Playdate game Cloudburst

Made by Rae

Real-time weather. On your Playdate.

Curious what the forecast looks like? Easy! But...your laptop's out of reach, your phone's battery is dead, your smart assistant's brain is busted, and your curtains are shut. It's just you, and your Playdate. What can you do? Well, here is your answer! Leveraging state-of-the-art networking capabilities, Cloudburst is a fully seamless, on-line enabled weather app for your Playdate!

Get the forecast here, there, or anywhere — it's compatible with cities around the world! (And don't worry, it works with Fahrenheit or Celsius — metric or imperial.) See detailed stats such as hourly forecast, precipitation, wind, and more. Change settings to your heart's content, and even use it as a low-power screensaver — the perfect desk buddy. No external tools or setup required, just download and go — it's weather, untethered.

This game's developer created it without the use of generative AI.
We think this app is appropriate for everyone.
This app uses the d-pad and A and B buttons to navigate menus. The crank can optionally be used, but you don't need to be precise. An active Internet connection is required. A user-inputted location string is saved locally, and submitted to weatherapi.com to gather weather data.
