'Sophie's World' is a game for kids and thier reflexes. But not only for kids :).

Protect the happy cloud SOPHIE from her enemies by clicking
on the DARK CLOUDS to stop them from making her cry.

FRED is a Stone.
But watch out: Every day FRED has to catch the one and only raindrop to cooldown from the heat of the sun! If you don't catch the raindrop, the water level rises.

Hint: Stones can't breath under water!

It's getting harder from day to day...to save SOPHIE.

Controls
-----------
'left' mouse button - stop angry clouds and save SOPHIE

cursorkeys or 'w,a,s,d' - move FRED

Notice
--------
Chrome: You can use the Nacl-LOVELINESS extension:

The WebGL Version is bestviewed with Firefox/Safari. Chrome does not repeat the music.

Actually it was meant as touch game and i ported it to Vita for the kids. You can watch the video.

Very cute. I like the graphics and the music! This game seems fantastic for a younger audience!

Thanks. Yes, it's indeed meant for younger players :).

The sun beam on the background graphic was a nice touch. Also btw I go to the next level regardless of whether or not I catch the tear.

@TaleLore: Yes. If you don't catch the raindrops, the water is rises every day a bit more. If there is enough water to push Fred under water the also game ends.

Such a happy game with cute characters. :) Really liked the music. And the sun beams look fantastic!
Got a little bit repetetive after some levels, but as other commenters said, it fits well for a younger audience.

This kept me playing longer then I expected.

I think my version was bugged? The water level didn't rise, it just .. if I didn't catch one tear it would go way over my head almost instantly and game over. I played the Windows version. It's a cute little game with fantastic music and atmosphere, I imagine young kids would love it - but I have to admit I played longer than I thought I would as well.

I like the dark clouds very much, they look very cute and funny :)

This is such a nice game. It was a lot of fun and a good use of the theme.

Ok :-/. Please try another version. I will disable the WebGL version for now, until i fixed it.

The WebGL Version works with Firefox & Safari. Chrome has a bug in repeating the music.

Very contemplative. Very cute :). A little bit dull and easy on the gameplay side, but at least there was a nice track of music to listen to!

Cute idea and nice turn on the theme!
I like the graphics!

Cute. Wish I had a 4-5 year old around to watch them play, as I found it pretty easy. What is Fred? a cup? Seemed like left/right would've been enough input, moving up and down didn't seem to add anything.

Good solid effort in pretty much all categories. One suggestion I have is to add some cute sound effects. e.g. When a raindrop falls on the rock, you hear a hiss and an 'aaaahhhhhhh' sound. Things like that show kids that the rock is hot. Well done.

It's a good idea to create a game with no violence :D

Seems like a perfect match for the audience you shot for. More sounds and maybe more interactive effects would take this a long way!

Cute little game, with sweet graphics and nice, melancholic music. I can imagine it working wonders for kids on a tablet.

Good job! :)

Lovely music. Gameplay is a little basic and the controls are a little slippery.

Controls are a bit fiddly - at least on the WebGL version. I'd be surprised if a younger player would be able to master it, at least in that format.

Nice graphics, kids should love them!
Music is nice but a bit too short. Sound FX could be smoother.
You should add a few more animations (like when Fred gets the water drop or when a dark cloud is stopped).
