CloudCat is a remix of the iconic Chrome dinosaur game, you know, the one you see when you're offline.
You play as a cat strolling along while devious rainclouds try to rain on your parade. Hold up your umbrella to keep your fur dry!
I made this game to have some fun, and to learn Rust! It is my first ever Rust project, so don't expect it to be perfect. It's made using Macroquad, a game library for Rust, and is heavily inspired by the original Chrome dinosaur game.
Play in your browser → or grab the latest release for your OS.
- Space, click, or tap to raise the umbrella
- The umbrella lasts 3 seconds per use
- Survive as long as possible without getting rained on
- Your highscore is saved automatically - but only once the game over screen appears, not if you quit mid-game

Tested on a MacBook Air M1 (2020), v1.3.1 macOS ARM64 build, during active gameplay: 61.8 MB.
Make sure you're in the project root before running any of these commands.
cargo runNote
Requires Python 3 for the local HTTP server. Only tested on macOS and Linux - may not work on Windows.
rm -rf web
cargo build --target wasm32-unknown-unknown --release
mkdir web
cp target/wasm32-unknown-unknown/release/cloudcat.wasm web/
cp index.html gl.js quad-storage.js sapp_jsutils.js web/
cp -r assets favicons web/
cd web && python3 -m http.server 3000Then open http://localhost:3000 (not https! The local server is plain HTTP).
Built with Macroquad in Rust, compiled to WebAssembly for the browser version.
| Area | AI usage |
|---|---|
| Gameplay & screens | Minimal (~5–10%) |
| Game assets (cat, cloud, umbrella) | None - hand-drawn and hand-animated 🎨 |
| Web/WebGL deployment | Heavy (~90%) |
| Release notes | Full (100%) - auto-generated |
| GitHub Actions workflows | Full (100%) - generated, hoping to learn YAML eventually |
Overall, the actual gameplay, concept, and art are almost entirely my own work which I'm very proud of!
