    Beautiful and ruthlessly addictive. Be prepared to lose your time. And the feeling in your fingers. [June 2014, p.68]

    The game's story should have explained why we are trying to jump with the heroine protagonist through floating levels in the air. But nonetheless, Cloudbuilt is a perfect platformer that will charm you with a booster-like tempo along with its graphics.

    Cloudbuilt is fun once you get the hang of things. A good challenge for those that do not frustrate easily.

    If you're more intrigued by jetpacks, rocket boosts, wall-running and the thrill of flying off a ramp as you make your way to levels end as fast as you ruddy well can, Cloudbuilt is heartily recommended.

    Cloudbuilt succeeds remarkably in proving that how a game feels and what you do within it can tell stories all on their own.

    There are some aspects that we would have liked to see polished, but still, Cloudbuilt is a very original, challenging and addictive experience, that everyone who enjoyed classic platformers should, at least, try.

    Cloudbuilt’s platforming-as-time-trial-racing premise puts Sonic to shame, but its visual design detracts rather than supports it.

    Cloudbuilt is a fine game. It’s not a great game. It’s not a really good game. It’s fine.

This is by far Indie Game of the year so far! It’s a must buy, and would be extremely good fun to watch how Speed Runners tackle the challenge. I would love to see Cloudbuilt on consoles at a later date (which hasn’t been fully ruled out yet).… Full Review »

The graphics are beautiful and the music almost outshines it with it´s retro-feel. The controls are tight so you feel like you´re in full control, which makes it even more soothing beating a level.
    Being Coilworks first game makes this a damn impressive game.    … Full Review »

    Might take a few minutes to get used to the controls but it's worth it. I have never had this much freedom in any puzzle game.

This is the most negative thing I have to say about the game.

    The gameplay, graphics, story and gameplay are just wonderful and are all beautifully put together. I'd say it's a must play for anyone that calls himself a gamer.    … Full Review »
