Instructions:

Be an angry storm cloud amongst cheerful, happy clouds. Spread dissent by shooting the happy clouds with lightning, to turn them into more storm clouds. Control all the storm clouds simultaneously, and try to keep them from being cheered back into happy clouds!

Controls:

Like all VectorStorm games, ThunderStorm attempts to use a gamepad if you have one connected, and this configuration is highly recommended for this game. (Use the ‘Gamepad’ option menu to configure your controller, if it is not automatically recognised)

If you have no gamepad, you can control the game using the arrow keys, the space bar as your “A” button, and the mouse to aim and shoot.

You may quit the game at any time by pressing ‘Q’ or ‘Esc’.
