Thank you SnakenBacon for your feedback, we are glad that you like it!
Your idea of reversing the meter sounds cool!
We had an idea to only alter the properties of the cloud, i.e. hard/soft-ness, thick/thin-ness, etc to get the cloud into different forms with different abilities. Time didn't allow us to experiment with it though.
Yes, we should've included a level that forces the player to change MC's direction using Platform Cloud. Totally forgot about that while designing the levels ^^;
