Questions
Frequently Asked
Everything worth knowing before your first run.
Is CloudRift free to play?
The browser version is free to play with no sign-up. Coins earned in the browser version unlock characters, skins and trail effects, and nothing on this site costs money. Pricing for the mobile and Steam releases has not been announced.
Do I need to download anything to play?
No. The browser version runs directly on this site with no download, install or account. Open the play page and tap to start.
Can I play CloudRift on my phone?
Yes. The browser version is built for touch and scales to phone screens, so you can play from a mobile browser without installing anything. Tap anywhere on the playfield to flap.
How do you play CloudRift?
One tap sends your character upward. Keep tapping to stay airborne and thread the gap between each pair of gates. Touching a gate, the ceiling or the ground ends the run. Coins sit inside the gaps, so the tightest line is also the most rewarding one.
How do I unlock Challenge mode?
Score 25 in Classic mode. Challenge then flips modifiers mid-flight: the backdrop changes every 12 points, the scroll speed shifts every 25, and a shrink window arrives every 50. It tracks its own separate high score.
What is the difference between Classic, Custom and Challenge?
Classic and Challenge are playable in the browser now. Classic is the pure score run; Challenge changes the map, speed and character size as your score climbs. Custom is a designed native-release mode with loadouts and optional hard mechanics, and is not currently in the browser build.
How many characters and skins are there?
Six characters and twenty-one skins, plus six trail effects that equip independently of your skin. Every one is bought with coins earned by playing.
Does my progress save?
Yes, in the browser you are playing on. High scores, coins and everything you have unlocked are stored locally on your device, so clearing your browser data or switching to a different browser starts you fresh.
When is CloudRift coming to mobile and Steam?
CloudRift is planned for Google Play, Steam and the App Store, but release dates have not been announced. The browser version is playable now with Classic and Challenge modes; Custom mode and powerup loadouts are part of the planned native feature set.
