DESCRIPTION

Cloud Master is a typical side-scrolling shooter with not so typical enemies, including cat heads, flying bowls of ramen noodles and killer roosters. Also atypical is the "ship" you control — a wizard standing on a cloud. There are plenty of things to shoot within the boss-guarded five levels of play, and the game is plenty challenging. However, the shooting action is dull, power-up variety is minimal, and the backgrounds are washed out with little graphical detail (the foreground doesn't look so hot, either). This game pales in comparison to such genre greats as R-Type and Gradius. ~ Brett Alan Weiss, All Game Guide
