April Showers

Quite an original game, this. The idea is to keep a flower alive. You play the part of a cloud and you should rain on the little thing. However, the nasty umbrellas keep sucking up your raindrops.

You have a limited amount of rain in your cloud, though you can absorb more from other passing clouds.

Apart from this, this is very little else to the game. There is very little playability and I don't think it will keep anyone older than four interested for more than a few minutes.

It shares the unfortunate common denominator of most non-violent games - it's boring.
