About

Cloudz is a 1998 freeware arcade puzzler for Mac OS 8 and 9 by Polish hobbyist developer Adam Winiecki, built on the Screaming Cabala engine. The player navigates a small character across a sky of platforms by bouncing rather than walking, with the singular goal of avoiding a fall and reaching the level exit.GameplayMovement is governed entirely by the bounce mechanic: each tap of a direction key launches the avatar to a neighbouring cloud, and timing determines whether the next platform is reached or missed. Levels are short, score-free vignettes built around precision and route-finding, with the exit doubling as a checkpoint between stages.Engine and technical changesThe PowerPC build (version 1.0.9, distributed as a 3.74 MB StuffIt archive) targets System 7 through Mac OS 9 and runs cleanly under SheepShaver, making it one of the smaller Screaming Cabala demonstrations preserved on the Macintosh Garden curator pages.Development and releaseCloudz was distributed as freeware through the late-1990s European Mac shareware scene and has since been archived by Macintosh Garden as one of Winiecki's surviving titles. No commercial release or sequel followed.
