Cloud

Cloud is an acclaimed action flight game from 2006 that allows players to realize their life long dreams of imaginative flight, manipulating clouds and creating weather. "A childhood dream simulator" is how many of its fans describe it.  It was originally created as a student research game at the USC Game Innovation Lab, from a team led by Jenova Chen.

Cloud is designed to remind the player of the natural beauty ignored in their daily life. A cup of sparkling water, waving leaves under the sun, blue gradient in the sky, infinite forms of clouds. It is a unique game; a relaxing, non-stressful, meditative experience. It contains four major tutorial levels, representing four different dreams from the child’s point of view, which help players understand how to play the game. There are also ten extra mini-levels for players to enjoy the game features introduced in the training levels.

Because this is an older game from 2006 and was created on a student-developed game engine, we can't guarantee that it will work on modern machines. We've tried it on a few, and it worked okay, with some bugs, so you can still get a sense of how it was meant to work, but we're really only posting this for historical purposes, so please don't get mad if it doesn't work on your machine! :)
