Cloudrooms

I'm so sorry to give this a bad review, this game looked so promising. my first issue is probably the levels there's not really an indicator on if it's an anomaly or not and got a bit confusing. second is the button to alert that there is an anomaly. It should be at the very end so we don't have to backtrack each time we look. Third is there isn't an indicator to tell you how levels are left or how many times we have to go through the level. Forth (Is probably a skill issue on my part) The anomalies are hard to find sometimes like REALLY hard. Please Dev if you could fix like issue one and three that would be amazing. I do still have high hopes for this game but I think it needs a little tinkering with.

Even after the 1.1.0 update. Nothing is fixed like the devs said in the patch notes. I enter the new environments and theres no checkpoint and the starting rooms all have the button still. the purple environment and the flat cloud environment are all popping up as random anomaly or not an anomaly. Its unplayable in its current state...

Before anything else, I want to say that Cloudrooms is a beautifully crafted game with a ton of potential. The atmosphere, visuals, and core concept show real talent behind the project. That said, I think the execution could use a bit more refinement. I’m a big fan of anomaly-spotting games like Station 8, Exit 8, and I’m On Observation Duty, so when I saw the preview for Cloudrooms, I expected something in that same enjoyable lane. Unfortunately, my experience didn’t quite match those expectations. The game starts out in familiar territory: a base scene where everything is normal, followed by gradual changes. At first, this felt right. But as you progress, you’re suddenly dropped into a completely different environment with no warning or context. At that moment, I genuinely thought the entire level was the anomaly, but apparently it wasn’t. This abrupt shift created a major problem: How am I supposed to identify anomalies in a room when I’ve never seen the room in its normal state? Without a baseline, the core gameplay loop becomes guesswork instead of observation. After about 53 minutes of trying to push through the confusion, I decided to stop. I think the game would…

It was pretty hard; I wished that when you failed a level, you could restart there instead of going back 2 or 3 levels. I ended up taking 5 hours because there's no save feature. I don't know if maybe I was missing it, but I had to leave it open while I ran errands. I feel like I would have finished in an hour if not for that. I was pretty defeated today when I opened it to finish it, and I was back at the start. This is a lot of negatives, I know, but the anomalies are pretty cool, and the aesthetics are so nice; it spooked me at certain points too. For what it is, it isn't too bad; when I finished it, I was upset there wasn't more. I think that can be seen as a positive or a negative, but to me it's positive. If there was stuff added in the future, like more levels or anomalies, I would definitely play again. There's a lot of potential here, and if it's polished up, I think it would be an amazing, fun little game. Put me on to some new devs too, overall it's pretty good, and I would recommend it as a one sitting game to a friend.

The game looks really great, it does give you the feeling of being above the clouds. The anomalies are solid, most have to be obvious given the limited area to work with. The Different areas are confusing. I love that it changes so much to mix things up, but it makes it hard to know when to press the button. I did run into a few bugs. One of which i had to restart to fix. https://youtu.be/9xN-CTrKp_0
