Nim, or Accumulonimbus

Nim is a young cloud who lives in a sky-house full of sentimental things that she has collected throughout her life.  However, Nim is about to embark on a tour of the world and cannot bring all of her many artifacts.  Sad and frustrated, Nim whips herself into a tornado, and blows away her sky-house and all her things with it.  The users must help Nim retrieve her items as they fall through the sky in a top-down collection game.  Avoid obstacles, pick up objects, and help Nim on her journey.

Accumulonimbus is a game about growing up and the fears that come with change.  It asks why we choose to hold on to the items that we do, and what it means to let them go.
