Storm Cellar · Raindrop Race

Raindrop Race

A small raindrop clings to the glass; it only runs once it is heavy enough to beat the glass's grip. Race yours down the window against three others: swallow beads to grow and run faster, and reach the sill before you run dry.

Wiping today's window…

Steer with ← and →, or hold your finger to the side you want your drop to go.

How to play

Raindrops on a window cling to the glass. A small one stays where it landed; it runs only once it is heavy enough for its weight to beat the glass's grip.

Swallow beads: every bead your drop touches makes it heavier, and a heavier drop runs faster.
A running drop leaves a wet trail, losing a little of itself as it goes; if it shrinks too small, the glass holds it and its race is over.
Run in another drop's trail and the glass hardly holds you, so you run faster and lose nothing, but its beads are already gone.
Touch another drop and the two become one: yours.
The glass dries as the race goes on, and its beads shrink away.

Points for the way down and every bead, 200 for each drop you join, and at the sill 1,500 for first, 1,000 for second, 600 for third, or 300 for fourth, with more the quicker you get there. 2,500 brings the Pane racer stamp.
