting filled with unusual creatures, platforming obstacles, puzzles, and boss encounters.
The gnome’s troublesome cloud companion is central to progression: it can direct lightning at enemies and puzzle targets. Different cloud states change how these sequences work. In hostile sections, the player keeps moving while avoiding lightning aimed at the gnome. In neutral sections, lightning can be directed while those attacks continue. In friendly sections, the cloud can be controlled without incoming strikes. The story follows the gnome’s attempt to get rid of the cloud and recover a stolen Lucky Hat, while also questioning which characters can be trusted. The game combines casual platforming with cloud-based challenges.
