Up to Clouds

Up to Clouds is about defending a village from monsters trying to descend a giant vine from the world above the clouds. You study the attackers, set traps along their routes and fight them yourself with weapons and armor. Stop them from reaching the ground before they destroy your home.

Waves and routes

Monsters attack in random groups and arrive in waves, with each attack lasting for a different amount of time. Up to four different teams can attack at once. The “Next Wave Attackers” page shows their weaknesses, damage resistances and the points awarded for defeating them. On the map, you can select attackers to see the routes they take down the vine, including which traps they pass.

The game has seven types of traps, each dealing different damage. You can build and upgrade traps with gold, choosing them to suit the enemies on their routes; for example, Lizardmen take the most damage from lightning. You can also fight the attackers directly, using equipment dropped by monsters or special weapons found in treasure chests.

Weapons and armor

There are 22 weapons across five types: Weapon and Shield, Two Handed Weapon, Dual Weapon, Bow and Wand. The game also has five armor types—Helmet, Shoulder guard, Armor, Glove and Boots—with nine armor sets available.

Your character's Defense, Attack, Damage, Vitality, Mana, Experience point and Level change as you level up and use weapons and armor. You can check the condition of your equipment, which gets damaged in battle, and spend gold to repair it at the Forge. Gold can also be used to enchant weapons, such as adding fire damage to a bow.

Protect the village

The village has six cottages, which show its condition. Each creature that gets down the vine damages one house, and if all the houses are destroyed, the game ends. During a boss fight, losing a life also costs you a cottage. You can rebuild houses with gold.

Gold comes from chests and defeated monsters. You can spend it to build and upgrade traps, repair and enchant equipment, rebuild cottages, or open Uncommon, Rare and Epic Chests. If you die, you go to a graveyard away from the vine.

Scores and progression

You earn points for defeating creatures and completing waves, and can use them to climb the leaderboard. The charts also rank players by their gold and the number of creatures they have defeated.
