![]() Rain on Your Parade is by no means a game that takes itself seriously, but it’s all the more enjoyable for it. It sounds absolutely bonkers, and that’s because it is. Each of these weather effects ties into the game’s objectives and bring with them plenty of clever ways to progress, with some creative thinking demanded of the player if they want to complete every objective in the game. ![]() ![]() Of course, whilst no one really wants to see rain, there will be times when the weather you unleash can prove useful rain is perfect for putting out fires and growing crops, lightning can cause fires, whilst tornadoes can be used to launch objects across the level, just to name a few of their uses. This starts out as just rainfall, but you’ll soon get access to snow, lightning, and tornadoes that each change up the environment in a multitude of ways. The core gameplay loop of Rain on Your Parade revolves around completing objectives across its fifty levels by unleashing adverse weather effects in each area. It’s an utterly absurd tale really, but it’s packed to the brim with charm throughout and adds an unexpected but appreciated sense of context to all of the rainfall you’ll be unleashing across the land. You’d think Cloudy is the villain in this tale, but no, he’s actually the hero, and yes, you’ll be playing as him as he looks to stop the villainous Doctor Dryspell. Or even secret things on the overworld to do! As the main game was packed full of secrets, and in the DLC, there were only a few.Rain on Your Parade is told in the form of a bedtime story, with a Dad telling his kid about a mischievous cloud known as Cloudy and the countless showers that he brings upon the land. I do wish we got a whole lot more levels. I read each and every entry in it to better understand the time and fun the devs had with making the game. There was also a fun little museum level that helped showcase the development of the game. Where I had to make a roller coaster shoot off its tracks, and make a ferris wheel get loose from its bearings. Then outside of that, you’re just causing mayhem in the craziest of ways! One of my favourite levels included messing up a mall, and a fair. Even the part where Ron has the big circular desk and spins in his chair to avoid talking to people. Now in the main game, there was a level built around “The Office”, but in this DLC, there was a level built around Parks and Recreation. Then on the flip side of excellent reference to video games, there’s pop culture TV show references. During another level, I was in an old vertical SHMUP like 1942! In another, I was going through what was basically rapture, with reference to the dialogue and everything! Even the iconic “would you kindly?”. At one point I helped a dragon destroy a town. Sure there weren’t as many levels as the base game, but I thoroughly enjoyed them all. You get to choose between three separate directions to go, to some fun filled levels. But this set the stage for the rest of the DLC! As once you’re done with planting a crop or two, and leave, the map starts to open up! No no, they grow as you play the game! Or you could watch them grow…maybe it goes faster that way. But you don’t have to stick around and wait for your crops to grow. ![]() The very first level that you’re dropped into, is all about farming.
