Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (video game)

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is a video game tie-in based on the film of the same name which is also based upon the 1978 children's book of the same name. The game allows the player to control Flint Lockwood, the film's hero, as he must save his town and the world from the rain of food, fighting highly mutated food enemies and using his gadgets to help him on the way.
==Cast==

==Gameplay ==
Players control inventor Flint Lockwood using six different weapons to traverse food-covered landscapes and defeat sentient food creature enemies to complete missions. Many hazards exist within each level, from vicious food creatures to environmental hazards such as water (Flint cannot swim and will instantly drown) to burning chili. However, losing all health is only a minor setback, as Flint respawns in a similar location to where he died, and the player loses no progress on Hydronic Foodpods or level objectives, and the player does not lose any collected Hydrons. After dying, enemies and blockades such as ice pops or chips are respawned.
The PSP and Nintendo DS version of the game has much more confined and boxlike environments than the PC version. The platforming is much more limited as well, only allowing the player to jump across certain platforms. This version of the game is also anatopic at times, with ice cream snowballs appearing in Restaurant Row, and also introduces enemies in a different order than in the PC version.
=== Inventions ===
The player must use six different weapons to complete each level. The inventions equipped are predetermined for each level, and the player can only switch between the inventions provided. These are:
* Forkamajigger
* Chopper-er
* Bigacious Pow
* Hot Enougher
* Upsucker Plus
* Spray-on Shoes
=== Hydrons and Hydronic Foodpods ===
From the PC game's manual:
In addition to the blue Hydrons that drop when destroying Hydronic Foodpods, there are also red Hydrons (or green for the PSP version) scattered across the levels. These Hydrons restore a bit of Flint or Steve's health.
In the PSP version of the game, Hydrons are scattered across the level and Flint must walk over them to collect them. They can also be collected by defeating enemies and destroying Hydronic Foodpods. Unlike the PC/Xbox versions, every Hydronic Foodpod displays a bar showing how much damage it takes from each hit from Flint's inventions.

==Trivia==
*The Power Plant Perimeter level was available to play as a demo downloaded from Ubisoft's website for the game. The gameplay in the full game is exactly the same as in the demo (although the demo had a few tutorial screens that were not necessary in the final version of the level).
*There is a secret location in 1-5 which is reached by jumping at a specific angle towards the window where the mayor can be seen. Standing in certain areas in this location will turn Flint invisible and, while invisible, if the Upsucker Plus is used, it will spin. Honey will also stick to the ground in this location.
*Sam calls Flint "indefatigable," which means "showing sustained enthusiastic action with unflagging vitality."Indefatigable
*The world record Any% speedrun of the PC version of the game is currently 01:06:43. The current world record 100% speedrun is 02:23:26. Both records are currently held by Russian speedrunner Raytem.
