Cool game, but I feel like it starts to gets a bit repetitive. The tornado-catching mechanic is  a cool concept, however it feels rather unpredictable.
Overall interesting game, and cool mechanic.
Also if you would mind, please give my game a rating and review, thanks!

Very cool artwork — It felt very cinematic!!

I didn't really understand the minigame though even after a few encounters with the dust devil. I tried backing up from it like in the GIF screenshot you have, but I wasn't able to affect the indicators at all it seemed. A bit confusing, but a nice foundation for a unique concept!

A really gorgeous exploration game with an interesting atmosphere (I am not sure if its better quiet like that or would more sounds and music make it better). Sadly it gets a little boring quite quickly and the tornado capturing skill check mini-game is a bit too unpredictable with the completely random changes, cool concept tho

The visuals were great! Loved the western-esque scifi theme. Like something straight out of Star Wars or Samurai Jack.  And the concept was somewhat unique in context of the jam. Sometimes it felt like it went on for quite a bit before something happened. Maybe needs a little spice for those kinds of moments. Or a kick ass soundtrack. Captured 1 storm.

Oof sorry to hear about that - bad rng for sure :( the first 4 areas have a 0% chance of storms, then it's 50% if there is no landmark
