Cloudscrapers

Cloudscrapers is a minimalist strategy game in which the player builds towers that reach up into the clouds. The developers describe it as being inspired by watching cloudy skies and passing storms, and it is aimed at players who want thoughtful gameplay without complex systems. Sessions are described as bite-sized, intended to suit short periods of play.

The player begins with a set of simple tools and attempts to build the tallest tower possible. Each climb is a fresh attempt, and progress made during a run contributes to unlocking upgrades that help the player build higher on subsequent attempts. The building mechanics are designed to be intuitive, and the game does not use complicated menus or layered systems.

As a tower grows, the player discovers ancient relics and uncovers mysteries hidden within the clouds, with the developers noting that some of these may be better left alone. The game is presented in a hand-drawn, atmospheric style, and its central mystery is revealed gradually as new heights are reached.
