Cloudbuilt has far too many frustrating technical issues to mention them all in this review, but I enjoyed the game, and I recommend it as long as you have patience and are capable of dealing with the technical flaws. To mention a few of the flaws, I could say something about the funky control scheme or the fact that the menu doesn't seem to want to interact with my mouse at all, even though it states in-game that a mouse and keyboard are recommended. I had to use my Xbox 360 controller to play this game. I also had problems with the game minimizing for no reason, showing the desktop whenever I clicked on the right side edge of the level selection screen. If you can avoid using the mouse, you should be OK with this game, but otherwise, you may be in for a rough ride.

Okay, so the flaws aside, this is a beautiful and exciting game filled with fast-paced platform-jumping and relentlessly difficult enemy/obstacle placement. The game features a plethora of agile movement options, including dashing, wall-running, ledge-climbing, and mid-air jet-jumping (double jump). It also allows for some third-person shooter mechanics, but the focus is primarily on the platforming. Think Shadow The Hedgehog without the lame character and with more difficulty.
