I just love this game! The visuals and music are incredibly soothing, and I really enjoy the little story that unfolds as you build higher and higher into the sky. It gives the game more depth and makes it feel like more than just a pure puzzle game. On top of that, the gameplay is really fun if you’re looking for a simpler strategy/thinky game. That said, it definitely isn’t without its challenges! It hits exactly …

Really addictive gameplay loop and amazing atmosphere! I'm just placing blocks, trying to min-max my resources but the epic music makes it feel so much more important. Also I LOVE THE SHEEP

This game is a pure jewel. The art is absolutely awesome, and the attention to details is really great! :) The dev are very kind and gentle! I was part of the test before the final release, and they were quite listening to feedbacks! This shows! The game is polished, the storyline is pretty nice, the humour is also quite joyful! The difficulty feels quite balanced, we can play as a casual person, or go hardcore and …

The perfect mix of cozy and strategy! It's really easy to pick up and play, while still offering enough of a challenge to keep me engaged and give me that "just one more run" feeling. Graphics and music are also a big YES. Spotting a little kitty sleeping on a balcony of my tower or a squirrel sitting on a tree branch adds lovely little moments of discovery while I'm building into the clouds.

I’ve been waiting for the full release ever since I tried the demo, and this cozy-strategy game definitely delivers. It’s chill but it does give your brain a good workout at times. Absolutely loving the new endless mode

60 of 116 · most liked firstFor such a simple game, I had a really fun time just trying to get my tower as tall as it could go :> You have to complete the quests by building in specific shapes to get more materials so you can go a little higher each time 🌆⛈️ Game: Cloudscrapers Platform: PC (Windows)

neutral · AI labelView post →This is actually a roguelite puzzle, in a sense that you will fail but then you can use the currency to choose some permanent upgrade so that you get closer to the goal next time. so it get sort of repetitive but i am glad the repetitive part is fun and you will get better as you are more familiar with the mechanics. overall a fun puzzle with a very low price, worth it!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I’ve been waiting for this game for so long, and now it’s finally here, and as expected, I love it! I had issues with motion sickness in the demo version, so unfortunately, the game was unplayable for me. I reached out to the developers in their Discord channel to share my concerns, and I’m happy to see that they’ve now included a mode that minimizes background movement. The developers are so kind and accommodating! Now I can fully enjoy the game. Thank you so much!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →@nementicgames.bsky.social #Cloudscrapers is a fun casual puzzle game. I have some questions still open but I would definitely recommend you check it if you are into the genre! Free demo here : store.steampowered.com/app/3562200/... #IndieGames #IndieRecommendations

Each new one will teach you something different, with relics and mysteries to discover high above the ground. #indiegame
neutral · AI labelView post →Cloudscrapers (@nementicgames.bsky.social) is finally out, and so far is everything I was hoping it would be. This game is a gem and has such a beautiful art style. One of the few games I can accessibly play atm, due to the reduced background motion setting. store.steampowered.com/app/3562200/...
positive · AI labelView post →I can recommend this, especially because it's more than worth the price, but be warned: the grind to reach the ultimate goal is *heavy*. You're basically playing the same map over and over with different pieces, sometimes only unlocking a single skill on the skill tree before having to start all over again. I loved the art style, and despite the grind, it still managed to feel cozy. The building mechanics were fun, the challenge was enjoyable, and the music and weather sounds were great. I…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really enjoying this game so far! The minimalist art style is beautiful, and the gameplay is easy to pick up but still gives you things to think about. Building higher and unlocking new tools feels really rewarding. Great game for a relaxing evening.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very fun game, you have resources you use to make towers or stack your way up. Making towers will give you resources to keep stacking and you want to get to specific heights. Tons of replay value!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really addictive gameplay loop and amazing atmosphere! I'm just placing blocks, trying to min-max my resources but the epic music makes it feel so much more important. Also I LOVE THE SHEEP
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cloudscrapers is fun and challenging. I like the feeling of progression that comes with each round. Also: yay for the recap feature!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →chill but really deep gameplay, love the ghibli-like aesthetic and the soothing soundscape. and plays swell on steam deck!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Love the visuals, and the gameplay is fun! Not too strategic, but not too simple either. By my second and third towers, I’d already found a few small ways to improve my playstyle beyond what the unlocks offer. There’s no time pressure, so it would probably work as a second-screen game, too. Judging by the trailer, there’s a lot more to discover, so I’m excited to keep playing! For the money, definitely a buy.

neutral · AI labelView post →It satisfies the human urge to stack things.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Easy to understand, great balance of difficulty and progression, sprinkled with awesome art and music... what is there not to like. Planning a bit ahead can feel very rewarding and just placing blocks mindlessly wont get you far. Even with almost all upgrades unlocked the last level didnt feel free.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good game, really entertaining. I was initially pissed that my coins didn't transfer from the demo, but then I saw I had way more skills to pick from in the full game, and my anger went away. It’s really addictive. So far, the only frustrating thing is that, besides using the "shield" to protect your resources, there is no way to prevent things like "lightning" or those damned spores. I guess they add a necessary challenge, though I would prefer it if they relied more on "strategic…

neutral · AI labelView post →I played the demo when there was a collab between this game and Bongo Cat, and really enjoyed it. Now that I have the full version, I enjoy it even more! And??? the storyline is turning out to be pretty darned interesting~ This has become my cozy-gaming-on-the-bed game, on my Steamdeck, and the cats are very pleased to have more cuddly gaming time. <3 Highly recommended!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Simple and light enough to be relaxing but still strategic. I wish a sandbox/creative mode was available just for fun, especially with all the blueprints you discover along the way. Maybe that is a feature that unlocks later?
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game NEEDS difficulty levels. Easier for people not good at puzzles and hardcore for people who love a challenge. Right now it's kinda basic. I will update the review when things change.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game was exactly what I wanted it to be. I play a lot of complex city builders, so when I saw this one was a simpler style, I was interested. It is amazing for a simple city builder. Do I wish there was more? of course. There's a lot of potential for expansion. Do I think it needs more? No. This is a great game, especially for the price.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Loving the visuals! The game is surprisingly deep, but in the best way possible :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Awesome and Cozy Puzzle Game, love it! :)

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I downloaded the demo and after completing it decided that this game was for me! It has a Dorfromantik vibe but in a vertical space. Highly recommend if you like that type of game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really enjoyed the resource strategy management with the game! It had a small learning curve to understand how certain perks worked to add to my resources but once you get the "Oh I see!" moment it is so rewarding. The art was great, just seeing how everything was drawn to stack or combine. The story mode took me about 12 hours and it opens up challenge mode so you can keep building as much as you'd like!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the game is cute and low key comforting, but i truly cannot recommend. the main plot is kind of cool, but since the game is pretty short, you come to the conclusion too fast to form any connection to Nyx to really feel anything more than "well, okay, nice" in the end of the story, even though idea is extremely nice. how long it will take of you to finish the plot, vary on how lucky you are with drops, but will take no more than 5-7 hours of gameolay. challenge mode would've been nice if there…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Perfect game to play on my Ally. There's more strategy to the game than I initially thought too and you get a lot of game for the cost. LOVE the art, such a beautiful game!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has been so fun to play! I'm a big lover of puzzles, and the fact that this is a continuous game of puzzles with a short story is so cool to me. The graphics are nice and bright, and the obstacles are fun to navigate. Overall, I loved this game, and will continue playing even though I've beaten it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun game. Weird lore. The super friendly elf trying to recruit people to build up the the clouds is possessed by an evil entity bent on destruction and revenge and they say "oh i think i can control it". Then you learn that the heavens had banished their evil entity hundreds of years ago to prevent people from building towards the clouds... yet here we are. Building. not supposed to be possible. Anyway, its clear the super friendly elf has been evil the entire time and is using you to attack…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Simply not enough content for the price.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very solid puzzle game, with easy to understand rules and interesting upgrades that change the flow each playthrough.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wow. Just wow. When I first saw the game, I knew that I would probably enjoy it - it's right up my alley. Then the devs continued to pile on amazing art, interesting game play and funny and lovable characters (looking at you, Nix~ I just wanna pinch his cute lil' cheeks 😭❤️) I'm not that far into the story, but I love where this is going. The strong, and brilliant art style is carrying the whole vibe to the next level of enjoyment for me. It feels so distinctive and full of character,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →In this game you relax and challenge yourself at the same time. It's training visual logic and works as a good distraction. The plot isn't complex, but it's not the game you play for the plot! All in all, a great game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Charming and addicting little game. Loved it!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What a lovely surprise! I'm not one for roguelikes but this is a clear exception! The strategy is maximal and the luck minimal, I feel. And what a fun strategy~ Working out how best to use your materials, when to use the special blocks, when to refresh and when to replace made quite a fun game loop. It definitely felt more like a puzzle game and hey, I love me so puzzles :3 The visuals are great and the music phenomenal (especially when you are in the realm of a guardian.) Each level had some…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I haven't had the time to play a lot, but I'm having a lot of fun so far! I played the demo and immediately put it on my wishlist. It's a cozy game and very easy to just mindlessly click through, but it definitely benefits from actually strategizing ^.^'. But that just means its good for when I want something satisfying that I can either think about a lot or not very much, depending on my mood. I'm very excited to play more!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good game. Don't like the story though. Would prefer challenge mode directly
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice chill game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you like tetris games this is a lil bit more flare...i played for 3.6hours consistently WHY?! Because it is addictive. Yes, you do start over but your progress and earning are taken into consideration for your game therefore you are able to boost you gameplay to reach further in the game. The graphics is wonderful & the gentle music is very soothing to play along with especially if it's hours. Storyline is very intriguing. My one observation is i wish there is more animation, meaning…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →bought it on launch after playing the demo months ago, I am having a great time with it, i play in short bursts and the sound track is amazing
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is quite challenging for me anyway, but I loved it. In story mode I think the second tower is harder than the final tower. Giving a positive review in hopes that more people will find this game and we can get more content - like sandbox mode.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Strategy, puzzle, resourse management, roguelike, Tetris - this game has it all! It is a pleasure to play. Right now I would say it is one of my favorites. I reached height of 372 in endless mode, and I didn't even noticed how those 1.5 hours passed! Also, the chanting in the Abyss is one of my favorite parts, I would listen to it for hours on repeat! (It's a shame you can't turn it on in 3rd chapter and in endless mode, music there goes without words..)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good game, right length for the price. The art and music made a really nice vibe while playing.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A short but neat puzzle game; not too tough, not too easy. Well worth the asking price, even outside of sales. (launch price was under a fiver, which is less than I spend on the occasional fancy coffee and pastry; Cloudscaper certainly lasts longer than they do, as my playtime can attest)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Lovely Game that made me go " oh just one more round " so many times I lost count :D
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm biased towards the art since I made some art for this game, so I'm gonna focus more on gameplay here, and I'm honestly really happy with how the team expanded on the mechanics initially shown in the demo. It's simple and intuitive but still needs a strategic approach when it comes to managing resources, and it just feels like the perfect little game to boot up for a run or two when taking a break or waiting for someone to join a call, and I personally am constantly on the lookout for…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A beautiful game. You feel the passion and love put into it in every moment. I play it on my steam deck and enjoy it a lot.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Best I would describe it: It's Dorfromantik but upwards. Good chill relaxing game, definitely worth the few bucks. Watch a YT Video or listen to a podcast/music while playing and this game can keep you entertained for many hours. EDIT: Finished the Story in 4 Hours. Already worth the money. The Unlocked mode is fun aswell!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very fun game! I loved the demo so once it released, it was an immediate purchase for me. The gameplay is fun and cozy, and just the right amount of challenge. I definitely agree with other reviews that this has a Dorfromantik vibe but with some progression that's very satisfying. Super fun to play on Steam Deck.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very zen-like little puzzle/strategy game. The music is beautiful and you're immersed pretty much straight away. It's deep enough that I find myself reconsidering previous steps and trying again to improve on old strategies. Works well on steam deck which is a massive plus for me. Perfect game for zoning out during travels!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A well-polished causal puzzle game with some rougelite elements. Pretty easy buy for the price if you're into that sort of game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like this calm building puzzle rythm. It makes me wanna continue endlessly and beat my last reccord but also has a nice rough like mechanic for a nice player progression.
