Launching on Switch next week is Rain on Your Parade, a slapstick comedy title that looks like an ideal fit for fans of 2019 eShop hit, Untitled Goose Game.
The game has you playing as a mischievous cloud that appears to have a single wish in life: to create absolute mayhem. You'll need to take this cloud through a number of levels, unlocking new abilities and mechanics as you go that are all designed to give you new ways to get up to mischief.
Judging by the trailer above, levels will have checklists just like those found in our favourite Goose's adventure, and the activities on offer are pretty varied. There's a wedding scene to destroy, you can unleash thunder and lightning upon cities, freeze the roads to cause accidents, and even rain down meteors at dinosaurs. This cloud has some serious power.
Features
* Ruin peoples day with rain, thunder, lightning, tornados and many more abilities.
* Travel the world in over 50 levels causing disorder and havoc to weddings, cities, farms, military bases, parking lots and much more.
* Give the mischievous cloud your personal touches. Draw a unique face and choose the hat it wears.
* An upbeat and silly soundtrack that encapsulates the nature of the game.
Rain on Your Parade launches on the eShop on 15th April for $14.99 / £11.99. We actually featured this one in our recent round-up of exciting games coming to Switch in April, so here's hoping it turns out to be a winner.
What do you think? Will you be giving this one a go? Let us know with a comment.

Well, I loved untitled goose game so I'm probably gonna love this
That actually looks pretty good! I hope its made well and has enough content for through playing!
I like new concepts. I'll give it a go for sure...
Saboteur Cloud. 😆
Oh, wait. I can cast Thundaga ?
I’m really hoping the press release said ‘please compare this to Untitled Goose Game at every opportunity, we love riding coattails’
This looks epic!
Loved the look of this in the last indie showcase. Also loving the look of Say No! More.
Looks fun, love goose game, even got the wife playing it with me for a while
Oh my gosh, I so needed this laugh today. Seriously, if this game were available today, I'd be playing it.
Free on Gamepass, as well.
I'll play it safe, and wait for a review. I've bought enough regrettable digital games. It's disappointing to by a game you only play briefly a few times.
@TryToBeHopeful I was about to say the same thing. I was debating getting this for my Switch and then I saw that it was coming to GP. Even though, I think this game is a better fit for the Switch, I’m already paying for GP. So, no need to pay twice... unless it’s that good
Looks great but the people look super low res for some reason
Looks interesting for sure.
Basically Internet Forum: The Game
Considering I'm a sociopath, this sounds like a great time!
It looks hilarious! I hope it reviews well.
Looks like it has some What the Golf in it as well.
if it can be even half as creative and diverse as What the Golf, I am totally in: I've never had so much fun and laughed so hard as I did playing the campaign of that game. Every hole was a new challenge and so many easter eggs/callbacks to older games.
The callback to Metal Gear in the trailer makes me optimistic it could be another star.
I didn't like the list-based nature of Untitled Goose Game and would love something like this if it felt like it had more freedom.
Looks better than Untitled Goose Game if you ask me. Was sort of disappointed in that game. Not saying it’s bad, just saying it was capital f Fine.
Dang... this is another one of those "I had a vaguely similar idea years ago when I thought I was going to go into game design but it turned out I wasn't dedicated or talented enough" sorts of games. Normally I'd boycott it out of spite, but it does look pretty adorable and entertaining so I'll probably check it out.
I did a video on this game’s demo and I really enjoyed it! I love the fourth wall breaks!
