Cloud Sculptor — carve the wind until only the mark remains

Cloud Sculptor

The center stone stops the wind. Carving the wind one way pushes the cloud one cell that way, and any puff that hits the stone or leaves the sky disperses. The card stays when the puffs that remain are exactly the marked cells.

Up or W is north, right or D is east, down or S is south, left or A is west. V changes the view, Esc pauses. Those directions are the sky, not the camera, and changing the view leaves the cloud where it is. The cloud you start with is larger than the mark, so it cannot all be kept. The card stays on this screen and is not saved on the device.

How to play

Up, down, left, and right are the sky's axes, not the camera. Carving the wind that way pushes every puff one cell. A puff that meets the center stone or leaves the 3×3 sky disperses. You cannot add cloud, and the cloud you start with is larger than the mark. The remaining puffs matching the marked cells exactly wins. Losing the whole cloud, or reaching step 8 without a match, loses. This card stays on the screen and is not saved on the device. The view button does not change the cloud.

Origin & history

Cloud Sculptor is an original OIYO puzzle: you carve the wind and thin the cloud down to a marked shape. Four skies were checked by hand; a seed picks one. It uses no map or audio from another game.

FAQ

Does the same seed always build the same sky?

Yes. The seed picks one of four skies that were checked ahead of time. The cloud is not scattered again every frame, so a shared address is the same puzzle.
